The PROFIBUS DP protocol facilitates the connection of SIPROTEC
®
–devices to
SPS-based process control systems (e.g. SIMATIC S5/S7). The protocols DNP3.0
and MODBUS ASCII/RTU allow the connection to a wide range of control systems by
other manufacturers.
4.1.3 Settings
The devices in the SIPROTEC
®
4 family are delivered with default settings. After set-
tings are made for specific applications, the devices are suitable for direct use in power
systems.
The windows-based DIGSI
®
4 software program offers an application-oriented inter-
face with thorough guidance for quick and simple setting of the devices.
DIGSI
®
4 is installed on a normal personal computer. For local use, the PC is connect-
ed to the operating serial interface on the front panel of the device.
4.1.4 Operations
All on-site operations of a SIPROTEC
®
4 device can be done with DIGSI
®
4. Exam-
ples of operations are switching, retrieval of information, or changing of setting groups.
These operations can also be performed using the operator control panel on the front
of the SIPROTEC
®
4 device.
4.1.5 Oscillographic Fault Records
DIGSI
®
4 can also be used to retrieve oscillographic fault data captured by the
SIPROTEC
®
4 device. The DIGRA
®
4 softwareprogramcanthenbeusedtoprovide
several different graphical representations of the captured signals. DIGRA
®
4alsocal-
culates additional values on the basis of the captured signals. The program presents
the data in analogue curves with time base, phasor diagrams, locus diagrams, and
harmonic charts.
