Also section at the bottom of the page. Use these links to find other similar or associated
topics.
Some of the topics are context sensitive. When using the program, pressing F1 or pressing
the Help button in dialog boxes, will open help at the appropriate topic. Where no specific
topic is available, F1 will open help at the topic for Programmable Scheme Logic - Overview.
Where a word is in bold text it indicates the name of a control or button.
New Scheme Diagrams

A new scheme diagram requires configuration information that is appropriate to the specific
MiCOM relay. Starting a new scheme logic diagram explains how to start with the correct
relay configuration.

Starting a new scheme logic diagram

Before a scheme logic diagram can be created, the Editor must have a "template"
configuration that allows it to determine various relay-specific parameters such as the
number of optos and contacts, and signal names and types. Because there are many
different variants of MiCOM relay, it is not possible for the Editor to provide a common
default scheme. Instead, a configuration needs to be loaded from either a file or a relay.
Loading schemes from files
The product is shipped with default scheme files. These can be opened as they stand to be
used as a starting point for changes to a scheme. Alternatively, to create a new "blank"
scheme the appropriate default file for the appropriate relay may be opened. To do this
select 'Blank scheme...' from the 'File > New' menu item. This has the effect of deleting the
diagram components from the default file to leave an empty diagram but with the correct
configuration information loaded.
Loading schemes from relays
Recovering an existing scheme from a relay should be avoided if it can be obtained from the
corresponding file. A scheme recovered from a relay is logically correct but the positional
information of signals and links is not available from the relay. Diagram Reconstruction after
Recover from Relay explains the consequences.
If a new "blank" scheme is required, an existing scheme can be uploaded from an
appropriate relay then all of the components should be deleted. In these circumstances the
missing positional information is of no consequence.
Programmable Scheme Logic - Overview

When the Programmable Scheme Logic application is launched, the main window is
displayed showing a blank canvas. You can:
• Open an existing Diagram

• Retrieve the scheme logic from an online relay
Menus:
• File, Edit, View, Device, Tools, Help
Status Bar:
• Status Bar
Tool Bars:
The tools active on the toolbars depend upon the component or components that have been
selected. Click on the following tools for further information:

Structure Tools:
Status Bar
The left hand side of the status bar at the bottom of the main window shows a brief
description of whatever button or menu option the mouse pointer is over.
The right hand side of the status bar, in the pane, shows the following (note that the
application window may need to be increased in size in order to reveal all of the following):
• The x / y position of the mouse cursor on the canvas

• The relay>model number associated with the diagram.
• The default relay settings group associated with the diagram.
• Diagram resources available for use. The number of Timers, Contacts, and LEDs is stated as
the number unused over the total number for the diagram.
Two resource indicators show % available:
1. 'Traditional' resources as a percentage; the lowest of the number of gates available, the number
of free DDB nodes available, and the area of logic memory available. This ranges from 100 -
0%.
2. 'Extended' resources available as a percentage. For <= V3.0, this is the graphical non-logic
space, including positional information on links, signals, text labels, rectangles, lines. This can
go negative to indicate that some of the non-core information will be lost when sent to a relay.
Additionally the value is shown in black when zero or above, and amber or red when negative.
See below:
Display of Graphic Resources

Green is used to indicate that there are enough resources for text, links and other graphic
primitives.
Amber is used to indicate that there are enough resources for text but not links. There may
be room for the other graphic primitives (not indicated).
Red is used to indicate that there are not enough resources for all of the text, and therefore
no resources available for links and other graphic primitives.
Troubleshooting
A failure to open a connection could be because of one or more of the following:
• Relay address is not valid.

• Password is not valid.
• Communications Setup - COM port, Baud rate, or Framing - is not correct.
• Transaction Values are not suitable for the relay and/or the type of connection.
• Modem configuration is not valid. Changes may be necessary when using a modem.
• Ethernet Setup fixed incoming port number is not correct.
• Ethernet connection - Ethernet address is not valid. This can be proved by 'pinging' the IP
address from the PC command prompt.
• Bay unit bus address is not valid.
• The connection cable is not wired correctly or broken. See section 4 of the MiCOM S1 User
Manual that comes with MiCOM S1 for connection configurations.
The option switches on any KITZ101/102 that is in use may be incorrectly set. See
Communications Reference for the detailed descriptions for option switches and
KITZ101/102 Communications Reference

Add Logic Symbols to a Diagram

Logic symbols, text, and images can be added to the canvas by clicking the appropriate
button on the Logic Symbolstoolbar, then clicking the left mouse button on the canvas. The
symbol is added to the canvas at the mouse pointer location.
You may be presented with a properties dialog where a signal name must be chosen before
the symbol can be created. Other properties can be set for some of the symbols.
Add a Link to a Diagram
A link between logic symbols represents a logical connection within a relay, so there are
rules that need to be adhered-to.
To add a link click the Link tool on the Logic Symbols toolbar. The mouse pointer changes to
a small cross. Move the pointer to the symbol to connect from. When the pointer is close to
the connection point it will change to a target (a cross in a circle). Click while the pointer is a
target.
Now move the pointer to the symbol to connect to. Again while the pointer is a target click
the mouse to complete the link. The link will be drawn as simply as possible using horizontal
and vertical lines.
The canvas will scroll when the pointer is very near to an edge of the window, allowing
connection between two symbols where the target is off-page. The scroll speed can be
varied via the Panning Properties dialog.
While the link tool is active you may continue to add more links. Press the ESC key or right
click on the canvas to return to the selection pointer.
Adding Links to a Gate

When a gate is created it has two inputs. Additional connection points are automatically
created as more links are added. Position the target pointer over the input required and click
the mouse button. The existing links will be displaced above and below the new connection
as necessary.
Complex Links
While creating a link, you may click the mouse in several places to route the link around
other components. Each click will create a vertex

• Fan-in Adjust
Edit a Link
When a link is added to a diagram by clicking first on the start symbol then the end symbol
the link is drawn in a simple manner that may not be as you would wish. There are a
number of ways that the routing of a link can be edited.
All editing operations are done using the selection pointer.
Moving line sections of a link

Position the selection pointer over the line section so it is a 2 headed arrow, then click and
drag with the left mouse button.
Moving a vertex
Select the link with a left mouse click, then position the selection pointer over the vertex so
it is a 4 headed arrow, then click and drag with the left mouse button.
Adding a vertex
Select the link with a left mouse click, then position the selection pointer over the line
section so it is a 2 headed arrow, then, while holding down the CTRL key, click the left
mouse button.
Superfluous vertexes will be automatically removed when a link is edited.
Deleting a vertex
Select the link with a left mouse click, then position the selection pointer over the vertex so
it is a 4 headed arrow, then, while holding down the CTRL key, click the left mouse button.
Creating a straight line link

Deleting all the vertexes in a link will create a straight line link between two components.
See Also:

• Fan-in Adjust
Fan-in Adjust
Gates may have their fan-in links automatically adjusted so that they do not overlap one
another.
Fan-in adjust is done when one or more gates are selected.
1. Choose Fan-in Adjust from the Edit menu.

2. The result can be improved by moving the input signals and / or the gate in
the diagram and repeating the operation.
Panning Properties
Panning properties can be set via Panning Properties... from the View menu item. The
Panning Speed Setting dialog is displayed:
Moving the slider left or right has the effect of slowing down or speeding up the scrolling
action whilst the Link Tool is selected. Moving the slider far left will disable the scrolling
action altogether.
This setting also affects the pan scrolling speed during a drag operation on a component.
See Also:
• Add a Link to a Diagram
Move a Component
With the selection pointer select one or more components. They can then be moved by:
• Placing the mouse pointer over one of the selected components so the pointer changes to a 4
headed arrow. Then click and drag them to the new position with the left mouse button held
down.
• Using the Nudge Tools, dragging the components near to the edge of the window will cause
panning (i.e. scrolling) of the canvas. See Panning Properties
Use a Conditioner Output to Drive Logic

The output from a LED Conditioner or Contact Conditioner may be used as an input to other
logic elements in a scheme.
First ensure that the conditioner exists on the diagram. Then add the appropriate LED Signal
or Contact Signal symbol to the diagram using Logic Symbols toolbar. A link may then be
attached to the connection point at right hand end of the symbol. This connection point on
the signal does not have the usual tail.
The program ensures that the rules for Inserting Contact and LED Signals are adhered to.
Highlight a Path
Symbols and Links may be highlighted to enable components that are connected to be easily
identified on the Diagram.
Highlighting is done from the anchor component only.
1. Choose Highlight from the Edit menu.

2. Highlighting is removed by left-clicking in an area of free canvas, or performing
an edit action.
There are four variations on highlighting a path. The examples below illustrate them.
Example 1.
Highlighting a gate symbol causes its associated input and output paths to be highlighted.
Example 2.
Highlighting a link causes all graphically connected links to be highlighted.
Example 3.
Highlighting a signal symbol causes all logically connected links to be highlighted.
Example 4.
Highlighting a conditioner symbol or its associated signal symbol causes all logically
connected links to be highlighted.
Find Text or DDB Signal
The currently loaded diagram can be searched for either text or DDB signals. Additionally the
DDB signals on the canvas are presented in a filterable list. The utility is invoked via the Find
tool or via the "Edit > Find..." menu option.
When invoked, the Find dialog is displayed, allowing you to enter text, a DDB number, or
select from a list (see the More function).
When entering text into the Text edit box:
Select the "Match case" check box to perform a case-sensitive find.
Select the "Use optional '*' '?' wildcards" if you wish to use the 'DOS' wildcard characters
as part of the find. The '*' matches all characters from the point it is used onwards.
The '?' matches any single character.
• E.g.:
• "Opto ?01?" matches "Opto #011" "Opto #0115" but does not match "Opto 01 is unused"
• "Opto *" matches "Opto #011" "Opto coupler" but does not match "Opto-coupler"
• "*Opto" matches everything.
Select the "Whole words only" check box to perform a find on whole words only.
When entering text into the DDB # edit box:
The "Match case", "Use optional '*' '?' wildcards", and "Whole words only" options are
ignored.
Using the DDB # edit box allows the finding of signals on the diagram by their DDB number
rather than the text. This is more reliable than the Text search where the DDB number is
known, and excludes text labels on the diagram.
Select the "Highlight associated signals" check box to highlight any links to the DDB
signal if found (also applies to the Morefunction).
Use the "Find" button to dismiss the dialog and find the search text or DDB number. A
message will appear if nothing is found. Otherwise the item is highlighted, scrolling it into
view if necessary. The associated signal(s) is also highlighted if the Highlight Associated
Signals check box is ticked.
After doing a find, and with the Find dialog closed, use the F3 button to find subsequent
occurrences of the search text / DDB number.
Select the "More" button to reveal/show or hide an extra section that allows the finding of
DDB signals by selection from a list.
A list of the DDB signals and filtering is revealed when "More" is selected.
DDB Signals List

One or more items in the list can be selected, causing all occurrences of the signals to be
highlighted on the diagram. The dialog may need to be repositioned in order to reveal the
highlighted signals. The Highlight Associated Signals option can also be used.
The DDB Signals list is a Windows multiple-selection list. Multiple items can be selected by
using various combinations of the left mouse button, control and shift keys and arrow
buttons.
Filter
The DDB Signals Listcan be filtered by signal type to show only those items of interest. Only
signal types that are present on the diagram can be enabled in the filter. The filter acts only
on the DDB Signals list; the diagram is unaffected.
Select the "Select All" tick box to automatically display all of the DDB signals regardless of
the individual filter settings.

Send Scheme Logic Data to a Relay

1. Open a connection to the relay.
2. Select Send to Relay from the Device Menu.
3. Optionally edit the Reference ID in the PSL Settings Transfer dialog.
4. Optionally select a CRC
Type in the PSL Settings Transfer dialog.
5. Choose OK to begin the transfer.
Warnings
Before the scheme is sent to the relay some checks are done. Various warning messages
may be displayed as a result of these checks.
The Editor first reads in the model number of the connected relay, and then compares it with
the stored model number. A "wildcard" comparison is employed. If a model mismatch occurs
then a warning will be generated before sending commences. Both the stored model number
and that read-in from the relay are displayed along with the warning. If you decide to
continue with the transfer anyway then a sophisticated compatibility check will be performed
between the scheme and the relay. In the event that incompatibilities are detected then a
Compatibility Report is displayed.
If there are any potential problems of an obvious nature then a list will be generated. The
types of potential problems that the program attempts to detect are:
• One or more gates, LED conditioners, Contact conditioners, and/or timers have their outputs
linked directly back to their inputs. An erroneous link of this sort could lock up the relay, or
cause other more subtle problems to arise.
• Inputs To Trigger (ITT) exceeds the number of inputs. A programmable gate has its ITT value
set to greater than the number of actual inputs; the gate can never activate. Note that there is
no lower ITT value check. A 0-value does not generate a warning.
• Too many gates. There is a theoretical upper limit of 256 gates in a scheme, but the practical
limit is determined by the complexity of the logic. In practice the scheme would have to be very
complex, and this error is unlikely to occur.
• Too many links. There is no fixed upper limit to the number of links in a scheme. However, as
with the maximum number of gates, the practical limit is determined by the complexity of the
logic. In practice the scheme would have to be very complex, and this error is unlikely to occur.

Recover Scheme Logic Data from a Relay

Caution
Recovery of a scheme from a relay, although logically correct,
produces a diagram that may not look very like the original.
Extraction should be avoided if the scheme can be obtained from the file that was saved
when the scheme was sent to the relay. See Diagram Reconstruction from Relay Extraction.
1. Open a connection to the relay.

2. Choose Recover from Relay from the Device menu. If there is an unsaved scheme
you will be prompted to save it before continuing with the data recovery operation.

Recover Signal Names from a Relay

Recovery of signal names from a relay allows a diagram to be updated with e.g. a different
language without the need to redraw the logic.
1. Open a Connection to the relay.

2. Choose Recover Names-only From Relay from the Device menu.
3. Enter the group number of the relay the names are to be transferred from.
Note that there are no checks performed by the application to determine compatibility
between the loaded diagram and the relay's names. The onus is on you to utilise the correct
relay for this function.

Extract Signal Names from a Settings (*.set) File

Extraction of signal names from a settings file allows a diagram to be updated with opto,
relay, control input and function key names without the need to redraw the logic.
1. Choose Extract Names-only From .set File... from the Tools menu.
2. Browse to the required Settings file and click OK.
3. Enter the group number the names are to be extracted from.
If the number of names extracted from the Settings file differs from the number of names in
the loaded diagram then a warning will be given with details of the differences. The function
may be aborted at this stage without any changes being made to the diagram. However
there are no model number checks performed; the onus is on the user to utilise the correct
file for this function.

• Using a Modem
File Comparison
The currently loaded diagram can be compared with a disk based file. The utility is invoked
via the Compare Tool> or via the "Tools > Compare PSL Files..." menu option.
When invoked, the standard File Open dialog is displayed, allowing you to browse to the
target of the comparison. Once selected a sophisticated comparison is performed, and the
results displayed in a pop up window:
Select the "Ignore x/y differences" check box to reduce the number of items in the report
where a large proportion of them are caused by slight differences in symbol locations.
Use the "Copy" button to copy the text of the report to the Windows Clipboard. The results
may then be pasted into e.g. Windows Notepad.
Use the "Print" button to print the report.
Use the "Save As..." button to save the report as a text file from the Save As dialog.
Double clicking on an item in the report will minimise the report window and place the
mouse cursor over the symbol associated with the item:
Where there is no associated symbol the mouse cursor will be placed in the top left corner of
the canvas>.
In order to choose a different item, restore the report window by pressing the
button on the Windows Task Bar and double click on another item.
When you have finished with the report dismiss it by pressing the Cancel button.
Monitor DDB Signals

Allows the real time activity of a relay's PSL scheme to be graphically monitored.
Snapshots of the DDB states are read from the relay at regular intervals. Therefore short
duration changes may not always be seen. The highest available monitoring frequency will
be a product of the communications speed, plus the processing power of the PC and its
graphics system. Nevertheless, even with this borne in mind, there are many occasions
where the facility will prove useful, where accurate monitoring / timing are not crucial.
DDB monitoring can be safely used while the relay is running on-line protection, since the
operation involves reading of relay values only; i.e. no protection or other settings are
modified by it.
Operation
DDB monitoring can be operated in Real Mode when the relay to be tested is connected and
the scheme is loaded into the editor. For Demo Mode, a relay does not need to be
connected.
While operating in Real Mode care should be taken to ensure that the diagram and the
scheme in the relay are the same, otherwise strange and illogical results will be displayed. A
CRC failure warning will appear if the wrong scheme is used, but only if the relay supports
PSL CRCs. If you are unsure, then either extract the diagram from the relay, or send the
loaded scheme to the relay.
The dialog box is displayed while DDB monitoring is in operation. It combines the dynamic
control of the monitoring, as well as recording and playback facilities.
Choose Monitor DDB signals... from the Tools menu.
You will be given the choice of operating in Real Mode or Demo Mode.
The Monitor DDB Signals dialog appears. While this dialog is open, and while DDB
monitoring is in progress, the main window can be zoomed and scrolled. The Monitor DDB
Signals dialog has a banner across the bottom showing "DEMO MODE" while in Demo Mode.
Monitoring
The remainder of this section applies equally to operating in Real Mode or Demo Mode.
Choose the "" before commencing monitoring. The sample interval can be set from 0.1 to
100 seconds, although in practice the minimum will be determined by the communications
link and the PC performance.
Use the "Start Monitoring" button to start the graphical monitoring of the relay's DDB
signals. During monitoring the displayed scheme indicates RED for logic '1's and BLUE for
logic '0's.
Inputs to and outputs from the scheme being monitored indicate their logical sense with
adjacent RED '1's or BLUE '0's.
Samples are automatically recorded to the current session.
Information on the current session's status and its number of records is shown in the top
right of the dialog.
Use the "Clear all" button to clear all of the sessions from memory.
Playback
Once one or more sessions have been recorded they can be 'played back' into the graphical
scheme.
Use the "< Prev" and "Next >" buttons to choose the session to be played back.
Choose the "Playback interval" before or during playback in order to change its speed.
Use the "Play" button to commence playback of the selected session.
Use the "Fast Fwd>>" button to play the selected session as fast as possible, within the
performance constraints of the PC and graphics hardware.
Use the "Stop" button to cease playback or fast forwarding of the selected session.
Use the "Pause" button to suspend playback or fast forwarding of the selected session.
Use the tick box to repeatedly play or fast forward the selected session.
Use the "<" and ">" buttons to single step from record to record within the selected session.
Loading and Saving

The DDB monitoring sessions can be saved to or loaded from a .DMN file.
Use "Load..." to load a previously saved DDB monitoring file.
Use "Save as..." to save the in-memory session(s) to a DDB monitoring file.
When you have finished monitoring activities close the dialog by pressing the "Close"
button.
Rules and Constraints

• Using a Modem
Rules For Linking Symbols

Links can only be started from the output of a signal, gate, or conditioner, and can only be
ended on an input to a gate, output signal, conditioner or timer input.
Since signals can only be either an input or an output then the concept is somewhat
different. In order to follow the convention adopted for gates and conditioners input signals
are connected from the left, and output signals from the right. The Editor will automatically
enforce this convention.
A link attempt will be refused where one or more rules would otherwise be broken. A link will
be refused for the following reasons:
• An attempt to connect to a signal that is already driven. The cause of the refusal may not be
obvious, since the signal symbol may appear elsewhere in the diagram. Use Highlight a Path
to find the other signal.
• An attempt is made to repeat a link between two symbols. The cause of the refusal may not be
obvious, since the existing link may be represented elsewhere in the diagram. E.g. a gate is
driven directly from the output of an LED conditioner. An attempt is made to link a separate
LED signal corresponding to the LED conditioner (which is logically the same as the LED
conditioner output) to the gate. The Editor detects this and refuses the connection.
Inserting Contact and LED Signals

Contact and LED signals can only be inserted onto the canvas if their associated conditioners
are already present. This is deliberately enforced by the program. If this was not done there
could be a situation where a signal was utilised in a scheme without its associated
conditioner on the diagram. In such a situation the conditioner settings might affect the
signal, since the absence of the conditioner from the canvas would not disassociate it from
the signal. Under this circumstance the scheme might not behave in the expected manner.
Deleting Conditioners
An attempt to delete an LED Conditioner or a Contact Conditioner will be refused if there are
any associated signals for that conditioner anywhere on the diagram. This prevents the
situation where conditioner signals remain on the diagram, but the conditioners themselves
have been deleted. If the delete action is refused, find all of the occurrences of the
conditioner signals and delete them first. Use Highlight a Path to find the associated signals.
Using a Modem
The use of interface devices such as modems, radios, and protocol converters add delays to
the transmission of messages. To cope with these additional delays you may have to modify
the transaction values on the Transaction Values page of the Communications Setup dialog.
Only general advice can be given here because of the diversity of possible arrangements.
The following transaction values should not normally need to be changed from the standard
setups provided:
• Busy Holdoff Time

The following Transaction Values will normally need to be increased by the length of any
transmission delay introduced by the interface device(s). Allowance should be made for
delays in both the request and response messages.
• Reset Response Time

• Reset Response Time
The Try Count value may need to be increased if the communication link is noisy. However,
it is suggested that the value should not normally be increased beyond 5, as this will lead to
long waits when performing operations like scanning for available devices.
Transmit Delay Time may be used to introduce a delay between the PC receiving a response

Diagram Reconstruction after Recover from Relay

For relay versions prior to 3.0:
Although the extraction of a scheme from a relay is supported, the facility is provided as a
way of recovering a scheme in the event that the original file is unobtainable.
The recovered scheme will be logically correct, but some of the original graphical information
may be lost. Signals may be drawn in a vertical line down the left side of the canvas. Links
may be drawn orthogonally using the shortest path from A to B.
Some or all of the annotation added to the original diagram (titles, notes etc.) may be lost.
For relay versions up to 3.0:
Sometimes a gate type may not be what was expected, e.g. a 1-input AND gate in the
original scheme will appear as an OR gate when recovered. Programmable gates with an
inputs-to-trigger value of 1 will also appear as OR gates.
For relay versions from 3.0 onwards:

More information is stored in version 3 relays, thus enabling more of a diagram's aesthetic
details to be retained. In most cases the original diagram is fully retained, including the
annotation.
Gate types are always restored to their original type.
Text is given higher priority than links. Wherever space permits text will be stored
completely. If there is enough room to store all of the links they are stored next, and lastly
the graphic primitives (lines and rectangles). However, complex links that have been routed
manually are stored wherever possible.

CRC
The CRC type to use should normally be the Enhanced logic-only type. If "Enhanced logic-
only CRC" is not listed as an option by MiCOM S1 then the version of the loaded PSL file does
not support it. If this is the case choose "Logic-only CRC"
Only choose "Original (full) CRC" if you wish to maintain backwards compatibility with your
previous schemes.
See CRCs
Monitor DDB Signals

Allows the real time activity of a relay's PSL scheme to be graphically monitored.
Snapshots of the DDB states are read from the relay at regular intervals. Therefore short
duration changes may not always be seen. The highest available monitoring frequency will
be a product of the communications speed, plus the processing power of the PC and its
graphics system. Nevertheless, even with this borne in mind, there are many occasions
where the facility will prove useful, where accurate monitoring / timing are not crucial.
DDB monitoring can be safely used while the relay is running on-line protection, since the
operation involves reading of relay values only; i.e. no protection or other settings are
modified by it.
Operation
DDB monitoring can be operated in Real Mode when the relay to be tested is connected and
the scheme is loaded into the editor. For Demo Mode, a relay does not need to be
connected.
While operating in Real Mode care should be taken to ensure that the diagram and the
scheme in the relay are the same, otherwise strange and illogical results will be displayed. A
CRC failure warning will appear if the wrong scheme is used, but only if the relay supports
PSL CRCs. If you are unsure, then either extract the diagram from the relay, or send the
loaded scheme to the relay.
The dialog box is displayed while DDB monitoring is in operation. It combines the dynamic
control of the monitoring, as well as recording and playback facilities.
Choose Monitor DDB signals... from the Tools menu.
You will be given the choice of operating in Real Mode or Demo Mode.
The Monitor DDB Signals dialog appears. While this dialog is open, and while DDB
monitoring is in progress, the main window can be zoomed and scrolled. The Monitor DDB
Signals dialog has a banner across the bottom showing "DEMO MODE" while in Demo Mode.
Monitoring
The remainder of this section applies equally to operating in Real Mode or Demo Mode.
Choose the "" before commencing monitoring. The sample interval can be set from 0.1 to
100 seconds, although in practice the minimum will be determined by the communications
link and the PC performance.
Use the "Start Monitoring" button to start the graphical monitoring of the relay's DDB
signals. During monitoring the displayed scheme indicates RED for logic '1's and BLUE for
logic '0's.
Inputs to and outputs from the scheme being monitored indicate their logical sense with
adjacent RED '1's or BLUE '0's.
Samples are automatically recorded to the current session.
Information on the current session's status and its number of records is shown in the top
right of the dialog.
Use the "Clear all" button to clear all of the sessions from memory.
Playback
Once one or more sessions have been recorded they can be 'played back' into the graphical
scheme.
Use the "< Prev" and "Next >" buttons to choose the session to be played back.
Choose the "Playback interval" before or during playback in order to change its speed.
Use the "Play" button to commence playback of the selected session.
Use the "Fast Fwd>>" button to play the selected session as fast as possible, within the
performance constraints of the PC and graphics hardware.
Use the "Stop" button to cease playback or fast forwarding of the selected session.
Use the "Pause" button to suspend playback or fast forwarding of the selected session.
Use the tick box to repeatedly play or fast forward the selected session.
Use the "<" and ">" buttons to single step from record to record within the selected session.
Loading and Saving

The DDB monitoring sessions can be saved to or loaded from a .DMN file.
Use "Load..." to load a previously saved DDB monitoring file.
Use "Save as..." to save the in-memory session(s) to a DDB monitoring file.
When you have finished monitoring activities close the dialog by pressing the "Close"
button.

Timer Mode
The Timer Mode is set for Contact Conditioners and General Purpose Timers . Most of the
settings are identical for both types of logic component. Where there are differences these
are noted within the individual items below.
Pickup
When an input signal goes high the timer waits for a time indicated by the Pickup Time
before driving the output high. If the input drops off whilst the pick up timer is in the
process of expiring the timer immediately resets holding the output low.
Dropoff
When the input signal goes high the timer output will be driven high. When the input drops
off the timer waits for the time indicated by the Dropoff Time before driving the output low.
If the input picks up again whilst the timer is in the process of expiring the timer
immediately resets and continues to timeout holding the output high.
Dwell
When the input signal goes high the dwell timer immediately drives the output high for the
dwell setting time. If after this period expires the input is low, then the dwell timer output
will go low. If, however, the input is not low the output of the dwell timer follows the input
until it resets.
Pulse
When the input signal goes high the pulse timer immediately drives the output high for the
duration of the pulse setting time, irrespective of the status of the input. After this period
expires the output is driven low.
Pickup/Dropoff
This mode combines the functionality of both timers to produce delays on both pick up and
drop off.
Straight-through
The output signal follows the Input signal. Available for Contact Conditioners only.
Latch
When the input signal goes high the latch will immediately drive the output high until the
latch is reset by a global latch reset command. Available for Contact Conditioners only.

Glossary
Address
A unique number, between 1 and 254, that identifies a relay to the computer.
Alignment
The alignment buttons enable you to select a number of components and symbols and
line then up horizontally by top, middle or bottom, or vertically by left edge, centre or
right edge.
When you select a group of components and symbols, one component will be displayed
the with grey selection handles. This component is the anchor component and it is to
this that all other components will be aligned. To change the anchor component, click
on the required component while pressing the CTRL key.
See the Alignment Tools.
Anchor Component
The anchor component is the selected component that has grey Selection Handles.
When there is only one component selected it is always the anchor component.
Some operations, for example Highlighting, only operate on the anchor component and
ignore any other selected components.
Baud Rate
The speed at which data is transmitted over a communications link. This is shown in
bits per second.
Canvas
The background onto which components and symbols are placed to create a diagram.
Right click in an empty part of the canvas for the canvas pop-up menu.

Connection
An active link between a computer and a relay through which data can be sent.
Connection Point
A connection point is a location on a symbol to where a link may be attached. This is
often signified by a small tail that will be the start or end of the link.
When adding links the mouse pointer changes to a small target when positioned over a
usable connection point.
Contact Signal
A contact signal is used to drive one of the available relay contacts. Each contact has
an associated Contact Conditionercomponent. Contacts signal may only be added to the
canvas if their associated Contact Conditioner component is already present.

extraction and setting changes on remote relays within the substation environment.
CRC
The Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) is a value calculated from the diagram octet (byte)
values combined to form a four octet result. The CRC is more sophisticated than a
checksum, with a much smaller possibility of an accidentally correct result occurring. It
is used in the PSL Editor to verify that a diagram has not been modified.
See CRCs.
DDB
Digital Data Bus; the logical data bus in the relay that allow the mapping of signals to
and from the diagram.
DDB Monitoring

Framing
Framing relates to how a character in a communications message is formed.
Framing determines how many bits there are in a character and what the bits are used
for. This includes the number of start bits, the number of data bits, the number and
type of parity bits (none, odd or even) and the number of stop bits. Character framing
is only used for data transmission on IEC870 connections.
A 10 bit frame contains 1 start bit, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit.
An 11 bit frame contains 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 even parity bit and 1 stop bit.

Label
A label is a special text box that may be attached to Logic Symbol in your drawing.
When a symbol with a label is selected the selection handles include both the item and
the label.
LED Signal
A LED signal is used to drive one of the available LEDs in the relay. Each LED has an
associated LED Conditionercomponent. LED signals may only be added to the canvas if
their associated LED Conditioner component is already present.
Some relay models are equipped with tricolour LEDs. The LED Signal and LED
Conditioner tools change according to the LED type of the relay model.
Tricolour LED conditioners have two inputs and two outputs. The upper input drives the
red colour in the LED, and the lower drives the green colour. Asserting both inputs will
result in an amber colour.
