PROT_50_51
ANSI 50/51: a definite-time high set and an IEC 60255-151 inverse-time stage with a selectable reset characteristic.
When to use it
Use PROT_50_51 when a generator, incomer or feeder needs a two-stage overcurrent element — an inverse-time stage that grades with the devices downstream and a high-set stage that clears a close-in fault without waiting for the curve.

Supervised control write
PROT_50_51 commands a real actuator. It is written to sit underneath your own interlock, permissive and protection logic — not to replace it. Commission it as you would any control block you wrote yourself.

Create a free Ri Tech account to download the block. You get the Structured Text body, the Rockwell Add-On Instruction (.L5X), the Schneider Control Expert DFB (.XDB), PLCopen XML, the IEC 61499 function block type (.fbt) and the datasheet.
Every block in the catalogue is free to download, in every format, with no purchase and no card. Browsing needs no account at all; downloading needs a signed-in one, so the block lands in your library and re-downloads whenever you need it.
Source is never published on this page. The implementation is released to a signed-in Ri Tech account — free of charge, but never anonymously.
