Cooper SMP 4 - Configuring Master Protocols for Event File Retrieval

SMP Gateway User Manual • 121
 The numerical Folder ID, which is a number ranging from 1 to 99. On an SMP Gateway,
each system folder, remote or local, must have a unique ID.
 The folder Name. This name references the folder in master protocols’ file-retrieval
settings. It is also used in traces, logs and stats.
 The number of bytes that will trigger a transition on a specific logical data point, thereby
advising you that space is running low (see the Master Protocol Common Concepts
document for details). The maximum value you can type is 2,147,483,647, and the
default is 0 (no notification at all).
 Select the Compress checkbox to compress and archive event files to a ZIP file. If a
given event is made of multiple files, all files will be compressed and archived together in
the same ZIP file.
 Optionally, you can provide a description of the folder.
15.2 Configuring Master Protocols for Event File
Retrieval
Having defined system folders, you can now configure an event-retrieving master protocol
component and assign it a system folder.
Note: Configuring an Interconnections master instance for files retrieval requires a
different procedure, which is described in the “Retrieving files from another
SMP Gateway” section, below.
To configure a master protocol instance for event retrieval, proceed as follows:
 Open SMP Manager.
 Select the SMP Gateway that will retrieve event files.
 From the Tools menu, select SMP Config.
 In the left pane of the SMP Config window, expand the master protocol instance’s branch.
 Click Event Files. The list of event files that can be retrieved using this protocol instance is
listed in the right pane.
 In the right pane, the event file has automatically been assigned a Name, based on the
protocol. For example, an IEC 60870-5-103 event file is called a “Disturbance Data File”, a
Hathaway BCM-200 event file is called a “Breaker Operation Record”, and a Hathaway DFR
1200 is called a “Digital Fault Record”.
 The event file has automatically been assigned a Short Name, also based on the protocol. To
continue with the aforementioned example, the 3 short names would be DDF, BOR and DFR,
respectively. You cannot modify the short name.
