Note:
If you extract a PSL file from a device that does not store the position information of the PSL scheme elements, the
layout of the scheme may not be the same as originally drawn. Also the Original and Logic Only CRC values may not
match the original scheme. However, the scheme will be logically correct.
1.1.9 EXTRACT A DNP3 FILE FROM A DEVICE
1. Using System Explorer, find the device.
2.
Right-click the device's DNP3 folder and select Extract.
3. Once the file is retrieved, click Close.
1.1.10 EXTRACT AN EVENTS FILE FROM A DEVICE
1. Using System Explorer, find the device.
2.
Right-click the device's Events folder and select Extract Events.
3. Once the file is retrieved, click Close.
1.1.11 EXTRACT A DISTURBANCE RECORD FROM A DEVICE
1. Using System Explorer, find the device.
2.
Right-click the device's Disturbance Records folder and select Extract Disturbances.
3. Select a disturbance record to extract.
4. Choose a COMTRADE format, 1991 or 2001.
5. Click Extract or Save. Save leaves the record in the device, Extract deletes it.
6. Once the disturbance records file is retrieved, click Close.
1.2 PSL EDITOR
The Programmable Scheme Logic (PSL) is a module of programmable logic gates and timers in the IED,
which can be used to create customised internal logic. This is done by combining the IED's digital inputs with
internally generated digital signals using logic gates and timers, then mapping the resultant signals to the
IED's digital outputs and LEDs.
The Programmable Scheme Logic (PSL) Editor allows you to create and edit scheme logic diagrams to suit
your own particular application.
1.3 IEC 61850 CONFIGURATOR
IEC 61850 is a substation communications standard. It standardizes the way data is transferred to and from
IEC 61850 compliant IEDs, making the communication independent of the manufacturer. This makes it
easier to connect different manufacturers’ products together and simplifies wiring and network changes.
The IEC 61850 Configurator tool is used to configure the IEC 61850 settings of MiCOM IEDs, not the
protection settings. It also allows you to extract a configuration file so you can view, check and modify the
IEC 61850 settings during precommissioning.
1.4 DNP3 CONFIGURATOR
DNP3 (Distributed Network Protocol) is a master/slave protocol developed for reliable communications
between various types of data acquisition and control equipment. It allows interoperability between various
SCADA components in substations. It was designed to function with adverse electrical conditions such as
electromagnetic distortion, aging components and poor transmission media.
The DNP3 Configurator allows you to retrieve and edit its settings and send the modified file back to a
MiCOM IED.
