Chapter 1 Introduction
NOTE：This manual gives detailed operation instruction of RCSPC (also called DBG2000)
software for user. The equipment type displayed on the interface is just an example to
show the operating steps to communicate with the equipment using RCSPC software.
The actual protection equipment for user is application-specific.
1.1 Function
RCSPC software is developed for users to test and maintain the protection equipment on site,
which is kind of local HMI (Human Machine Interface) as RCS-900 serial and PCS-9690 serial
protective equipments. User can view real-time sampled values, read and modify settings, view all
kinds of report, and do tests through the RCSPC software compatible with MW (Microsoft
Windows) 95, WM98, WM 2000, WM ME and WM XP operation systems on a computer.
Besides this kind of local communication, user still can realize the local human-machine
communication with the relay through the keypad and LCD on the frontpanel of the equipment, or
realize the remote human-machine communication on a PC with the SAS (Substation Automatic
System) software via a RS-485 port.
1.2 Run Software
Run the software RCSPC with the double click on the executable file (RCSPC.exe).
If the connection succeeds between the equipment with computer via RS-232 port, the computer
screen will display as following figure. If user fails to connect the equipment to a local computer,
please modify the communication parameters of equipment and RCSPC software respectively to
make them matched.

RCS-978 serial transformer protections, RC-985 serial generator protection, RCS-985T(TM/TW)

serial transformer protections, and PCS-9690 serial management relays are equipped with this
function, and other RCS-900 serial protection equipments are not equipped.
WARNIING：When a equipment is in test mode, the trip circuit should remain
isolated to prevent accidental operation of the associated circuit breaker！
3.6.1 RCS-978 Serial
Before the test, the logic setting [En_Trp_TestMode] in the item “System-parameter” should be
set as “1” (i.e. “Enable”) to enable test function and the setting can be modified only through
RCSPC software shown in the following figure.
Figure 3.6-1 Display of settings configuration of RCS-978
This test function is composed of binary output test and SAS (substation automatic system)
communication test. Click the “Test mode” icon on the tool bar to enter test mode with a
dialog shown as the Figure 3.6-2.
1) Binary output test
Binary output test is used to check whether tripping output relays can operate correctly without
injecting analog currents and voltages.
Set the fist bit of the tripping matrix setting [TrpLog_Diff] as “1”, and then user can make the
differential protection operates by click the icon on the dialog. User can test all tripping output
relays by setting all bits of the setting as “1”,
2) SAS communication test
SAS communication test is used to check whether the SAS host computer can correctly receive
the message from the equipment without injecting analog currents and voltages.
3.6.1.1 Binary output test
Click the item to enter to tripping output test. Click the icon to make
differential protection operate, and the corresponding tripping output relays pick up which are
decided by the logic setting [TrpLog_Diff] with the icon changing to state from
state . User can check whether the corresponding contacts operate through a tool such
as multimeter.
Click the icon to make operated relays drop off, and then the icon state is also back to
original state .
Figure 3.6-2 Display of binary output test of RCS-978
3.6.1.2 Communication Test
The logic settings [En_Trp_TestMode] and [En_Comm_TestMode] in submen

“System-parameter” must be both set as “1” (i.e. “Enable”) to enable this function only through
RCSPC software.

Click the item to go to the communication test display as the following figure shows.
Click the icon of each test item and each event will be recorded in the equipment,
which is also sent to SAS host computer. User can check whether the message sent to SAS is
same to the corresponding record in equipment.
Figure 3.6-3 Display of communication test of RCS-978
3.6.2 RCS-985 Serial
Before the test, the logic setting [En_TestMode] in submenu “System Setting(*)” ->”Protection
Cofig” should be set as “1” (i.e. “Enable”), which can be modified only through RCSPC software
shown in the following figure, to enable the test function. Besides, the corresponding enabling
logic setting of a protection in the same submenu should be set as “1” to do the test.

Figure 3.6-4 Display of settings configuration of RCS-985
Click the “Test mode” icon on the tool bar to enter test mode with a dialog shown as the
Figure 3.6-2. The test items are classified according to different protected objects.
Figure 3.6-5 Display of test mode of RCS-985

This test function is used to check whether tripping output relays and signal relays (including
annunciation signal, remote signal and FDR signal) can operate correctly without injecting analog
currents and voltages. User can test all tripping output relays by setting all bits of some tripping
matrix logic setting, such as [TrpLog_Diff], to make all tripping output relays operate for testing.
Besides, contacts of CT/VT circuit alarm and other abnormalities can also operate in this test
mode.
Select the test item to click its icon and the corresponding output relays will pick up to
send all kinds of signals with the icon changing to state from state . User
can check whether the corresponding contacts operate through a tool, such as multimeter.
Click the icon to make operated relays drop off, and then the icon state is also back to
original state .
3.6.3 PCS-9690 Serial
Before the test, the logic setting [En_TestMode] in submenu “SYS SETTINGS”->”PROT CONFIG”
should be set as “1”, which can be modified only through RCSPC software, to enable the test
function. Besides, the corresponding enabling logic setting of a protection in submenu “SYS
SETTINGS”->”PROT CONFIG” should be set as “1” to do the test.
For detailed operation instruction, please refer to section 3.6.2.
3.7 Signal Reset
After connecting with equipment successfully, click the icon of tool bar “Signal reset” , all
magnetic latched output relays and signal relays will be reset.
3.8 Clock Synchronization
After connecting with equipment successfully, click the icon of tool bar “Time” , a clock
synchronizing command is issued to the relay to synchronize the clock time of the relay with the
time of the computer DBG9000 installed.
NOTE：8U~12U RCS-900 serial equipments have no clock synchronization function.
