4 HUMAN INTERFACES. SETTINGS & ACTUAL VALUES 4.1ENERVISTA 650 SETUP SOFTWARE INTERFACE
The EnerVista 650 Setup software provides a graphical user interface (GUI) as one of two human interfaces to a 650
device. The alternate human interface is implemented via the device's faceplate keypad and display (see Human Machine
Interface section in this chapter).
The EnerVista 650 Setup software provides a single facility to configure, monitor, maintain, and trouble-shoot the operation
of relay functions, connected over local or wide area communication networks. It can be used while disconnected (i.e.
offline) or connected (i.e. on-line) to a 650 device. In off-line mode, settings files can be created for eventual downloading to
the device. In on-line mode, you can communicate with the device in real-time.
The EnerVista 650 Setup software, provided with every G650 relay, can be run from any computer supporting Microsoft
Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, ME, and XP. This chapter provides a summary of the basic EnerVista 650 Setup software
®
interface features. The EnerVista 650 Setup Help File provides details for getting started and using the EnerVista 650
Setup software interface.
This software package uses ModBus protocol, and it is designed to communicate with a single relay at a time. GE offers
different communication software packages, such as GE-POWER, which can be used to communicate simultaneously with
several relays.
EnerVista 650 Setup software provides an easy way to configure, monitor and manage all G650 features.
4.1.2.1 ENGAGING A DEVICE
The EnerVista 650 Setup software may be used in on-line mode (relay connected) to directly communicate with a 650
device.
4.1.2.2 USING SETTINGS FILES
The EnerVista 650 Setup software interface supports three ways of handling changes to relay settings:
1. In off-line mode (relay disconnected) to create or edit relay settings files for later download to communicating relays.
2. While connected to a communicating relay to directly modify any relay settings via relay data view windows, and then
save the settings to the relay.
3. You can create/edit settings files and then write them to the relay while the interface is connected to the relay.
Settings files are organized on the basis of file names assigned by the user. A settings file contains data pertaining to the
following types of relay settings:
•Product Setup
•System Setup
•Protection Elements
•Control Elements
•Inputs/Outputs
•Relay Configuration
•Logic Configuration
4.1.2.3 VIEWING ACTUAL VALUES
You can view real-time relay data such as input/output status and measured parameters.
