(SAVING...), and the control will save the configuration
data to the memory device. If a file already exists on the
memory device with the same name, the words (REPLACE
FILE) will display; press the
ENTER
key to confirm saving
over the existing file. Upon completion, the control will
display (OK TO REMOVE). The USB memory device may be
removed after this message is displayed and the green LED
light goes out.
If the command is completed with errors, a (SAVE FAILED)
message is displayed on the fourth line of the LCD. If the
command is in progress and is aborted via the ESC key, a
(CANCEL COMPLETED) message is displayed on the fourth
line of the LCD.
Loading configuration data, FC 951
Using FC 951 will allow the user to select among the
configuration files located on a USB memory device and
load the desired file. Any of the stored files with the .cl7
suffix can be selected and loaded.
An Admin level of security is required to perform this
operation. After inserting a USB memory device, access
FC 951. Press
ENTER
; this will bring up the first file name
located on the device. If more than one .cl7 file is located
on the device, a (More...
) will appear on the screen. Use
the down arrow to scroll to the desired file for loading.
Press
ENTER
again and the control LCD will display
(CONFIRM). Press
ENTER
again to confirm and begin
loading the file. The LCD will display (LOADING...), and the
control will load the configuration data from the memory
device. Upon completion, the control will display (LOAD
COMPLETE). The USB memory device may be removed
after this message is displayed.
If the command is completed with errors, a (LOAD FAILED)
message is displayed on the fourth line of the LCD. If the
command is in progress and is aborted via the ESC key, a
(CANCEL COMPLETE) message is displayed on the fourth
line of the LCD.
Remove device, FC 953
It is always recommended that the USB memory device not
be removed from the control while the green LED above
the port is illuminated. To prepare the control for removal of
the device, access FC 953 and press
ENTER
; (CONFIRM)
will appear on the display. Pressing
ENTER
again will cause
the message (OK TO REMOVE) to display and the green
LED to go out. The device may now be safely removed.
.CSV files, FC 954
Comma-separated values (.CSV) files can be created and
saved onto a USB memory device inserted into the USB
DRIVE data port. The two types of files that can be created
will contain either voltage regulation settings or metering
data. Once the file has been saved onto a USB memory
device, the file can then be opened using a spreadsheet
program on a computer.
To create the .CSV files, begin by inserting a USB memory
device into the control. Access FC 954 and press ENTER
to bring up the Settings to .CSV option. Pressing ENTER
again will bring up a line on the control LCD enabling
the user to name the file and a prompt to CONFIRM the
operation. Pressing ENTER again will create the settings
file. Accessing FC 954 and pressing the down arrow once
will provide access Metering to .CSV option.
Communications
Communicate with the CL-7 control using ProView NXG
software or protocols such as DNP3 or IEC 60870. The
ProView NXG software, used with a PC, can provide
temporary local connection to the control.
Communication ports
There are two physical communications ports and a PC data
port (USB type B) on the CL-7 control.
The PC data port is for use as a temporary local
communication connection to the control. Connection is
made to the PC data port by using a standard USB type A
to USB type B cable (standard USB printer cable). When
using ProView NXG software, a port configuration has been
created to allow for easy connection. Clicking on the connect
button will bring up a list of configured ports, click on
Data
Ports (USB Direct)
to connect.
The communication ports Com 1 and Com 2 are for use
as permanent communication connection to the control.
Connection is made by using an optional communication
accessory card inserted into the side of the control. A
communications base card is also required. The port
settings are configured using various function codes which
can be found in the COMMUNICATIONS menu. See
for a list of communication parameters and
descriptions.

software, see document

Protocols
There are several protocols resident in the CL-7 control. The
protocols include DNP3 (serial and IP), IEC 60870-5-101 and
-104, Cooper 2179, Modbus RTU, and Modbus TCP. While
only one protocol can be selected for a single Com port at
a time, the two com ports can be set to different protocols.
Both of the protocols are highly configurable.
