4.1.7 Settings templates

Settings file templates simplify the configuration and commissioning of multiple relays that protect similar assets. An
example is a substation that has 10 similar feeders protected by 10 UR F60 relays.
In these situations, typically 90% or greater of the settings are identical among devices. The templates allow engineers to
configure and test these common settings, then lock them so that they are not available to users. For example, locked
settings can be hidden from view for field engineers, allowing them to quickly identify and concentrate on specific settings.
The remaining settings (typically 10% or less) can be specified as editable and made available to field engineers installing
the devices. These are settings such as protection element pickup values and CT and VT ratios.
The settings template mode allows the user to define which settings are visible in the software. Settings templates can be
applied to both settings files (settings file templates) and online devices (online settings templates). The functionality is
identical for both purposes.
Template mode is available in English only.
Settings file conversion from previous firmware versions is supported.
4.1.7.1 Enable the settings template
The settings file template feature is disabled by default. It can be enabled in offline or online mode.
The procedure outlines how to enable in offline mode the settings template for UR settings files.
1. Locate the settings file in the Offline Window area of the EnerVista UR Setup software. If not there, a file can be added
from an online device by right-clicking it and selecting the Add Device to Offline Window option.
2. In the Offline Window area, right-click the selected device or settings file and select the Template Mode > Create
Template option.
The settings file template is now enabled and the file menus display in light blue. The settings file is now in template
editing mode. To undo the action, select Template Mode > Remove Template.
