9328900990 Rev L BE1-951 BESTCOMS Software 14-5
CONFIGURING THE PC
If you have an actual BE1-951 relay, configure your PC to match the BE1-951 configuration. To do this,
pull down the C
ommunication menu in the pull-down menu and select Configure. Now, match the
communication configuration in the BE1-951 relay. You may select Terminal (VT100 Emulation) and go
directly to that communication protocol. You must close Terminal Mode before you can use BESTCOMS
again. If you are comfortable using ASCII commands, the Terminal Mode is an easy method for checking
the actual settings or status of the relay when you are in doubt about an action taken in BESTCOMS.
ASCII commands are available in Section 11, ASCII Command Interface.
SETTING THE RELAY
To set the relay, we will discuss the contents of each of the screens for BESTCOMS for BE1-951. The
System Setup Summary screen was discussed in previous paragraphs and we begin with the assumption
that you have started BESTCOMS, connected the PC to the relay, and configured your PC to the relay. If
the default settings are active in your relay, you will have to change the logic to clear the major alarm or
disable the Logic = None Alarm under Alarm Priority. For more information, see Section 6, Reporting and
Alarms, Alarms Function. This section describes BESTCOMS features as they occur and not on a priority
(perform this setting first) basis. For information on how to select or name the active logic, see the
paragraphs on BESTlogic sub-heading.
Select Logic Scheme for Display
In
Figure 14-3, below the pull-down menu, there is a pull down arrow for the Logic menu. To select a
preprogrammed scheme, pull down this menu and click on the desired scheme. When you do, the logic-
selected name is displayed in the Logic window and the System Setup Summary screen displays what
results would be if that scheme were active. It does not make it the active screen. You select custom and
preprogrammed logic schemes using the BESTlogic screen (see additional paragraphs within this section
of the manual).
Settings Display and Selection
Immediately to the right of the Logic menu, there is a Settings window. If the active screen does not have
a possible Group 0, 1, 2, or 3 selection, then Global is shown in the Settings window. Settings available at
this time are general in nature and do not apply to any group. If a group selection is possible, then a pull-
down menu is shown and provides for Setting Group 0, 1, 2, or 3 selection. An example of this is the
Overcurrent Protection screen. Pull down the S
creens menu and select Overcurrent Protection. If you
wanted the specific setting change that you were about to make to affect the Group 1 settings, select
Group 1.
General Operation Screen
Pull-down the S
creens menu and select General Operation or click on the General Operation
icon that is shown at the right margin of this paragraph. This screen has seven folder tabs and
the first tab is General Information.
General Information
This information tab (
Figure 14-5) allows you to fill in the style number of the relay, which is available from
the label on the relay front panel. You can also enter the serial number and software application program
information.
