Chapter 1. Description and Start

The present manual is intended to assist in using the configuration design program ZIVerlog®.
This program operates on PCs with WINDOWSTM environment and is capable of implementing
said configurations into terminal equipment control subsystems.

1.1.1 Introduction to ZIVerlog® Configuration Program


®
ZIVerlog is a program designed to configure subsystems for the control of integrated
protection, control and metering equipment. The program allows designing configurations,
modifying configurations resident in the program itself and downloading given configurations
into the equipment through the local port or through the modem-communications port.

The program may not retrieve information saved in the equipment, so that it must be saved in
program-controlled databases.

All configurations generated by ZIVerlog® can be saved on physical support, as described in


Chapter 2.9.

1.1.2 Functions
1.1.2.a Designing Control Subsystem Configurations
Allows creating an entirely new configuration, with new user-defined elements or using other
configuration’s elements.

1.1.2.b Modifying Previously Selected Configurations


Allows modifying all the key elements for configuration design, that is:

- Modifying, adding or deleting, logic cards.


- Modifying logic gates (also named opcodes) that take part in logic cards.
- Modifying gate input or output signals.
- Alter card processing sequence, as well as card logic gate processing sequence.
- Modifying alarm panel signals.
- Modifying logic card settings.
- Modifying digital tags to send configuration via communications
- Modifying single line diagrams associated to the configuration: change elements, change
graphic aspect, etc.
- Modifying analog tags to send configuration via communications.

1.1 Functions

1.1.2.c Downloading Configuration on Terminal Equipment Control


Subsystems
Program-generated codes can be sent to the equipment to implement a given control
subsystem configuration. This process is executed via the local port. Backups of these compiled
configurations can be generated, which can be used to configure equipment directly with no
need for new compilation.

1.1.2.d Configuration Management


The program allows downloading configurations to diskettes, as well as retrieving said
configurations, updating etc.

1.1.2.e Report Generation


Documents can also be generated, which offers the possibility to obtain reports of any of the
generated configurations in three different formats: on screen, hard prints or in postscript files.

1.2.1 Minimum Computer Requirements


Minimum PC requirements are:

- 8Mb minimum RAM.


- WINDOWS environment version 3.1 or higher.
- 40Mb Hard disk.
- VGA colour monitor.
- 2 serial ports.
- VGA card 640x480 minimum (recommended 800x600).

1.2.2 Preparation for Installation


Prior to commencement of ZIVerlog® installation, check the requirements specified in the above
paragraph and that the hard disk has enough free space for the new application, namely 20 Mb
minimum space. Remember that during the installation process more space will be required
than needed for normal operation. The application as such takes up 10 Mb, but it is supplied
with some downloaded configurations, whether examples or ZIVerlog® user configurations,
which increase disk space requirements.

1.2.3 Ziverlog® Installation


®
ZIVerlog is supplied in a set of disks or CD-Rom for later installation into a PC.
 Installation from Diskette
1) Insert disk labelled “Disk 1”.

2) Execute file setup.exe.


 Installation from CD-ROM
Insert the CD-ROM. Sometimes, the installation application is executed directly when inserting
the CD into the reader. If this should be the case the next steps must be followed:

1. Identify in the CD-ROM the installation files of the ZIVerlog® version to be installed, as
more than one ZIVerlog® version or even some other application could exist. There could
be two different CD-ROM structures: a set of files named “Disk1”, “Disk2”, “Disk 3”,… or a
set of compressed files.

2. If the structure is a set of files named in sequence, open directory named "Disk1" and
execute file setup.exe. If files are compressed files launch file setup.exe.

The Equipment in the bay field shows equipment defined for the bay. This list is only for
information.
 Adding Bays
Press the New button to add new substation bays. All fields to be filled in with the new data
become blank. Then fill in at least the bay name and press the Add button.
 Deleting Bays
After selecting the substation, press the Delete button to delete the bay. The selected bay will
be deleted after checking the delete confirmation dialogue checkbox.

Note: deleting a bay implies deleting all bay equipment. It must also be noted that deleting equipment implies
deleting all the configurations generated for the same.

 Modifying Bays
To modify bay data we must select the substation bay to be modified and then modify field data.
Press the Modify button to make the modification effective.
 Copying Bays
After bay selection, press the Copy button to make a full copy of the bay. After checking the
copy confirmation dialogue box, the bay and bay equipment will be copied to the substation
selected from a screen with a list of all substations defined until now. Equipment numbers can
be altered in the copy, as in the same substation there cannot be two equipment with the same
number.

selected on the drop down list immediately below the bay list.

Protection or Control Equipment’s Data shows specific data of equipment defined for a bay.
Only the equipment model and number are compulsory.

All equipment deemed appropriate can be included, even equipment without any control logic or
not manufactured by ZIV. Nevertheless it is worth noting that no configurations can be
generated for said equipment.
 Adding Equipment
Press the New button to add
bay equipment. The following
fields with specific equipment
information will become blank:
Model, Protection Code,
Control Code and NOTES. Fill
in the model and then the

the model has not control logic
or the manufacturer is not ZIV,
there is no access to the
configuration editor. Pressing
the Cancel button quits the screen without saving. No matter how the equipment model is filled
in it is important to remember that, the field relative to the Equipment number must then be
filled in and that there will only be one number per model.
 Deleting Equipment
After selecting the equipment to be deleted, press the Delete button to delete the equipment.
The equipment selected will be deleted after checking the delete confirmation dialogue
checkbox. It must be remembered that deleting equipment implies deleting all control
configurations generated for the same.
 Modifying Equipment
To modify equipment data we must first select the substation, the substation bay and the
equipment and then modify the data. Then press the Modify button to make the modification
effective.
 Copying Equipment
After selecting the equipment, press the Copy button to make a full copy of the equipment. After
checking the copy confirmation dialogue box, the equipment will be copied to the desired
substation and bay. The latter will be selected through screens with a number of lists containing
all the substations defined until now and available selected substation bays. The equipment
number can be altered in the copy, as there cannot be two equipment with the same number for
one substation.

Chapter 2. Application Development

The purpose of the present Chapter is defining the configuration to be created. First, note that
configurations can be defined in two different ways: creating a new configuration or modifying
an existing configuration. Second, note that configurations, no matter which way they are
defined, consists of 3 parts: logic, SL Diagram and Alarm System.

Out of the three separate parts, logic is the most important, as no configuration can exist
without logic. There could be configurations with no SL diagram, but this must be stated
allocating the nil SL diagram from the list of available SL diagrams.

Also, there could be configurations with no alarm system, but this must also be stated,
allocating an alarm system to the configuration and then when defining the alarm system,
stating it has no alarm system (see Chapter 2.4).

2.1.1 Equipment Selection


From the General menu screen, select the Equipment option to display a screen to access the
different equipment entered into each substation.

This way, to access for


example the configuration of
equipment Nr. 0 of a given
substation, select the
applicable substation from the
Substation drop down list;
then, select the applicable
equipment bay from the Bay
drop down list and finally, select
equipment Nr. 0 from the
Equipment List. A number of
fields can be found beneath the
selection lists, which show data
of the equipment currently
selected, and that the right
equipment has been selected.
Clicking OK displays a new
screen, with the general menu
shown below. Clicking Cancel
returns to the previous screen.

This menu includes the following options:

- Quit. Returns to the first screen.


- Edit configurations. A drop down menu appears with two options:

2.1-2
BLOG1309A
ZIVerlog: Configuration Program
 ZIV GRID AUTOMATION, S.L. Zamudio, 2013
2.1 Configuration Definition

- Configurations. This option enables reading and modifying selected equipment


configuration settings.
- New Configuration. This option enables designing a new configuration for the selected
equipment.

2.1.1.a Compile Configurations


Enables generating an ASCII
code to check the designed
configuration and the
configuration of the binary code
with a user-entered version to
be sent to the equipment.

It also enables: configuring the


terminal equipment sending the
designed configuration code
through the local port, creating
and reading backup copies of
downloaded files, obtaining
information with the possibility
to delete configurations and
verifying controls or
identification numbers
associated to the logic, configuration and SL diagrams to check whether the configuration
downloaded into the equipment corresponds or not with what has been designed in a given
version.
 Utilities
A drop down menu appears with two options, backups and Info.

- Backups. It consists at the same time of two options:


Configurations. One or more existing source files for the selected model can be saved
or deleted. They can be saved to disk, deleted from said disk or directly deleted from the
hard disk of the PC where the program is being run.
Compilations. Same actions as described for section Compile Configurations are
allowed, but here the possibility for proper compilation of configurations is restricted.
- Info. Enables to produce different reports on generated configurations.

2.1.2 New Configuration


Selecting New Configuration displays on top of the screen the substation and the equipment
and model for which a new configuration is to be generated.

The configuration is fully


determined by filling in the
following fields:

- Configuration field:
configuration identifier.
- SL Diagrams Available
field: bay SL diagrams.
- Alarm System field:
identifier of Alarm
System used.
- Logic Field: identifier of
logic used.

2.1.2.a Configuration
The Configuration field will be blank. Place the cursor in the box and enter the identifier code
of the configuration to be designed.

A short summary of the configuration characteristics may be entered into the Description of
the Configuration box. This description will be useful for later screens, in way of identifying this
configuration in a more intuitive way than through its identifier.

2.1.2.b SL Diagram
SL diagrams can be managed
either by creating a new
diagram or else modifying an
existing diagram. Thus, the SL
diagram associated to the new
configuration can be selected
from the SL Diagrams
Available if it has already been
designed. Otherwise, display
the Editor of SL Diagrams
from the General
Configuration menu (first
menu of the program). With this
Editor of SL Diagrams any desired graphic presentation can be created. First, a screen
(above) will show up and already created SL diagrams displayed and then edited pressing Edit,
it being possible to delete the SL diagram selected from the list of created diagrams pressing
Delete.

Pressing Edit on the SL Diagrams Available screen displays a new screen, the Editor of SL
diagrams properly speaking, which contains the following menus:
 Single Line Diagram
New One Line Diagram:
enables the menus required to
create a new one line diagram.
Open One Line Diagram:
displays an already created one
line diagram for possible
modifications.
Save One Line Diagram:
saves the created or modified
one line diagram and allows
allocation of versions.
List One Line Diagram:
displays on screen a list of all
the elements constituting the
currently open one line
diagram, starting with “panel”,
“remote control” and following
with the rest of elements in the
same order they were entered at the time of creating the one line diagram. This will be the order
for element selection on the equipment graphic display.
Change display: displays a screen from which to select the one line diagram display format,
whether horizontal or vertical.
Exit: returns to the first screen (One Line Diagram Editor).
 Import Elements
Displays the following options:

Base: imports the base of one


line diagrams if created with
any application other than the
editor of one line diagrams, or
else with the editor of one line
diagrams itself (*.bmp) provided
it has been saved in black and
white.

Note: the base file must be included


®
into the ZIVerlog one line diagram
directory in order that it can be
accessed.

Selecting the base (file *.bmp) from the bases available and pressing OK returns to the Editor
screen, and the selected base appears on the display. Double clicking on it the position can be
changed modifying the coordinates.

2.1-5
BLOG1309A
ZIVerlog: Configuration Program

Chapter 2. Application Development

Element: After selecting the base, selecting this option displays a drop down list with all the
possible types of elements to be included into the one line diagram. Any time an element is
selected a screen is displayed to associate each possible element position with the final
representation into the one line diagram.

It comes, therefore, to press the


different element positions (in
the figure: open, closed and
unknown for a two position
circuit breaker) and allocate the
applicable graphic
representation. It is worth
mentioning that all graphic
representations must be the
same size.

After the allocation, the graphic


representation for each position
can be displayed. The figure
shows an open 2 position
circuit breaker.

Once the process for all possible element positions is completed, the element appears on the
left upper part of the display to be placed on the base at the desired position, using the scroll
arrows. To see the different positions select the object in question and press the tab key.

Delete base: deletes the one line diagram base shown on the display. Deletion is only possible
if no element has been introduced.
Delete selected elements: deletes selected one line diagram elements (to select, double click
on the element).
 Create Element
Displays the following options:

Create Base Representation: enables creating one line diagram base graphics if not saved
into the one line diagram directory.

Open Graphics: enables modifying one line diagram base or elements. Here it is worth
mentioning that modifying one element implies modifying the element at all positions.

Save Graphic: saves created bases or element modifications.

Return to Single Line Diagram: modifications on the display become effective or, if applicable,
the created base appears on said display.

 Options
Zoom In: after pressing open diagram, the selected element zooms in on the square grid for
modification on a pixel by pixel basis.

Zoom Out: returns the image to normal size. It is compulsory to save the graph and return to
one line diagram.

Element Frame: allows selecting whether to frame or not the selected element when it is
modified.

Also, the Editor of Single Line Diagrams allows:

- Knowing at any time the cursor position on the display through coordinates x, y.
- Changing the colour of the pixels being painted.
- Drawing straight lines or rectangles on the display when the zoom function is not
activated.
- Paint pixels at fixed positions, stating the coordinates and then pressing the Draw button.

The three last features may only be performed when the Create Element option is selected.

After creating the one line diagram, select Save Single Line Diagram on the Single Line
Diagram menu. Enter the name and version after the request from the program, and then select
Exit to return to the first screen (Single Line Diagram Editor), which displays the just created
diagram at the end of the SL Diagrams Available list. Description of the SL Diagram field will
show a summarised description of the selected SL diagram.

2.1.2.c Alarm System


As for the alarm system associated to the configuration, an existing alarm system can be
selected from the alarm systems created for any substation equipment. To this end, on the
Description of the Configuration screen, select the substation and the equipment under
Alarm System, so that in the Existing Alarm Systems list all alarm systems associated to said
equipment configurations will be available. When selecting one alarm system, the Identifier
field will be filled in with the name of said alarm system. This way that alarm system will be
allocated to the new configuration. Furthermore, selecting the alarm system and then modifying
its name in the Identifier field, the same alarm system with a different name can be allocated, so
that said alarm system will be used with a different name.

To create a completely new alarm system, select the New option from the Existing alarm
systems list (in the field under Alarm System on the Description of the Configuration
screen). After selecting the New option, enter the Identifier of the new alarm system to be
designed into the Identifier field.

2.1.2.d Logic
The same procedure used for alarm systems can be used for the Logic, both to configure
already existing logics and to create new ones.

Apart from creating new


configurations the alarm system
and the logic of a given
configuration can be renamed.
To this end, fill in the
Configuration field with the
name of the configuration the
names of which are to be
modified. After this, select from
the list of defined Alarm
Systems the one the names of
which are to be changed and
write the new name into the
identifier field. Same procedure
for logics.

After selecting all the configuration identifiers (both new and renamed), press the Save button to
save the data entered. If some fields remain unfilled messages appear highlighting the missing
elements. If the description of the configuration field is missing, selecting the Save option
displays a screen with the request to fill in the field; failure to do so results in a blank field on
later screens.

Last, entered data shall be confirmed through a dialogue screen with the options YES and NO.
Pressing NO the same screen remains to allow for changes. If the configuration is accepted,
press YES and then Exit. To exit the screen without saving the data press the Exit button.

As mentioned above, in order to define a configuration, the configuration identifier, alarm


system identifier, logic and SL diagram identifiers must be defined. After defining these
elements, whether new or copied from other configurations, exit the applicable screen and
select Edition of Configurations option from the menu, and then from this option,
Configurations, select the just defined configuration from the list of Configurations to be
Selected. Based on what has been defined in the paragraph above, the full configuration can
be made, as detailed later.

2.2.1 Introduction
The term logic refers to a set of functions performed by the equipment. These functions work on
a number of analog or digital signals and settings. For a better comprehension, structure and
maintenance, logic is divided into cards.

On the Configurations screen, select the configuration to be modified from all the available
configurations on the list. Selecting one configuration displays a screen, modify configuration
menu. Activate the Logic option.

2.2.2 Logic Cards


The screen displayed after the activation of the Logic option, Logic by Card, as well as all
other screens associated to Logic, show on the header the following fields identifying the
configuration to be modified:

- Configuration: identifier of the selected configuration.


- Logic: identifier of the cards logic shown on the screen.
- Model: identifier of the model the configuration of which is to be modified.

The screen shows all the


operators included into the card
stated in the field Card. A field
below the card identifier is used
to write text to summarize the
card function. Lines represent
operators schematically with
inputs, outputs and settings, the
latter in case they are used.

Operators perform basic


operations within the more
general card function. The
following table lists the
available operators to be used
into the logic and their main
characteristics.

2.2.2.a Selection of Logic Cards


Cards to be modified or simply displayed can be selected in two
different ways: with the scroll arrows or using the selection bar (just
below the scroll arrows).

Access to the different logic cards using the scroll arrows is in


sequence (inside arrows), following an established sequence, or direct
(first and last arrow) for the first and last card.

The selection bar allows selecting the desired card without scrolling.
The rest of access buttons are:

Modify: to modify selected card logic gates (or opcodes).


Add: to add one card to the logic, whether new or existing in other
logics.
Copy card: to copy the card displayed on the screen with a different
name.
Delete card: to delete the card displayed on the screen, with the
option of affecting all configurations or only the selected configuration.
Sort: to sort the cards according to user preference.
Connected: to establish connections between cards.

2.2.2.b Modification of Card Components


Specific characteristics of configuration cards can be modified. Card
modifications affect only the configuration for which the card was
entered, that is to say, if there should be cards with the same name
associated to other configurations, these will not be affected by the
modifications introduced into the selected card.

Select the card to be modified


from the screen Logic by
Card. Select from the middle
box the gate or opcode to be
modified and press the Modify
button to display the selected
card schematic screen.

2.2 Configuration Logic

In the same screen card operators can be scrolled using the arrow keys. In addition there are
four buttons for card definition as follows:

Add: adds inputs / outputs or operator settings.


Delete: deletes the card operator.
New: allows entering a new card operator.
Sort: selects operator execution sequence.
 Modify Operators
To modify specific operators, once the operator is displayed on the screen, overwrite the
previously defined operator inputs and settings in the boxes. Modify in the same way input and
output negations or the selection of settings activated on leading edge (i.e. activated on 1.05
times the signal value) or trailing edge (activated on 0.95 times the signal value).

The maximum number of signals available is shown in the operator description table in this
same chapter. On the other hand, only a few limitations exist to allocate names to tags as
follows:

- Operator input tags must start with the letter E_, except for card internal signals that start
with the letter R_.
- Operator output tags must start with the letter S_, except for card internal signals that
start with the letter R_.
- Operator setting tags must start with the letter A_.

If edges are not reached a negative acknowledgement notice is displayed. Once modifications
are completed press the Add button to make them effective.
 Create a New Operator
To create a new operator select the New button, after which all the boxes will be empty and the
operators list accessible, so that operator identifiers can be selected and the desired signals
entered. Updating changes with the Add button creates a new card operator.
 Delete Operators
If the operator displayed on the screen is to be deleted, press the Delete button. A confirmation
dialogue box appears. Once confirmed, the operator modification screen will display the next
operator.

 Sort Card Operators


Once the desired operators have been modified, or new ones created if required, said operators
can be sorted to be executed in a user-defined sequence. To this end, press the Sort button to
display the screen below.

As new operators are being


created, these are placed at the
end of the Cards from Logic
Sorted by Actual Command
list. To modify this sequence
select one by one the operators
on that list pressing the
Connect button after the
selection. To undo any step,
press the Disconnect button,
the element will return into the
original list with the actual
command sequence. The
Disconnect All button undoes
all the steps at the same time.

Once all the operators have been place in the list to the right, press the Reorganize button to
update the internal indices of said elements. When performing this operation a dialogue box
request is displayed "CONFIRM REORGANIZING?". After confirming the modifications, the
new operators list is placed in the list to the left, which may be reorganized again.

Once all the desired changes have been introduced in the actual command sequence, press the
Exit button to return to the card operator modification screen. From this screen, once the
desired modifications have been introduced, press the Exit button to return to the Logic by

selected on the screen can be deleted.
Pressing the Delete card button displays a
dialogue window. Pressing Yes displays the
warning window represented below.

It is worth mentioning that after a card is


deleted, all connections with the rest of
elements are deleted, so that, after
performing this operation, all signs
associated to the card must be reviewed:
Connect, Physical address, SL Diagram
and Tags. Pressing Cancel cancels the
delete operation.

After accepting delete, a new warning


window displays, which reminds that, after
deleting cards, these must be sorted again.
Pressing Ok deletes the card and a new
deletion completed notice is displayed when
the operation has been completed.

2.2.2.f Sort Cards


Cards sequence can be
modified as per the priority
allocated to the execution of
their functions. On the other
hand, after any deletion or
addition, cards must be sorted
again to keep their internal
indices consecutive not to loose
any pointer.

Cards are sorted on the above represented screen, which is displayed pressing the Sort button.
Finally, the card sorting process is the same as the process described to sort the operators (see
Sort Card Operators).

2.2 Configuration Logic

2.2.2.g Card Connection


In order for the set of cards
constituting the logic to be
consistent, it might be required
to identify connections between
cards. Said connections are
implemented through the
screen represented to the right,
which is displayed pressing the
Connect button. On this screen
the following fields can be
accessed by the user:

Source Card: selects the card


the output of which is to be connected to the input of a card in the Object Card list.
Output to be Connected: selects one output of the card in the Source Card field.
Input to be Connected: selects one input of the card in the Object Card field.
Object Card: selects the card the input of which is to be connected to the output of a card in the
Source card list.
Connections Performed: selects one connection between existing cards to be operated with
Connect or Eliminate buttons.

Accessible buttons are:

- Connect. Pressing this button connect signals shown in Outputs / Inputs to be connected
fields corresponding to the cards shown in Source / Object cards.
- Eliminate. Pressing this button deletes the connection between signals selected with the
cursor shown in Connections Performed field.
- Auto. Performs an automatic connection of all cards.
- Exit. Returns to the first Logic by Card screen.

The connection between cards can be done in two different ways: automatic or manual.
 Automatic Connection
The automatic connection is used to directly connect card outputs to card inputs, such that all
cards are interrelated. This automatic connection is done provided the signals have the same
name except for the prefix E_,S_.

E_xxxx will be connected to S_xxxx provided the names (xxxx) coincide, the unmatched
signals remaining unconnected. To this end, with no need for any selection, press the Auto
button.

Sometimes this way of connecting signals is not enough, or the user wants the connection to be
done in a different way, for which a manual connection is used, connecting signals one by one
even if they have different names.
.

 Manual Connection
For manual connection follow the below stated steps:

1. Select from the Source


card field list the cards
the output of which is to
be connected to other
card.
2. Select the logic output of
the selected source card
among the possible
outputs displayed in the
Output to be connected
field list.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2
with Input to be connected and Object card fields respectively.
4. After selecting the desired signals, press the Connect button. The connection appears in
the last position of Connections performed list.

In the example represented on the screen, if Connect is pressed, the following information
appears in the last line of Connections Performed:

Salida S_I52AB (ficha: EST_52-S)Entrada: E_ORG-A52 (ficha EST_52-S)

Note: if after a manual connection the Auto button is pressed, the connection is done in auto mode and
previous connections are deleted.

If manual connections are to be made when a new logic is being designed, it is advisable doing
an automatic connection first and then carry out the appropriate modifications in manual mode.
 Delete Connections
For deleting connections follow the below stated steps:

1. Select from the Connections Performed field list the connection to be deleted.
2. Press the Delete button. The connection is removed from the Connections Performed
list.

2.3.3 Allocation of System Element Signals


Clicking on any of the system elements displays the screen represented below. The screen is
the same for all system elements, the only difference being that the top of the screen contains
the specific element name, description, and the description of input and output signals adapted
to each element. Necessary buttons to modify the system element are:

Connect. To allocate element


position or their local
commands to a specific signal
to activate them.

Replace. Replaces the existing


connection for the selected
position by the signal at that
time on the field Available
Connections to the Element
Inputs or outputs, as
applicable.

2.3.3.a Description of Connections Fields


 Available Connections to the Element Inputs
To select a given system element input signal from all the available signals in the logic outputs
bar. Selection bars are:

- Available Logic Outputs: lists logic outputs identifiers.


- Available Logic Settings. Some logic cards need to include delay times, analog or
boolean values. These values (settings) are fixed but user configurable from the
alphanumeric equipment display (protection subsystem). Logic settings are normally used
by system elements as delay times before sending command failure’ messages.
- Available Direct Connections. Other signals can be configured as system element
inputs:
ED + T. + F. In this selection bar any of the physical inputs (ED), TRUE, FALSE or NULL,
corresponding to the applicable fixed value input can be selected independently form the
logic. The NULL input us used when no value is needed for that input, as when a SL
diagram is being modified and there is an input that should not exist, but is kept because
it exists into the other SL diagram.
EP + LP. Logic inputs from the protection and protection LEDs.
ESC. Writing signals from communications.

 Available Connections to the Element Outputs


This field allows allocating an existing logic input signal to each system element output signal
from all available signals in the following selection bar:

- Available logic inputs. Signals activated by given system element positions become
part of the logic as input signals. These signals are single commands.
 Element Inputs and Outputs
This field displays the list of connections between element input and output signals and the
positions activated by said signals.

2.3.3.b Configuration of System Element Inputs / Outputs


All system elements have a number of positions defined as a function of the type of element. A
three-position breaker, for example, has the following positions, which can be seen in the
Element Inputs and Outputs:

- Breaker open (element input signal).


- Breaker closed on busbars (element input signal).
- Breaker closed to earth (element input signal).
- Breaker position unknown (element input signal).
- Busbar breaker locked closed on interlock (element input signal).
- Busbar breaker locked closed on remote position (element input signal).
- Busbar breaker locked open on interlock (element input signal).
- Busbar breaker locked open on remote position (element input signal).
- Earth breaker locked closed on interlock (element input signal).
- Earth breaker locked closed on remote position (element input signal).
- Earth breaker locked open on interlock (element input signal).
- Earth breaker locked open on remote position (element input signal).
- Local busbar breaker open command (element output signal).
- Local busbar breaker close command (element output signal).
- Local earth breaker open command (element output signal).
- Local earth breaker close command (element output signal).
- Busbar breaker close command failure (element input signal).
- Busbar breaker open command failure (element input signal).
- Busbar breaker close command failure (element input signal).
- Busbar breaker open command failure (element input signal).
- Command failure delay time (System element setting).

These positions can be activated by logic output signals, physical inputs, protection inputs,
writing signals or TRUE, FALSE and NULL. Some positions (element outputs), are connected
to logic input signals. The first word of lines in Element inputs and outputs field shows if
system element positions are to be connected to an input signal, an output signal or a setting.
Namely, if this first word is entrada, then a connection to an output signal is required and the
opposite.

Initially, connections of the applicable positions are not established, so that the field mentioned
in the paragraph above will display the following for each position:

Input: BUSBAR BREAKER CLOSE COMMAND FAILURE= NO CONNECTION

 Add Connection
In order to associate a given signal to a system element position, first select the position to
which a given connection is to be allocated. If the position corresponds to a system element
input or setting, select signals from Available connections to the element inputs. Pressing
the Connect button associates the selected signal to the position in the Element Inputs and
Outputs field list.

If the position of the system element to be configured corresponds to one of the element’s
output signals, one of the signals in the Available logic inputs list will be selected. After
selecting the corresponding signal and the position to which the signal is to be allocated, press
Connect. Once the proper changes are made, press Exit to return to the screen displaying the
SL diagram.
 Replace Connection
If the configuration has previously been designed and a given position connection is to be
modified, proceed as described in the previous paragraph, except that in this case Replace
instead of Connect must be pressed.

2.3.3.c Element’s Attributes


The first section below element description in the Connections screen corresponds to element
Attributes and includes:

- Hidden. Hides any selected element not to appear in the equipment graphic display after
loading the configuration.
- Non selectable. Makes the element in question non-selectable on the equipment graphic
display. By default, when a new configuration is created, elements appear as non-
selectable.
- Initial status. Furthermore, incorporates a drop down list with the different positions the
system element may adopt by default. The position selected will be the position of the
element at the time the equipment is configured, before the first logic cycle is executed.

2.6 Physical Address

2.6.3 Logic Settings Connections


Selecting Settings on the Physical Address option list (see paragraph 2.6.1) displays the
screen represented to the right.

This screen is similar to the


screens associated with the
connections between output /
input logic and physical signals;
they only differ in that instead of
inputs or outputs, appear
settings, and automatic
connections are not possible.

 Setting Connection / Disconnection


Available physical settings for connections are defined in Chapter 2.5. These settings are of two
types:

- User Settings: AJT, AJB, AJH, AJP, AJA. These are user-defined logic settings.
- Internal Settings: AJR. Settings calculated by the logic. These types of settings do not
allow allocating two logic settings to the same physical setting.

To connect available logic settings to available physical settings defined in the settings section
follow the same procedure as for the connection of a logic output / input signal to a physical
output / input signal. Details for said connections are explained in previous paragraphs of this
same Chapter.

number of fields described and explained below:

- Configuration: Identifier
of the configuration to be
created or modified.
- Model: Identifies the
model the configuration
of which is to be
modified.
- Type of Tag: divided into
three groups, as a
function of the message
used to communicate
with the central unit,
each group is used to
transmit a specific type of
signals.
o ISC tags. Used to
transmit physical inputs (ED), protection inputs (EP), local commands (OL), calculated
digital states (EDC) and protection LEDs (LP).
o ISE tags. Used to transmit single commands (OS), also known as controls.
o ISS tags. Used to transmit write signals (ESC).
- User Assigned Values. This field shows the tag to be assigned (tag number), a tag
description (if applicable) and the corresponding logic signal to be transmitted.
- User’s Tags Status: assigned tags list.

Selecting the group of tags to be assigned in the Type of Tag field, the User’s Tags Status list
will be empty if the configuration is being created. If an existing configuration is being modified,

2.7.4 Description of the Analog Tag Configuration Screen


In some communications protocols, analog tags (protection measures, for example) are always
sent to Remote and, besides, in a given sequence, so that in these protocols there is no need
for analog tag configurations. However, there are other protocols for which transmission of
these measures or a specific sequence is not needed, so that, if they are to be sent to Remote,
this must be done through configurable analog tags from the Ziverlog.

Selecting Analog, in the Local Scada option of the configuration modification menu (see
paragraph 2.7.1), displays a screen represented below.

This Analog Signal to Send to


Remote screen includes a
number of fields described
below:

- Configuration: Identifier
of the configuration being
created or modified.
- Model: Identifies the
model the configuration
of which is being made.
- Type of signal: divided
into three groups as a
function of the type of
signal:
o Measures: identifies protection channels, metering cards, input converters and
existing calculated analog states.
o Settings: used to send settings.
o Counters: used to send the counters used.
- User assigned values: this field shows all the values that can be sent. The available
lists depend on the type of signal selected in the Type of signal field. The unit of
calculated analog states is not known beforehand, so that a list for the selection of the
selected EAC unit is included.
- User’s tags Status: final list of the assigned tags to be sent to remote, except that the
protocol sends the same by a different method.

Selecting the group of tags to be assigned in the Type of Tag field, the User’s Tags Status list
will be empty if the configuration is being created; If an existing configuration is being modified,
said list will contain all tags belonging to the selected type, assigned to the signals to be
transmitted through communications.

User Assigned Values lists contain all possible values for the model being configured and,
besides, if these are being used by the logic, the lists will show the logic tag to which they are
connected.

Buttons available in the Analog Signal to Send to Remote are:

- Assign: to add a tag to the list of configured tags to be sent through communications.
- Eliminate: to delete a tag from the User’s Tags Status list.

2.7.5 Modify Analog Tags


To modify existing tags or create new tags, proceed as follows:

If no tags are created, select the type of tag to be generated; then, select the desired value from
the User Assigned Values lists. In the Tag Number field assign the corresponding tag value
and then press the Add button. If when trying to assign a tag, it is already in the assigned tags
list, it will be modified with the new assigned value.

When assigning a tag, the User's Tag State field shows a new line, which, as for digital tags,
contains the tag identifier, the type of tag, the logic signal and the units.

To delete a tag from the list, select the line to be deleted from the User’s Tags Status field and
then press Eliminate. After the modifications, press Exit to return to the configuration
modification menu.

2.8.1 Compile the Configuration


Prior to sending the configuration to the terminal equipment all entered data must be compiled.
This process is carried out from the configuration definition menu activating the Compile
Configurations option.

Pressing said option displays


the screen represented to the
right.

A field at the top of the screen


shows the selected equipment
model the configuration of
which is to be compiled and,
the Accessing to field reads,
“configurations saved into the
ziverlog program”, thus
showing from where data are
being obtained (in this case the
ZIVerlog program).

2.8 Configurations Management

2.8.2 Types of Compilation and Information


The Configuration field drop down list contains all existing configurations of the equipment
shown on top of the screen. Select a configuration and then press the desired button to:

- Compile Binary.
Compiles the
configuration generating
the binary code, which is
the code introduced into
the equipment. If errors
occur the compilation
review will not be
generated and said
errors will be displayed
on screen.
- Compile Ascii. This
compilation is only valid
to check for errors. If no
errors are present details
of the configuration to be
sent to the equipment
can be reviewed. If errors
are present a screen
identical to the screen
displayed when trying to compile binary will be displayed.
- Info. Displays the identifiers of the configuration, logic, SL diagram, and alarm system of
the selected configuration, apart from some additional description, as the version and
description (as applicable), as shown to the right.

2.8.3 Send the Configuration to the Equipment


The Versions field appears in the second place of the Compilation screen. Said field is used to
send configuration binary codes to equipment.

The drop down list includes all the existing binary code versions for the same configuration
(already selected in the corresponding field). The DESCRIPTION OF THE CONFIGURATION
VERSION field displays the notes introduced when generating the version binary code. Two
options are available for the selected version:

- Configure. Pressing this option


displays a confirmation dialogue
window. Selecting No returns the first
Compilation screen.
- Delete: Deletes the selected binary
code version of the configuration in
question.

Before confirming the transfer, connect the equipment and select control mode in the
CONFIGURE EQUIPMENT menu option of the alphanumeric display.

Chapter 2. Application Development

During the configuration transfer, if the port is not connected to the equipment or is engaged by
other application, an error message "EQUIPMENT CONNECTION ERROR" or “UNSUITABLE
HARDWARE” appears.

If the connection has been correctly established, after the transfer the equipment is ready to
operate through the control subsystem with the loaded configuration.

The CHECKPOINTS field


shows the logic, SL diagram
and configuration “checksums”
to check coincidence with what
has been loaded into the
equipment. This can also be
checked in the equipment
pressing the Relay info button
where, apart from the
“checksums”, information on
the model and configuration,
logic, SL diagram and alarm
system identifiers is obtained
pressing the Ask the
equipment for information
button. If the port is not
connected to the equipment or
is engaged by other application,
an error message
"EQUIPMENT CONNECTION
ERROR" appears.

2.8.4 Backups Management


The following operations related to backups management can also be made from the
Compilation screen:

- Create Backup. Creates a copy of the binary compilation of the selected ZIVerlog®
configuration into a specified folder or floppy disk.
- Read Backup. Reads a binary file from the specified folder or floppy disk and displays on
screen the saved equipment configurations for deletion or transfer to the terminal
equipment, as described in the last section.

The ACCESSING TO field shows directory paths to reach the *.bin file, to highlight that the
information source is not the ZIVerlog® program. To return to the initial situation just press the
same button used to read the backup, now with the inscription Read Source in it.

Backups management can also be made from the configuration definition menu, selecting the
Utilities option and then, Backups and Compilations.

2.8 Configurations Management

A screen identical to the Compilation screen is displayed, except that only equipment
configuration and management of already generated binary codes is possible, as already
described in the present and last sections.

The reason for this double option is to establish different access levels to the ZIVerlog®, so that
given users can access the backups management only through this second option,
configurations being therefore restricted for said users. The same screen has been kept for
simplicity reasons.

2.8.5 Transfer the Configuration to Physical Support


Pressing the Equipment option in the first menu of the ZIVerlog®, select the hardware model
the configuration or configurations of which are to be saved into floppy disk (source files), or the
database of which is to be deleted or updated with floppy disk files. The model is an extract
from the selected commercial equipment model. E.g., it will be 7IRDA01 for model
7IRDxxxxxxA01xx.

Selecting the equipment displays the first configuration menu. Select the Utilities, Backups
option and then Configurations. This displays the Configurations Management screen.
Through this screen, from the different accessible units, the configuration or configurations
associated to said model can be selected to be saved, deleted or updated.

2.8.5.a Update / Delete / Backup


The Configurations Management screen, to the right, consists of the following fields:

- Available
Configurations. List of
available configurations
for the previously
selected equipment, with
description and
configuration identifier or
Code.
- Target folder: this field
shows the unit on which
the configuration is to be
copied or updated.
- Source folder: in this
field the unit from which
a given configuration is
to be read is selected.
- Configuration detail: this field shows the logic, model, SL diagram and version and
alarm system identifiers of the configuration selected in the Available Configurations
list.

list in the Available Configurations field. In this case all equipment configurations the
model of which coincide with the equipment hardware model for which some are to be
updated, are extracted from the source folder.
- Create / Update folder. Saves into the unit specified in Target folder the configuration
selected in the Available Configurations list.
- Delete. Deletes from the unit specified in Source folder the configuration selected in the
Available Configurations list. It can only be deleted from C:\.
