Application Configuration CAP 531

CAP 531 IS THE MASTER TOOL!

You MUST start the engineering from CAP 531.

After COMPILING the graphic configuration, CAP 531 passes
IMPORTANT INFORMATION to other subtools:

PCM 600 receives the list of used functions

SMT receives the list of hardware cards and used virtual I/O
GDE receives the used control and measurement blocks

 Application Configuration CAP 531

In CAP 531 the application configuration is drawn without

considering the hardware set-up of the IED.

The association VIRTUAL I/O PHISICAL I/O is done in SIGNAL

 CAP 531 On Line Software Library Synchronization
ONLINE / UPLOAD OPTIONS

IF YOU HAVE THE IED connected to the PC, the fastest way to get the PC
function library synchronized with the IED library is to run Upload Options:

BEFORE UPLOAD OPTIONS:

PC contains more functions than IED

When the Application Configuration is
ready you have to compile it

Note: The Graphic Application

Configuration does not contain any
Input/Output information. It only
contains VIRTUAL I/O information!

CAP 531 Compare Configurations

CAP 531 has the possibility to compare the configuration located

into the PC with the configuration stored into the terminal.

This process is very useful to check if the configuration stored in

the terminal is the same configuration which was downloaded
during the commissioning or during the last download.
