Overview The AcSElerator Quickset application is the primary mechanism for communicating, configuring and monitoring the attached SEL protective relays. Figure 1 is the default page when the program is first loaded and selection of items A, B, D or G will open their respective operations.

Figure 2 is the getting started window which describes the operations available after program start-up; there is the option to cause this widow to open at startup (currently disabled).

Settings Editor The settings editor is the primary programing environment for the relays, where the structure of the dropdown menu is designed specifically for the connected or designed relay. Figure 3 contains the settings editor for the SEL-787 relay while Figure 4 provides a comparison of the differences in the configuration options between the SEL-421 and 751A. All settings are edited under their requisite subsections and utilise SELogic programming.

Opening Settings Editor There are three methods to access the requisite settings editor of the desired relay. 1. Online Relay This method is the easiest and quickest mechanism to open the required settings editor. Step 1. Connect the desired relay to the PC via the available serial DB-9 connection cable. Step 2. Open the communications parameters window, shown below, accessible via the shortcut Ctrl + R or by navigating to the communications tab and selecting parameters.

Step 3. Select the active connection type to be serial, ensure the communication device is set to the connection serial port, enter the Relay level 1 and 2 s in the fields provided and select the correct baud rate then select APPLY or OK. If the baud rate is unknown then select auto detect and select apply, the program will then begin detecting the baud rate required (this process will take a while). The remaining serial parameters can remain as shown. Step 4. Select the Read Settings from Device button and the program will begin ing the current settings from the relay and the settings editor window will open indicating the relay connected.

2. Create New Settings This process requires the relay Part Number and FID in order to continue. These numbers can be obtained from the relay front display under the status section. Step 1. Select the Create New Settings button the Settings Editor Selection window.

and the process will open

Step 2. Select the Relay family; model number and version to match the FID of the relay the click OK, the components being selected are highlighted in bold in the example view. The program will then load the Device Part Number window.

Step 3. Modify all the fields such that the displayed P/N matches that of the relay then select OK, the program will then open the requisite relay Settings Editor window.

3. Load previous settings This process requires the existence of previously saved relay settings in the current active settings database. Step 1. Select the Open Saved Settings button and the relay will display all the available saved settings within the current active database,

example shown below. Step 2. Select the desired settings and select OK. The settings editor will then open with the settings as previously saved.

SELogic SELogic is the programming language/mechanism to program the relay settings. It is a proprietary coding mechanism which is essential Boolean and mathematical operators interwoven with access to the relay words and targets to allow configuration of functionality. There is a free tutorial available directly from the SEL website called “Introduction to SEL relays” available to at https://www.selinc.com/seluniversity/courses/cbt/101/. This tutorial provides a basic introduction to the operation and control of SEL relays and includes examples of programming using SELogic. Figure 5 contains an example of the SELogic programming window for the configuration of the ULTRIP configuration element; this allows easy and convenient programming using SELogic providing access to a list of all available relay words and easy entry of logic operators. The field to the top is the SELogic equation being developed, the bottom left is the relay word navigator and the right will contain a list of available relay words after selecting a specific word bit field. This programming widow is accessible by pressing the button next to the required configuration element, as illustrated in Figure 6.

Command Window The command window, accessible by pressing the associated button , is a terminal program which can be used to monitor, edit and control specific elements within the connected relay through the use of commands. This also acts a window into the serial communications while the HMI, settings , or automated communications are in progress. To use the command window the necessary access level may need to be activated, this can be achieved by using the commands ACC and 2AC to input the required s and access restricted command operations. The section in this manual titled

contains a list of commands and s common across all the relays. The full extent of commands and s are contained within the respective relay instruction manuals.

Database Management Activation In the event there is no active database which contains no useful settings available a previous or external database can be activated by the following: Step 1. Navigate to File and select the Activate Database menu item. A browser window will then open. Step 2. Use the browser to navigate to the location and select the required database file. To activate an external database, the required database needs to have been created previously, If this is not the case then the previous database may have been unintentionally deleted or no settings have been saved previously.

Database Export To copy the database to an external location the following steps should be followed: Step 1.

Navigate to file and select Database Manager or selecting the

associated button , doing so will open the following, select the active tab to access the copy options.

Step 2. Create the database in the external location by clicking the browse button next to the empty (red) Database B field and browse to an existing located database file or create a new file click ok. A popup may occur asking to create the database file if it doesn’t already exist, select OK.

Step 3. Highlight the necessary settings within the current database and select the arrow pointing to the other database location, the operation of the arrow is dependent upon the selection of the Copy or Move toggles below. Step 4.

Management The management of individual settings can be conducted through the following window, accessed by navigating to file and select Database Manager or selecting the associated button , doing so will open the following, select the active tab to access the copy options.

This window allows for individual settings to be renamed, duplicated to external files or deleted by operation of the associated buttons. This also offers the mechanism to import or export settings to and from text based files for configuration analysis without the use of the AcSELerator Quickset Environment.

HMI The Human Machine Interface available through pressing the HMI button and only accessible while an active relay is connected to the Quickset Program. The HMI provides displays to monitor various metered elements and the status of relay elements and provides control of the various functionality of the relay (I/O control, circuit breaker control and self-tests and alarm elements). Figure 7 shows the HMI device overview for the SEL-787 relay including the available windows and illustrates the structure of the HMI itself from navigation menu (left) and interface window (right).

Commands and s s The following s and their associated access levels are common to all relays in the SEL Protection and Monitoring System. Access Comm w Level and ord* Lervel1 ACC OTTER Level 2 2AC TAIL *Note the s are case sensitive Any other relay specific s can be obtained directly from the associated instruction manual.

Commands The following commands are common to most of the relays in the SEL Protection and Monitoring System and are used within the command window. Specific command options and their function are detailed in the instruction manuals for each of the specific relay.
