Settings Group Switching

8.7.9
For different applications you can save the respective function settings in so-called Settings groups, and if
necessary enable them quickly.
You can save up to 8 different settings groups in the device. In the process, only one settings group is active at
any given time. During operation, you can switch between settings groups. The source of the switchover can
be selected via a parameter.
You can switchover the settings groups via the following alternatives:
•
Via the on-site operation panel directly on the device
•
Via an online DIGSI connection to the device
•
Via binary inputs
•
Via a communication connection to the substation automation technology
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.
A settings group includes all switchable settings of the device. Except for a few exceptions (for example,
general device settings such as rated frequency), all device settings can be switched.
This section assumes multiple configured settings groups, and only describes the switching process. The func-
tion and their setting parameters are described in the chapter Settings Group Switching in the Device
manual.
Settings Group Switching via DIGSI 5
Use the project-tree window to initiate settings group switching on your SIPROTEC 5 device. Settings group
switching can be initiated both via the project (offline) and via the online access point.
NOTE

i
Bear in mind that the settings group in the project is switched by loading the DCF into the device. This
causes an automatic device restart (reset). If you make other functional changes at the same time, a device
restart may also occur in online mode or at the on-site operation panel. Switching without interrupting
device operation may be performed only with online access.
Settings group switching via the project (offline)
•
Select: Project → Device → Settings → Device settings → Active settings group
•
Select the desired settings group and then load the DCF into the device.
For settings group switching via the online access point
•
Select: Online access → Interface → Device → Settings → Device settings → Active settings group
•
Select the desired settings group and then load the change into the device.
