1 INTRODUCTION TO THE SETTINGS APPLICATION SOFTWARE
The settings application software used in this range of IEDs is called MiCOM S1 Agile. It is a collection of
software tools, which is used for managing all aspects of the IEDs. This chapter provides a brief summary of
each software tool. Further information is available in the Help system and in the Settings Application
Software Guide P40-M&CR-UG-EN-n, where n is the latest version of the settings application software.
The software allows you to edit device settings and commands for Alstom Grid's range of IEDs. It is
compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems.
It also enables you to manage the MiCOM devices in your system. You can build a list of devices and
organise them in the same way as they physically exist in a system. Parameters can be created and
uploaded for each device, and devices can be supervised directly.
It also includes a Product Selector tool. This is an interactive product catalogue, which makes it easier to
choose the right device for each application.
1.1 GETTING STARTED
S1 Agile allows you to create a model of a protection system which simulates a real-world protection system.
You can add substations, bays, voltage levels and devices to the system. First you need to download the
data models for the devices in the system. Then you can either create a new system or open an existing
system. You can connect to an IED either directly through the front port or to an IED in the system model.
You can then send or extract settings. You can also extract PSL, DNP3, Events or Disturbance Record files.
If there is no default system, use Quick Connect to automatically create one. If a system is no longer
needed, right-click it and select Delete to permanently delete it. Systems are not opened automatically. To
change this, select Options then Preferences then check the checkbox Reopen last System at start-up .
