Figure 2-18 Quick Settings Pages
Once changed, settings from this page can be sent to the device relay using the using the update button
and Group control at the top left corner of the page. If the setting were loaded from a file, rather
than directly from a device, the group box will initially be empty. Alternatively, the standard commands Relay
> Settings > Update Changed Settings and Relay > Settings > Send All Settings can be used to update all
settings or all changed settings across the tabs.
Saving, Opening, and Exporting Settings

The settings can be saved by using File > Save, or to save the file under a new name use the File > Save As
command. Before using either of these commands, ensure the settings window is active (topmost). Settings
can be saved in the original settings format (.set) or the new format (.rsf2) which holds more information and
is more secure. To save the contents of the Notes tab the user should use the new format. Settings that are
saved in either of these formats can be reloaded using the File > Open command.
To export settings in CSV, XML , TXT or RTF formats use the File > Save As command and select the type of file
required from the Save File as Type list. CSV and TXT files are files that can be opened in another application,
for example, CSV in the Excel spreadsheet or TXT in Notepad. XML files contain a list of the settings and their
descriptive information. RTF files are a table of the settings containing their present value, default value and
space for a user value, and can be opened in a suitable word processor, as illustrated in Figure 2-19.

Initially for each type of device there are default views defined containing the Analogue Channels, Digital
Channels and All Channels. Users can create new views or modify existing views, edit the analogue channel
information, and format the display using the View > Properties command.
A view has 2 vertical cursors (left and right), and a dashed dotted line showing the trigger point. In the
status bar at the bottom of the window is the time of the position at each cursor, and centrally the difference
between the times, as illustrated in Figure 2-21.
[sc_ReydispEvolution_DataHeaderTimes, 1, --_--]
Figure 2-21 Data Header Times
Up to 5 signals can be displayed on each graph, one of which can be a digital signal. Each graph in a view has
a channel label followed by the magnitude of the sample point at the left cursor at its left, and the magnitude
of the point at the right cursor to its right. When multiple signals are displayed on a graph this information
is repeated for each signal. When single signals are displayed the maximum and minimum magnitudes of the
displayed data are also shown at the right.
On digital signals the magnitude is shown as 1 (high) and 0 (low). In this edition of Reydisp digital signals are
drawn as a single line for low and a coloured block for high as illustrated in Figure 2-22.

Cursors
To move the cursors, the user must ensure the window is active by clicking in it with the mouse. The mouse
pointer can be moved over one of the cursors, and the cursor shape will change. When over the left cursor it
will show ← and when over the right →. If the user was to click and hold the left mouse button, the cursor
changes again to the move cursor ↔. While holding down the left mouse button the user can drag the cursor
to a new position. Notice the changes in the times and magnitudes. The mouse button van be released when
the cursor is in its new position.
NOTE
i The left and right cursors cannot cross, if one cursor is in the way of the other, move the other cursor first.
Smaller movements can be made by using the keyboards cursor keys (← →). The cursor to move is selected
by the View > Activate Left / Right Cursor command. The cursor that is active for keyboard control is shown
with a mark at its top. The last cursor moved with the mouse will be active for keyboard control.
Zoom
The data in the window can be expanded horizontally with the zoom function. The zoom function uses the
cursors to mark the extremities. Select View > Zoom In to magnify the data between the cursors. View >
Zoom Out reduces magnification slightly. View > Show Full removes any magnification. When a view is
zoomed horizontally a scrollbar at the bottom of the screen allows movement of the waveform horizontally.

which correspond to the COMTRADE HDR file on the Notes tab. The information on the Notes and INF tabs is
editable by the user.
Saving, Opening, and Exporting Data

Waveforms are by default saved in the private Reyrolle file format RDF2. They can also be saved in the original
Reydisp format (DAT) with some loss of information, or COMTRADE 1991 and 1999 formats. These types of
files can be reopened in Reydisp using the File > Open command. The data is saved by using File > Save, or
to save the file under a new name use the File > Save As command. Before using either of these commands,
ensure the settings window is active (topmost).

C53000-H7050-C032-1, Edition 03.2023

with the same time stamp. The first line in a block has the time stamp, followed by the event information,
subsequent lines in the block only have the event information. The event information consists of an event
type, an action and a description.
Definitions
Time format HH:MM:SS.SSSS
Date format dd/mm/yy
Event Type
IEC IEC defined event
Rey Reyrolle privately defined event
Action
There are 2 kinds of events, 1 and 2 stage. 1 stage events occur to signify an event has happened, for
example, the Start/Restart of the device. 2 stage events signify a binary event has changed state. An example
of this type would be when a starter picks-up (raised) and sometime later drops-off (cleared). In summary, a 1
stage event is Raised only, a 2 stage event maybe Raised or Cleared.
Description
The Event described in English.
Delta Time
If 2 events in the list are selected the time difference between them is displayed in the status bar at the
bottom of the Event window. This information can also be displayed using the Relay > Events > Events Time

The selected instruments are displayed in the list on the Active tab. The instruments are polled from top to
bottom of the list. The more instruments selected the slower the polling time. Instruments will only be polled
when the Active tab is selected.
The instrument lists can be sorted be clicking on the column headings. The sort is alphabetic by instrument
name or units when clicking respectively the Instrument or Unit columns. Clicking on the Value (or #) column
will sort the instrument by their logical identification number, which is how the available list is initially
displayed.
The System tab displays information about the device.
Several instrument windows can be opened simultaneously to poll different device addresses. When opened
the instrument window polls the current address. Therefore before opening an instrument window set the
address using the Relay > Set Address > Address or Relay > Set Address > Device Map commands.
Saving Instruments
The present content of the instrument window can be saved using the File > Save or to save the file under
a new name use the File > Save As command. Instruments are saved as text files which can be reopened in
a text editor, or as a text file in Reydisp. Before using either of these commands, ensure the faults window is
active (topmost).

Communications
3.1 Configure Communications

Reydisp can communicate with devices in several ways. These include Serial or USB Ports, TCP/IP ports and via
some control systems. All connections are managed through the Connection Manager (File > Connect). In
order to connect to a device the communication protocol, communication parameters, and the address of the
target device must be configured. The following section describes the various connection methods. Of course,
the user only needs to configure the types of connection in which they are interested.
Connecting a Device to a Serial Port or USB Port

It is beyond the scope of this manual to describe commissioning the communications features of a device in
detail; however, a brief description follows.
If the connection to the device is going to use its USB or electrical RS232 port connect it to the PC using a
suitable cable. If it uses the RS485 port, connect that to the PC using a suitable (Auto Device Enable (ADE)
supported) interface.
If a fibre optic connection is to be used the Transmit port (Tx) of the interface should connect to the Receive
(Rx) port of the device and the Tx port of the device should connect to the Rx port of the interface, as shown in
Figure 3-1.
[sc_ReydispEvolution_ConnectingADevice, 1, --_--]
Figure 3-1 Fibre Optic Connection
Star or Ring Connections

When using fibre optic connections to network several devices they can be connected in either a Star or a Ring
connection.
In a Star connection the port on the device is connected to a port on the hub. Each device will have a
dedicated communication link.
[sc_ReydispEvolution_StarConnection, 1, --_--]
Figure 3-2 Star Connection
In a Ring connection devices are connected to each other and to a single port on the interface. Serial
communication interface devices provide one fibre optic port for connecting a ring of Protection Devices. The
Tx from the interface goes to the Rx of the first device, the Tx of that device goes to the Rx of the second
device, whose Tx goes to the Rx of the third device etc. until finally the Tx of the last device goes to the Rx of
the interface as illustrated in Figure 3-3.
[sc_ReydispEvolution_RingConnection, 1, --_--]
Figure 3-3 Ring Connection
The main advantage of a ring connection is that it is inexpensive to implement. The main disadvantage is that
as there is a single communication link, and all devices act as repeaters, if you lose one device or one part of

C53000-H7050-C032-1, Edition 03.2023
Communications
the fibre cable the whole network will cease to operate. When using a fibre optic ring configuration all devices
in the ring must have their Data echo setting, for the port in use, set to ON.
For any type of fibre optic connection the device's Line Idle setting should be set to match that of the
interface.
The remaining communications settings on the device's port, Baud rate and Parity, should be set to
match those that will be used in Reydisp.
If the devices are configured in a network, whether star, ring, or RS485, each should be assigned a different
address, and not be set to address zero.
Configuring Reydisp for Serial Communications
[sc_ReydispEvolution_ConnectionManager, 1, en_US]
Figure 3-4 Connection Manager
Open the Connection Manager (File > Connect), as illustrated in Figure 3-4. Select the appropriate serial
connection on the computer, e.g. Com 2, and click Properties.
NOTE
i Only ports detected on the computer will be listed.
Set the Baud rate and Parity to match those set on the device, as illustrated in Figure 3-5.

USB – RS232 Converters

It is becoming standard for computers, especially laptops, not to have an RS232 port. In most cases this is
being solved by buying an additional USB – RS232 connection cable. Some problems, for example, delays
introduced into the communications, have been encountered when using different types of these cables.
Therefore, when using USB converters please make the communications timeout defined in the Advanced
Options at least 250 ms.
For further information refer to 3.3 Advanced Communications Options.
Configuring TCP/IP Communications

The TCP/IP driver allows communication through a TCP/IP network. When using TCP/IP communications the
devices will either have a TCP/IP connection to an Ethernet network, or be connected to an external Ethernet
interface, for example the Lantronix UDS-10, via their serial port.
Configuring Reydisp for TCP/IP Communications

In the Connection Manager, select the appropriate TCP/IP connection and click Properties or select Add new
socket connection and click Add to create a new connection. Set the parameters to match those of the
system; Host Address to the IP addresses of the device or interface, and the Port Number to its Reydisp port.
An example is shown in Figure 3-6.

Configuring Modem Communications

The Modem driver allows communication through a telephone network. When using Modem communications
the devices will be connected to a remote Modem usually via their serial port.
Configuring Reydisp for Modem Communications

In the Connection Manager, select the appropriate PSTN Modem connection and click Properties or select Add
new Telephone connection and click Add to create a new connection. Set the parameters to match those of
the system. An example is shown in Figure 3-7.

3.2 Communications Tutorial

The user should now be able to communicate with their chosen relay. If any problems are encountered try
Relay > Communications > Synchronise or Relay > Communications > Clear. The indicator at the bottom
left corner of the main screen will inform as to the state of the communications. Clicking the Stop icon
at the bottom left of the main screen will stop communications. The functions for communicating with
the devices are all on the relay menu. They are described in detail along with the other commands in the
Command Reference. During communication events may appear in the spontaneous events window which
can be opened at any time to examine these events.
NOTE
i Certain protection devices have a setting Operating Mode accessed either via a key switch on the fascia
or from the System Config sub menu of the Settings. The setting can be Remote, Local or Service
mode. These modes affect the communications function in the following way:
Remote Mode – All communication functions are available through the fibre optic ports.
Local Mode – Remote change of settings and remote control functions (e.g. close an output relay) through
the fibre optic ports are disabled.
Service Mode – Remote control functions (e.g. close an output relay) and sending spontaneous events and
measurands to the control system through the fibre optic ports are disabled.
Set the Address

The first thing to do is set the address of the target device in Reydisp. Use Relay > Set Address > Address to
set the address directly, or Relay > Set Address > Device Map to search for the device.
NOTE
i When the device map builds the list it takes time as it has to poll all the addresses and wait for a response.
As there are unlikely to be devices on all addresses, an upper limit can be set for the address to poll; the
lower limit is always 1. Use the command Relay > Set Address > Device Map Limit to set the highest
address to poll.
Next try to get some information back from the device. Use Relay > Information > Get System Information
and there should be a response similar to that shown in Figure 3-9.

To ensure the real time clock in the relay is correct select Relay > Control > Set Time and Date, and click Get
Relay Time button to get the time from the relay. Check the Synchronise and Synch to PC boxes, and then
press the Set Relay Time button to set the time.
Change Settings
To get a group of settings the user should use Relay > Settings > Get settings, after a short while the user
will be asked to select a settings group, then the Settings Editor is displayed.
To change the settings in the relay either use Relay > Settings > Update Changed Settings which sends the
settings changed to the group they came from, or Relay > Settings > Send Settings to send all the settings to
a group selected.
Get the active settings group with Relay > Settings > Get Setting Group. Activate a different group using
Relay > Settings > Set Setting Group.
A non-editable listing of a settings group (in English) is obtained by Relay > Settings > List Setting Group.
Get a Waveform
Download a waveform record with the command Relay > Waveform > Get Waveform Record. After a short
while the user will be asked to select a record, record number 1 is the latest. If no records are available trigger
a new waveform record remotely using Relay > Waveform > Trigger Waveform Record and repeat the Get
process. The data returned can be manipulated in the Waveform Display. All the data records in the relay can
be reset using Relay > Waveform > Reset Waveform Record. To display a list of the times the records were

These settings should be changed with caution.

The Communications Timeout is the amount of time (in milliseconds) Reydisp waits for a node to respond
during data transfer.
The Device Map Timeout is the amount of time (in milliseconds) Reydisp waits for a node to respond
during a device map function.
The Generate Data Time is the amount of time (in milliseconds) Reydisp waits before sending a further
request to a node after a successful response.
The Retries setting is the number of attempts the communications driver will make before it reports a
communications failure. This setting is not used by all drivers, and therefore may not be shown.
Set Do NOT Check Communications Connection to checked and Reydisp will not test for a connection
on the PC port. This can be used if Reydisp cannot detect a connection automatically, or problems are
encountered. When checked Reydisp will assume the connection is satisfactory. This only applies to the serial
port driver.
Use the Parity Check option to switch parity checking on or off.
NOTE
i Not all of these options are available on all drivers.

place.
During the conversion process an additional settings window is opened containing settings for the destina-
tion device with the compatible values from the original settings copied to it.
Incompatible settings are highlighted in the attention color; see Evolution Options. The user should check
these settings. If the destination device had fewer settings than the source device, but all its settings were
compatible the difference will be flagged, however, no settings will be highlighted for attention. When the
user is satisfied the settings in the new window are correct choose Send All Settings to begin the upload
with the converted settings.
