Changing the Operating State
When clicking one of the buttons in the column Action for the first time, you will be prompted for the password
no. 6 (for hardware test menus). After correct entry of the password, individual annunciations can be initiated.
To do so, click on the button Send on the corresponding line. The corresponding message is issued and can
be read out either from the event log of the SIPROTEC 4 device or from the substation control system.
As long as the window is open, further tests can be performed.
Test in Message Direction
For all information that is transmitted to the central station, test the options in the list which appears in SET-
POINT Status:
• Make sure that each checking process is carried out carefully without causing any danger (see above and
refer to DANGER!)
• Click on Send in the function to be tested and check whether the transmitted information reaches the central
station and shows the desired reaction. Data which are normally linked via binary inputs (first character „>")
are likewise indicated to the central power system with this procedure. The function of the binary inputs itself
is tested separately.
Test in Command Direction
The information transmitted in command direction must be indicated by the central station. Check whether the
reaction is correct.
