Working On Omicron Control Center

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.

On the Test Universe start page, by start clicking new test document under control center. This will open a new blank OCC file.


The OCC is basically divided into four sections:
  • Test Modules Tree List on the left side
  • Report pane on the right side
  • Ribbon control on the top
  • Status history on the bottom
On the ribbon control View tab, contains the Report View, the List View and the Script View.
  • In the Report View, we can customize the overall report.
  • In the List View, displayed all the test modules or objects embedded in the test document.
  • In the Script View, we can write and run scripts to control the test document.
OCC has a document properties which can be found at the ribbon control File tab. Under the summary tab, we can specify the document parameters so that we can implement references to the fields.


The field references are the placeholder of a certain information that defined on the document properties e.g., title, subject, company, etc. There are 20 user defined field that can be access through the script in the Script View


OCC test document has a page header and page footer which is used to place some information to display when the reports are printed like filename, page number, page count and etc.


OCC test document has a test object by default. It means that you only enter the settings for the test object once for all the test modules underneath. Meaning, the test object must be placed on the very top of the list. To open it, right click on it and select open or double click on it and XRIO application will open. XRIO is an omicron abbreviation which stands for eXtended Relay Interface by Omicron and RIO is stands for Relay Interface by Omicron. RIO made to map the behavior of the protection device regardless of its manufacture. But, it has a certain limits which are imposed by the content of the specific RIO functions used. XRIO take away those limitations. The users can now create parameters and used formulas to interlink into RIO functions.


The hardware configuration is very similar to the test object. This will applies to all subsequent test modules. This is the global hardware configuration in the OCC. Each test module has a local configuration, it will inherit the global hardware configurations.


There are difference between global and local hardware configuration. The global hardware configuration, here you can set the output configuration details depends on what is required on you testing. Also you can set here the analog output terminals, binary/analog input terminals and binary outputs terminal and its display name and connection terminal.


The local hardware configuration will inherits the global hardware configuration and you can't change the display names and its connections. The only thing you can change here are the test module outputs and inputs of each terminals.


Binary/analog inputs are part of hardware configurations. This will be triggered by the relay to start or stop timer or testing. All the tripping, closing or initiate signals coming from the relay can be define here as well as analog signal to be measured like voltage and current. And also, you can set the binary input as potential free of wet contact.


Binary output in the hardware configuration, unlike binary inputs, this will give signal to the relay to simulate the required signals in the relay testing.


Time source is another hardware module which can be use to synchronize multiple CMC devices. This is very useful in the end-to-end testing of the line protection.


Inserting a test module can be done by clicking the test module in the ribbon control under insert tab. Make sure that the test module is inserted under the hardware configuration. The are two option of inserting test module. The first one is create new and the next one is create from file. Once the test module is inserted, you can rename it.


And also, you can group the set of modules to make it tidy or organized. Just click the group button in the ribbon control under the insert tab. Once the group folder is created, you can rename it as well.



That's it. 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...
