CHAPTER 10: INTRODUCING THE D400 CONFIGURATION
D400 online configuration tool
The D400 Online Configuration Tool is used to create, edit and update the software
configuration of the D400 while it is in operation. The Online Configuration Tool is a
component of the D400 HMI.
Figure 57: D400 configuration tool interface
You use the D400 Online Configuration Tool to:
• Set up D400 communications to devices and masters (serial or network connections)
• Select and/or create point maps (for devices and masters)
• Configure alarms
• Create custom data calculations
• Set system preferences
• Manage user accounts
• Create one-line diagrams
Although you are configuring the D400 while it is online, your configuration changes do
not take effect until you “commit” the changes. Once a configuration is committed, it is
validated and copied to the system disk and the D400 applications are restarted.
One-Line designer
The One-Line Designer is a specialized drawing tool for creating substation one-line
diagrams and forms, such as a Digital Event Manager panel. The One-Line Designer is
accessed from within the D400 Online Configuration Tool.
To start the online configuration tool:
• Log into the D400 HMI and click the Configuration button on the Power bar.
You must have Supervisor privileges to access the configuration tool. Only one Supervisor
user at a time can be logged in to perform configuration functions.
This manual provides detailed information on the configurable settings in the D400, and
how to configure the D400 to work with different aspects of the substation system.
For more information about using the D400 Online Configuration Tool, functions and
screens refer to the D400 online Help.
