If you want to copy settings groups, select a source and target parameter group in DIGSI 5 in the device
settings, and then start the copy process. The device settings can be found in the DIGSI 5 project tree under
Project → Device → Settings → Device settings.
If you want to compare settings groups, it is possible to do so in all setting sheets for settings. You will then
select in addition to the active settings group, a 2nd settings group for comparison. Active setting values and
the comparable values are displayed next to each other. For settings that cannot be switched over, no compa-
rable values are displayed.
Indication of Settings Group Switchings
Every settings group shows an applicable binary indication as well as its activation and deactivation. The
process of settings group switching is also logged in the log for settings changes.

Description
via control
The switchover between the settings groups can only be initiated via a
communication connection from a substation automation technology or via
a CFC chart.
The communication protocols IEC 60870-5-103, IEC 60870-5-104, IEC
61850, DNP or Modbus TCP can be used for switching the settings groups
via a communication connection.
via binary input
The switchover between the settings groups functions exclusively via the
binary input signals routed to the settings group switching.
settings group 1
...
settings group 8
They define the active settings groups. You can define the active settings
groups in DIGSI 5, or directly on the device via the on-site operation.
