Creating Oscillographic Recordings for Tests
During commissioning, energization sequences should be carried out to check the stability of the protection
also during closing operations. Oscillographic event recordings contain the maximum information on the be-
havior of the protection.
Along with the capability of storing fault recordings via pickup of the protection function, the 7RW80 also has
the capability of capturing the same data when commands are given to the device via the service program
DIGSI, the serial interface, or a binary input. For the latter, event
„>Trig.Wave.Cap.“
must be allocated to
a binary input. Triggering for the oscillographic recording then occurs, for instance, via the binary input when
the protection object is energized.
An oscillographic recording that is triggered externally (that is, without a protective element pickup) are pro-
cessed by the device as a normal oscillographic record. For each oscillographic record a fault record is created
which is given its individual number to ensure that assignment can be made properly. However, these oscillo-
graphic recordings are not displayed in the fault log buffer in the display as they are no network fault events.
The procedure is described in detail in Chapter "Mounting and Commissioning".
