5-22 F60 Feeder Management Relay GE Multilin5.2 PRODUCT SETUP 5 SETTINGS5The relay supports one fast Ethernet Global Data (EGD) exchange and two slow EGD exchanges. There are 20 data itemsin the fast-produced EGD exchange and 50 data items in each slow-produced exchange.Ethernet Global Data (EGD) is a suite of protocols used for the real-time transfer of data for display and control purposes.The relay can be configured to ‘produce’ EGD data exchanges, and other devices can be configured to ‘consume’ EGDdata exchanges. The number of produced exchanges (up to three), the data items in each exchange (up to 50), and theexchange production rate can be configured.EGD cannot be used to transfer data between UR-series relays. The relay supports EGD production only. An EGDexchange will not be transmitted unless the destination address is non-zero, and at least the first data item address is set toa valid Modbus register address. Note that the default setting value of “0” is considered invalid.The settings menu for the fast EGD exchange is shown below:PATH: SETTINGS Ö PRODUCT SETUP ÖØ COMMUNICATIONS ÖØ EGD PROTOCOL Ö FAST PROD EXCH 1 CONFIGURATIONFast exchanges (50 to 1000 ms) are generally used in control schemes. The F60 has one fast exchange (Exchange 1) andtwo slow exchanges (Exchanges 2 and 3).The settings menu for the slow EGD exchanges is shown below:PATH: SETTINGS Ö PRODUCT SETUP ÖØ COMMUNICATIONS ÖØ EGD PROTOCOL Ö SLOW PROD EXCH 1(2) CONFIGURATIONSlow EGD exchanges (500 to 1000 ms) are generally used for the transfer and display of data items. The settings for thefast and slow exchanges are described below:• EXCH 1 DESTINATION: This setting specifies the destination IP address of the produced EGD exchange. This is usu-ally unicast or broadcast.• EXCH 1 DATA RATE: This setting specifies the rate at which this EGD exchange is transmitted. If the setting is 50 ms,the exchange data will be updated and sent once every 50 ms. If the setting is 1000 ms, the exchange data will beupdated and sent once per second. EGD exchange 1 has a setting range of 50 to 1000 ms. Exchanges 2 and 3 have asetting range of 500 to 1000 ms.
