8 MM3PC SOFTWARE
8 MM3PC SOFTWARE 8.1 OVERVIEW
Although setpoints can be entered manually using the front panel keys, it is much easier to use a computer to
download values through the communications port. The MM3PC software is available from Power Manage-
ment to make this as convenient as possible. With MM3PC running, it is possible to:
•
Program/modify setpoints
•
Load/save setpoint files from/to disk
•
Read actual values
•
Monitor status
•
Read pre-trip data and trip record
•
Get help on any topic
•
Upgrade MM3 firmware
•
View the instruction manual as a Help file
The MM3PC software allows immediate access to all MM3 features with easy to use pull down menus in the
familiar Windows environment. This chapter provides the necessary information to install MM3PC, upgrade the
relay firmware, and write/edit setpoint files.
The MM3PC software can run without a MM3 connected to the computer. In this case, settings may be saved
to a file for future use. If an MM3 is connected to a PC and communications are enabled, the MM3 can be pro-
grammed from the setpoint screens. In addition, measured values, status and trip messages can be displayed
with the actual value screens.
The following minimum requirements must be met for the PC program to operate on the computer.
•
Windows™ 3.1/95/98 is installed and running properly
•
at least 6 MB hard disk space is available
MM3PC can be installed from either the GE Power Management Products CD or the GE Power Management
website at www.GEindustrial.com/pm. If you are using legacy equipment without web access or a CD
drive, 3.5" floppy disks can be ordered from the factory.
