Multilin SR489 relay for KATO generator protection

What are the features of the Multilin SR489 relay? And is there a need for an advanced generator protection AGP system to be installed beside?

The system consists of 6 CAT 3616 diesel engines spinning 6 4400KW, 11KV KATO Generators.

The AGP system is based on a Generator Protection PLC; that provides enhanced backup generator protection features beyond those available from the existing GE Multilin SR489 Generator Protection Relay, beside additional control and power management functions.

The PLC system is designed to identify critical control faults in the generator speed and voltage control systems that are not picked up through the typical generator protection scheme. On detection of such a fault the system will trip the generator before the fault results in a cascade failure and possible blackout or in the event that the fault can not be isolated to a single generator, the system will trip the Tie Breaker to provide bus to bus isolation and prevent further degradation of the condition from affecting both buses.
