Note:
1. These instructions assume the required device drivers for the relay firmware and setting version are
installed within DIGSI 5. If not warnings will be given indicating if device drivers first need to be
downloaded and installed.
2. These methods create a ‘plug-and-play’ version of the setting file. That is, the settings are not
intended for modification and loading back into the relay. This is a precaution in case IEC 61850
protocols are being used, as the extracted setting file would not have Station Level information.
3. DIGIS-5 Quick Note QN0009 shows how to connect to the relay via an Ethernet SCADA interface.
QUICK GUIDE TO: Extracting settings & fault records and other data VIA USB
Project/New
If you do not create project, you still can go online, individually access and save logs, fault records and
measurements. However, we recommend creating a Project first which allows all data and settings to be
saved (using less steps)

After double clicking in the Project Tree, the Fault Record window will open in the centre window. Click
“Read records”, Click yes on the connected device dialogs. If there are records in the relay, a list of the
available records will be displayed.

You should select the other process data and download it in turn.
E.g Logs/Operational Log
/Setting-history log
/Fault log
/User log 1
/User log 2
/Ground-fault log
The Read log entries button in each provides the mechanism to download any new log entries that may
have occurred since last download from the device.
Instantaneous Measurements:
If you also want a copy of the instantaneous measurement values, navigate in the online section to each
of the Measurement entries and select “Snapshot”. Repeat for each Measurement groups you want to
save.
Refer to DIGSI 5 Quick Notes 0001 for information on methods for sending DIGSI 5 project to others

The process is similar to that for extracting data via the USB explained earlier in this document. It is only Step
2 that differs.
This assumes your PC IP address is in the same IP subnet as the protection relay Port J. Quick Note 0009
details the connection method for accessing the relay via an Ethernet SCADA interface.
Click Online access, expand out and find the entry that matches your Ethernet connection, then click on
“Update accessible devices”.
At the bottom right of DIGSI, a progress bar is provided during the search for a Network connected relay.

The follow process can be used if you just require a fault record, not settings or other process data.
Select the record of interest, the select Download. The state changed to Downloaded
