EnerVista 3 Series Setup Software
Although settings can be entered manually using the control panel keys, a PC can be used
to download setpoints through the communications port. The EnerVista 3 Series
Setup software is available from GE Multilin to make this as convenient as possible. With
EnerVista 3 Series Setup running, it is possible to:
•
Program and modify settings
•
Load and save setting files to and from a disk
•
Read actual values
•
Monitor status
•
Read pre-trip data and event records
•
Get help on any topic
•
Upgrade the 350 firmware
The EnerVista 3 Series Setup software allows immediate access to all 350 features with
easy to use pull down menus in the familiar Windows environment. This section provides
the necessary information to install EnerVista 3 Series Setup , upgrade the relay firmware,
and write and edit setting files.
The EnerVista 3 Series Setup software can run without a 350 connected to the computer. In
this case, settings may be saved to a file for future use. If a 350 is connected to a PC and
communications are enabled, the 350 can be programmed from the setting screens. In
addition, measured values, status and trip messages can be displayed with the actual
value screens.
