Chapter 1 Introduction

Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1 General Description

PCS-PC is an auxiliary software designed by NR for NR′s devices based on UAPC (Unified
Advanced Platform for Protection and Control) platform. The devices based on UAPC platform are
new generation digital relays which fully support digital substation and new generation substation
communication protocol, IEC61850, and are compatible with traditional substation communication
protocol, IEC60870-5-103. The modularization design of the hardware and software makes them
be flexibly configured, universal and easy to expand and maintain.

PCS-PC takes a substation as a management unit to configure, and supports to manage several
devices in the same substation. In addition, PCS-PC is adaptive to both off-line mode and on-line
mode. Under offline mode, PCS-PC can fulfill functions configuration, I/O configuration,
programmable logic and modify settings, and so on, on the basis of the device′s drive file (*.bin
file). Under on-line mode, PCS-PC communicate with the device via Etherne port and can
download program and config to the device, modify settings and view real-time state of the device,
and so on. The main functions is listed in the table below.

2.3 Device Management

2.3.1 Create Devices

To right-click the substation name and select “New Device…”, a dialog box will pop up (as shown
in Figure 2.3-1).

Figure 2.3-1 Creat device

There is three methods to newly create a device: on-line mode and off-line mode.

2.3.1.1 Ethernet On-line Mode

To select the lable “OnLine Services”, and then input IP address and name of the device, as
shown in Figure 2.3-2.

NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD. 11


Chapter 2 Quick Start

Figure 2.3-2 Creat device under Ethernet on-line mode

If pitching on the check box (“Upload config files from device”), PCS-PC will read configuration
information, settings information, programmable logic information, LCD editor information and
other users′ configurable information from the device after entering on-line status automatically,
and then forming a *.BIN file. After finishing modifying config file, download *.BIN file to the device.

The device will disconnect and display off-line config node automatically after forming *.BIN file
successfully.

If not pitching on the check box, PCS-PC will enter on-line status automatically and read device
information based on IEC 60870-5-103 protocol.

2.3.1.2 Serial Port On-line Mode

To select the lable “COM Services”, and then input the corresponding setup, as shown in Figure
2.3-3.

Chapter 3 Off-line Function

Chapter 3 Off-line Function

3.1 General Description

The off-line functions provided by PCS-PC can setup functions, settings, binary signals, logic
calculations and LCD displays by drive file of the device (*.bin file). Under off-line mode, the device

node is displayed with the symbol “ ”.

The drive file of the device based on UAPC platform includes necessary program and config file,
which are combined into the *.bin file. The file includes the device′s all application program, config
file, config result, LCD config, Boolean calculation, programmable logic and the contents related to
IEC61850.

3.2 Off-line Interface

There are two methods to enter the device′s off-line edit status of PCS-PC:

1. When newly create a device, select the lable “OffLine Config”, and then select drive file (*.bin)
and input the device′s name to create a new device node.

2. Except that run PCS-PC in the first time, PCS-PC can automatically open a latest substation
file when PCS-PC is started, and the click pre-set off-line device node.

After the off-line device node is triggered by any of above methods, the off-line device node will
extract the following tree structure.

Figure 3.2-1 Off-line device

The device node includes:

“System Config” system config

“Function Config” functions setup (enable/disable protection function)

“Signal Config” configure signals

“Logic Graph” programmable logic

“Settings” modify settings under off-line mode

NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD. 19


Chapter 3 Off-line Function

These available signal sources can be arranged according to two different modes:

1. The lable “FunctionGroup” is to arrange these signal sources according to protection


functions, such as overcurent protection ,overvoltage protection and so on.

2. The lable “SignalType” is to arrange these signal sources according to the type of signal
source, such as binary input, binary output and trip element and so on.

These available signal sources displayed by two label pages have the same amounts and
description, the difference is arrangement mode, which is convenient for the user to flexibly select
any of two label pages to config LED indicators according to actual situation.

22 NR ELECTRIC CO., LTD.


Chapter 3 Off-line Function

The config window includes two label pages: “Defined LED” indicates unconfigurable LED
indicators, and “Configurable LED” indicates configurable LED indicators.

“Configurable LED” includes three labels: “Led Label”, “Signal” and “Latched”

“Led Label” indicates the name of LED indicator. Select the corresponding item and double-click
to edit the name of the LED indicator.

“Signal” indicates the signal relevant to the LED indicator

For some devices, they provide the function to modify the color of LED indicator, and the setup
interface is shown in Figure 3.5-3. There is a new label “Color” except for “Led Label”, “Signal”
and “Latched”. Three kinds of options are provided: “Red”, “Green”, “Yellow”, and select one of
them by drop-down listbox.

Figure 3.5-3 LED config with color modification

Drag the target signal from the signal source window in the right side of the interface to designated
location to config the signal of the LED indicator. If the LED indicator has been appointed a signal,
a prompt message will be given as below.
