logic design and monitoring.
4.1 EnerVista software interface
4.1.1 Introduction
The EnerVista UR Setup software provides a single facility to configure, monitor, maintain, and troubleshoot relay functions,
connected over local or wide area communication networks. It can be used while disconnected (offline) or connected
(online) to a UR device. In offline mode, settings files can be created for eventual downloading to the device. In online
mode, you communicate with the device in real-time.
The EnerVista UR Setup software is provided with every N60. This chapter outlines the EnerVista software interface
features. The EnerVista UR Setup Help File also provides details for getting started and using the software interface.
4.1.2 Settings files
The EnerVista software supports the following three ways of handling changes to relay settings:
•
In offline mode (relay disconnected) to create or edit relay settings files for later transfer to relays
•
While connected to a communicating relay to modify directly any relay settings via relay data view windows, and then
save the settings to the relay
•
Create/edit settings files and then write them to the relay while connected to the relay
See the back up section in the Maintenance chapter for instructions on how to create a settings file either offline or online.
Settings files are organized on the basis of file names assigned by the user. A settings file contains data pertaining to the
following types of relay settings:
•
Device definition
•
Product setup
•
System setup
•
FlexLogic
•
Grouped elements
•
Control elements
•
Inputs/outputs
