or start using the relay specific test template (for more information, see the test template documentation).

8 Converter Structure
The converter is divided into two sections: the REG316 section and the RIO section. Both sections consist
of several function blocks. The converter comes up in the standard view; the RIOplus section and the
template controller section can only be seen in the advanced view.

8.1 REG316 Section

The REG316 section is divided into four groups: the Relay Parameter Section, the Additional
Information section, the RIO Plus section and the TemplateController section.

8.1.1 Relay Parameter Section

The Relay Parameter Section includes the parameters which have to be changed by the user. All relay
parameters are included in this section and have to be set to the actual relay values. The parameters are
grouped and named as in the ABB MiCOM S1 Studio software. Each parameter in this block is identified
by a Foreign ID (witch corresponds to the Address in the relay software).

8.1.2 Additional Information

This block contains additional data for testing the REG316 relay functionality. The block is divided into the
following sections:

General section – includes detailed information needed for the test report like manufacturer,
device type, substation name etc. This section includes parameters which have to be changed by
the user according to the customer relay type and substation.

Relay Information section - This block has been added for relay specific parameters such as
tolerances which cannot be set by the user, because they are constant values. All values set in
this block can be found in the "REG316 Generator Protection Relay" manual. Typically, these
blocks do not have to be changed, as they are already set to the values given in the user manual
of the relay.

Circuit Breaker Information section – includes information which is required for the CB test.

Test Tolerance section – includes an additional test tolerance to calculate the start and end value
for trip and pickup tests by using the OMICRON TU Ramping module.

Test Parameters section – includes additional test parameters for testing e.g. test points for the
Inverse Time Overfluxing protection
