MODBUS protocol is used.

It supports the following features.

 Setting & Configuration changes

 Event & Waveform load

 Measurement & Status display

 Waveform File upload and convert

2.3. TECHNICAL APPENDIX

2.3.1. DNP3 CLASSES

There are four classes in DNP3. These are defined as follows:

0 Class 0 is not an event class. It is used when reporting current (static) data values and not
changes of state events.

Note: Setting a point to Class 0 will prevent the controller’s protocol handler from reporting
change of state events for that point to the master station. The point still remains accessible
through static data polls.

1 Class 1 used to report high priority events. Events in this class take precedence.

2 Class 2 used to report medium priority events.

3 Class 3 used to report low priority events.

The IECConfig tool allows the user to build custom mappings to suit their own application.

Points are added by selecting a row on one of the tabbed pages then doble clicking point
from the Configuration Tool. Points are deleted by selecting a row and pressing ‘Delete’.

The points listed in the Configuration Tool are determined by the firmware version
number.

 Up to 128 MSP Points

 Up to 32 CSC Points

 Up to 512 MME Points

 Up to 128 MIT Points

 Up to 32 MDP Points

5. WAVEFORM EVALUATION TOOL

5.1. OVERVIEW

The Waveform data upload from FTU through the above setting program are analyzed in
this evaluation tool. Graphs of currents/voltages and operation of protection elements are
displayed, and instantaneous/RMS current and voltage values, phase angles, circular phasor
diagram and time information at tracker position are presented. If 2 trackers one is moving
with left mouse button and the other with right mouse button are used, time difference
between two points is presented and it becomes the ruler for correct operation of protection
element as setting. And, harmonics up to 31st and THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) also
show up.

Recorded waveforms can be uploaded to FTUMan in local site. After uploading stored to
the COMTRADE file format. These waveform data saved as COMTRADE file format and
compatible with other analyzing tool.
 COMTRADE file

Comtrade (Common format for Transient Data Exchange for power systems) is a file
format for oscilloscopes data. It is used by many leading companies for the oscilloscopes used in
high voltage substations. It has been standardized by the IEEE.
