Remote Operation – 4
Overview
When IPScom
®
is run, a menu and status bar is
displayed, as shown in Figure 4-3. This section
describes each IPScom menu selection and explains
each IPScom command in the same order as they
are displayed in the software program. For detailed
information on each dialog box field (function), refer
to Chapter 2, Application.
When starting IPScom, the initial menu choices are
the File menu or the Comm menu. The choice
specifies whether the operator desires to write to a
data file or to communicate directly with the relay.

The File menu enables the user to create a new
data file, open a previously created data file, close,
print, and save the file. The IPScom program can
also be exited through the File menu.
Since IPScom can be used with several Beckwith
protection systems in addition to the M-3425
Generator Protection Relay, the format and contents
of a file must be established depending on which
protective system is being addressed. When not
connected to one of the protection systems, using
the New command, a new file is established with
the New Device Profile dialog box (see Figure 4-4).
Choosing the OK command button allows the new
data file to be named by using the Save or Save
As...commands.

NOTE: By choosing the NEW command, unit
and setpoint configuration values are
based on factory settings specified for
the profiled protection system.

Returns you to the IPScom main window;
any changes to the displayed
information are lost.
The Save and Save As... commands allow re-
saving a file or renaming a file, respectively. The
Open command allows opening a previously created
data file. With an opened data file, use the Relay...
Setup... menu items to access the setpoint windows.
If communication can be established with a relay, it
is always safer to use the Read Data From Relay
command to update the PC’s data file with the relay
data. This file now contains the proper system type
information, eliminating the need to set the
information manually.
The Print and Printer Setup commands allow user
to select printer options and print out all setpoint
data from the data file or directly from the relay, if a
relay is communicating with the PC.
The Exit command quits the IPScom program.
