compatibility.

Inserting AREVA P543 relay into SICAM PAS ConfigurationModel Number P54331AA6M0520K 00.06

Step 1. AREVA TOOLSYou will need to download the software from the site below or goto areva website and you should seea link to the software.

- MICOM S1MICOM S1 is the needed software to change settings of the P543 relay:http://www.areva-td.com/scripts/solutions/publigen/content/templates/show.asp?P=1204&L=US

The courier protocol is used via the serial COM port at front side.If you have issues when inserting a device in MicomS1 you may need to enable the Courier New (TrueType)

You should try to do the following:

1. Start -> Control panel -> Fonts;2. Then try to find the Courier New (TrueType) font there.2.1 If it’s there then double-click on it, close an opened the window.

Make sure that the right P543 ICD file is used for import to project of digsi.By asking AREVA-TD Contact CENTRE.Email : [email protected] For this relay the file can be exported from the MicomS1 configurator. P543_____52B.ICDOnce you have the correct ICD fileIf you are supplied a new file you will need to copy the file into the folder below.I found various files already in this folder.Copy the file into this folder C:\Program Files\AREVA T&D\MiCOM S1 Studio\Studio\Templates\P54x

Checking your serial communicationYou can use quick connect or insert a device and then insert a new communicationBelow settings are default.I found that you need to retype the password: ABCD

Test the connection.The cable to use is a strait through cable. I used two crossover cables in series.To get the P543 ICD file from the Micom S1 software you must open the software and click on Tools/IEC61850 configurator.Once configurator is open click on tools/export installed ICD file.


3/9

Now select the device template you need. For P543 we used this one below. Must be the Templatefilename you copied into the templates folder.


4/9

Save the file to your hard drive folder.


5/9

Open Digsi.Create a new project for P543 relay only.

Insert the P543 ICD using the exported ICD as exported above.Insert your NTP clocks

Then insert a IEC61850 station I called it P543 SCD export.


6/9

Righ click the station and goto communicator.

Add the new device . PS: Digsi assigns a unique IED name OTH_0009

Open configurator and assign an IPaddress

Close the configurator.Right click object properties.Update all devices.

Now export the SCD file as below. Export it twice and call the one PAS version as you

will need to edit it in notepad.


7/9

Goto MicomS1 configuration tool and import the new SCD by click on File Import SCL.

Right click the OTH_xxxx file as above and send to device.Sometimes this task fails and must be repeated.

Next goto Sicam PAS and import the P543 SCD export file into your IEC61850 project.


8/9

In Sicam PAS Conf. you must change the Quality Change setting to No for every

grouplist. In this case there are 99. Also check that Data update is set to No.Cutout from Pixit manual. For P5437.2 Trigger conditionsThe following report trigger conditions are supported:• Integrity

• Data change• General interrogation Al l other t rigger condi tions are not supported and an attempt to enable them will result in anegative response being returned by the relay.The supported trigger options are set in the devices IED Capability Description (ICD) file todefine the IED’s reporting capability. This is not to be confused with the actual devicesconfiguration, which would normally be represented in a Configured IED Description (CID)file.

Unfortunately one cannot use the digsi tool to create lists so that you can reduce the

datset number. Below is a short cut.

Option Edit the SCD file that you called PAS version with notepad as below this will set

this setting in the import file to speed up the process.


9/9

Change this from Dyn to Fix.

Now import the scd into Sicam PAS.

You will get warning that TrgOps are not set. Ignore thisAfter the import you will now need to click on the device P543 and goto the Report

settings TrgOps writable and change this to Yes.

You will then note the the Quality Change setting is No in every list.

Update your system and the device will come online.Check points with Sicam PAS valueviewer.
