3.12 Single-Line Diagram
The single-line diagram is displayed after the »CTRL« has been pressed, see ╚═▷ “3.9
“CTRL” key – Control Switchgear Devices”. It can be replaced by another one, so that you are
able to adapt it to your application. The following is important to know in this context:
When PowerPort-E saves the current conguration to a “*.ErPara”-le the currently
active single-line diagram is always included. Vice versa, if you load an ErPara le
and transfer it to the protection device the single line diagram contained therein gets
displayed.
But it is important to note that the other way round is not possible: There is no way
to retrieve the currently active single-line diagram (in editable form) from the protection
device, nor is it possible to export it from the ErPara le. As a consequence, it is strongly
recommended to archive all the les that you have come across, not only the original
le from which you started, but also all les that you created as individually modied
single-line diagrams. There is a dedicated “*.ErPage” le format that keeps a single-line
diagram – the so-called “page” – for later re-use.
Remark: The default single-line that the protection device displays after a factory reset can
be found as an ErPage le on the product CD that has been part of the delivery. In most cases
you can use it as a template and adapt it to your individual needs.
The software to be used for editing an ErPage le is named Page Editor. It is a stand-alone
application which is installed along with the PowerPort-E installation. It is possible to launch
it the usual way, (for example) via the Windows Start button. But if you have PowerPort-E
already running it is probably more convenient to use the menu item [Tools → Page Editor].
Please refer to the Page Editor Manual for a description of what can be done within the Page
Editor. Although this manual is quite short these topics are out of scope of this “Quick Start”
description. The Page Editor Manual can be simply opened by calling the Page Editor menu
item [Help → Help] (or pressing the »F1« key).
Finally save your single-line as an ErPage le and transfer it to the protection device.
An ErPage le is transferred to the E-Series Family Quick Start Guide the following way:
⚙
1. ▷
In PowerPort-E, open the menu item [Device Planning].
2. ▷
A double-click on the entry »Ctrl . Single Line«, “①” in the diagram below, opens the
editing dialog.
3. ▷
Click on the button »Single-line Diagram...« (“②” in the diagram below).
▶
This opens a le-select dialog.
4. ▷
▶
The editing dialog displays the selected le (lename without “ErPage” extension, plus
preview. If you have successfully passed the “Compatibility Check” of the Page Editor
your new single-line should be o.k. so that the eld »Single-line Error Messages« is
blank.
5. ▷
Click »Apply« to close the editing dialog (“③” in the diagram below).
