30. Telegyr8979–ProtocolSpecic
Most test set operations are independent of the specic protocol being used and are described
in the non-protocol specic topics. The most common protocol specic activity is dening the
message structure for a particular RTU. This involves dening the number and types of points
(analog, digital, and accumulator) congured in the device (RTU, IED) under test. This information
enables the test set to issue the proper data scan request and to parse and correctly display
information in data response messages. The following sections will describe the protocol specic
considerations, if any, for Task and Exchange operational modes and, within those modes, any
communication mode (Line Monitor, Master Simulation, and RTU Simulation) protocol specic
considerations.
30.1. Telegyr 8979 – Exchange Mode
For Exchange Mode, protocol specic tasks are editing Exchange Denition and setting RTU
address information.
30.1.1. Telegyr8979–EditExchangeDenition
Congure one or more Read exchanges (Analog Force Report, Analog Group Force Report,
Indication Force Report) with device point information. The specic Read exchange(s) to
congure is a function of how points are congured in the device. In the following example, the
device conguration consists of 16 Indication and 8 Analog points.
From the Exchange view, right-click on the line containing the Analog Force Report exchange
and select Edit Exchange Denition.
Under the “To Master” section, expand the element “Analog: unknown quantity of blocks”, set
“Repeat Count” to 8 (1 analog point per block), then OK.
