All modules are connected by a parallel data and address bus that allows the processor
board to send and receive information to and from the other modules as required. There is
also a separate serial data bus for conveying sample data from the input module to the
processor.
Note: It is possible to connect to the Ethernet network any of the P746 without the embedded
Ethernet board using the RS485 to Ethernet converter MiCOM I4X (Courier protocol)
1.2 Software
overview
The busbar protection is a centralised system.
The software for the relay can be conceptually split into four elements; the real-time
operating system, the system services software, the platform software and the protection
and control software. These four elements are not distinguishable to the user, and are all
processed. The distinction between the four parts of the software is made purely for the
purpose of explanation here:
Control of interfaces to keypad,
LCD, LEDs, Front & Rear comm. ports
Sample data,
Logic inputs &
Outputs contacts
Measurements & event,
fault & disturbance records
Protection &

Real-time operating system
As explain in the hardware overview, each relay contains one main board. A real time
operating system is used to provide a framework for the different parts of the relay’s software
to operate within. To this end the software is split into tasks. The real-time operating system
is responsible for scheduling the processing of these tasks such that they are carried out in
the time available and in the desired order of priority.
The real-time operating system is responsible for scheduling the processing of these tasks
such that they are carried out in the time available and in the desired order of priority. The
operating system is also responsible for the exchange of information between tasks, in the
form of messages.
