NE WIN
V2.5.0
User Manual
1. Brief description
DIA.NE WIN is a Windows-based man/machine interface for GE Jenbacher gas engines. The system
offers both customers and GE Jenbacher maintenance staff a wide range of facilities that assist in the
commissioning, ongoing servicing, monitoring and maintenance of gas engines and for diagnostic
purposes.
DIA.NE WIN makes it possible to operate and monitor the engines not only on-site using a notebook or
an on-site stationary desktop PC but also remotely. The remote operating station can be connected to the
on-site computer via a local area network, a dial-up connection or the Internet. A number of operating
stations can be operated in parallel, and independently of one another.
GE Jenbacher has used state-of-the-art technology to develop DIA.NE WIN. DIA.NE WIN expands the
functionality of DIA.NE XT when it comes to ease of operation, historical data analysis and remote control
of the installation. DIA.NE WIN is the latest in PC-based systems and offers accessibility via standardised
interfaces.
The system is built around a fast industrial PC (server) which is integrated into the switch cabinet of the
installation and which stores historical data and generates alarms. This computer also functions as a web
server and modem server. Standard PCs, running Microsoft Internet Explorer and connected to the
server, are used as DIA.NE WIN operating stations (clients).
DIA.NE WIN is supplied as an option (application) combined with HERMES for DIA.NE XT installations.
Microsoft Internet Explorer is used as a platform for the DIA.NE WIN user interface. You start the DIA.NE
WIN application by activating Internet Explorer and entering the appropriate DIA.NE WIN server address.
Before you can activate the DIA.NE WIN application for the first time, you must check the system
requirements and install the installation in accordance with the Installation instructions.
Caution: When launching the web application you should always activate its top-level address (e.g.
"http://172.31.200.100") and not a subordinate group (e.g.
"http://172.31.200.100/1000W_A_02/displays/DEU/frame/main.asp?EngineIndex=1"). You should take
particular care when links are stored in Explorer as favourites.
Addresses
Customers access the DIA.NE WIN server via the local plant network (PLANT NET), a modem
connection (dial-up connection) or the Internet. Direct access via the control network (PLC NET) is
intended for GE Jenbacher staff only. The following addresses have been preset for the DIA.NE WIN
server:
Control
Plant network network
server (PLANT NET) Modem Internet (PLC NET)
DIA.NE WIN 172.31.200.100 * 10.200.200.1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
server 1
DIA.NE WIN 172.31.200.101 * 10.200.200.2 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
server 2 **
Depending on the type of connection used to connect to the DIA.NE WIN server (see Network structure
and interfaces), you must use the appropriate address to launch the application.
*) The addresses indicated are preset as a default. If integrated into an existing customer network, the
plant network address is changed to the customer network (must be preset by the customer).
**) A second DIA.NE WIN server is used in multi-engine plants with more than 8 engines.
RDT connection
If you do not have a direct connection to the DIA.NE WIN server via a local area network (LAN) but would
like to establish a modem connection via the telephone system, you will have to set up a corresponding
RDT connection (dialing into a private network). You will find instructions on setting up RDT connections
in the help function of your operating system.
You must establish the RDT connection before you can launch Internet Explorer and enter the address of
the DIA.NE WIN server.
Caution: Don't forget to disconnect the RDT connection when you end the session!
Command parameters
You can preselect a language by entering the parameter "LANG". In multi-engine installations, you can
preselect an engine by entering the parameter "ENGINE". The first parameter is typed added at the end
of the actual address, separated by a question mark (?). Each further parameter is separated by an
ampersand (&). If no parameters are specified at startup, the application will start in the default language
English (GBR) and with Engine 1 (M01).

4. Installation guide
The DIA.NE WIN web application is based on technologies which, for security reasons and to prevent
misuse, should not be enabled for unknown websites. However, to ensure that your computer can be
used as a DIA.NE WIN operating station, you can add the address of the DIA.NE WIN server to the
"Trusted sites" zone and adjust it to comply with the security settings for this zone. Please note that these
settings will then be used for all "Trusted sites".
Click the [Sites...] button to activate the dialogue box for adding websites to the Trusted sites zone.
Click [Add] and the address of the DIA.NE WIN server is added to the trusted sites. Caution: The
[Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone] option must be in order for the domain to
be added! Next, please exit Internet Explorer and restart. Once the DIA.NE WIN server has been added
to the trusted sites, Internet Explorer must display the "Trusted sites" zone at the bottom right of the
status line when the DIA.NE WIN server is selected.
Select the [Trusted sites] security zone and click the [Custom Level] button. Set the security level for
this zone to the default security level "Very low". If this button has been disabled, this means that the
default level is already set.
After this, click the [Custom Level...] button to reset all the user-defined settings. Next, enable the
[Initialise and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe] option.
Then close this dialogue box by clicking [OK]. Confirm the security question that appears by clicking
[Yes].
To call up the dialogue box below, choose the [Internet Options...] command in the [Tools] menu. Then
select the [Connections] tab.
If a proxy server has been entered, click the [Advanced...] button to activate the following dialogue box.
Type the address of the DIA.NE WIN server in the[Exceptions] edit box. If it already contains other
addresses, add the address of the DIA.NE WIN server, separated by a semicolon (e.g.:
"xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;172.31.200.100").
If an RDT connection has been configured, [Dial whenever a network connection is not present]
should have been selected. If not, whenever you open Internet Explorer, the RDT connection is always
selected, which then tries to reach the DIA.NE WIN server on the dial-up connection.
administrator rights, you will have to contact your administrator and ask him to complete the installation.
Please note that the previous settings described above must first also be entered for the "administrator"
user.
When the computer launches the DIA.NE WIN web application for the first time, the DIA.NE WIN Client
Controls must be installed using the [Downloads] button. The following screen contains the link for
starting the installation.
1 Control network
The control network connects the engine controls (DIA.NE XT) to the DIA.NE WIN server. A second
DIA.NE WIN server is used in multi-engine plants with more than 8 engines. All participants within a
single network are arranged radially (Ethernet 10/100BaseT) around a single hub.
2 Plant network
In the case of multi-engine installations with more than 8 engines, the installation network interconnects
the two DIA.NE WIN servers. Once again, a radially arranged Ethernet network (Ethernet 100BaseT) is
used.
connection (Ethernet 100BaseT) for this purpose. In all other cases, the customer’s network is connected
directly to the network card (additional network cards) in the DIA.NE WIN server.
7 Interface: OPC
OPC (OLE for Process Control) is a standardised interface for data communication which is generally
used in automation and is supported by almost all control systems. Various process values are made
available on the DIA.NE WIN server as an OPC DA (Data Access) interface. In addition, messages
(Aalarms, Warnings and Operating notifications) are also provided as an OPC AE (Alarm and Events)
interface. These measurement data can be accessed by other control systems (OPC Clients).
Connection takes place via the installation network 2 .
6. OPC interface
General
OPC is a standard interface for accessing Windows-based ICT applications. OPC is now based on the
Microsoft Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM).
Various process values are made available to the OPC interface of the central computer (DIA.NE WIN
server) of our "DIA.NE WIN" visualisation system. The DIA.NE WIN server acts as OPC server in the
process.
Apart from the existing control-system related DIA.NE XT engine management interfaces, DIA.NE WIN
now offers our customers an easy-to-use method of integrating the data of our installation into any
existing visualisation or control system.
Please note: The OPC interface is deactivated on the server as a standard and can be activated via
Setup Console.
From a hardware point of view, a Ethernet 100Base-TX (IEEE 802.3u) based network coupling is used. In
the case of an installation network (multi-engine installations with more than 8 engines) a relevant
connection point (RJ 45 plug) for the customer's network is made available at the installation network
HUB (PLANT-NET). In all other cases, the customer's network is connected directly to the network card in
the DIA.NE WIN server (RJ 45 plug).
Network diagram
Application
The function of this interface is to couple (visualise) our installation data to the external visualisation or
control systems. These systems must be provided with a suitable OPC interface (OPC Client).
The interface is not suited to actually interconnect control systems but is meant to establish connections
at computer level between the DIA.NE WIN server (PC) and a superimposed visualisation or control
system. The interface is not suited to perform time critical and safety technical functions.
The interface is only available in combination with the DIA.NE WIN option.
All measurement values, setpoint values and counter readings are supplied in a normalised format in the
relevant units as a VT_R8 (8-byte floating comma) data type with a 1000 millisecond refreshing rate.
All counter readings are also offered as a VT_I4 (4-Byte Integer) data type.
The messages are offered as a VT_BOOL (Boolean 0/1) data type with a 100 millisecond refreshing rate.
Although all data points configured on the OPC server are offered when browsing automatically, only the
data points within the "Public" range can be accessed. The process data offered can only be read,
however. An authorisation to write within the dataset defined can only be obtained by concluding a
special agreement.
The data available can be obtained via the interface list. The data offered are e.g. measurement values
for generator power, oil pressure, oil temperature, cooling water pressure, cooling water temperature,
cylinder and collective exhaust gas temperatures, various counter readings, all error messages and
warnings, and various operating notifications informing you on the installation condition.
The messages made available are "Simple Events" of the "Condition related" type and "Discrete"
category according to the OPC specification.
All events having a priority below 650 are not meant for the OPC customer interface.
The messages available can be obtained via the interface list. All error messages and warnings are made
available, including some operating notifications informing you on the installation condition.
DCOM settings
The OPC Client (customer control system) can only request data from the DIA.NE WIN server (OPC
server) if DCOM is activated on the client computer (Enable Distributed COM on this computer) and the
DCOM authentication level (Default Authentication Level) is set to "None". You can set the DCOM
settings on you system using the "Dcomcnfg" program. To be ably to run this program, you must have
adminsitrator rights on the computer.
When a GE Jenbacher firewall is used, the ports to be used for DCOM for the TCP/IP protocol on the
client computer must be kept within the range 5000-5200. This is also the case with the "Dcomcnfg"
program. You can adjust the properties of the TCP/IP protocol accordingly under "Default Protocols".
When Windows XP is running on the client computer, a few security settings (Windows XP software
firewall, DCOM limitations) must be in place as they are required for communication via DCOM. For
information on the use of OPC under Windows XP and detailed information on OPC, go to
"www.opcfoundation.org".

OPC AE 1.0 for digital information
Data point update refreshment rate: 1000 ms for measurement values, setpoint values and counter
readings
100 ms for messages
OPC is based on the Microsoft Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM). All DCOM limitations
therefore also apply to this interface!
Data transmitted:
The data offered are e.g. measurement values for generator power, oil pressure, oil temperature, cooling
water pressure, cooling water temperature, cylinder and collective exhaust gas temperatures, various
counter readings, all error messages and warnings, and various operating notifications informing you on
the installation condition.
What is OPC?
Nowadays, OPC does not merely stand for "Object Linking Embedding for Process Control" – i.e.
applying the standardised Windows interface OLE or DCOM (Distribudet Component Object Model) to
exchange process data – but is interpreted more and more as "Openess, Productivity and Connectivity",
symbolising the new opportunities arising with it.

To launch the application DIA.NE WIN the user must log in. You can log in or out at any time from the
"Login" dialogue box which can be activated via the [user] or [Authorization] links in the bottom area of
the user interface. Logging out means that the authorisation level is reset to "Observer" and no
identifiable user is logged in.
If no operation (screen change or write command) takes place over a period of two hours, you will be
logged out automatically.
Temporary authorisation
The temporary authorisation can be used either once only for this login (user ID with corresponding
authorisation code) or for an authorisation restricted to 7, 14 or 21 days. This means that the operator can
be temporarily allocated a higher authorisation level on site, e.g. by telephone. Click the [Temporal ID]
button in the "Login" or "Start" dialogue box to generate a temporary identification number. This number
can then be used to issue a user with the appropriate authorisation for this once-only or time-limited login.

This button is only enabled if the operation mode selector switch is in "OFF" position and the user has
"Customer (10)" authorisation or higher.
Using the self-test function, you can test the ignition voltage supply of the ignition coils while the engine is
at standstill. The self test is automatically de-activated after 10 minutes.
The ignition points are displayed relatively, as a deviation from the general ignition points. If the ignition
point of a cylinder occurs in advance of the earliest permissible ignition point, the bar colour changes from
green to blue. If the ignition point of a cylinder occurs after the latest permissible ignition point, the bar
colour changes from green to red.
The values shown correspond to the crankshaft angle before the upper dead centre.
The ignition voltages are shown as absolute values. If an upper or lower limit is exceeded, the colours will
subsequently change.
The [Max] checkbox can only be activated when the ignition self-test has been switched on. If the
checkbox has been activated, the relative maximum values are displayed instead of the current ignition
voltages.
7 Output monitoring
If the ignition unit detects a failure at the output, the colour changes from green to red for two seconds. If
more than three output failures per second (this value can be set as a parameter) are detected, an alarm
(trip alarm) is generated in the alarm management system.
If the SAFI option is active, the following display appears instead of output monitoring:
OCA:
In the OCA system, each cylinder has a combustion chamber window. This window makes it possible to
measure and analyse the light produced during combustion. Any misfires can be detected in this way.
This screen shows the misfires, the light maximum values, measured by the OCA system and the ignition
voltages measured by the MONIC system. The power reduction caused by misfires is also shown.
1 Misfire Integrator
[Avg] Average misfire integrator value
[Max] Maximum misfire integrator value
[Min] Minimum misfire integrator value
2 Reset
By clicking this button, you can reset the misfire counter for all the cylinders. If the misfire counter reaches
a number in excess of 65535, the counter will automatically restart at zero.
3 Misfire frequency
Display for the electric misfire detection system. The electric misfire detection system can be activated as
an alternative to the OCA system.
5 Ignition voltages
[Avg] Average ignition voltage
[Max] Maximum ignition voltage
[Min] Minimum ignition voltage
6 Cylinder-specific display showing misfires, light maximum values and ignition voltages
In this bar graph you can select the [Misfire], [Light maximum] or [Ignition voltage] option to display
the values for each cylinder.
The light maximum display is used to determine the degree of contamination of the probes. Clean or
replace the probe if the light signal falls below 300 mV.
The misfire display shows the actual number of misfires counted for each cylinder. The corresponding
values in the bar graph are integrated signals, indicated as a percentage.
7 Power reduction
If power is reduced because of misfires, both the rated power [Nominal] and the setpoint reduced by the
misfire control system [Reduced] are displayed here. The bar display also shows the reduced power,
where 100% equals 0 kW and 0% equals rated power.
Each misfire is counted by a misfire integrator. The speed of counting and the resulting power reduction
can be influenced by the "Unload integration time" parameter. The speed of de-integration and therefore,
the restoration of the power reduction, is adjusted using the "Load integration time" parameter. If the
misfire integrator exceeds 50%, the permissible engine output is reduced, starting from the rated power.
If the misfire integrator reaches 100%, this means that the permissible engine output has already been
reduced to 50% and the engine is shut down as a result of misfiring failure. A misfire warning has been
issued as additional information. The response threshold for the misfire warning can be set using the
"Limit warning" parameter. You can find the parameters in the "Misfire" parameter group.
1 Misfire frequency
The misfire frequency is a combined value of the actual number of misfires counted and is shown as a
percentage.
When misfires are being detected, the green square turns red.
2 Power reduction
If power is reduced because of misfires, both the rated power [Nominal] and the setpoint reduced by the
misfire control system [Reduced] are displayed here. The bar display also shows the reduced power,
where 100% equals 0 kW and 0% equals rated power.
Each misfire is counted by a misfire integrator. The speed of counting and the resulting power reduction
can be influenced by the "Unload integration time" parameter. The speed of de-integration and therefore,
the restoration of the power reduction, is adjusted using the "Load integration time" parameter. If the
misfire integrator exceeds 50%, the permissible engine output is reduced, starting from the rated power.
If the misfire integrator reaches 100%, this means that the permissible engine output has already been
reduced to 50% and the engine is shut down as a result of misfiring failure. A misfire warning has been
issued as additional information. The response threshold for the misfire warning can be set using the
"Limit warning" parameter. You can find the parameters in the "Misfire" parameter group.
Valve noise is measured using the knock sensors of the KLS98. The signal thus measured is assigned to
a specific crankshaft angle range within which valve noise is likely to occur.
The screen is only displayed if the engine is fitted with the KLS98.
1 Valve noise
[Avg] Average valve noise
[Max] Maximum valve noise
[Min] Minimum valve noise
The display shows absolute values in millivolts. If, from half load on, a limit value of 50 mV (parameter) is
not reached, a corresponding warning (measurement signal failure in knock sensor) will be generated in
the alarm management system. If 50% of all measurement signals fail, the engine will also be shut down
because of KLS98 failure.
[Avg] If the checkbox is activated, this top-up is included into the average
calculation (see blue line at the end of the table).
[Date] Date of oil top-up
[Time] Time of oil top-up

The screen is displayed differently, depending on the components with which the engine is fitted.
KLS98:
Each cylinder in the engine is fitted with a sensor. The signals are analysed at the engine and the values
are transmitted to the control system via CAN-bus connection. The ignition point can be adjusted on
selected cylinders.
KLS90:
The engine is fitted with two sensors which transmit the information to the control unit as an mA signal.
GET:
A sensor is fitted for every two cylinders in the engine. The signals are analysed at the engine and the
values are transmitted to the control system as an mA signal.
KLS98:

2 Knocking intensity
[Avg] Average knocking intensity
[Max] Maximum knocking intensity
[Min] Minimum knocking intensity
3 Knock noise
[Avg] Average knock noise
[Max] Maximum knock noise
[Min] Minimum knock noise
Knocking intensity:
Knocking intensity is calculated from an integrated Knock noise signal and is displayed as an absolute
value as a percentage. If a value exceeds 10% ("ITP reduction start" parameter), the knock control
system will adjust the ignition point towards the late setting. If a value in excess of 50% is reached
("Power reduction start" parameter), the power will be reduced. If, despite the ignition point adjustment
and the reduction in the engine power, a 100% knocking intensity value is reached, the engine will be
shut down. In addition, the mixture temperature will be lowered where the installation control system
allows.
Knock noise:
Knock noise is the actual noise of combustion in a specific crankshaft angle window and is displayed in
absolute numbers of millivolts. If the "Knock limit" parameter is exceeded, the knock noise is detected by
the engine control system as actual knocking.
Ignition point:
The ignition points are displayed relatively, as a deviation from the general ignition points.
7 [Power reduction]
Display showing the rated power [Nominal] and the reduced power [Reduced].
Rated power is represented by 100% of the bar.
If GET is fitted, a signal will be displayed as a percentage for the knocking intensity.

As the time is automatically aligned between the DIA.NE WIN servers (in multi-engine installations with
more than 8 engines) and the DIA.NE XT control systems, changing the system time on the DIA.NE WIN
server changes the time across the entire system.
Caution: Changing the system time and the time zone directly affects the storage of data and messages.
If you make a substantial change (e.g. a number of hours), you must bear in mind that changing the time
could result in the deletion of stored historical data.
If the plant is operating properly, it should not be necessary to change the time, apart from a few minor
adjustments. Before the plant is commissioned, it is the task of the commissioning engineers to set the
time zone of the installation site.
Only users at "Advanced test engineer" authorisation level and above can change the time in hours and
the date.
Any time difference resulting from a geographical time shift should not be corrected by adjusting the
[Hour:] option but by selecting the correct time zone in the [Time zone:] list box.

hide the scales for the curves.
By pressing the right mouse button and moving the pointer up or down, you can stretch or compress the
Y axis of a particular curve or curves downwards, the scale having a fixed starting point. By pressing the
left mouse button and moving the pointer up or down, you can compress or stretch the Y axis of a
particular curve or curves upwards, the scale having a fixed end point. By pressing both mouse buttons
simultaneously and moving the pointer up or down, you can shift the start and end of the scale up or
down. You can use these functionalities to select the desired range of values for the curve (zoom).
Click the small icons ("x" or "cylinder number") next to the axes to show or hide the individual curves on a
particular axis.
In the case of online trends, you can click the icon to the right of the time axis to stop and start continuous
updating with real-time data.

Trend types:
Type Description
Historical The data are available retrospectively, starting from the present time, for the
specified time span (duration) and according to the specified recording cycle
(interval).
Historical, shutdown- The data are available retrospectively, for the last 20 shutdowns, starting
oriented from the time of the shutdown plus 5 minutes, for the specified time span
(duration) and according to the specified recording cycle (interval).
Online The trend lines are constantly updated with real-time data according to the
specified recording cycle (interval). The data relating to the prior history are
available retrospectively, starting from the present time, for the specified time
span (duration) and according to the specified recording cycle (interval). With
trends of the online type, data processes can be observed online in a similar
way to recorders. Online trends are also embedded in various screens
(Engine and Plant controller screens).
2 Time filter
When you select a trend, a time range is suggested automatically for the trend display. You can however
change the time range for which the trend data are to be loaded and displayed by specifying the starting
time [from] and end time [to]. To minimise the time required to load the trend, you should restrict the
time range as far as possible. This applies especially when data transfer rates between server and client
are low, i.e. in the case of a modem or Internet connection.
If a trend of the [- Trip] type has been selected, a list box for the time of shutdown appears instead of the
text box for the time range. You can then select the trend data for the desired shutdown. In this case, you
specify the time of shutdown plus 5 minutes. The time range is always 1 hour.
If a trend of the [- Online] type has been selected, you only have the option of selecting the starting time.
The end time is always the current time.
If you select a new time range you will have to reload the trend data by clicking [Load].
3 Curve selection
A maximum of 10 different curves (measurement values) can be displayed at the same time in the trend
display. Ten list boxes are therefore available from which to select the desired curves (measurement
values). Different measurement values are available, depending on the trend you have selected. When
you select the trend you want, the curve is preselected accordingly but you can change it as desired.
Tip: Where trends are selected that contain cylinder-specific data, such as exhaust gas temperatures or
ignition voltages, as well as selecting the individual data for each cylinder in the bottom list box, you can
also select all the data, e.g. [Cylinder temp. *] or [Ignition voltage cyl. *]. If you select this option, the
cylinder-specific data for all the cylinders (8 to 20) will be displayed in the same colour and with the same
Y axis in a single trend. The visibility of the individual curves can then be switched on or off for each
cylinder.
If you select a new curve (measurement value) you will have to reload the trend data by clicking [Load].
6 Load
After selecting the desired trend, time range and data, click this button to display the trend data as a

You can use the bar separating the trend menu from the trend display (by clicking it and using your
mouse to move it to the right or the left) to make the trend menu and trend display wider or narrower. This
means that the control elements on the menu are sometimes covered by the trend display.
12.1 General
The parameter management system contains all controller and configuration parameters, limit values,
measurement ranges of transducers, etc., arranged into groups and displayed in tabular form. If you have
the appropriate authorisation, you can change each parameter within its entry limits. Every change is
transferred directly to the control system. There the parameter data are stored in an area protected
against power failure. Changes to parameters have a direct effect on the operating mode of the engine or
installation components! By exporting the parameters to a file you can back up the parameters on the
DIA.NE WIN client. By carrying out an import you can upload the parameters back into the control
system.
Depending on your authorisation level, you can see different parameter groups. In addition, your write
authorisation is enabled or disabled, depending on your authorisation level.
Likewise, the parameter groups are displayed or hidden, depending on the configuration of the engines
and control systems (e.g. MONIC, KLS98, 2-gas operation, etc.).
The text of any parameter groups and parameters visible to users with "Customer (10)" authorisation is
displayed in the preset language. All other parameter text is always shown in English.
The following parameter groups are accessible to the "Customer" authorisation level and above:
Parameter group Description Note
[Exhaust] Parameters for the exhaust gas range
[Plant controller] Parameters for the plant controllers optional
[Gas proportioning valve] Parameters for the gas proportioning optional
valve
[Gasmixer] Parameters for gas mixers optional
[MONIC] Parameters for the MONIC ignition- optional

12.2 Exporting
The export function is used to save parameter settings to a file.
Users with "Test engineer (40)" authorisation and below can only export these settings when no
parameter group has been selected. In this case, the settings for all the parameters are backed up. When
you open the parameter management screen, no parameter groups are selected. You can use the arrow
symbol to switch back to this initial state.
Users with "Advanced test engineer (45)" authorisation and above can also perform a selective export of
parameter settings. The parameters in the selected parameter group(s) are exported.
You can only export parameters if you have first entered a valid engine number [Engine number]. Enter
the engine number [Engine number] in the "System data" screen. For control parts used for an entire
group of engines (ST, ...), the engine number [Engine number] is permanently set in the control
program. The following error message tells you that no valid engine number has been entered.
The following dialogue box appears when the parameter export has been completed. The export may
take a few seconds:
When you click the [OK] button, the file download dialogue appears. The 4 buttons listed below are
available:
"Open" This opens the file. As the file cannot be read or edited using a standard editor, this
function should not be used.
"Save" This saves the file to a specified folder in your operating station. By default, a name made
up of the application [Application] , engine name [Engine name] and engine number
[Engine number] is suggested.
However, you can also change the name.
"Abort" This aborts the parameter export and the parameters are not saved.
"Details" This displays the help function for downloading files.
Importing
The import function is used to load parameter data stored in a file (see Exporting) into the control system.
Users with "Customer (10)", "Advanced authorisation (15)", "Service (30)" and "Test engineer (40)"
authorisation can only import parameters when no parameter group has been selected. In this case the
settings for all the parameters are loaded. When you open the parameter management screen no
parameter groups are selected. You can use the arrow symbol to switch back to this initial state.
Users with "Advanced test engineer (45)" authorisation and above can also perform a selective import of
parameter settings. The parameters in the selected parameter group(s) are imported.
When you click the [Import] button, the following entry field appears:
Click the [Search] button to select the file you want. Only files with the "*.par" extension are accepted.
Click the [Next] button to transfer and read the file for import. During this process, the message [File
upload - please wait] appears in the dialogue box. When you have completed this process, the following
window is displayed:
* ... In the case of these items, the information on the file selected for import is displayed in the left-hand
column. The right-hand column contains the current information in the system. This provides information
on where the set of parameters was produced (e.g.: by an export to another system) and where it is to be
uploaded now.
Click the [Show details] button to display further details on the planned import process and the import
file. The detail display contains information on any parameters changed by the import process and in
what way, any parameters that could not be imported due to an error, and additional information stored in
the parameter file.
In the case described above, all the conditions for a parameter import have been met, so you can click
the [Finish] button to end the import process. Only then will the parameters be imported. To abort the
import process, click the [Cancel] button. To display further details, click the [Show details] button.
If one or more conditions for a parameter import are not met, the conditions which are preventing an
import are highlighted in RED. Lines highlighted inYELLOW denote a discrepancy between the import file
and the system, although it will still be possible to import the parameters.
For users with "Test engineer (40)" authorisation and below, to import the parameters there must be no
difference in the following information between the selected parameter file and the system. For safety
reasons, an import is only possible if the information is consistent.
