3 X XX XX Introduction Presentation The SFT2821 software program for PC is a tool used to set up and commission Sepam It runs on PC type microcomputers in Windows 95/98 or Windows NT 32-bit environments. The SFT2821 software dialogues with Sepam 2000 via the terminal link, normally intended to accommodate the TSM2001 pocket terminal or its SFT2801 emulation. The PC is connected to the front panel of Sepam 2000 by means of the ACE 900 connection kit. ACE 900 connection kit microcomputer with SFT2821 software Sepam 2000 Functions The SFT2821 software performs the following functions: downloading (DownLoad PC Sepam 2000) of Sepam 2000 settings from a particular setting file or a default setting file, uploading (UpLoad Sepam 2000 PC) of Sepam 2000 settings into a file, display and modification of Sepam 2000 setting files, printing of the Sepam 2000 setting file, comparison of the contents of two setting files. choice of the operating language (French, English, Italian, Spanish) and the communication port, used by the SFT2821 software, choice of the PC communication port, used to dialogue with Sepam Setting files Sepam 2000 Creation, display, modification Printing of setting folder Downloading Uploading SFT2821 Printer SFT Installation - Use EN-A0 3

4 Introduction Required set-up The minimum hardware set-up required to run the SFT2821 software is as follows: PC compatible microcomputer: Pentium type 133 MHz 32 Mb Ram (minimum) graphic display (EGA, VGA, Super VGA), minimum resolution 800 by 600 pixels, a 3"½ diskette drive (1.44 Mb) a hard disk (4 Mb available) an available RS232 communication port (COM1, COM2, COM3 or COM4) system: Windows 95 (version 708 or later version) or Windows 98 or Windows NT 4.0 version 1382 with pack 3 or later version and rights to modify Window NT system files. a printer (optional) SFT Installation - Use EN-A0 4

5 Introduction Notion of function sheet In order to commission Sepam 2000, settings are entered via the PC computer and then sent to the Sepam There are three categories of settings or parameters for Sepam Each category of settings is split into functions. The SFT2821 software presents each function in the form of a function sheet. The 3 categories of settings are: "status" parameters, for example: Phase CT E/F sensor, VT ratio Communication... "program logic" settings and parameters. The settings and parameters are grouped together in two data sheets: Timer Parameters "protections" settings. These settings are grouped together in several function sheets marked F01 to F99. There may be one or more protection sheet relays. Each relay is covered by a tab. Each tab is marked Fxxy in which xx is the function number and the relay number. For example: F014: relay 4 of sheet F01 F181: Sheet 18 (there is only one relay for this function) In the rest of the document, the expression "function sheet" may relate to "Status", "Program Logic" or "Protection". SFT Installation - Use EN-A0 5

6 Introduction Cartridge reference The presence of the "status" parameters and the protection function settings depend on the hardware set-up of the Sepam Parameters that are modified by the user are logged in setting files in a user-chosen directory, selected at the time the data are saved. The user chooses the location and name of the setting file. The setting file suffix is mandatory and is forced to ".rgl". The Setting directory is the default directory proposed to users when they save file settings on their disks. During such save operations, users may: select another directory, subdivide the directory into sub-directories according to hardware set-ups When a new setting file is entered, the SFT2821 software proposes the selection of a reference from a list of Sepam 2000 cartridge references. When a new setting file is entered, the parameters of the different sheets and relays are defined with the application s default parameters. They are not used by Sepam The list of cartridge references recognized by the software is frozen. However, there are cartridge references, noted "4xxZ00" or "6xxZ00", for which all of the protection sheets are defined with a maximum number of relays. This allows users to prepare the setting files of customized Sepam 2000 units. Conditions for use The format of setting files, as well as the format of the file containing the list of cartridges, are proprietary formats. These files therefore cannot be used outside the SFT2821 software. The PC supporting the SFT2821 software is physically connected to the Sepam 2000 using the ACE900 connection kit presently delivered with the SFT2801 terminal emulation software. The SFT2821 software only operates with Sepam 2000 compatible applications, i.e. Sepam 2000 S26 and Sepam 2000 S36 applications later than 99xx. It does not operate with earlier applications, or with Sepam 2000 S46 applications. Any attempt to use SFT2821 with a non-compatible application is indicated and does not disturb the application.

7 ACE 900 connection kit Kit components Connection The ACE 900 connection kit delivered with the SFT2821 software consists of: 1 Sepam 2000/ RS232 interface box, 1 PC / interface serial connection cord. The interface should be plugged into the inlet on the front panel of Sepam 2000, behind the small flap door. The other end is connected to the COM 1, COM 2, COM3 or COM4 communication port (whichever was selected at the time of installation) on the PC. The communication port is chosen via a configuration menu. Sepam 2000 front panel Interface to be plugged into terminal connector It is mandatory for the ACE 900 connection kit supplied in the SFT2821 kit to be used to connect the PC and Sepam The use of any other cord, or the absence of the interface, could cause Sepam 2000 operating difficulties.

8 Graphical interface General layout The SFT2821 software is of the SDI (Single Document Interface) type, which means that is only possible to open one setting file at a time. It is possible to start up the software several times, with the program being executed in different Windows windows. This makes it possible to consult different setting files in parallel. The SFT2821 software has a standard Windows application window, consisting of: a title bar which includes the usual buttons (system menu, shrink, expand, close). This bar indicates the name of the application (here SFT2821) which is to be completed by the name of the active setting file (here 4LSW05), if there is one, and the type of sheet in progress (here "status" type). a menu bar described further on; a toolbar described further on; a work area containing the function sheets described further on. The screen design is based on a minimum screen resolution of 800x600 points. The SFT2821 application is intended for customers in various countries. The data displayed in the screen are in the language chosen by the user. SFT Installation - Use EN-A0 8

9 Graphical interface Activating a screen object Screen objects may be activated in three ways: using the mouse, by clicking the right button on the required object (button, list...), using the PC keyboard, by pressing the following combination of keys ("Alt" and the letter underlined in the screen). For example, to activate the button, the user presses the Alt key and the OK" key simultaneously. using the keyboard shortcuts for the menus. The keyboard shortcut is indicated in the screen when the menu is selected. For example, the New function may be accessed by pressing keys "Ctrl" + "N". Behavior Upon activation, and then during operation, the items in the menu and toolbar that are not available are disabled (dimmed). The same applies, generally speaking, to all the checks used by the application, in particular those of the function sheets. The SFT2821 software complies with the usual operating rules for Windows applications, which are not described in detail here. If need be, readers should refer to the documentation that comes with their computers. SFT Installation - Use EN-A0 9

10 Commissioning Activating the application In the Windows program manager, "double-click" on the SFT2821 icon. The window below is displayed in the center of the screen. Menu bar After the message is acknowledged by the user by pressing the "OK" button, the main screen of the SFT2821 software is displayed. This screen corresponds to the standard application window, in which the work area is empty. Access is gained to the different functions of the SFT2821 software by means of the menu bar. The meaning of the different functions is described further on the document. There are four different types of menus: "File" menu It contains the usual file management commands. SFT Installation - Use EN-A0 10

11 Commissioning "Sepam" menu The first three submenus are used to consult a particular Status, "Protection" or Program Logic sheet respectively. The last three submenus may be used respectively to: upload (UpLoad Sepam 2000 PC) the Sepam 2000 settings to a file, download (DownLoad PC Sepam 2000) the Sepam 2000 settings from a particular setting file, download (DownLoad PC Sepam 2000) the Sepam 2000 settings from a default setting file, "Option" menu "?" menu This menu is used to display the software version number. Toolbar The SFT2821 software functions are accessed via the toolbar: the icon corresponds to the "New" submenu defined previously, the icon corresponds to the "Save" submenu defined previously, the icon corresponds to the "Print" submenu defined previously, The user can move from sheet to sheet as follows: via via for "status" sheets, for "protection" sheets, via for "program logic sheets. The movement procedure is described later on. SFT Installation - Use EN-A0 11

12 Managing setting files Creating a new setting file This function allows the user to create a new setting file based on the default parameters of the application. These parameters can then be modified later on. The function is activated via the menu bar ("New" submenu) or via the toolbar. The SFT2821 software asks the user to select a cartridge reference from a predefined list of references: After the cartridge reference has been selected (OK button), the SFT2821 software displays the first "Status sheet. The name of the selected cartridge appears in the title bar. If the user activates the "Cancel" button, the main screen is displayed. If a setting file is already open, the SFT2821 software proposes saving of the settings in the current file if a modification has been made, and closing of the file: SFT Installation - Use EN-A0 12

13 Managing setting files Opening a setting file This function is used to consult and/or modify settings in an existing file. The function is activated via the menu bar ("Open" submenu) or via the toolbar. The SFT2821 software asks the user to select the desired setting file via a standard Windows dialogue window. The user selects the setting file using the "Open" button. If the user presses the "Cancel" button, the main screen is displayed again. The suffix of the setting file is always ".rgl. If a setting file is already open, the SFT2821 software proposes saving of the settings in the current file if a modification has been made, and closing of the file. The setting file contains a data item indicating the cartridge that was used during the definition of the file ("New" function). The name of the cartridge appears in the title bar. If the cartridge reference is not in the list of cartridges recognized by the software, the following message is displayed. After confirmation of the message, the main screen is displayed again. The SFT2821 software checks the validity of the sheet parameters defined for the current hardware configuration, in the setting file. The different errors are indicated to the user in an error window. Closing a setting file If the user tries to use the data contained in the setting file, via the SFT2821 software, the application may be shut down upon the activation of one of the software functions. This function allows the user to close the current setting file. It is activated via the menu bar ("Close" submenu). If a setting file is already open, the SFT2821 software proposes saving of the settings in the current file if a modification has been made, and closing of the file. SFT Installation - Use EN-A0 13

14 Managing setting files Saving a setting file This function is used to save the Sepam 2000 settings: in the current setting file ("Save" function), or in a new setting file ("Save As" function) The function is activated via the menu bar ("Save" submenu) or via the toolbar. The "Save" function is only allowed: if one of the parameters has been modified in the current setting file. Saving is done in the current setting file. if there is a new setting file ("New" function) and the data have not been saved in a setting file. For new setting files for the Save and Save As functions, the SFT2821 software asks the user to indicate the file name and directory in which it should be saved, via the following dialogue window: The suffix of the setting file is always ".rgl. The SFT2821 software runs a check and informs the user if the save is to take place in a file that already exists. The user then has the option of refusing the save operation. Messages indicate any errors and, in such cases, propose retrying the save. SFT Installation - Use EN-A0 14

15 Managing setting files Comparing setting files This function is used to compare the contents of two Sepam 2000 setting files. The files must use the same cartridge reference. The function is activated via the menu bar ( Compare submenu)). The "Compare" function is may be used if no setting files are open. The comparison function request the user to choose the two files to be compared. To start up the comparison, the user activates the "Compare" button. The result of the comparison can be of three types: The setting files are identical, The setting files are incompatibles, i.e. the references of the cartridges used in each file are different. The setting files use the same cartridge reference, but show differences in the function settings. In such cases, the comparison function lists the functions for which there are comparison errors. A setting entered in two different ways generates an error. For example, a time delay set to 50 ms in one file and to 005 s in the other file generates a comparison error.

16 Printing Introduction Print Print format This function is used to print the active setting file. Printing takes place on the default printer, defined in the Windows control panel. Printing errors (e.g. paper missing) are reported to the user via the print manager (outside SFT2821 software). This function is activated via the menu bar ( Print submenu) or via the toolbar. The function may only be accessed after a setting file has been opened. The print format is as follows: on the first page: a designation indicating the reference of the cartridge used to initiate the setting file, file name, current date. parameters that correspond to the "Status" sheets. A "Status" designation precedes the printing of the "Status" sheets. For each "status" sheet: a hyphen is printed between the sheets, the sheet designation is printed, each parameter in the sheet is then printed on a different line in the following form: 'parameter name' = value of the unit parameter' settings that correspond to the "Protection" sheets. A "Protection" designation precedes the printing of the sheets. The settings are printed: sheet by sheet, relay by relay for a sheet. The print format is the same as that described previously. N.B. Certain access conditions are defined in the sheets (e.g. "Number of VTs"). If access is prohibited, the parameters will be printed but the value of the parameter will be replaced by Setting impossible". protection settings and parameter settings that correspond to the Program Logic sheets. A Program Logic designation precedes the printing of the sheets. An example of a printout is given in the appendix. SFT Installation - Use EN-A0 16

17 Stopping the application This function is activated via the menu bar ( Exit submenu) or via the title bar ( icon). If a setting file was open before the function was activated, the SFT2821 software proposes saving of the modified data in the current setting file, before stopping the application. SFT Installation - Use EN-A0 17

18 Consulting and modifying settings Principle Displaying a function Consultation and/or modification of settings may be accessed after the opening of a setting file or after the creation of a new setting file. In the rest of the document, the term "consultation" refers to both consultation and modification of settings. The user consults the settings by accessing a function sheet. The settings specific to a function are presented to the user in the form of a function sheet contained in a tab box in the center of the screen. For the "Status" or "Program Logic" function sheets, a tab box with a single tab is used, with the tab representing a Status function or a Program Logic function respectively. SFT Installation - Use EN-A0 18

19 Consulting and modifying settings For the protection functions, a tab box with several tabs is used. The tab identifies the Sepam 2000 function number and the relay concerned. There are as many tabs as there are relays present for the function. Certain sheets have access conditions. In that case, a message is displayed in the center of the sheet in the place of the settings to indicate the reason for the refusal of access. SFT Installation - Use EN-A0 19

20 Consulting and modifying settings Presentation of settings The settings are displayed in the screen, according to the case: in the form of a data item composed of a Value field and Unit field. The "Value" field is a numerical data entry zone in which the user may enter 3 significant digits at the most. The entry of a decimal point in this field is allowed. The "Unit" field is a pull-down list choose the data unit. in which the user can With this presentation, it is possible to enter a data item in different forms. For example, a data item entered as 450 A is equivalent to the item 0.45 ka. in the form of a numerical value followed, if necessary, by a data item indicating the unit. The unit, in this case, is frozen. The user can enter 3 significant digits at most for this type of value. According to the type of value, it may or may not be possible to enter a decimal point. For example: or entry possible: entry prohibited: in the form of a list of boxes to be checked off indicating the different choices possible. This principle is used for settings for which there are four options at the most. with corresponding to the current value of the setting. in the form of a list of possible choices. This principle is used for settings for which there are more than 4 options. It is possible to move from field to field by pressing the "TAB" key on the keyboard. SFT Installation - Use EN-A0 20

21 Consulting and modifying settings Modifying settings Each function sheet includes two buttons "OK" and "Cancel". Whenever one of the fields displayed in the screen is modified by the user, the two buttons "OK" and "Cancel" are activated, and all of the other functions of the SFT2821 software, activated via the menu bar and/or the toolbar, are disabled. Pressing "OK" triggers a consistency check (see below) and, if everything is OK: the new values of the sheet are taken into account. The new setting values are logged in the PC memory. The user should then save all of the modifications in the current setting file ("Save" or "Save As" function), the two buttons "OK" and "Cancel" are no longer active, all of the SFT2821 software functions are enabled again, except for software customization. When "Cancel" is pressed: the two buttons "OK" and "Cancel" are no longer active, the modifications of the sheet displayed are cancelled, the values prior to the modification are displayed, all of the SFT2821 software functions are enabled again except for software customization. Rounding off values The setting value that results from data entry may be rounded off to a lower value. Rounding off depends on the setting. It takes place at the time that the function settings are confirmed ("OK" button). The new value of the setting is displayed in the screen, after confirmation. For example, rounding off may be: to 10 ms for a time delay. A delay of 176 ms is therefore rounded off to 170 ms to 1 A for a phase current value, to 0.1 A for an earth fault value,... SFT Installation - Use EN-A0 21

22 Consulting and modifying settings Setting consistency check When a function sheet is confirmed ("OK" button), the SFT2821 software runs a semantic check of the settings. This check may concern: consistency between the various function settings, consistency of the settings with respect to the Sepam 2000 general settings. The semantic check of the settings is carried out with the rounded off value of the settings. The sheet settings are only stored in the PC memory if the results of the semantic checks linked to the function sheet are OK. Error messages are displayed in an error window. The error designation indicates the following: name of the sheet with the error and the relay with the error, mnemonic of the erroneous setting, a designation describing the errors, Press the "OK" button in this window to go back to the current function sheet. For Status function sheets, in addition to the checks run on the sheet settings, semantic checks are run on all the functions, with indication of any errors. An error in another function does not call into question the storage of the Status sheet settings. SFT Installation - Use EN-A0 22

23 Consulting and modifying settings Accessing sheets Only the function sheets defined in the cartridge associated with the setting files may be consulted. The "Status", "Program Logic" or "Protection" designation appears in the title bar, to the right of the name of the cartridge. Direct access to records When a setting sheet is opened, new menus are displayed in the menu bar: the "Status" sheets are accessed via the "Status" submenu of the "Sepam" menu. This submenu lists the sheets associated with the cartridge reference. the "Protection" sheets are accessed via the "Protection" submenu of the "Sepam" menu. This submenu lists the protection sheets associated with the cartridge reference. the "Program Logic" sheets are accessed via the "Program Logic" submenu of the "Sepam" menu. This submenu is always the same, regardless of the cartridge reference. When the user confirms his/her choice in one of the submenus, the contents of the corresponding setting sheet are displayed. SFT Installation - Use EN-A0 23

24 Consulting and modifying settings Moving within a category of sheets Using the toolbar, the user may move from sheet to sheet within a category of sheets. If the current sheet being consulted is of the "Status" type, and are used to consult the settings in the Status sheets that follow and precede the Status sheet being consulted, If the current sheet being consulted is of the "Protection" type, and are used to consult the settings in the "Protection" sheets that follow and precede the Protection sheet being consulted, If the current sheet being consulted is of the "Program Logic" type, and are used to consult the settings in the "Program Logic" sheets that follow and precede the Program Logic being consulted, The sheets are accessed in a circular manner, i.e. at the end of the list, the user goes back to the first sheet. Returning to a category of sheets By means of the toolbar, the user can move to another category of sheets: is used to consult the last "Status" sheet consulted. This tool may only be accessed if the sheet currently being consulted is not of the "Status" type. is used to consult the last "Program Logic" sheet consulted. This tool may only be accessed if the sheet currently being consulted is not of the "Program Logic" type. is used to consult the relay in the last "Protection" sheet consulted. This tool may only be accessed if the sheet currently being consulted is not of the "Protection" type. If no sheets in the category were previously consulted, consultation via the buttons is focused on: the first sheet in the category, the first relay in the sheet for Protection sheets.

25 Transferring settings Principle There are 3 types of transfer functions. The role of the functions is to transfer all the Sepam 2000 settings from the Sepam 2000 to an image file on the PC disk: downloading of Sepam 2000 settings from a particular setting file. This function is activated via the "Download (PC -> Sepam 2000)" submenu. downloading of Sepam 2000 settings with default setting values. This function is activated via the "Download Default setting file" submenu. uploading of Sepam 2000 settings into a setting file. This function is activated via the "Upload (Sepam 2000 PC)" submenu. Prior to all transfer operations, the SFT2821 software asks the user, if there is a setting file being modified, if he/she wants to save the modifications on the disk. In any event, the SFT2821 software closes the current setting file again before performing the data transfer. Before carrying out a transfer operation, it is necessary to: connect the PC to the Sepam 2000 using the ACE 900 connection kit (See "ACE 900 connection kit" section), indicate to the software the communication port via which the data is to be transferred (See "Choice of the communication port" section), make sure that the Sepam 2000 is compatible with the SFT2821 software (See "Conditions for use" section). The SFT2821 software can detect a large number of cases of errors. The errors are displayed in error messages. Following confirmation of the messages by the user ("OK" button), the transfer function is canceled and the main screen is displayed again. SFT Installation - Use EN-A0 25

26 Transferring settings Whatever the transfer function and the transfer phase under way, when the SFT2821 software detects a transmission error (e.g. parity error, overflow error, damaged connection cord, Sepam 2000 disconnected or deenergized, incorrect version of Sepam ), the following error message is displayed: If the SFT2821 software can no longer transmit to Sepam 2000 (error due to the communication port), the following error message is displayed: In the case of errors, the SFT2821 software tries to put the Sepam 2000 back into normal status. SFT Installation - Use EN-A0 26

27 Transferring settings Identification Whichever transfer function is selected, a Sepam 2000 identification phase takes place at the very beginning of the transfer operation. The purpose of this phase is to: initialize the communication port, dialogue with the Sepam 2000, check that the Sepam 2000 version is compatible with the SFT2821 software, check the reference of the cartridge to be downloaded against that of the setting file (case of downloading from a specific setting file), enter and then send a password for downloading operations. Throughout the Sepam 2000 identification phase, a window with a percentage of progress is displayed. The user has the possibility of interrupting the function under way by pressing the "Cancel" button. If the SFT2821 software is unable to configure the communication port indicated at the time of customization, it displays the following message: SFT Installation - Use EN-A0 27

28 Transferring settings If connection errors or a missing link are detected, the SFT2821 software displays the following message: If the SFT2821 software detects continuous receiving during the Sepam 2000 identification phase, it displays the following error message: The compatibility of the Sepam 2000 with the SFT2821 software is determined by means of a Sepam 2000 identification request. If the Sepam 2000 does not respond to the request, the SFT2821 software displays the following message: If the Sepam 2000 is identified, for downloading operations from a specific setting file, the SFT2821 software checks the compatibility between: the Sepam 2000 cartridge reference, the reference of the cartridge contained in the setting file to be transferred. If there is a difference, the SFT2821 software displays the following message. It is then possible to continue the transfer function ("Yes" button) or else stop it ("No" button). Once the identification phase is over, the window showing progress is erased from the screen. The identification phase takes about 30 seconds. SFT Installation - Use EN-A0 28

29 Transferring settings Downloading function Downloading from a particular setting file and downloading from a fault setting file are almost identical. The downloading functions do not check the contents of the setting file transmitted to the Sepam 2000, but simply that the transfer has taken place correctly. Before performing the downloading operation, the SFT2821 software asks the user to confirm downloading, indicating that the Sepam 2000 settings will be lost. The user has the options of: continuing to download by pressing the "Yes" button interrupting the function by pressing the "No" button. If the user answers yes, and if it is for downloading from a particular setting file, the SFT2821 software asks the user to indicate the file name and directory, via a dialogue window: The identification phase described previously then takes place. SFT Installation - Use EN-A0 29

30 Transferring settings If the identification phase takes place correctly, the SFT2821 software asks the user to enter a password in the window below. The password consists of 4 to 7 digits. The characters are display as "*" as they are entered. The user confirms the password by pressing the "OK" button. If the user enters less than 4 characters, a message appears. The user can then enter the password again. The password is transmitted to Sepam 2000 for verification. If the password entered by the user is different from the password recognized by Sepam 2000, the SFT2821 software informs the user. The user can enter a new password ( Yes" button), or stop the operation in progress ("No" button). SFT Installation - Use EN-A0 30

31 Transferring settings If the password is correct, the SFT2821 software performs the actual downloading. During this phase, the SFT2821 software displays a window showing progress, with a data item in the title bar of the window that indicates whether the operation concerns the downloading of default settings or downloading from a particular setting file. For downloading from a particular file, the name of the file to be downloaded appears in the title bar of the window. Example of downloading from a particular file. Example of downloading from the default setting file: The user can stop the transfer under way by pressing the "Cancel" button. SFT Installation - Use EN-A0 31

32 Transferring settings When the transfer has been successfully completed, the SFT2821 software informs the user via the following message: At the beginning of the transfer, the SFT2821 software tries to switch the Sepam 2000 into Download mode. In the event of an error, the software informs the user via the following message: If the user has activated the "Cancel" button during the transfer phase of it there has been a transfer error, the Sepam 2000 has been partially set. The SFT2821 software displays the following message: In this case, the user must re-program the Sepam 2000 settings in order to ensure that they are consistent. The user can then repeat the downloading operation ("Yes" button) in the same way as for the identification phase, or stop the transfer function ("No" button). The transfer time (excluding the identification phase) is about 30 seconds. SFT Installation - Use EN-A0 32

33 Transferring settings Uploading function The uploading function does not check the contents of the settings transmitted to the Sepam 2000, but simply that the transfer has taken place correctly. The identification phase described previously is the first phase of the function. If the identification phase has taken place correctly, the SFT2821 software performs the actual uploading. During this phase, the SFT2821 software displays uploading progress in the following window: The user can stop the transfer under way by pressing the "Cancel" button. When the transfer has been successfully completed, the SFT2821 software informs the user via the following message: SFT Installation - Use EN-A0 33
