This manual is intended for qualified personnel. You must be able to program
and operate a Bulletin 857 or 865 medium voltage motor protection relay. In
addition, you must have an understanding of the parameter settings and
functions.
What Is Needed to Use SetPointPS runs on a PC with a Windows operating system. The SetPointPS
software can be dowloaded for free at www.ab.com. SetPointPS connects to the
SetPointPS Bulletin 857 and 865 via the front local port using a special serial
communications cable (part no. 857-VX003-3). Cable schematics are in the
857 relay user manual, publication 857-UM001. A USB to serial adapter can
also be used if a dedicated serial port is not available on your computer. The
recommended adapter is a Rockwell Automation 9300-USBS or equivalent.
Relay Setting Files SetPointPS handles the relay settings as documents, (*.vef file extension). A
SetPointPS document file stores information about the device settings, events,
and fault logs. A new file is created when the device is connected and settings
are read from the device. Documents can be saved to a disk. The file can later
be used to:
• change the settings offline. The SetPointPS file tracks changes that are
made offline. Once SetPointPS is connected to the device, all changes
can be transmitted to the device at once.
• copy or transfer settings to another device
• store a copy of the setting files when devices are commissioned and when
they are reconfigured.
SetPointPS interacts with all Rockwell Automation Bulletin 857 and 865
Protection Relays.
Version The latest SetPointPS version can be downloaded from Rockwell Automation
website, www.rockwellautomation.com

Notes:
Settings Menu
If a serial port is used with the 857-VX003-3 programming cable, the port
configuration and speed must be defined. The default communications speed
is 38400 bps, however this can be changed in the SetPointPS software. The
relay default communications speed for the front port is 34800 bps. The
default port is COM1, but this varies between different computer hardware
configurations. Some of the available speeds may not be supported by all serial
ports or USB to serial converters. Consult the manual of your serial port
product for further information.
TIP Default communications speed in the relay must match the setting within
SetPointPS.
By selecting “Take address from Document Files”, you can force SetPointPS to
read the address automatically when a previously saved setting-file is opened.
See 857 Protection System for Feeder and Motor Protection, Series A, user
manual, publication 857-UM001, for details on configuring the EtherNet/IP
communications interface. The network IP address must match the IP address
configured in the device
Fast reading mode increases the speed of the communication, but this can be
disabled if the communications pathway is unreliable.
Changing some of the parameters causes the relay to recalculate some other
related parameters. By default, SetPointPS refreshes the view when changes
have been made. This feature can be also disabled, if necessary.
These settings relate to how the SetPointPS software and the Bulletin 857 or
Bulletin 865 relays interact. It is recommended to keep the default settings.

• This setting changes the axes of the PQ-diagram.
Log Files
The file path of the different kinds of logging states is enabled by checking the
appropriate box. The file paths can be entered directly into the text boxes or
selected by using the Browse buttons.
IMPORTANT The path and folder must already exist within your Windows directory tree
or the log is not created. Double-check the file folders exist.
If the file does not exist, a new undefined file is created automatically. Log files
are ASCII text so they can be opened using any text editor, for example,
Windows Notepad.
Events log Event logs are appended when events are read from the device.
Changes log Changes logs are updated every time that any parameter is changed in SetPointPS and
saved/sent to the relay.
Device Library
This section allows for specific indication of the location of the primary
SetPointPS program (root directory) and an associated location where the
software can save specific relay data (backup directory). The root directory and
the backup directory must be mapped. Do not map the root directory to the
file location where the SetPointPS executable file (setpointps.exe) resides.
The backup directory location is a file location where data from the relay can be
stored temporarily. A backup directory must be mapped if any firmware
updates to the relay are made. All database files within the relay are stored
temporarily in this location and then recovered and reloaded back into the
relay. Failure to map a backup directory can cause a firmware update to fail
prematurely.
IMPORTANT The path and folder must already exist within your Windows directory tree
or the log is not created. Double-check the file folders exist.
If the file does not exist, a new undefined file is created automatically. Log files
are ASCII text so they can be opened using any text editor, for example,
Windows Notepad.
Default Passwords
Read/Write Settings
The write settings parameter controls when any changes you make are
transferred to the relay. Check Write changes automatically after change
(WAC) to transfer any change into the settings within the relay. The
recommended condition is disabled to prevent accidental parameter changes
within the relay.
Notes:
Communication Menu
Many of these commands are also using the control tabs on SetPointPS tool
bar. SetPointPS toolbar commands are defined on page 26.
The Connect Device command causes SetPointPS to read ALL the available
menus and parameters from the relay reads. Reading the full menu structure
might take some time if using slower communication rates.
The menu has one additional command that can connect to the relay “Quick
connect”. This command connects and reads only the menu structure and
device info data. Push F11 on your keyboard to initiate the Quick connect
command. The remaining parameters are read from the relay on demand only.
IMPORTANT Do not use the quick connect command for creating backups of settings
files. Only the menu parameters that you have viewed are retained. Use the
F5 command (or Connect button) to download ALL settings from the relay,
and save the parameters in the relay. Only use the quick connect feature for
quick interrogation of specific menus and parameters within the relay.
Update Firmware
This command is used only when the relay firmware must be updated. The
firmware file is only available from Rockwell Automation upon request and it
will be sent to you after Rockwell Automation has confirmed the need for a
firmware update. Updating of the firmware is necessary only if recommended
by Rockwell Automation to correct an anomaly.
Update Language
With this command, the relays language set can be updated to use other
languages. The default language is English. Other languages files are available
from Rockwell Automation.
1. Verify that you are using the latest SetPointPS program from the
Rockwell Automation website.
2. Copy all given files to your hard disk to a place you can find them easily.
3. Connect the 857-VX003-3 cable between the PC and front port of the
relay.
IMPORTANT Language file updates are not supported using the Ethernet port.
8. Do not disconnect the power supply from the relay. When the language
update is complete, this will show in the final row of the update dialog.
9. Close the dialog window and SetPointPS.
10. Navigate to the LANGUAGE window. The window now shows the
default language and the language which was uploaded to the relay.
12. Press ENTER and give the Configurator password (default 2).
14. Select the desired language and press enter. The relay language changes
to the new selection in 10…20 seconds.
These commands are not used by the average relay user. These commands are
only needed for special troubleshooting situations and their usage shall be by a
Rockwell Automation customer support engineer, when required.
Run Script File. These selections are needed only in special cases. The procedure is similar to the
Update Boot Code and firmware and language updates and the usage is advised by Rockwell Automation
Restore Device DB support when necessary.
Read All DB Texts from With this command SetPointPS reads the database of the relay into a text file. This
device command is used for creating language files for the relay.
Terminal This command opens a terminal window that is used to interface with the relay by
using the Get/Set-protocol. The usage of the terminal method is only advised by
Rockwell Automation support when necessary.

Passwords Access to the Bulletin 857 and 865 parameters is divided into 3 levels:
• User (no password needed)
• Operator (default password is 1)
• Configurator (default password is 2)
The SetPointPS document file remembers the access level that is given when
the settings are initially read from the device. For example, if the document file
has been created with a User access level, it cannot be changed later to
configurator level. See publications 857-UM001 or 865-UM001.
After a few moments, SetPointPS asks for the access level. If the password field
is left empty, SetPointPS tries to use a default password.
All Rockwell Automation Bulletin 857 and 865 products use the following
default passwords:
• Configurator: 2 (can be entered as 0002)
• Operator: 1 (can be entered as 0001)
• User: no password is required
Load a Document
The destination device can be the same one that was used when the file was
created, or any other device of the same type with a similar firmware level. This
makes it easy to configure several devices with the same settings.
IMPORTANT The settings files are firmware version dependent. You can upload a settings
file used in a relay with an older version of firmware to a relay that has a
newer firmware version, but not vice versa.
IMPORTANT The specifics that are related to each connected load (full load current, CT
ratios, and so forth) must still be modified.
Notes:
Setting Groups
The device settings are divided into several groups. There are different groups
for every protection stage, communication protocol, analog output and so on.
Most of the setting groups are of the basic type, which only contains a list of
parameters. There are also some special groups like Matrix and PQ-diagram.
This chapter gives a short description of some of the different kinds of setting
groups.
Device Information
Device info contains general information about the device. The device can be
individualized by setting the location information and by giving a special name
to it. Calibration information and the firmware version are also stored in this
group. The last parameter can be used for changing the access level in use.
This group shows the phasor angles for different analog measurements. The
amplitudes are relative to the maximum of all phasors or to a calculated mean
value. Some of the angle diagrams have a settable maximum value for the
amplitude and all phasors are drawn relative to that setting.
Event Buffer
The event buffer is used for saving and viewing all activated and deactivated
stages and events that the relay has captured. The event buffer can store several
hundred events. The maximum capacity of the event buffer varies between
devices and is configurable. See publications 857-UM001 or 865-UM001 for
further information on configuring the size of this buffer.
The oldest event is at the top of the list; the newest at the bottom. When the
buffer is full the oldest events are discarded when new ones are created.
With the ‘Local panel display’ you can remotely control the relay and input
front panel commands just as they would by using the physical HMI on the
relay.
Click any of the operator push buttons to mimic the physical depression of the
push buttons on the face of the relay.
There are several different settings groups under the Matrix command,
including Output Matrix, Block Matrix, External Digital Output Matrix, and
Object Block Matrix.
By using the Output Matrix, the output signals of the various protection stages,
digital inputs, logic outputs, and other internal signals can be electronically
connected to the output relays, front panel indicators, virtual outputs, and the
Disturbance Recorder.
The Alarm and Trip status indicators on the front panel and the three general-
purpose status indicators ("A", "B", and "C") are available for customer-specific
indications. The output matrix can also be configured to trigger the
disturbance recorder (DR) and four virtual outputs.
The output matrix can be viewed by selecting it from the group list or by
pressing . This matrix has two kinds of connections:
Block Matrix
The Block Matrix group inhibits protection stages from operating by using
input signals from other protection stages, digital inputs, and arc sensors. Input
signals are on the left side and protection stages to be blocked are displayed on
the top.
This group is used for configuring the disturbance recorder. See Changing the
Disturbance Recorder Settings on page 65 for a more detailed description
about the settings of disturbance recorder.
Red
• Parameter value has been changed in the SetPointPS software but not
downloaded to the device
Black
• Parameter value in SetPointPS matches the setting in the relay
Change Parameter Values Click the left mouse button on the value that must be changed. When the text
input box appears, use the keyboard to type a new value and press enter. The
valid setting range is displayed at the bottom left corner of the main window.
If the typed value is out of permitted the range, SetPointPS will give a warning
after transmitting changes to the device and the illegal value is replaced by
current device value.
Some of the parameters have a fixed set of values that can be chosen from a
pull-down menu.
Some parameter changes require the relay to restart to become valid. When
such a parameter has been changed and transferred to the device, the following
dialog appears:
Boot Now
• SetPointPS sends a restart command to the device immediately.
Boot Later
• The dialog box closes without restarting the device.
• Latest changes that need restarting are not taken into account.
Remote port, Local port, and Extension port protocols are changed in the
Protocol Configuration group. This group also contains message and error
counters for the selected protocol and ports. See publications 857-UM001 and
865-UM001 for a description of protocol usage. Available protocols are
EtherNet/IP, ModBus, ModBus TCP/IP, SPA-Bus, PROFIBUS, IEC-103,
External I/O, DNP3, ANSI85 and IEC-61850.

The first three settings in the Modbus MAIN CONFIGURATION group are
used in both Modbus Master and Modbus Slave protocols. In Modbus master
mode, the slave address is the destination address and in slave mode, the slave
address is the device address. Setting range for bit rate is 1200…19200 bps.
Enable
• Enables/disables item (Modbus master only).
Address
• Modbus holding register address (Modbus master only).
Deadband
• If item value has changed more than the deadband setting, it will be sent
to the slave (Modbus master only).
Scaling
• Settable scaling points x1, x2, y1, y2.
This image shows an example of deadband and scaling settings. Frequency has
a deadband of 40 MHz and scaling divides the values by 10. Scaling is needed
for frequency, because Modbus handles 16-bit signed integer values only
(between -32768 and +32767).
For example, if the frequency is 60000 Hz, the raw value is 60000 which
doesn’t fit into the permitted range. Dividing the raw value by 10 gives 6000,
which is within the permitted range (for 50000 Hz, the raw value is 50000.
Dividing the raw value by 10 gives 5000, which is within the permitted range.)
Modbus Slave protocol has its own item list with fixed holding register
addresses. See the appropriate device manual for a list of Modbus Slave items
and addresses.
PROFIBUS Settings
On/Off
• Enables/disables item
• Continuous mode only
Offset
• Address for item
• Continuous mode only
Scaling
• Settable scaling points x1, x2, y1, y2
• Works the same way as Modbus scaling.
See Modbus Settings on page 41.
In request mode, all items are enabled and they have fixed offsets. See the
device manual for a list of request mode items.
This setting restricts measurement sending. The next measurement is not sent
until the time interval has elapsed since last sending. During this time, the
device responses to a class-2 poll by sending a ‘data not available’ message.
Data Configuration
Data configuration is divided into Digital and Analog sections. Any line can be
changed or removed and new lines can be added to both sections.
Digital Configuration
D3 - Select an item, define FUN and INF and select some of the available
functions (GI/Event/Control). Availability of functions depends on the
selected item.
Function Description
GI Item is included in general Interrogation
Event Class 1 events are generated. Remember also enable corresponding events on event mask groups.
See “Enabling Events” for information on how to enable events.
Control Item can be controlled via master
Analog Configuration
A3 - Select ASDU type and define FUN and INF. Finally select measurements.
Notice that ASDU 4 has its own set of available measurements. To use
ASDU 4 measurement, first select the ASDU 4 and after that select a
measurement.
The 857-RAA and 857-RAD remote RTD Scanner options require specific
protocol configurations. See publication 857-UM002 for complete details on
the appropriate protocol settings.
Different events can be activated on the EVENT MASK groups. There are two
different types of event selection available. For the protection stages, each have
four individual events that can be enabled; start on, start off, trip on, and trip off.
All other events are of binary-type; they can be only enabled or disabled.
Before events can be read from the device, the EVENT BUFFER group must
be selected from the group list.
IMPORTANT SetPointPS can only read new events (which have not been read by
SetPointPS earlier) from the device. Once the events have been transferred
from the device, it’s not possible to read those particular events again and
thus it is important to save the SetPointPS setting file.
Saving to Disk
Events and fault logs are saved with the SetPointPS file extension (.vf2).
Events can be saved into a log file, which is updated automatically after reading
events from the device. Event logs are plain ASCII files thus they can be
opened with any text editor like Windows Notepad. See page 13 for
information on how to enable event logging.
Clearing Events
TIP This DOES NOT clear event from the relay, only from the SetPointPS
document.
Most of the protection stages also have their own fault logs. To read a fault log
from the device, select the appropriate protection stage screen from the group
list.
Fault logs are read the same way as the events, by pressing or keeping
Continuous updating enabled. Continuous updating can be enabled by
pressing and disabled by pressing .
Mimic Editor The Mimic editor group is used for creating and editing mimic display of the
relay local panel.
To show the mimic editor, select MIMIC group from the group list.
Follow these steps to select your desired measurands and status indicators.
Depending on the device model, the local panel mimic display can contain
some virtual status indicators.
• Auto-reclose ON/OFF
• Remote/Local switch
• Virtual outputs
Delete Button
This may be necessary based on the selection of other screen display options
and their default locations.
The status of the four virtual inputs can be monitored on the front display as
well. The status for each individual virtual input can be independently selected
and displayed by clicking on the appropriate location.
Location Information
Location information is displayed in the top of the display. This is the same
setting as Sublocation on Device Info group and is also displayed on the
caption view of SetPointPS.

1. Click a function.
2. Press the Delete button.
The logic changes must be downloaded to the device before they become
active. Logic configurations are sent to the device by pressing or selecting
from the Communication menu: Write Changed Settings to Device. This forces
the relay to restart.
Transfer can be confirmed by selecting Device Info from the group list and
then pressing . Now the device time and date is the same as PCs.
After all settings have been compared, a new group will be added to the group
list and set visible. This group shows the comparison result of the differences.
The results of the comparison are also saved with the SetPointPS document.
Generating a SerCom-File SerCom is a communication program, which writes parameters to the device
via serial port. SerCom is a DOS program, so it works only under MS DOS
and Windows 95 MS-DOS Prompt. The SerCom file can write calibration
data to the device during production test. This feature is not for general use. It
should be used only under the direction of a Rockwell Automation Service and
Support Engineer. The explanation is for information purposes only.
2. Press . Return to Step 1 until all required groups have been selected.
Selected groups have a little dot before their names in the group list.
Main Window All Allen-Bradley 857 and 865 relays include a built-in Disturbance Recorder
(DR) for evaluating all measured signals, including currents, voltages, and the
status information of the digital inputs (DI) and digital outputs (DO). The
digital inputs include arc protection signals S1, S2, BI, and BO, if the optional
arc protection is configured.

The following parts assume that you have a basic knowledge of setting the
device via SetPointPS. See Mimic Editor on page 49 before continuing.
Before making any DR settings, the device must be connected via SetPointPS.
Otherwise it’s not possible to select channels or sampling time correctly. It’s
also recommended that Settings/Program Settings/Write changes
automatically after change is enabled for making the channel selection easier.
All device settings, except the trigger source selection, are made in the
Disturbance Record group. See page 35 for disturbance recorder trigger source
selection. Select the group from the group list.
Saturated
• All buffers are recorded once. If there are no empty buffers, the
recording freezes.
Overflow
• If new triggering occurs and there are no empty buffers, the oldest buffer
will be overwritten
Rockwell Automation 857 and 865 devices can do two different types of
sampling. The sampling type is dependent on the sampling rate setting as
shown in the following table.
Sampling Type Sampling Rate Sampling Source
Analog Digital
Waveform 32 / cycle
16 / cycle ADC samples Instant
8 / cycle
Amplitude 1 / 10 ms
20 ms mean
1 / 20 ms
1 / 200 ms 200 ms mean
1/1s
1/5s Instant
1 / 10 s 1 s mean
1 / 15 s
1 / 30 s
1 / 1 min 1 min mean
Selectable sampling rates can vary between different devices and firmware
versions.
IMPORTANT Changing the sampling rate will clear the record buffers.
Time setting defines the recording time. The setting cannot be more than the
MAX time that is displayed in gray color in the Disturbance Record group.
MAX time is total available time for all records. The following table shows the
relationship between time settings and MAX time:
Time (Less or Equal) Number of Records Overflow Mode
Saturated Mode
1/5 MAX time 5 9
1/4 MAX time 4 7
MAX time 3 5
1/2 MAX time 2 3
MAX time 1 1
Maximum number of records is 12. Even if the time setting is 1/6 MAX time
the number of available records remains at 12.
Recorder Controls
Trigger Settings
Pre Trigger Rate defines how many samples are recorded before the trig. If Pre
Trigger Rate is 50% and Time is 0.50 s, the device will record 0.25 s before
and 0.25 s after the trig.
Trigger source is selected on Output Matrix group. Select one or more of the
elements that are listed down the left side of the Output Matrix display. Click
the intersection point of the DR vertical axis and the required element.
Evaluating Disturbance SetPointPS stores the disturbance records to disk in COMTRADE format
(revision year 1999). Data files are saved in ASCII format (binary format is not
Recordings supported).
Disturbance Record/Read from device or Read any from device or Read all
from device depending on the desired operation.
After the reading is ready, the record must be saved and cleared from the
device. If Disturbance Record/Read all from device is selected, SetPointPS
reads all records from the relay one-by-one and will ask after each finished read
record to save the COMTRADE file to disk. Click Save As on the
Disturbance Record menu bar item. You can save or discard the read file.
The upper view has six displays and the left scroll bar position is two, which
results in three pages and two upper view displays per page. The lower view on
paper looks the same as on screen and is printed on every page.

SetPointPS can calculate RMS and Average values and show min & max from
recorded samples. Calculations are based on samples between the first and last
sample or between two cursors, if they exist.
The views will look the same as after opening the record from a disk or after
reading the record from device:
• analog channels are in the upper view
• digital channels are in the lower view
• all cursors are removed
• amplitudes are zoomed to fit in the display
• time is zoomed to show all record
Troubleshooting Communication
Configurations
There are few things that can be checked and verified if there are any problems
in communication between 857/865 relays and your PC running SetPointPS.
Check for Current Version of The SetPointPS version is checked from the command section.
SetPointPS Click Help>About.
If you haven’t set the configurators password, the following text appears:
1. Press info .
2. Press Enter .
Set configurators password by using Right and UP arrow buttons. The factory
default password is 0002 for the Configurator level of access (0001 is for the
Operator level).
3. Press Enter .
Communication Port
If there are numerous communications channels shown and you don’t know
which the right one is, disconnect the cable from the PC and open the
Communication settings again and check which COM port disappeared from
the menu.
Alternatively,
The drivers for any USB-Serial adapter must also be up to date. Update the
drivers using the device manager. You must be connected to the internet.
IMPORTANT If an incorrect password is tried more than three times, the relay restricts
access for 30 minutes or you will need to restart the relay.
Error Messages An error “File is incompatible with the device. Cannot connect...” message
could appear when connecting to the relay or when downloading a settings file
to a relay.
Notes:
Initialize Virtual Virtual measurement functionality is available on 857 and 865 relays with
firmware version 10.96 or later. The Virtual Measurement tool makes it
Measurement Function possible to inject simulated currents and voltages, including 2nd, 3rd, and 5th
harmonic content, into the relay. This tool permits a simple testing method of
the protection settings within the relay without an external secondary injection
testing device. This function validates the protection settings within the relay
without applying power to the load. You must have a relay connected using the
SetPointPS software to use this tool.
The length of the virtual measurement depends on the frequency used and the
number of cycles. If the frequency is 60 Hz and the number of cycles is set at
300, the injected length of the virtual signals is 300/60=5 seconds
Create and Inject Profiles The tool permits one current/voltage injection sequence or it permits the
creation of up to five current/voltage profiles. To create a sequence, open
and Sequences another sequence window by clicking on one of the 5 tabs and add a value
greater than zero to the Cycles field. Launch the by pressing the Run sequence
button. There will be no delay between the sequence windows. You can also
repeat a sequence without any extra delay by entering the number of sequences
in the Repeats area.
Profile/Sequence Tabs
Run a sequence of
profiles to be
repeated as indicated
Virtual COMTRADE Files Virtual COMTRADE files can be loaded into the device that is exercised
under the conditions that are contained in the COMTRADE file. The relay
behavior is analyzed by playing the recorder data repeatedly in the relay
memory.
IMPORTANT This is not applicable to the arc protection functions of the device.
A
B
TIP The sample rate of the COMTRADE file must be 32 samples/cycle. The
channel names must correspond to the channel names in 857 and 865
relays: IL1, IL2, IL3, Io1, Io2, U12, U23, UL1, UL2, UL3 and Uo.
Evaluation This disturbance recording has been read from the relay. The default display
shows the recording, so all the signals are in separate graphs.
The view is arranged for analyzing, so the currents and voltages are displayed in
separate own graphs by following procedure:
TIP Use the zoom buttons to enlarge desired areas of the graph.
The signal list for the disturbance recording is displayed on the left side
of the window.
For the waveform data, SetPointPS can show the phase vectors within the
cursors.
2. Press to clear the view and plot currents and voltages to their own
graphs .
Voltage Signal UB
In this example, voltage signal UB has been selected as the phasor display
reference, and the signal curve is shown as bold in the upper graph. To change
the reference to another signal, double-click another curve.
Phasors in the graphs shows vector relationships to the same selected reference.
By moving the cursors in the recording, the phasors change according to the
measurement data.
