DTR Digital Tap Changer Controller 

GE—106305A 

2.5  USER INTERFACE AND COMMUNICATIONS 

2.5.1   LOCAL USER INTERFACE 

The local man machine interface in the DTR system is developed through two keyboard/display sets, one for 
protection functions and the other for control functions. 

 

Local Protection MMI 

The protection HMI incorporates keyboard with 20 keys and an alphanumeric LCD display with two rows of 16 
characters each, that allows access to all the information available in the protection system, that is: 

 

Display and change settings 

 

Display of states and measurements 

 

Perform actions (operations) 

 

Access to the Configuration Menu and to the Single Key Menu (this menu shows the most important information 
of the device by pressing only one key) 

 

Control Local MMI 

The control HMI incorporates functional keyboard with 6 keys and graphic LCD display. This graphic LCD shows four 
different screens that can be accessed sequentially. 

 

BAY MIMIC 

 

 

 

This screen shows the mimic of the bay, that is, a diagram of the bay related to the DTR module, showing the status 
of the transformer OLTC, tap number, measured voltage, setpoint and other information. This screen can be 
configured with the GE_Intro configuration software. The following picture shows an example of this screen: 

In this screen, the different elements can be selected (by means of the arrow keys) and the user can perform 
operations related to those elements. When the user selects an element that can be operated, the display shows the 
available options that can be selected with the F1.F4 keys.
