Offline Configuration
Device Setup
In the device setup edit window, users can set device information, configure hardware module, system level options and function groups respectively.
Device Information
All the device basic information are default settings in the selected driver package for creating the device. Basic information such as Project Name, User File Version and User Modify Time can be modified.
Hardware Configuration
The hardware configuration page is subject to the project configuration situation. Hardware configuration includes the information on slot number, module name, module type and module description.
Market Ordering Table (MOT) Configuration
In MOT configuration interface, users can select the program language, the communication protocol, the software version and hardware etc. The MOT configuration can be export into an Excel file.
Function Configuration
Users can perform function configuration in function configuration interface. For detailed device function configuration, please refer to corresponding device manual.
Function Group Configuration
Function group configuration can enable or disable different functions in the device
Signal Grouping (Signal Setup)
The signal grouping function can redefine some user signal names. Currently, only the UserDefine group can be edited.
LCD Configuration (LCD Config)
Basic settings
PCS series devices have 2 types of LCD resolution: 320×240 and 240×128. This parameter is preset and requires no further change.
LCD graph import
PCS-Explorer can import an existed LCD graph into the current project.
LCD toolbar
When clicking on the LCD main interface node, a graph toolbar will appear on top of the editing window. The user may edit and modify graphs according to the project’s requirements.
Shortcut key configuration
The device’s seven function keys on the LCD panel, “▲”, “▼”, “◄”, “►”, “ ＋ ”, “ － ” and “ENT”, can be configured as function shortcut keys by PCS-Explorer. By pressing shortcut key, the corresponding extended command can be executed quickly to fulfill some control or operation.
IEC61850 Configuration
Parameters related to IEC61850 communication will be displayed in the IEC61850 edit window. The edit window has three sub-windows, which are IED, access point and LDevice. Users can modify the properties of IEC61850 communications such as names of access point and LDevice in different sub-windows.
User Configuration Import
Import User Configurations function can import driver file from other driver file (offline ways) or from a running device (online ways) to update current driver file.
Import may change device configurations, but not affect the internal fixed configurations. Normally, when the user has several identical devices or multiple devices with similar functions, Import function can be used to import the configured information from other devices.
Upgrade to New Driver
Upgrade to New Driver function is an operation on the currently configured device, which use driver file from other driver file (offline ways) or from a running device (online ways) to upgrade current driver file.
Upgrade to New Driver does not change current configurations. It only upgrades internal fixed configurations of the device. Once the internal fixed configurations have been upgraded, please upgrade configurations of the current device using Upgrade function.
DNP 3.0 Protocol Configuration
If the device supports DNP 3.0 protocol, PCS-Explorer can be used to configure communication information map based on DNP 3.0 protocol. DNP communication information file can be exported, imported, downloaded or uploaded.
RIO File Export
PCS-Explorer can export RIO (Relay data Interchange format by Omicron) from offline configuration or online device to be used by OMICRON Tester (Currently only the RIO file of distance protection function of PCS-902 and PCS-931 can be exported).
Multi-user Authority Management
PCS-Explorer can set different operation authority for different user by configuring user information, including user name, password and operation authority.
User Level HMI Configuration
User level HMI configuration supports configuring two groups of analog quantity, status quantity group and user level settings group, it can select the new added logic programmed output variable to be configured to binary state change reports, self-check reports and binary quantity waveforms.
Communication Information Export
All the IEC61850 dataset signals and remote control signals can be exported, the DNP communication information map signals can also be exported
