Service program PowerSys
The service program PowerSys is required for commissioning and for maintenance and diagnosis
of the PowerLink or SWT 3000 units. The following description applies to the program versions
≥P3.3.2xx. The term “SWT 3000" is employed below for Stand-alone protection signalling units and
"iSWT" for devices integrated in the PowerLink. The service PC must meet the following require-
ments:
PC requirements
Operating system Windows 2000 or Windows XP
Processor Pentium or better (or processor with equivalent perform-
ance)
Clock min. 800 MHz
System memory 256 MB
CD drive
Serial interface RS 232
Printer interface (LPTx)
Installation of the service program
With the program versions ≥P3.3.1xx multiple installation is possible. Older versions may be re-
moved.
With Start/Control Panel/Software uninstall older PowerSys versions with click on
change/remove
Note: Data files stored in older versions e.g. in C:\Program Fi-
les\PowerSys\P3.x.y\DeviceFiles are not uninstalled and may be used again after re-
installing the older version.
Install the new service program
The service program is delivered on a CD-ROM. Please run the Setup.exe. The program leads
you through the installation.

Regional settings other than “German” or “English (UK)” may cause
problems. It is strongly recommended to switch Windows to one of the
above mentioned settings (Start/Control panel/regional settings). Reason
for the problems are the different formats for numbers, date and time.
With the PowerSys software the SWTStraps program is installed as well. The program is very
useful to find the jumper settings for the iSWT modules.
