Open the editor by double clicking on “Devices and networks” in the project tree The back view of the devices with all interfaces is visible in the “Device view” After selecting the interface in the device view, the IP address can be set
The devices can be added to one or more subnets in the “Network view” Click on the correct interface and add a subnet The interfaces of the other devices can then be connected to the same subnet
Initialize the device Why do we have to initialize?
12 DIGSI 5 - Online Connection to the device
The device has to be initialized via the USB interface, if you want to download parameters into the device for the first time The online device receives its IP address The offline configuration in the project receives the serial number (BM number) of the SIPROTEC relay
Direct connection to a SIPROTEC device from the offline configuration Right-click on the device and select “Connect to device” A warning will appear, if the serial number of the online device and the offline configuration differs If the device is not already available in the Lifelist (Online access), it will appear under “Other accessible devices”
Establish a connection Plug & Play – Find the devices
12 DIGSI 5 - Online Connection to the device
If the project does not already contain the device, DIGSI 5 can search it for you Select the network interface that is connected to the device and click on „Update accessible devices“ All online devices within the local network will appear in the lifelist
Establish a connection Plug & Play – Copy a device to the project
12 DIGSI 5 - Online Connection to the device
A connected device can directly be copied to a project Get the device data on site without having the original project The online device can be copied to the project even if the configuration already exists
Establish a connection Plug & Play – Create an empty offline configuration
12 DIGSI 5 - Online Connection to the device
An empty offline configuration can be added to the project The new configuration has the same order code as the online device The application template can be chosen independently of the original online device
Receive the process data directly from your offline configuration The connection to the online device will be initiated directly After the process data has been downloaded, the connection will be disconnected automatically
Measurement Snapshots are saved in the offline configuration Change between primary, secondary and percentage values Save snapshots to a file (e.g. csv)
Verify the wiring Diagnostic tools for the communication module Monitoring of analog inputs Test the control functions Test the circuit breaker Check the correct behavior of the protection functions Test your communication
Safety Confirmation IDs for different safety-relevant device operations Security Password for a secure DIGSI connection (NERC compliant) Passwords and confirmation IDs can be changed individually for each device Passwords and confirmation IDs can be reset
