CONFIGURING DDFR SETTINGS FILES
CHAPTER 3: DDFR CONFIGURATION
DDFRs are usually organized and grouped by relay-side communication interfaces (eg:
Ethernet, RS485, etc.) and each DDFR may communicate with a maximum of 50 relays
selected from the SR, UR or F650 product series.
The EnerVista DDFR Setup Software interface supports two ways of handling changes to
DDFR-relay settings:
• In
on-line
mode (see below), directly modifying and saving each DDFR-relay setting
on the computer and transferring these individual settings directly to the
communicating DDFR.
• In
off-line
mode (see below) - DDFR disconnected - creating or editing complete
Settings Files on the computer, for later transfer to communicating DDFRs.
These modes are, of course, simply another way of referring to the "fresh" and "preset"
configuration techniques discussed in section 3.1.4.3
3.3.3
Creating a New Settings File
The EnerVista DDFR Setup Software allows you to create new Settings Files independent of
a connected DDFR device; in other words, in "off-line" or "preset" mode. These can be
transferred to the DDFR at a later time. The following procedure illustrates how to create
new Settings Files.
Z
In the DDFR Offline Window, right click on
Files
.
Z
Select the
New Settings File
item.
The EnerVista DDFR Setup Software displays the following box,
allowing the configuration of the Settings File for the correct
firmware version. It is important to define the correct firmware
version to ensure that settings not available in a particular version
are not transferred into the relay.
Z
Select the
Order Code
and
Firmware Version
for the new Settings
File.
Z
For future reference, enter some useful information in the
Description
box to help you identify the DDFR unit and the purpose
of the file.
