information

Alarms

Alarm list with following columns:

- 11 -

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

Events

- 12 -

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

Configuration can be
retrieved also from
ConPkg or SCL files

- 15 -

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

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

- 16 -

No busbar coloring

Freely configurable colors

Parameters setting

- 17 -

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
