About the UR-9GH
General Electric Multilin’s UR-9GH provides firmware that enables and governs the protective features of the relay, offering control algorithms, logic frameworks, and more. This module can be installed in any of the Universal Relays units and is a necessary component for relay functionality.
In addition to these mechanisms, the related software endows the relay with elements such as Ethernet networking, Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP), and IEEE 1588.
-
Ethernet: The Ethernet offered by some of Multilin’s CPU modules allows remote connection to the Universal Relay from a computer running the EnerVista UR software. Detailed instructions for Ethernet setup and testing are provided in Multilin’s various UR user manuals.
-
Parallel Redundancy Protocol: This option is supported by the Ethernet port but must be specified as a module option during purchase. PRP provides seamless recovery in the event of network failure by employing both LAN duplication and frame duplication.
-
IEEE 1588: This element offers a consistent, reliable method of keeping time reference between devices on an Ethernet network. The clock synchronization protocol allows devices to precisely synchronize communications to an accuracy of one microsecond.
While not all models offer all three elements, each module provides one or some combination of these features; users should investigate the user manual appropriate to their unit to understand what each module provides.
