2.1 General
A few seconds after the device is switched on, the default display appears on the LCD. 
In the 7UT613/63x the measured values are displayed. 
The function parameters, i.e. settings of function options, threshold values, etc., can 
be entered via the front panel of the device or by means of a PC connected to the op-
erator or service interface of the device utilising DIGSI. Password No. 5 is required to 
modify individual settings. Operation via DIGSI is described in the SIPROTEC system 
description /1/ .
In this section you make the basic decisions regarding the proper interaction between 
your substation, its measuring points, the analogue device connections and the 
various protective functions of the device. Because of the comprehensive range of 
features provided by the devices of the 7UT613/63x family, this section is quite exten-
sive. The device is portrayed here as completely as possible with regard to the system 
to be protected together with its measuring points, i.e. the current and voltage trans-
formers, and what effects are to be expected of the protective functions of the device.
In a first step (Section 2.1.3) you should specify what type of plant component you 
want to protect, since the scope of additional features offered depends on the type of 
the main protected object.  Moreover you have to decide which protective functions 
you want to use, because not all of the functions integrated in the device are neces-
sary, useful or even possible for any relevant case of application.
In the next step (section 2.1.4), you describe the topology of the protected object. i.e. 
the arrangement of the protected object, its sides (windings for transformers, sides for 
generators/motors, ends for lines, feeders for busbars), and the measuring locations 
which will provide the respective measured values.
After entering some General Power System Data (frequency, phase sequence), you 
inform the device in section 2.1.4 of the properties of the main protected object. Object 
properties include the ratings and (in the case of transformers) the starpoint treatment, 
vector group and, where applicable, the auto-transformer winding.
Subsection 2.1.4 also deals with the CT data which must be set to ensure that the 
currents acquired at the various measuring locations are evaluated in the device with 
the correct scale factor.
The above information is sufficient to describe the protected object to the device's 
main protection function, i.e. the differential protection. For the other protection 
functions, you select in section 2.1.6 the measured values which will be processed by 
you and in which way.
The same section 2.1.6 provides information with regard to how to set the circuit 
breaker data, and finding out about setting groups and how to use them. Last but not 
least, you can set general data which are not dependent on any protection functions.
