Single line diagram

SLD uses one screen only Zoom in/out, Pan, Freeze

Two different voltage levels One voltage level in one row Automatic setting of default

scale Symbols for MV process

Local/Remote switch / bay / station

“All” MV apparatuses, ANSI and IEC style

Measurements Free text tags

Configurable colors, fonts, line styles

- 10

-

SLD Editor Tool

Configuration of IED is retrieved by means of a Connectivity Package, which can include also the Single-Line-Diagram Still it’s freely configurable Predefined set of IEC and

ANSI symbols

Simple and easy to use Guides You to do logically

relevant configuration

IEC 61850-6 (SCL) import/export of SLD information

- 11

-

Alarms

Alarm list with following columns: Date & Time Bay (from substation structure) Device (from substation structure) Object text (from d attribute of data) Status (from the event handling

definition for the data) Alarms are divided to two groups,

persisting and fleeting alarms based on current status of an alarm. Alarms can be acknowledged one by one as all of at once.

Filtering per bay, voltage level Filtering can be done automatically

from the substation structure tree Audio alarm supported for web

browsers

- 12

-

Events

Event list page with columns: Date & Time Bay (from substation structure) Device (from substation

structure) Object text (from d attribute of

data) Event (from the event handling

definition for the data

Filtering can be applied per bay, voltage level

Filtering can be done automatically from the substation structure tree

- 13

-

Control dialogs

handling Freely definable web-links

- 14

-

Measurements

All measurements available in IED can be displayed

Measurement display is configurable Scaling factor Texts Units Configuration can be

-

Disturbance record upload

The protection and control device generates disturbance records that can be uploaded from the HMI for further analysis.

Supported format is COMTRADE via IEC 61850-8-1

- 16

-

Busbar coloring

Busbar coloring needs no additional configuration!

4 different modes: Powered/Unpowered based

Different voltage level

Powered/Unpowered parts

Earthed part

Voltage level based Voltage source based

Incoming/Outgoing

No busbar coloring

Freely configurable colors

-

Parameters setting

Simple, but visual parameter setting tool Parameters coming from Conn.

Pkgs Visible parameters are to be

filtered on configuration phase

Changed parameters are indicated as bold

Configurable descriptions Features to ease the use and

avoid mistakes: Changed parameters bolded

after modifications Ranges, units are shown and

checked run-time

Multilanguage support

- 19

-

System diagnostics

Communication structure tree view shows quickly the health of secondary systems

Each object has mode detailed diagnostic information available

- 20

-

User Management

Four different type of users Viewer Operator Engineer Administrator

User management is done from Web HMI Add user Change Password Administration of existing users

For security reasons Default password has to be

changed Certain Password length is

required

- 21

-

… and more

Zoom in/out Ctrl +/-

Pan screen Alt + mouse

Several browser windows can used run in large/multi-monitor setups

Use browser features like Favorites to navigate to Your stations

And of course… Application can be accessed from anywhere

Fully web-based – real thin client

- 22

-

On-line diagnostics

Web server for diagnostic information

- 23

-

Other Features

Value manipulation facilities Linear and step-wise linear scales Inverting of signals

High performance on the gateway function – protocol mapping is done on the start-up phase, not on run-time

Proven protocol quality and interoperability SNTP time synchronization support (client and server)

Configuration Work Flow

Define project and it’s basic

settings

Create communication structure for

the station

Own IP addressUser management

Add protocols, communication lines, sub networks …Add IEDs, using ConPkg tools or Generic IEDs. Copy/paste “type” solution

Finalize substation structure

Add/modify substations, voltage levels, bays, if not retrieved from ConPkgs/SCL files. Finalize “type” solutions

Finalize single-line diagram

Fine-tune layout, connect bays to busbars, add descriptive texts, choose coloring, add extra objects, define power source.

Customize Alarm & Event

handling

Customize IED parameter

settings

Project specific event and alarm handling can be defined for any signal. Default handling can be modified/removed /new handling added

To keep HMI simple, a subset of available parameters can be selected to be shown

Configure NCC links

Add slave protocol lines, assign addresses. Review / finalize with NCC.

Upload configuration

Upload the configuration to the device. Ready!
