WHAT IS WINECP?
WinECP is an interface program to ABB protective relays. WinECP resides on a PC and communicates to the relay via
one of the PC's serial communication ports.
WinECP operates either "on-line" (i.e., communicating with a relay) or "Offline". In the Offline mode, WinECP is not
communicating with a relay but with data files which may have been saved from a relay or from a previous WinECP
session. WinECP also acts as a "communication bridge" to other software programs and features such as CurveGen,
Oscillographics Analysis Tool and Load Profile.
System Requirements
To use WinECP you must have:
Ø Pentium class or better PC
Ø Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT
Ø Minimum screen resolution setting of 800x600
This User Guide is intended for use by power utility technicians and engineers and sales persons familiar with ABB
protective relays. These users should also be familiar with the PC and use of Windows programs.
INSTALLATION
To install WinECP on your computer's hard drive, follow these steps:
1. Start Microsoft Windows 95 or NT.
2. Place Installation Disk 1 in the floppy diskette drive.
3. From the Start Menu, select Run.
4. Type the letter of the floppy diskette drive where you placed the installation disk, followed by a colon, followed by setup.
Figure 1
For example, if you placed the diskette in drive b, you would type:
b:setup
5. Click OK.
6. Follow the instructions on your computer screen to complete the installation.
The installation program copies the selected application files (WinECP, Oscillographics Analysis Tool and/or FPI) onto
your hard drive. The default directory for installation is \ABB Applications.
The installation also creates a Windows Start Programs Menu group called ABB Applications, which contains shortcuts
to the applications installed by the WinECP installation program.
