Using Setpoints Files
The EnerVista 8 Series Setup software interface supports three ways of handling changes
to relay settings:
•
In off-line mode (relay disconnected) to create or edit relay settings files for later
download to communicating relays.
•
Directly modifying relay settings while connected to a communicating relay, then
saving the settings when complete.
•
Creating/editing settings files while connected to a communicating relay, then saving
them to the relay when complete.
Settings files are organized on the basis of file names assigned by the user. A settings file
contains data pertaining to the following types of relay settings:
•
Device Definition
•
Relay Setup
•
System Setup
•
Protection
•
Control
•
Inputs/Outputs
•
Monitoring
•
FlexLogic
•
Quick setup
•
Protection summary
•
IEC 61850 configurator
•
Modbus user map
Factory default values are supplied and can be restored after any changes.
The 850 displays relay setpoints with the same hierarchy as the front panel display.
Downloading & Saving
Setpoints Files
Back up a copy of the in-service settings for each commissioned unit, so as to revert to the
commissioned settings after inadvertent, unauthorized, or temporary setting changes are
made, after the settings default due to firmware upgrade, or when the unit has to be
replaced. This section describes how to backup settings to a file and how to use that file to
restore settings to the original relay or to a replacement relay.
Setpoints must be saved to a file on the local PC before performing any firmware
upgrades. Saving setpoints is also highly recommended before making any setpoint
changes or creating new setpoint files.
The setpoint files in the EnerVista 8 Series Setup window are accessed in the Files Window.
Use the following procedure to download and save setpoint files to a local PC.
1.
Ensure that the site and corresponding device(s) have been properly defined and
configured as shown in
Connecting EnerVista 8 Series Setup to the Relay
, above.
2.
Select the desired device from the site list.
3.
Select the
Read Device Settings
from the online menu item, or right-click on the
device and select
Read Device Settings
to obtain settings information from the
device.
4.
After a few seconds of data retrieval, the software requests the name and destination
path of the setpoint file. The corresponding file extension is automatically assigned.
Press
Receive
to complete the process. A new entry is added to the tree, in the File
pane, showing path and file name for the setpoint file.
