GE SR750/760 Relay Tutorials - Part 3: Setup Omicron Control Center (OCC) for Testing

Welcome to the third part of GE SR750/760 Relay Tutorial series. In this tutorial, I will show you how to setup the Omicron Control Center (OCC) to test the GE SR750/760 relay. I will show you how to setup the global Hardware Configuration and device information and parameters in the Test Object.

The Omicron Control Center (OCC) is a test document that is use to combine multiple test modules in a single file like archive file. A single OCC file can be used to test a relay completely, rather than the multiple individual test modules. Click the link below to check overview about the Omicron Control Center:
Working on Omicron Control Center
If you haven't seen the second part of the tutorial of this series, click the link below.
Part 2: Connect laptop to GE Multilin 750/760 Relay and Upload/Download Relay Settings

Run the Omicron Test Universe application then click New Test Document under Control Center section. Then save the document.


First, I'm gonna setup the global Hardware Configuration. To do this, double click the Hardware Configuration to open it the click Configure button under General tab and Test Set(s) group.


Select 4x300V, 85VA @ 85V, 1Arms for the voltage source and select 3x64A, 860VA @ 50A, 25Vrms for the current source. VT/CT information can be define here by clicking Connect VT/CT buttons. Check the working on Omicron Control Center tutorial to see how to set additional information of the VT/CT. After setting up the device configuration, click OK to close this window.


You might wonder why did I selected 3x64A, 860VA @ 50A, 25Vrms, it's because the relay I'm going to test has 5 amps secondary rating. The testing might required high current. With this output the test can generate up to 64 amps three phase. Three phase voltage is also require plus single phase for GFN (Ground Fault Neutralizer) voltage. See the diagram below:


In the Analog Outputs tab, define the display name for each terminal according to the AC diagram above.


In the image below, shows the relay input and output terminals assignment on the relay.


In the Binary/Analog Inputs, define the display name for each input according to the relay outputs assignment on the assembled forms drawing above.


In the Binary/Analog Inputs, define the display name for each output according to the relay inputs assignment on the assembled forms drawing above then click OK to apply the configurations and close then save the test document.


Now, open the Test Object by double clicking on it. By default, there is one function added in the node RIO called Device, one custom block and Script Functions when in advanced mode. Set the view into Advanced so that we can add additional functions and relay parameters. To do that, click View menu the select Advanced.


Right click on the Custom node then select Details or press Ctrl+E in the keyboard then change the name to GE SR750/760 then click OK close it and apply the changes. Changing custom block name will give us easy to identify what type of relay we are working on.


Now, I will add relay parameter settings that I can use during testing. Select GE SR750/760 node and right click on it then select add block or hit Ctrl+B or click Block menu the select Add.


B1 will inserted after the block added. Double click on it or right click on it the select Details to change it's properties. In the Block Details dialog box, there many parameters that can be define. Click the Help button for further details. Set the ID to RELAY_PARAMETERS and Name to Relay Parameters as shown in the picture below. The ID property must be no space character otherwise it will give you error message. Once the details are set, click OK to close the dialog box and apply changes.


In the Relay Parameters node, I'm going to add 5 blocks inside of this node.


I'm going to set those blocks like the setting structures of the EnerVista 750/760 Setup.


Once the details are sets, the Test Object structures should be like in the image below. I have set the B1 to Device Definition, B2 to System Setup, B3 to Protection, B4 to Monitoring and B5 to Control. As you can see I didn't add other relay parameters like relay setup, logic inputs, outputs relay and modbus user map because those are not relevant for testing of that relay.


Now, I'm going to add Order Code, Version and Serial Number parameters on the Test Object Device Definition node like in the image below.


Right click on to Device Definition node then click Add Parameter. Once the Add New Parameter dialog box popup, enter the parameter ID. ORDER_CODE for order code, VERSION for version and SERIAL_NUMBER for serial number and select String data type for each parameter in the data type selection. Again, the ID must not have a space character. Use underscore symbol if you want to separate each word like I did.


Once the parameters are added, we have to change the name and set other properties so that it is easy to identify each parameter's purpose.


In the image below, shown the parameter's details are changed.


That's it for now. In the next part of the tutorial series, I will show you how to add number parameters, enumeration parameters, etc. I will show you how to link those parameters into other parameters and RIO functions. I will show you how to write formulas in the Script Function editor and I will show you how to use it.

Summary:
In this tutorial series, you learned:
  • Create new test document (OCC)
  • Configure global hardware configuration
  • Setup the XRIO test object
  • Add XRIO blocks and change it's properties
  • Add XRIO parameters and change it's properties
See you next time.

Micom SE Studio1 Import Filter - Creating User Interface (UI)

Welcome to my page and welcome to the continuation of Omicron Import Filter tutorial series. In this tutorial, I will show you how to create the actual import filter fom Micom relays. In this tutorial, we will focus on the Visual Studio program. We're going to modify the codes in our project called MyImportFilter that we've created in the previous tutorial.  Download the project in this link  MyImportFilter - Process Relay Setting Parameters . Extract and open the project. Once the project is loaded, add New Folder inside the project and set the name to SEStudio1. We need this to make organize our project class filter.  SE Studio 1 stands for Schneider Electric Studio 1 which is the software that used in communicating MiCOM relays particularly P12x series. And yes we're going to create a new import filter and user interface form MiCOM P12x series relay. I think this will applied to other MiCOM P series relay. Add a new Form inside the  SEStudio1 folder...

Install And Use Newly Created Import Filter In Omicron Test Universe

Welcome to my page. This is the second part of the Omicron Import Filter tutorial series. In this tutorial, I will show you how install  and use the Import Filter that we've created in the previous tutorial in this series using two methods.  The first one via Test Object and the second one is via script. Open the Visual Studio project called MyImportFilter that we created in the first part of tutorial which can be found here ( Omicron Import Filter - Create New Filter ). Once the project opened, right click on the project at the solution explorer the click Open Folder in File Explorer. The project file directory will open. Open the  bin\Debug folder and you will find the two files in that folder ( MyImportFilter.dll and  SampleFilter.xriofilter ). Create new folder in that directory and set the folder name to  MyImportFilter . Move the  MyImportFilter.dll file to the  MyImportFilter folder then, copy the  MyImportFilter folder and the  Sa...

Change Data With Feedback In Omicron Control Center Custom Dialog

Welcome to the fifth and final part of the tutorial series about Omicron Control Center (OCC) Custom Dialog. In this tutorial, I will show you how to get a real-time feedback when data was change. This will be helpful that you will be notified what will be the outcome of the changed data. Check the video below. Now, open the OCC document that we used in the previous tutorial. If you don't have it check this link ( Omicron Control Center Custom Dialog - Creating Custom Dialog With Dropdown Control ) then come back here once you have OCC document. When the document is loaded, open the script view by clicking the Script View button under the View tab then stop the script if its running. Now, find the  SetTheSourceController sub procedure. We're going to modify this codes and use different methods of loading data from the test object and saving back to test object. Point the mouse pointer and click between  Begin Dialog and  End Dialog then click the Edit Dialog button un...
