Step 4. For any detected errors, modify the settings and send the settings
until the relay accepts your settings.
Step 5. Repeat Step 2–Step 4 for each settings class that you want to modify.
Step 6. Test and commission the relay.
SET_ALL.TXT File (Read-Only)
The SET_ALL.TXT file contains the settings for all of the settings classes in the relay.
SET_cn.TXT Files (Read and Write)
There is a file for each instance of each setting class. Table 15.12 summarizes the
typical settings files. The exact list of settings files depends on the specific set-
tings classes available in each relay model. The settings class is designated by c,
and the settings instance number is n.
BAY_SCREEN.TXT
NOTE: Not all SEL-400 series relays
support bay mimic screens.
The BAY_SCREEN.TXT file describes the content of the custom bay mimic
screen that can be selected for display on the HMI. This file is generated by
QuickSet and may be downloaded to the relay when Bay Control settings are
changed.
ERR.TXT (Read-Only)
The ERR.TXT file contents are based on the most recent SET_cn.TXT or
SET_61850.CID file written to the relay. If there were no errors, the file is empty.
If errors occurred, the relay logs these errors in the ERR.TXT file.
SET_61850.CID
Present if ordered with the IEC 61850 protocol option, the SET_61850.CID file
contains the IEC 61850 configured IED description in XML. This file is gener-
ated by Architect and downloaded to the relay. See Section 17: IEC 61850 Com-
munication for more information on the SET_61850.CID file.
