Software Configuration
Physical interconnection of the devices is only one part of the procedure to allow IRIG B time stamp. The ABB
protective relays must be configured to allow for IRIG B to be enabled. The procedure follows:
1.
Start ECP from the DOS operating system for the appropriate device being configured.
2.
Highlight the Change Settings Menu.
3.
Highlight and Select the Communications Menu.
4.
Scroll down to the field “ IRIG B”.
5.
Depress the enter key and select the “ENABLE” selection. Two selections are displayed, ENABLE-mmm
or ENABLE-cc. ENABLE-mmm will timestamp events and display the millisecond time as a number from
1 to 999. ENABLE-cc will timestamp events and display the millisecond time as a decimal fraction of a
second from 1 to 99.
6.
Return from the menu item.
7.
Download the changed selections to the attached unit.
The unit is now synchronized to the IRIG B time source. All events shall be time stamped to the common IRIG B time
source. The protective relays may also be configured for IRIG B time stamping from the front panel MMI of units which
are equipped with a front panel interface.
