Overview
When IPScom is run, a menu and status bar is
displayed (as shown below). This section describes
each IPScom menu selection and explains each
IPScom command in the same order as they are
displayed in the software program. For detailed
information on each dialog box field (function), refer
to Chapter 2,
Application
.
When starting IPScom, the initial menu choices are
the
File
menu or the
Comm
menu. The choice
specifies whether the operator desires to write to an
data file or to communicate directly with the relay.

The
File
menu enables the user to create a new
data file, open a previously created data file, close,
print, and save the file. The IPScom
®
program can
also be exited through the
File
menu.
Since IPScom can be used with several Beckwith
protection systems in addition to the M-3520 Intertie
Protection Relay, the format and contents of a file
must be established depending on which protective
system is being addressed. When not connected to
one of the protection systems, using the
New
command, a new file is established with the New
Device Profile dialog box (see Figure 4-5). Choosing
the
OK
command button, allows the new data file to
be named by using the
Save
or
Save
As
...commands.

NOTE:
By choosing the
New
command, unit

based on factory settings specified for
the profiled protection system.

Open
command allows opening a previously created
data file. With an opened data file, use the

menu items to access the setpoint windows.
If communication can be established with a relay, it
is always safer to use the
Read Data From Relay
command (found under the
Relay
menu) to update
the PC’s data file with the relay data. This file now
contains the proper system type information,
eliminating the need to set the information manually.
The
and
Printer Setup
commands allow user
to select printer options and print out all setpoint
data from the data file or directly from the relay, if a
relay is communicating with the PC. The
Exit
command quits the IPScom program.

The
Communication
dialog box (see Figure 4-5)
allows setup of the IPScom communication data to
coordinate with the relay and, by choosing the
Modem
button, establishment of contact for remote
locations. When communicating by way of a fiber
optic loop network, echo cancelling is available by
checking the
Echo Cancel
box. This command
masks the sender’s returned echo.
If communication is established through the modem,
the
Dial
button should be pressed after the dial
string is selected. If necessary, the
Initialize
button
can be used to send the initialization string to the
modem. If checked, the
Bring Up Terminal

box provides an advanced
