8.1 OVERVIEW 8.1.1 DESCRIPTION
Although setpoints can be entered manually using the front panel keys, it is much easier to use a
computer to download values through the communications port. The MM2PC
®
software is available
from Power Management to make this as convenient as possible. With MM2PC
®
running, it is possi-
ble to:
• Program/modify setpoints
• Load/save setpoint files from/to disk
• Read actual values
• Monitor status
• Read pre-trip data and trip record
• Get help on any topic
• Upgrade MM2 firmware
• View the instruction manual as a Help file
The MM2PC
®
software allows immediate access to all MM2 features with easy to use pull down
menus in the familiar Windows environment. This chapter provides the necessary information to
install MM2PC
®
, upgrade the relay firmware, and write/edit setpoint files.
The MM2PC
®
software can run without a MM2 connected to the computer. In this case, settings may
be saved to a file for future use. If an MM2 is connected to a PC and communications are enabled,
the MM2 can be programmed from the setpoint screens. In addition, measured values, status and
trip messages can be displayed with the actual value screens.
8.1.2 HARDWARE & SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
The following minimum requirements must be met for the PC program to operate on the computer.

®
