7 Software for Communicating with the MJ-5 Control Panel
7.1 Communications Software
Siemens has developed a Windows-based communications
software application called MJXplorer. All configuration
and data can be downloaded to a PC via the USB
Data Port located on the front of the MJ-5 Control Panel,
through the RS-232 connection located on the back or
through the RJ-45 Ethernet connection also located on the
back of the panel. Downloaded data can then be saved in a
*.CSV (comma separated variable) format. The file may
then be imported to other commonly used software,
including spreadsheet applications.
In addition to downloading, MJXplorer software can
modify configuration information and upload the
information to the MJ-5 Control Panel. The MJXplorer
software and operating instructions are available from
Siemens. Contact your Siemens Power Transmission &
Distribution representative for details.
Another program called DNP Configure can be used to
define a custom set of DNP points for a control panel. This
program is also available from Siemens. Contact your
Siemens representative for details.
All software is available on the Siemens website listed in
section 1.8.
