Setpoint Entry
Prior to commissioning the 745 relay, setpoints defining transformer characteristics,
inputs, output relays, and protection settings must be entered, via one of the
following methods:
•
Front panel, using the keypad and display.
•
Front RS232 or rear terminal RS485/RS422 communication ports, and a
portable computer running the enerVista 745 Setup software or a SCADA
system running user-written software.
Any of these methods can be used to enter the same information. A computer,
however, makes entry much easier. Files can be stored and downloaded for fast,
error free entry when a computer is used. Settings files can be prepared and stored
on disk without the need to connect to a relay.
All setpoint messages are illustrated and described in blocks throughout this
chapter.
The 745 relay leaves the factory with setpoints programmed to default
values, and it is these values that are shown in all the setpoint message
illustrations.
Some of these factory default values can be left unchanged.
There are many 745 setpoints that must be entered for the relay to function
correctly. In order to safeguard against installation when these setpoints have not
been entered, the 745 does not allow signaling of any output relay. In addition, the

value is set to “Programmed”. This setpoint is defaulted
to Not Programmed when the relay leaves the factory. The

diagnostic message appears until the 745 is put in the
programmed state:
Messages may vary somewhat from those illustrated because of installed options.
Also, some messages associated with disabled features (or optional features which
have not been ordered) are hidden.
These messages are shown with a shaded
message box.

Keypad Entry
: See
on page 1–2 for details on maneuvering
through the messages, viewing actual values, and changing setpoints.
•
Computer Entry
: Setpoint values are grouped together on a screen in the
enerVista 745 Setup software. The data is organized in a system of menus. See
on page 4–7 for details.
•
SCADA Entry
: Details of the complete communication protocol for reading and
writing setpoints are given in Chapters 8 and 9. A programmable SCADA system
connected to the RS485/RS422 terminals can make use of communication
commands for remote setpoint programming, monitoring, and control.
Setpoint Write Access
The 745 design incorporates hardware and passcode security features to provide
protection against unauthorized setpoint changes.
A hardware jumper must be installed across the setpoint access terminals on the
back of the relay to program new setpoints using the front panel keys. When
setpoint programming is via a computer connected to the communication ports, no
setpoint access jumper is required.
Passcode protection may also be enabled. When enabled, the 745 requests a
numeric passcode before any setpoint can be entered. As an additional safety
measure, a minor self-test error is generated when the passcode is entered
incorrectly three times in a row.
