2.8 Device Planning
“Device Planning” means to change the functional range to a degree that suits the
protection task to be fullled. There is a top-level menu item [Device planning] that is
dedicated to this, and it makes essentially the following types of settings available:
• For WIC1‑2 und WIC1‑3: Select which settings shall be used, the switch settings or•
the DiggiMEC / Smart view settings.
• Activation of the functions that are needed for the application, and deactivation of•
the other ones.
• For the activated protection functions: Select whether these shall trip the circuit•
breaker or issue a warning message. See ╚═▷ “Denition (“Alarm ↔ Trip”) of a
Protection Function” for information on this.
Switch Settings or Software Settings
Device variants WIC1‑2 and WIC1‑3 are set via DIP or HEX switches, respectively. But
independent of these switch settings it is still possible to make settings via DiggiMEC /
Smart view.
To prevent a potential conict between what is set via the switches, and what is set
via DiggiMEC / Smart view, there is the setting [Device planning] »Settings valid«. It
selects whether the WIC1 shall actually use the switch settings or the DiggiMEC / Smart
view settings.
The factory default of »Settings valid« is “Switches”, so that it is possible to congure these
devices without a DiggiMEC.
Note that not all settings of the WIC1‑2 / WIC1‑3 can be “reached” via DIP / HEX switches.
This has the eect that for a conguration via switches (»Settings valid« = “Switches”), all
settings that are not assigned to any DIP / HEX switch are always set to their respective
factory defaults. See also ╚═▷ “Validity of the DIP-/HEX-Switches”.
Activation of Functions
In general, it is always important to activate only those funtions that are needed, and
deactivate the others. (Of course, this is particularly essential when settings are made via
DiggiMEC / Smart view. For devices with DIP or HEX switches, there is already a factory
default for this.)
The menu [Device planning] collects a setting parameter named »Mode« for each function,
which can be set to “-” or to “use”.
If the user, for example, deactivates the inrush protection function, all menu branches
related to this function disappear from the menu tree. All corresponding events, signals,
etc., are deactivated as well. This simplies the menu tree.
