1 DESCRIPTION This manual covers the operation of the DSE SCADA Suite software for DSE8600 / DSE8700 series synchronising modules. Separate manuals cover the remaining DSE modules supported by the software. The Help section of the software contains links to these documents, copied onto the PC during the software installation process. The DSE configuration suite allows the DSE8600 / DSE8700 family of modules to be connected to a PC via Belden 9841 RS485 cable. The SCADA suite should only be used by competent, qualified personnel, as changes to the operation of the module may have safety implications on the panel / generating set to which it is fitted. Access to the settings in the controller, may be barred by a security code set by the generator provider. The information contained in this manual should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the appropriate module documentation. A separate manual deals with the operation of the individual module (See section entitled Bibliography elsewhere in this document). 4

Operation Graphical Setup 3 CONFIGURING THE SCADA SUITE To run the SCADA Suite Editor Software click the Windows start button or depending upon your version of Windows. In the Programs section of the computer s START menu, select DEEP SEA ELECTRONICS PLC DSE SCADA suite configuration tool : This program allows the creation of a custom graphical interface for the SCADA Suite program or DSE8003 remote colour overview display module. To add devices to the system, drag them from the side bar to the canvas. Example of an entire system : When adding mains or generator parts to the canvas, it is not necessary to specify the controller type, this is automatically made when the SCADA suite communicates with the controllers. The software is compatible with DSE8610, DSE8660, DSE8680, DSE8710 and DSE8760 controllers. Alignment tools, load, save etc are provided in the modules menu bar and associated toolbar at the of the graphical editor screen.
Operation Graphical Setup 3.1 PROPERTIES The properties section is used to setup the communications with the controller and set the graphical properties of the display such as the controller s name (ie Gen1) and whether the symbol appears above or below the bus. BusGroup allows the symbol to belong on the same generator bus as others. For example the display can show two independent generator busses, not connected. Example: BusGroup 1 Example: BusGroup 2 3.2 SAVING FOR USE WITH DSE8005 SCADA SUITE PC SOFTWARE Save the file to the installation folder (usually C:\Program Files\Deep Sea Electronics PLC\DSE Scada Suite), with the filename DSEScadaSuite.xml. When SCADA Suite is started, this configuration file is automatically loaded by the software. 3.3 SAVING FOR USE WITH DSE8003 7 COLOUR OVERVIEW DISPLAY Save the file to the root of a USB pen drive with the filename DSEScadaSuite.xml. Insert this pen drive into the USB host socket of the DSE8003 7 colour overview display. When the DSE8003 display is powered up, this configuration file is automatically loaded. Operation of the DSE8003 display is covered in: DSE publication 057-134 DSE8003 colour display operator manual. USB Host Socket for configuration by USB pen drive device. 11
