5.2.1
Configuration parameter
Configuration parameter specifies the operation mode of an application function or of
the protection relay. These are basic configurations that are normally configured only
once and then not modified again. The protection relay configures itself during start-
up according to the given configuration parameter values.
5.2.2
Setting parameter
Setting parameter (short form: “setting”) is a parameter that can be changed in the
protection relay at runtime.
5.2.3
Setting group
Nearly all settings used by the protection relay for protection application functions are
organized into a group of settings. Up to six setting groups can be configured with
different values.
The protection relay supports the selection of a setting group at runtime.
5.2.4
Parameter import and export
The parameter export and import function can be utilized, for example, when the
protection relay's parameters are set using the WHMI instead of PCM600. The relay
settings engineered with PCM600 can be exported to XRIO files and imported to the
WHMI. The WHMI can be used to write the settings to the protection relays. The
WHMI can also be used to read the relay setting parameters and to export those to files,
which can be used by PCM600.
The exporting and importing of settings is sensitive to the protection
relay's content. Settings are exported and imported for one protection
relay at a time. The export files of a specific protection relay can be
exchanged between PCM600, WHMI and the actual physical IED. To
avoid errors and to efficiently manage the exporting and importing of
settings, for example, in a substation with several protection relays,
ensure that the names of the export files identify the protection relay
to which the file should be imported.
The parameter import/export functionality is available via the File menu when the
Parameter Setting tool is open.
