5. WARNINGS REGARDING USE OF SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC PRODUCTS


Schneider Electric products are not designed with components and testing for a level of
reliability suitable for use in or in connection with surgical implants or as critical components
in any life support systems whose failure to perform can reasonably be expected to cause
significant injuries to a human.
In any application, including the above reliability of operation of the software products can be
impaired by adverse factors, including -but not limited- to fluctuations in electrical power
supply, computer hardware malfunctions, computer operating system, software fitness,
fitness of compilers and development software used to develop an application, installation
errors, software and hardware compatibility problems, malfunctions or failures of electronic
monitoring or control devices, transient failures of electronic systems (hardware and/or
software), unanticipated uses or misuses, or errors from the user or applications designer
(adverse factors such as these are collectively termed "System failures").
Any application where a system failure would create a risk of harm to property or persons
(including the risk of bodily injuries and death) should not be reliant solely upon one form of
electronic system due to the risk of system failure to avoid damage, injury or death, the user
or application designer must take reasonably steps to protect against system failure,
including -but not limited- to back-up or shut-down mechanisms, not because end-user
system is customised and differs from Schneider Electric testing platforms but also a user or
application designer may use Schneider Electric products in combination with other
products.
These actions cannot be evaluated or contemplated by Schneider Electric; Thus, the user or
application designer is ultimately responsible for verifying and validating the suitability of
Schneider Electric products whenever they are incorporated in a system or application, even
without limitation of the appropriate design, process and safety levels of such system or
application.

FIGURE 1: LOGICAL ARCHITECTURE


The IEC 61850 agency is a generic component used in all PACiS devices. This component
is described in [SBUS_AGENCY] reference document, from a user point of view. The IEC
61850 agency offers services to a set of applications.
PACiS SMT is one of these applications. It just uses client side services. In the SMT
software the IEC agency is a DLL.
Other applications can use the IEC 61850 agency. But there is no impact on PACiS SMT.
The IEC 61850 agency supports:

• The IEC 61850 device interface,

• The IEC 61850 protocol management function.


PACiS SMT supports all others functions (i.e. that are not communication related) and the
other system external interfaces.
PACiS SMT sees the “IEC 61850 world” only through the “IEC 61850 agency”.
The following sections apply to describe the PACiS SMT component.
Functional Description SMT/EN FT/D10

PACiS SMT Page 5/6

2.2 PACiS SMT Architecture


It is made of two software components:

• The System Management tool HMI (SysMntHMI).

• The System Management tool Kernel (SysMntKernel).


PACiS SMT is made up of only one PACiS SMT Kernel, which communicates with several
PACiS SMT HMI.
PACiS SMT Kernel manages the global state of PACiS SMT.
It assumes the communication with the IEC 61850 agency, is responsible for the storage and
access to SystemDataBag, and manages requests from all PACiS SMT HMI.
PACiS SMT HMI manages the User Interface.
PACiS SMT is distributed over two different hardware types:

• Desktop PC, for HMI part (on which PACiS SMT HMI software runs)

• Server PC, for kernel part (on which PACiS SMT Kernel software runs)
The following figure describes the link between the physical architecture and the logical
architecture:

FIGURE 2: PHYSICAL AND LOGICAL ARCHITECTURE RELATION


The Desktop PC is a standard PC computer for HMI purpose:

• colour display,

• mouse,

• keyboard,

• network card.
SMT/EN FT/D10 Functional Description

Page 6/6 PACiS SMT

The Server PC is a standard PC computer with data storage and data export and import
feature:

• data file system,

• removable storage devices (CD-ROM, tape, floppy).


Some Desktop PC can be remote and uses public network like Internet to access the Server
PC.
A PACiS system contains only one Server PC; this software does not limit the number of
Desktop PC and IEC 61850 devices.

PACiS SMT Page 5/30

3. INSTALLATION
NOTE: The SMT can be installed on the same PC as OI client (you will be
able to switch between them) or GTW.
This chapter describes the SMT application installation. The IEC 61850 agency module
must be installed separately from the PACiS SMT application.
PACiS SMT KERNEL installation can only be done from the CD-ROM.
PACiS SMT HMI installation can be done from the CD-ROM, or from the
PACiS SMT KERNEL PC using PACiS SMT HMI set-up (also known as remote PACiS SMT
HMI installation).
In all cases the program group named SMT is created in PACiS program group. This PACiS
SMT group contains short-cut(s) to run PACiS SMT HMI and the PACiS SMT KERNEL.
Once components have been installed they can be personalised.
To work properly, the PACiS SMT needs at least Java Runtime Environment (JRE®)
release. When installing the PACiS SMT component(s) from CD-ROM or from the PACiS
SMT KERNEL PC using installation software, this installation software looks for JRE®: if
JRE® is not found, or if the JRE® installed release is not at least release 1.4.2, JRE®
1.4.2_10 or JRE® 6 installation is proposed.
NOTE: The cyber-security is ensured without using all Windows
services (in particular some Windows Firewall services can be
disabled). Please refer on chapter PACiS/CS for cyber-security
recommendations
If a component was already installed on the PC, all the parameter values defined in its
initialisation file are copied out.
Before beginning the installation on Windows Seven, check and do following:

Step Action
1 Administrator rights
The Installation on Windows Seven must to be done with Administrator rights.
2 Disabling Windows Update
The Windows Update from the Control Panel is to be inactive.
• Access "Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Update"
• Click "Turn Windows Update on or off"
• Choose option "Never check for updates"
SMT/EN IN/D10 Installation

Page 6/30 PACiS SMT

Step Action
3 Disabling Windows Firewall
The Windows Firewall from the Control Panel has to be inactive.
• Access "Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Firewall"
• Click "Turn Windows Firewall on or off"
• Choose options "Turn off Windows Firewall"

PACiS SMT Page 7/30

Step Action
• Choose tab "Visual Effects"
• Choose option "Adjust for best appearance"

3.1 Installation constraints

• If a PACiS SMT HMI has already been installed from the CR-ROM on a PC, it's not
possible to install a PACiS SMT HMI from the PACiS SMT KERNEL PC, and vice-
versa,

• If a single component (i.e. PACiS SMT KERNEL or PACiS SMT HMI) is installed, a
new installation of this component at another location implies that previous installation
is "lost" and will have to be uninstalled manually,

• If only PACiS SMT KERNEL is installed, it will not be possible to install a PACiS SMT
HMI in the future, without "loosing" PACiS SMT KERNEL installation - then if you plan
to install a PACiS SMT HMI with the PACiS SMT KERNEL you must install it when
installing the PACiS SMT KERNEL,

• If only PACiS SMT HMI is installed, it will not be possible to install a


PACiS SMT KERNEL in the future, without "loosing" PACiS SMT HMI installation -
then if you plan to install a PACiS SMT KERNEL with the PACiS SMT HMI you must
install it when installing the PACiS SMT HMI,

• If both PACiS SMT KERNEL and PACiS SMT HMI have been installed, it's possible to
install only PACiS SMT KERNEL or PACiS SMT HMI at the same location - installing
a new PACiS SMT KERNEL or PACiS SMT HMI (or both) at a different location
implies that previous installation is "lost" and will have to be uninstalled manually,

• It is not possible to install PACiS SMT HMI set-up without PACiS SMT KERNEL, even
if a previous PACiS SMT KERNEL release is already installed.
SMT/EN IN/D10 Installation

PACiS SMT Page 9/30

3.2.2 Installing
NOTE: On Windows Seven, the SMT Installation and execution must be
done with Administrator rights.
If a PACiS SMT KERNEL or a PACiS SMT HMI is running user will be prompted to stop
them before continuing the installation.
Just a double click on SMT-R3.exe is needed for launching PACiS SMT set-up. After the
welcome window, you need to read the Licence Agreement and to accept it.

FIGURE 1: LICENSE AGREEMENT


You need then to select the components to be installed using the following dialog box:

FIGURE 2: COMPONENT SELECTION


SMT/EN IN/D10 Installation

Page 10/30 PACiS SMT

Select the component(s) you want to install.


PACiS SMT HMI set-up is used for PACiS SMT HMI remote installation from
PACiS SMT KERNEL PC (without CR-ROM).
The next dialog box asks for the destination folder (PACiS SMT location: SMT_DIR):

FIGURE 3: CHOOSE LOCATION


The default location is C:\Program files\Pacis\Smt. The user can change this default
destination folder with the "Browse" button.
If PACiS SMT has already been installed, the location proposed is the last one used
(location for the current version); changing this location in this case (a previous release is
installed) will involve that the previous PACiS SMT should be explicitly uninstalled by
removing the relevant directories (from now, uninstall (see 0.) concerns the new PACiS SMT
location).
If PACiS SMT has already been installed, the parameters of the current version (in kernel.ini
and hmi.ini) will be proposed as the default value for the current installation.
If the new release is installed at the same place than the previous one, old "*.properties"
files are saved in "*.properties_bak", old %SMT_DIR%/exe/help/PACiS SMT HMI files are
saved in %SMT_DIR%/exe/help/PACiS SMT HMI/bak directory and old
%SMT_DIR%/exe/help/PACiS SMT KERNEL files are saved in
%SMT_DIR%/exe/help/PACiS SMT KERNEL/bak directory.

The next dialog box allows to select the COMTRADE revision year (per default COMTRADE
2001).

FIGURE 4: SELECT COMTRADE REVISION YEAR


The two or three next dialog boxes allow to modify the PACiS SMT default parameters.
These parameters are then inserted in PACiS SMT initialisation files
(PACiS SMT KERNEL.ini and PACiS SMT HMI.ini in %SMT_DIR%).

FIGURE 5: KERNEL AND HMI PARAMETERS

• RMI port: port opened by PACiS SMT KERNEL for RMI exchanges with
PACiS SMT HMI (must be included between 0 and 65535),
SMT/EN IN/D10 Installation

Page 12/30 PACiS SMT

• Mcast port: port opened by each PACiS SMT HMI for receiving multicast messages
from PACiS SMT KERNEL (must be included between 0 and 65535),

• 1 Mcast ad: multicast address for system DB messages (230.0.0.251 for device status
and 230.0.0.252 for log). Reminder: a multicast address must be included between
224.0.0.0 and 239.255.255.253.
WARNING: IF SEVERAL PACiS SMTS ARE INSTALLED OVER A GLOBAL NETWORK
(I.E. EACH PACiS SYSTEM DOES NOT HAVE ITS OWN ISOLATED
NETWORK), THE “MCAST PORT” AND “1 MCAST AD” PARAMETERS MUST
BE DIFFERENT AND THERE MUST NOT BE ANY COVERING BETWEEN
MULTICAST ADDRESSES.
If only PACiS SMT HMI is installed the third and last parameter dialog box is the following:

FIGURE 6: SMT HMI PARAMETERS (3)

• KERNEL add: name/IP address of the PC where PACiS SMT KERNEL is installed
Installation SMT/EN IN/D10

PACiS SMT Page 13/30

If PACiS SMT KERNEL is installed the third parameter dialog box is the following:

FIGURE 7: SMT KERNEL PARAMETERS (3)

• max DB sz: maximum size (in Kbytes) allowed for storing system databases.

• max Dist sz: maximum size (in Kbytes) allowed for storing disturbance files.
WARNING: FOR MAX DB FOR BIG BD USED 10.000.000 SIZE MAX

If PACiS SMT KERNEL is installed the fourth parameter dialog box is the following:

FIGURE 8: SMT KERNEL PARAMETERS (4)


SMT/EN IN/D10 Installation

Page 14/30 PACiS SMT

• Disturbance files storage location: default value can be modified using the browse
button. Once value is entered the installation program tries to create the directory if it
doesn’t exist: if it fails the user has to set a new directory name which can be created
(the parameter can be modified after installation in PACiS SMT KERNEL.ini).
Disturbance converter files are stored under %SMT_DIR%/disturbance_converters
directory. This location can be changed after installation in PACiS SMT kernel.ini file with
DisturbanceConvertersPath parameter.

By default DisturbanceConvertersPath=C:\Program
Files\Pacis\Smt\disturbance_converters\COMTRADE2001” to
DisturbanceConvertersPath=C:\Program
Files\Pacis\Smt\disturbance_converters\COMTRADE1997 to switch from 2001 to 1997
revision year of the COMTRADE standard.

• A new parameter has been added to the kernel.ini file. This parameter is used to
define an additional storage path for the disturbance files. The disturbance files will be
store in the default directory AND in this additional directory. This additional directory
name may point to a remote PC identified by its IP address or an network name.
Example:
DisturbanceAlternateStoragePath = \\PCLD533NT5\Disturbance
Where PCLD533NT5 is a remote PC network name and DisturbanceDir a directory on this
remote PC. The remote directory must be shared to allow the file transfer from the SMT PC
to the remote PC, sharing with "Full control" permission – writing and reading.
For a diskless PC, the SMT INSTALLATION requires the definition of a remote folder (i.e. on
an other PC) in order to store all files managed by the SMT (log files, databases, disturbance
files).

FIGURE 9: SMT DATA STORAGE ROOT


NOTE: If the field "Storage dir" is used, it must be shared with the current PC,
sharing with "Full control" permission – writing and reading.
Example:
SmtDataRoot=\\10.22.186.122\pacis\smt_data_root

PACiS SMT Page 17/30

3.3 PACiS SMT Remote HMI installation


As already said, PACiS SMT HMI can be installed alone on another PC where
PACiS SMT KERNEL is installed. This implies that the %SMT_DIR%/install_hmi directory
located on PACiS SMT KERNEL PC must be shared for reading:

• Right-click %SMT_DIR%/install_hmi and then click Properties

• In the displayed dialog box (caption: install_hmi properties) click the Sharing tabbed
panel, click the Share this folder radio button and then click the OK button.

FIGURE 10: REMOTE HMI INSTALLATION (STEP 1)


SMT/EN IN/D10 Installation

Page 18/30 PACiS SMT

From PACiS SMT HMI PC, you must open a network device with the PACiS SMT KERNEL
PC (don't use network neighbourhood), and copy the "install_hmi" folder on the local
machine. From the copied folder, launch the "install.bat" command.

FIGURE 11: REMOTE HMI INSTALLATION (STEP 2)


There's no parameter to give during installation.
The following message appears in the console window: “WARNING: installation in progress
DO NOT REMOVE THIS WINDOW”. So you must wait for the self deletion of the console
window (it takes around 5 seconds).
3.4 Installation result
WARNING: IF A PREVIOUS RELEASE OF PACIS SMT KERNEL WAS ALREADY
INSTALLED AT THE SAME LOCATION, GENERATED SYSTEM DATABASES
(LOCATED IN %SMT_DIR%/SAVEOBJECT/DB) MAY BE NOT COMPATIBLE
WITH THE NEW INSTALLED RELEASE.
In this case, PACiS SMT KERNEL cannot start normally, all these “system DB” directories
are removed and PACiS SMT KERNEL exits. When the operator launches the
PACiS SMT KERNEL again, no system database exits and the operator has to restore its
previous current system database.
NOTE: Current and standby databases are logged when
PACiS SMT KERNEL exits.
Once the PACiS SMT installation is performed, PACiS SMT KERNEL or PACiS SMT HMI
can be directly launched from Start Menu/Programs/Pacis/K.xx.xx/Smt.
A shortcut for PACiS SMT KERNEL launching is added in the startup folder.
Once you have clicked on the executable, an icon appears in the system tray and looks like
the following:
Installation SMT/EN IN/D10

PACiS SMT Page 19/30

3.5 Post installation tuning


NOTE: Values entered during installation process can be tuned in *.ini files.
3.5.1 General
Before running PACiS SMT KERNEL don't forget to:

• check that the IEC 61850 agency has already been installed

• tune the PACiS SMT/agency heart beat period.


3.5.2 Disturbances files converters
Their location/use is organised as follows:

• If the parameter d<xx>FileConverter (xx ∈ [00,99]) contains no path (just a file


name), PACiS SMT KERNEL searches the converter in the default disturbance
converter path (defined in DisturbanceConvertersPath),

• If the parameter d<xx>FileConverter contains a relative path, then this path is used
to complete the default disturbance converter path,

• If the parameter d<xx>FileConverter contains an absolute path,


PACiS SMT KERNEL searches the converter without taking into account the default
disturbance converter path.
Then copy/organise the converter location according to the above rules.
3.6 Customization
This can be done in initialisation files located in %SMT_DIR%/exe directory: kernel.ini for
Kernel, and Hmi.ini for PACiS SMT HMI.
The typical content of these files is given in appendix, but only parameters described
hereafter should be modified (others parameters are set at installation, and should normally
not be modified).
You can also right click on the systray icon, select Configure Kernel, then Show/Kernel
param.

3.6.1 PACiS SMT HMI


For PACiS SMT HMI can be tuned:

• the log editor

• the log file extension

• the buffer size for the real-time log display

• the colour of a System DB line when all the connected equipment are OK, but all the
equipment composing the System DB are not selected
3.6.1.1 Log editor
There are two parameters for the log editor: LogEditor and LogEditorOptions. When
Log/edit menu is activated, the following command is processed:
LogEditor log_file LogEditorOptions (for example: uedit32 log.csv /r)
Of course LogEditor is mandatory, if there's no option for this application set
LogEditorOptions to "without". If LogEditor contains (a) blank character(s) it (they) must
be surrounded with quotes, but in this case the log editor can't be a "*.bat" file.
SMT/EN IN/D10 Installation

Page 20/30 PACiS SMT

3.6.1.2 Log file extension


The parameter LogFileType defines the extension of the log file. When activating Log/edit
menu the content of the log file (Kernel file) is copied from PACiS SMT KERNEL to the
directory log in the file log.LogFileType. Example: if LogFileType = csv, the file created will
be log.csv.
3.6.1.3 Log display size
The parameter LogDisplaySize defines the maximum number of events used for real-time
log display on PACiS SMT HMI. This display is managed in roll mode: once the number of
received events is reached, each time a new event is received the oldest is deleted.
3.6.1.4 Incomplete equipment selection colour
When a System DB is the Current or the Standby one and when at least one of its
equipment is connected, the line in the System database store is coloured. One particular
case is if all the connected equipment are OK (good mode and DB version) but all the
equipment of the DB have not been selected for connection by the operator: in this case the
status of the DB can:
• be considered as OK (although one equipment is missing), then the colour should be
green,

• be considered as there's one equipment not connected (although it will never be


connected because it's not selected by the operator), then the colour should be
yellow,

• be considered in this special state, then the colour should be blue.


The DbPartialSelectionColor parameter allows to define the colour:
• 1 for yellow,

• 2 for blue,

• 3 for green.
3.6.2 PACiS SMT Kernel
For PACiS SMT KERNEL can be tuned:

• The period of the IEC 61850 agency supervision


• The maximum size allowed for system configuration storage
• The storage location of disturbance files
• The location of disturbance converters
• The maximum size allowed for disturbance files storage
• The converters for disturbance file post-processing
• The definition of a remote folder in order to store all files managed by the SMT (log
files, databases, disturbance files)
• The time-out value for equipment reconnection after an agency reconfiguration (*)
• The time-out value for disturbance event subscription/un-subscription (*)
(*): These parameters are optional, not present after installation, and should not be modified.
3.6.2.1 IEC 61850 agency supervision period
Set the parameter HeartBeatPeriod to the desired value, in milliseconds.
Installation SMT/EN IN/D10

PACiS SMT Page 21/30

3.6.2.2 System configuration storage size


Set the parameter MaxSysDB to desired value, in Kbytes. This parameter corresponds to
the maximum size allowed for unzipped system databags storage (only system databag file
is unzipped by PACiS SMT, application Databags, eventually zipped, contained in the
system databag file, are not unzipped by PACiS SMT).
Setting this value smaller than the space currently use on the disk will have no immediate
effect, this new value will only be taken into account on next system databag storage.
3.6.2.3 Disturbance storage location
Parameter DisturbanceStoragePath indicates where disturbance files are stored (this
directory is normally created during installation phase). On starting PACiS SMT KERNEL
check if the directory exists, if not it tries to create it: in case of failure PACiS SMT KERNEL
displays a message, and stops after user message acknowledgement.
3.6.2.4 Disturbance files storage size
Set the parameter MaxDisturbanceStorageSize to desired value, in Kbytes. This parameter
corresponds to the maximum size allowed to store disturbance files in the directory given by
DisturbanceStoragePath parameter.
Setting this value smaller than the space currently use on the disk will have no immediate
effect, this new value will only be taken into account on next file storage.
3.6.2.5 Disturbance converters location
Parameter DisturbanceConvertersPath indicates where disturbance converters are stored
(this directory is normally created during installation phase).
3.6.2.6 Disturbance file converters

For each disturbance files whose extension is d<xx>, with xx ∈ [00,99] a converter can be
launched after the file has been uploaded.
There are 2 parameters for each converter: d<xx>FileConverter and
d<xx>FileConverterOptions.
The following command is processed after a file uploading (if a converter is defined in
“kernel.ini” file):

<absolute-path>\d<xx>FileConverter <absolute-path><IED name>_<j>.d<xx>


d<xx>FileConverterOptions
example: c:\PACiS\conv\conv1.exe “c:\program
files\PACiS\smt\disturbance\1.0\calc1\IED2_4.d02” /r)
If there's no converter for this type of file, set d<xx>FileConverter to without, or remove this
line from “kernel.ini” file.
If d<xx>FileConverter contains a blank character(s) it must be surrounded with quotes, but
in this case the converter can't be a *.bat file.
If there's no converter option set d<xx>FileConverterOptions to without, or remove this
line from “kernel.ini” file.
Time-out value for equipment reconnection
Some request (Set Current on a system database for example) may involve an IEC 61850
agency reconfiguration: after the agency starting PACiS SMT KERNEL may have to restore
some connections and to wait them to be fully established (GLOBE, DI, etc received) before
continuing. There's a time-out associated to this wait, it's the parameter named
connectionTimeOut and the unit is the millisecond. The default embedded value is 20 s,
and the value given is not taken into account if it's smaller than 20 s.
SMT/EN IN/D10 Installation

Page 22/30 PACiS SMT

Time-out value for disturbance event subscription/un-subscription


Starting or stopping disturbance event subscription on an equipment (on start/stop
disturbance monitoring) uses asynchronous agency services, and then PACiS SMT
KERNEL needs to wait the asynchronous call-backs. There's a time-out associated to this
wait, it's the parameter named distTimeOut and the unit is the millisecond. The default
embedded value is 15 s, and the value given is not taken into account if it's smaller than
15 s.
3.6.2.7 SMT Data Storage Root
The parameter SmtDataRoot is used to define a remote folder for storing all files managed
by SMT (logs, databases, disturbance files).
Example:
SmtDataRoot=\\10.22.186.122\pacis\smt_data_root (in case if diskless PC)
Or
SmtDataRoot=\\GTW1\pacis\smt_data_root
3.6.2.8 DisturbanceAlternateStoragePath
This parameter DisturbanceAlternateStoragePath is used to define an additional storage
path for the disturbance files. The disturbance files will be store in the default directory AND
in this additional directory. This additional directory name may point to a remote PC identified
by its IP address or an network name.
Example:
DisturbanceAlternateStoragePath = \\PCLD533NT5\Disturbance
Where PCLD533NT5 is a remote PC network name and Disturbance a directory on this
remote PC. The remote directory must be shared to allow the file transfer from the SMT PC
to the remote PC.
Installation SMT/EN IN/D10

PACiS SMT Page 23/30

3.7 Multilinguism
The basic installation is performed with english text labels (the labels are located in the
"exe/lang" directory in "*.properties" files).
For setting another language:

• the "*.properties" files need to be translated into the required language,

• the "*.properties" file name must be suffixed by ISO Language Code (e.g.
hmi_fr.properties). These codes are the lower-case, two-letter codes as defined by
ISO-639. You can find a full list of these codes at a number of sites, such as:
http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/related/iso639.txt

• the local location must be tuned with the regional options according to the chosen
code (e.g. "French(France)" for "fr" language code):

FIGURE 12: REGIONAL OPTIONS


SMT/EN IN/D10 Installation

Page 24/30 PACiS SMT

FIGURE 13: LANGUAGE OPTIONS


NOTES: 1) The change of the language cannot be performed on line (i.e.
PACiS SMT must be restarted to take into account the change of
language)
2) The choice of the "properties" file is processed in the following
order:

- Search the "properties" file which is suffixed by the language


code compliant with the locale location (e.g "hmi_fr.properties" for
the french locale.

- Search the "properties" file which is not suffixed by any


language code (e.g "hmi properties"
Example:
"Exe/lang" directory contains "hmi_fr.properties" (french text labels) and
"hmi.properties" (english text labels). If the locale location is:
French: the menu items are displayed in french,
Not french (german, italian, english,..): the menu items are displayed in english.
Installation SMT/EN IN/D10

3.8 Installation fault messages


Parameters entered by the user (such as ports, multicast address, etc) are checked. If the
value is out of range or incorrect, a pop-up message is displayed (see example below) and
the user has to give a correct value.

4. UNINSTALLATION
Uninstallation can only be performed from the Settings/Control panel/Add/remove programs
panel.
WARNING: BE SURE THAT PACiS SMT KERNEL IS STOPPED BEFORE
UNINSTALLATION.
Caution: “Uninstall PACiS SMT” or “Uninstall PACiS SMT HMI” only performs the removal of
files created upon installation. All the files created later by using PACiS SMT are not deleted.
So you may have to clear all the following residual files manually (the uninstall procedure
gives the precise list of all the directories/files that were not cleared):

• %SMT_DIR%/exportDB/*.*

• %SMT_DIR%/importDB/*.*

• %SMT_DIR%/log/*.*

• %SMT_DIR%/saveObject/db/*.*

• %SMT_DIR%/saveObject/log/*.*

• %SMT_DIR%/saveObject/options/*.*

• %SMT_DIR%/sbus/*.*

• %SMT_DIR%/traces/*.*

• %SMT_DIR%/exe/smt/*.* (if patches have been installed)

• disturbance storage directory


In case of several installation at different locations, manual uninstallation of a previous
release (not the last installed which can be uninstalled as described above), consists only in
deleting all directories and files under the installation directory.

2.1.4 Exit menu


The Exit menu is always available. A warning box asking to confirm this action is displayed.

FIGURE 11: THE EXIT MENU AND ASSOCIATED WARNING BOX


2.1.5 Databases menu
The Databases menu is only available when the Databases panel is selected.

FIGURE 12: THE DATABASES MENU


The items of this menu are:

• Add Database (Administrator only): this action is available from everywhere in the
database list, even if there’s no selected line.

• Delete database (Administrator only): this action is not available if the corresponding
database is the Current or Standby one.

• Connect all equipment and Disconnect all equipment (Administrator or Observer):


these actions apply only to all the equipment included in the selected System
database. A pop-up is displayed if a disturbance file upload is running, explaining that
the execution of the request will be delayed. During the request the corresponding line
in the table blinks. These requests are blocking: the user can’t do anything else until
the request is finished (finished means that the connection is requested by the SBUS
agency to the remote IEC 61850 equipment, but not that the remote equipment is
really connected).
Human Machine Interface SMT/EN HI/D10

PACiS SMT Page 11/28

• Set current (Administrator only): this action is not available if the corresponding
database is not the Standby one. If no equipment is selected, it just defines this
database as the reference (the status bar is then updated). If at least one piece of
equipment is selected, it implies a switch database order and a change operating
mode order (= go to Run) for all the connected equipment for which it’s necessary. A
pop-up is displayed if a disturbance file upload is running, explaining that the
execution of the request will be delayed. Agency is reconfigured if its current
configuration is not the future Current database one. This command does not impact
non-PACiS devices.

• Set/Download standby (Administrator only): this action is not available if the


corresponding database is the Current one. If no equipment is selected, it just defines
this database as the reference (the status bar is then updated). If at least one piece of
equipment is selected, it implies the configuration downloading for all the connected
equipment for which it’s necessary. A pop-up is displayed if a disturbance file upload
is running, explaining that the execution of the request will be delayed. This command
does not impact non-PACiS devices.

• Connect: this action is available as long as all selected database equipment are not
selected for connection, with the right IP address (i.e. if an equipment is currently
connected with an IP address different from its address in the selected database), or
on Administrator if disturbance monitoring status is Standby and the selected
database is the Current one and the agency configuration is not equal to the Current
System database one (this to allow to reconfigure the agency, which allows
disturbance monitoring to "restart"). This action is also available if at least one
equipment of the selected database has diag or iedDiag(s) data different from the one
available in the current agency configuration (this to allow to reconfigure the agency in
order to be able to see the diag(s) and iedDiag(s) data defined in the selected
database). When the user has Administrator rights, if the connection of all the
equipment involves a reconfiguration of the IEC 61850 agency (means one IP address
to connect is not available in the current agency configuration), a pop-up window
explaining this will be displayed, asking a confirmation. When the user has Observer
rights, only the equipment, which belongs to the IEC 61850 agency configuration, will
be connected.

• Disconnect: this action is available as long as at least one piece of equipment of the
selected database is selected for connection.

• Abort all the on going requests:


NOTE: These items can be accessed too from the contextual menu displayed
by right-clicking on line of the System databases store table.
2.1.6 Disturbance menu
The Disturbance menu is only available when the Databases panel is selected.

FIGURE 13: THE DISTURBANCE MENU


This menu has two items only available on administrator.
• Disturbance on (off) (shortcut: Ctrl + Alt + M): this action is available only if a current
database exists. It allows starting or stopping the disturbance file upload, for all the
chosen equipment of the database. This item is available, and the associated action
taken into account even if no equipment of the database is selected for connection.
Disturbance on involves an agency reconfiguration if its current configuration is not
the one of the System Current database.
SMT/EN HI/D10 Human Machine Interface

Page 12/28 PACiS SMT

• Choose equipment (shortcut: Ctrl + Alt + I): this action is available if the selected
database has equipment, which generates disturbance files. It displays the list of
devices (IEC 61850 equipment or IED managed by this equipment) of the database
which are able to produce disturbance files, and the user can select it or not (selected
means SMT will listen to disturbance event of this device). The selection is
immediately taken into account (but will have no immediate effect if the selected
database is not the current one and disturbance function is not activated on this
database). By default all devices are selected.

FIGURE 14: THE "CHOOSE EQUIPMENT" MENU

If disturbance bricks are redundant:


• the IED appears twice in the tree for each IEC 61850 server,

• the name of these IEDs is suffixed with a star (*),

• the name of the main IEC 61850 server is suffixed with a star (*),

• for the main server node, the name of the backup IEC 61850 server appears below
the legacy bus nodes,

• for the backup server node, the name of the main IEC 61850 server appears below
the legacy bus nodes.
The pop-up displayed at the end of each request (except disturbance stopping) indicates if
starting disturbance monitoring has failed on some equipment: this means disturbance event
is not monitored on these equipment (although device is ticked if the <choose equipment>
list). If starting disturbance monitoring has failed it probably means at configuration problem
in PACiS SMT or in the equipment. Stopping disturbance (globally or on a particular
equipment) always succeed from PACiS SMT point of view (protocol failure if exists doesn't
prevent PACiS SMT to stop monitoring the device).
If disturbance is on, and the agency configuration is not equal to the Current System
database one then disturbance status indicated in the status bar is "standby", which means
disturbance events are not monitored. If a request leads to an agency reconfiguration with
the Current System database agency configuration, disturbance monitoring will restart, and
status indicated in the status bar will be "on".

equipment view the MiCOM S1 Studio with the targeted IED in parameter, in order to
have a direct connection between the MiCOM S1 and the IED. This facility is available
for IEC61850 IEDs .

• Abort all the on going requests:


NOTES: 1. These items can be accessed too from the contextual menu that is
displayed by right-clicking on an equipment in the Equipment
tab.

2. An observer is informed of an application on-going request


(switching, changing operating mode, downloading, uploading), he
can see the corresponding line blinking.

3. For all the requests, the end is signalled by a pop-up window that
the user has to acknowledge (the end means that PACiS SMT HMI
has sent all the mandatory requests to the IEC 61850 Agency and
received the synchronous acknowledgement, but has not wait the
complete result on the remote equipment). This pop-up window
signals the success of the request, or the list of equipment on
which the request has failed.

4. A request can be refused if the IEC 61850 agency is not OK.

2.1.8 Log menu


The Log menu has one sub-menu:

FIGURE 16: THE "LOG" MENU

• Kernel: this sub-menu has two items:

− Edit (shortcut Ctrl + E): the log file can be opened with a text editor (default editor
is Notepad) and can be printed. The content of the file is the content corresponding
to the moment of the Edit command; it is not updated in real time. If the user wants
to see if the file has been modified ten minutes later, for example, he has to close
the file, and to edit it once again
Human Machine Interface SMT/EN HI/D10

PACiS SMT Page 15/28

− Display (shortcut Ctrl + L): each new entry (event which occurs after the Display
command time) is printed in a list view, the lines scroll towards the top of the
window at each new event, the lowest line of the list being the more recent one.
This list is displayed in a dedicated window that can be iconified.
NOTE: The log edit and log display files are in the same language as PACiS
SMT HMI.
2.1.9 Time menu
The Time menu has a unique item: Set… The related dialog box shows the current system
date/time. You can modify any field. The current time shows in the status bar. It refreshes
every two seconds. If there is no Current system database defined, then this menu item is
not available.

FIGURE 17: THE "TIME" MENU AND RELATED DIALOG BOX


2.1.10 Options menu
The Options menu has two items. The associated dialog boxes allow to configure kernel
options and browser options.

FIGURE 18: CONFIGURATION OF KERNEL OPTIONS


SMT/EN HI/D10 Human Machine Interface

Page 16/28 PACiS SMT

For the configuration of kernel options the user can choose the following options (a selected
check box means yes, a cleared check box means no):
• Always confirm before execution: the default value is yes. Each modification is
immediately taken into account, and backed-up on the disk. This option applies only to
the concerned PACiS SMT HMI.

• Display complete log: the default value is yes. This option is used to filter the events
for the log display (not for the log edit): yes means that all the log events will be
displayed, no means that only the events concerning our connected equipment will be
displayed (plus general events as IEC 61850 agency loss, Set Current request, etc).
Each modification is immediately taken into account and backed-up on the disk. This
option applies only to the concerned PACiS SMT HMI.

• Always download the ApplicationDataBag (Administrator only): the default value is


no. Each modification is immediately taken into account, and backed-up on the disk.
This option is used to force the downloading of the ApplicationDataBag, even if the
application Vdbs is the same as the System Vdbs (it can be seen as the equivalent of
the “rebuild all” option for a compiler, it’s useful if some IEC 61850 equipment were
previously loaded with configuration of an other system which could have the same
Vdbs, but not the good ApplicationDataBag).

• Automatic disturbance starting (Administrator only): the default value is yes. This
option is used to decide if the automatic disturbance file upload is activated
automatically on a database when this one becomes the Current one.

• Keep previous disturbance equipment selection (Administrator only): the default


value is no. This option is used to decide if, when a database becomes the Current
one, selected equipment is that previously defined with the <Choose equipment>
menu, or are the same as the current database (as much as possible).

• Log event number (Administrator only): the maximum number of events to store in
the log file. The default value is 1000. Each modification is immediately taken into
account.

• Agency Services C/C++ C SMT calls to agency services, and callbacks are now
visible in a “dbwin” window (as PACiS OI for example). The name of this debug
window has to be defined in the key value
“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Smt/dbWinName”. This key is not defined after
an installation, it must be added manually. If this value is not defined, or its content is
empty, debug traces are not activated. The content of this value should be “dbwin”.

FIGURE 21: SYSTEMDATABAG STATE CHART


A click on one of these six fields of a table line selects the line.
The <current> (<standby>) toggles are ticked if:
• they were not ticked and the user requests a <Set current> (<Set/download standby>)
action,

• they were ticked when the SMT was stopped.


The colour of the line can be:
• White:

− The database is not the Current nor the Standby one,


− The database is the Current or the Standby one and no equipment is selected,
• Grey: connection with IEC 61850 agency is not available,

• Green:

− For Current: all PACiS equipment of the system are connected, have the good
<current> Vdbs (i.e. the same one as the System database) and are in Operational
(run) mode, and all non PACiS equipment are connected
− For Standby: all PACiS equipment of the system are connected and have the good
< standby > Vdbs (i.e. the same one as the System database), and all non PACiS
equipment are connected
• Yellow:

− For current: all equipment of the system are selected for connection, at least one is
not responding, and all responding PACiS equipment have the good <current>
(<standby>) Vdbs (i.e. the same one as the System database) and are in
Operational (run) mode,
− For Standby: all equipment of the system are selected for connection, at least one
is not responding, and all responding PACiS equipment have the good <current>
(<standby>) Vdbs (i.e. the same one as the System database),

• Red:

− For current: at least one of the connected equipment has an incorrect Vdbs, or is
not in Operational (run) mode,
− For Standby: at least one of the connected equipment has an incorrect Vdbs,
• Blue: this colour can be modified and set to yellow or green in HMI initialisation file

− For Current: all the selected for connection PACiS equipment of the system are
connected, have the good <current> Vdbs (i.e. the same one as the System
database) and are in Operational (run) mode, and all non PACiS equipment are
connected, but not all the equipment of the system are selected for connection,
− For Standby: all the selected for connection equipment of the system are
connected and have the good < standby > Vdbs (i.e. the same one as the System
database), and all non PACiS equipment are connected, but not all the equipment
of the system are selected for connection,
• Blinking: a <Set current> (<Set/download standby>) or Connect all/Disconnect all
request is on going.
NOTE: The colour of the line is updated according to the results of any user
requests, the equipment behaviour (disconnected, etc…) and the IEC
61850 agency status.

2.2.2 Equipment definition table


The Equipment definition table displays equipment parameters and the user connection
choice:
• Name (static information)

• IP address (static information)

• Connection requested (dynamic information, set by the <Connect> or <Disconnect>


user action)
The content of this table depends on the filter value:

FIGURE 22: HMI EQUIPMENT DEFINITION TABLE

• selected DB: the content of the table is the list of the equipment composing the
database selected in the System databases store table.

• all selected eqt in all DB: the content of the table is the list of all selected equipment.
The IP address displayed is the current one (the one available in the IEC 61850
Agency configuration).

• selected eqt. for the selected DB: The content of the table is the list of selected
equipment which belongs to the database selected in the System databases store
table.

• not selected equipment for the selected DB: the content of the table is the list of the
not selected equipment which belong to the database selected in the System
databases store table.
SMT/EN HI/D10 Human Machine Interface

Page 20/28 PACiS SMT

For an Administrator, if the IP address field is red, it means:


• for a connected equipment, that the equipment is no more available (it was connected
before with this IP address but not now), or that the equipment is still connected but
not with this IP address,

• for a not connected equipment, that this equipment is not available in the current IEC
61850 agency configuration.
For an Administrator, if the line is grey and IEC 61850 agency is OK, it means:
• for a connected equipment, that the equipment is not available in the current IEC
61850 agency configuration. This is only possible with filter set to "All selected
equipment in all DB".
For an Observer, if the line is grey and IEC 61850 agency is OK, it means:
• for a connected equipment, that the equipment is no more available (it was connected
before with this IP address but not now), or that the equipment is still connected but
not with this IP address,

• for a not connected equipment, that this equipment is not available in the current IEC
61850 agency configuration.
If the IEC 61850 agency is not available, all the lines of the table are grey.
The following actions based upon the selected equipment can be initiated from the
Databases menu of the menu bar or from the contextual menu (right click on the selected
line), with the restrictions listed below:
• Connect (Administrator or Observer): this action is available on Administrator if an
equipment is currently connected with an IP address different from its address in the
selected database (the IP address colour is then red) or if disturbance monitoring is
Standby and the selected equipment belongs to the Current database (Current
System database selected in the System Database store table) and the agency
configuration is not equal to the Current System database one (this to allow to
reconfigure the agency, which allows disturbance monitoring to "restart"). <Connect>
is also available if equipment has diag or iedDiag(s) data different from the one
available in the current agency configuration (this to allow to reconfigure the agency in
order to be able to see the diag(s) and iedDiag(s) data defined in the selected
database for the equipment). Connect is not available if the line is grey on an
Observer. A pop-up is displayed if a disturbance file upload is running, explaining that
the execution of the request will be delayed.

• Disconnect (Administrator or Observer): this action is always available for a


connected equipment, except in case of SBUS agency failure. A pop-up is displayed if
a disturbance file upload is running, explaining that the execution of the request will be
delayed
NOTES: 1. It is possible to select several lines, but actions will be available
according to the conditions listed above. In this case, if a
confirmation has been requested, a global confirmation is
available.

2. A request can be refused if the IEC 61850 agency is not OK..

3. Once <Connect> has been chosen, the <Connection requested>


toggle is ticked (empty if <Disconnect>), whatever the real result
is. The real status of the connection is available in the Equipment
panel.

4. During the request the corresponding line(s) in the table blink. The
connect/disconnect requests are blocking; the user can’t do
anything else until they are finished (finished means that the
connection/disconnection is requested by the IEC 61850 agency to
the remote IEC 61850 equipment, but not that the remote
equipment is really connected/disconnected).

2.3 Equipment panel


2.3.1 PACiS devices

FIGURE 23: THE EQUIPMENT PANEL


The Equipment panel appears when the corresponding tabbed panel is selected; it contains
the tree view of the status of each piece of equipment selected for connection.
If a global request has been previously issued (from the Databases panel, for example
Set/download standby), this tree is updated with the results of the successive requests. In
the same way, after each request on this tree the Databases panel is updated.
When a node in the tree is selected, the relevant equipment name appears in the contextual
help field, and the equipment node changes:
• the colour of the node text becomes white,

• The background colour of the node is darkened.


2.3.1.1 Selected equipment status tree view
The tree view displays the following data:
• Identity extracted from “DI” brick including:

− Model,
− Serial Number (from “Vendor Identity”),
− Hardware Version (from “Vendor Identity”),
− Software Version (from “Vendor Identity”),
− System Version (from “Communication Identity”),
• Databases including Standby and current versions, which are updated upon change; if
the database has been modified within the equipment (ON line modification), a star
appears behind the version.

• Mode which is updated upon change,

• Hardware (may not exist) including all the data points which are contained in the
“DIAG” brick: the value of a data point is converted from a numeric value to a text
value according to diag labels which are provided by the system databag,
SMT/EN HI/D10 Human Machine Interface

Page 22/28 PACiS SMT

• Fieldbus (may not exist) including all the IEDs, which are connected over a legacy
bus. A colour is attached to each IED according to “CommSt” data extracted from
“IEDDIAG” brick:

− “green”: the IED is reachable through the legacy bus,


− “red”: the IED is not reachable through the legacy bus.
The following displayed items:
• Root node name,

• Hardware and Fieldbus nodes,


are connected with the equipment diag and iedDiag(s) brick(s) description of the system
databag with which the agency is configured.
Example: in system databag 1.0, appA has IED1, in system databag 2.0 appA has IED 1 and
IED2. If PACiS SMT agency configuration is 1.0, only IED1 will appear in tree-view, if PACiS
SMT agency configuration is 2.0 IED1 and IED2 will appear in tree-view. According to the
equipment current configuration these nodes may be reachable or not: if they are not
reachable hardware is present, but has no child node, and IED names are present but are in
white.
If no diag brick is defined for a device (in the system databag), then the tree does not contain
a “hardware” node for this device.
Also, if no fieldbus is defined (in the system databag), then the tree does not contain a
“fieldbus” node for this device.
Recall: Current and Stand-by Database version are System Database Version and not an
application version. Application version doesn’t exist inside PACiS SMT HMI.
The colour convention of the node label is:
• Grey: connection with IEC 61850 agency is not available, or the device is not
available in the current agency configuration.

• White, without child node: the device can’t be reached (PACiS SMT HMI
continuously attempts to connect) but the IEC 61850 agency is OK,

• White: the application is connected, but no Current and Standby System database are
defined, or the application does not belong neither to the Current nor to the Standby
System database.

• Blinking: a downloading database, switching database or change operating mode


request is on-going on this application,

• Green:

− Current and Standby System Vdbs are defined:


− the application current Vdbs is the same as the system current Vdbs, the
application standby Vdbs is the same as the system standby Vdbs and the
application is in Operational (Run) mode,
− Only Standby System Vdbs is defined:
− the application standby Vdbs is the same as the system standby Vdbs,
− Only Current System Vdbs is defined:
− the application current Vdbs is the same as the system current Vdbs and the
application is in Operational (Run) mode.
Human Machine Interface SMT/EN HI/D10

PACiS SMT Page 23/28

• Red:

− The application is in Faulty mode


− Current and Standby System Vdbs are defined:
− the application current Vdbs is not the same as the system current Vdbs, or the
application standby Vdbs is not the same as the system standby Vdbs, or the
application is not in Operational (Run) mode (Maintenance, Test or Faulty),
− Only Standby System Vdbs is defined:
− the application standby Vdbs is not the same as the system standby Vdbs,
− Only Current System Vdbs is defined:
− the application current Vdbs is not the same as the system current Vdbs or the
application is not in Operational (Run) mode
2.3.1.2 Tree icons
• Equipment node: two different icons can be defined by user, to indicate if an
application is reachable or not (1 for reachable, 1 for not reachable)

• All other nodes: each node can have its own icon which is defined by the user with the
“<SMT installation dir>/exe/images/EqptStatus/icon.properties” file.
If the selected “equipment” node is Grey, White without child node or Red, the help field of
the status bar displays a short textual information which give some precision about the
problem/status.
2.3.1.3 Contextual menu

FIGURE 24: THE "CONTEXTUAL" MENU


It is possible to select several lines, only the equipment that is in the good mode will be
concerned by the request. In this case, if a confirmation has been requested, a global
confirmation is available. For all the requests, when selected, a pop-up is displayed if a
disturbance file upload is running, explaining that the execution of the request will be
delayed.

2.3.2 Non PACiS devices


2.3.2.1 Selected equipment status tree view
The tree view displays the following data:
• Identity: only “name”, “Serial number” and “Hardware version” are displayed,

• Mode.
If one of these data does not exist for a device, the node is displayed with no attached value.
The colour convention of the node label is:
• Grey: connection with IEC 61850 agency is not available, or the device is not
available in the current agency configuration.

• White, without child node: the device can’t be reached (PACiS SMT HMI
continuously attempts to connect) but the IEC 61850 agency is OK,

• White: the application is connected, but no Current and Standby System database are
defined, or the application does not belong neither to the Current nor to the Standby
System database.

• Green:

− Current and Standby System Vdbs are defined: the application is in Operational
(Run) mode if mode is available, or mode is not available and application belongs
to the Current and/or to the Standby system database,
− Only Standby System Vdbs is defined: application belongs to the Standby system
database,
− Only Current System Vdbs is defined: the application is in Operational (Run) mode
if mode is available, or mode is not available and application belongs to the Current
system database.
• Red:

− The application is in Faulty mode,


− Current System Vdbs is defined: if mode is available and is not Operational (Run)
mode and application belongs to the Current system database.
2.3.2.2 Contextual menu
All the menu items are not enabled (except collapse and expand) because:
• its operating mode cannot be changed (mode control is a PACiS implementation),

• its configuration cannot be managed from PACiS SMT.


If the operator selects both PACiS devices and non-PACiS devices, the command does not
impact non-PACiS devices.

• An IEC 61850 agency event:

− SBUS agency has disappeared, when connection with equipment disappears –


note that when an IEC 61850 agency failure occurs the following equipment
disconnections are not recorded in the log file,
− SBUS agency is coming back, when agency becomes available again.
There’s no global report for the connect/disconnect all, but all the elementary sequences will
be recorded (in the log file will appear as many Connect requests as concerned
applications).
All the fields are left aligned, they are separated by space-comma-space, and then Excel can
easily process them for example.

2.5 Disturbance and waveform files


For a given device, once the file is read in the IEC 61850 equipment it is stored in a file
called <device_name>_yymmdd_hhmmss.dxx, where xx ∈ [00,99] (but COMTRADE files
are suffixed by ".dat" and ".cfg" extensions): a maximum of 10 files can be stored per device.
These files are stored in the directory <DisturbanceStoragePath>/DB<Current database
Vdbs>/<device name>/<IED name>.
NOTE: If the device generates itself disturbance files, then the <IED name>
sub-directory does not exist.
The default DisturbanceStoragePath value is <SMT installation dir>/disturbance (can be
modified in kernel.ini file). The maximum space available for storage in
<DisturbanceStoragePath> is defined by the parameter MaxDisturbanceStorageSize in
the kernel.ini file.
If specified in kernel.ini file, a special processing can be launched on a given file type once
a file is created (PACiS SMT HMI responsibility is then only to launch the processing).
A storage policy is defined to avoid filling up the hard disk:
• this principle defines a storage area per DB.

• when disk space used in DisturbanceStoragePath reaches


maxDisturbanceStorageSize the oldest DB record storage area is recursively
deleted. It is under responsibility of maintenance people to make previous storage on
other support. If only current DB remains, the two oldest files of each device directory
are automatically deleted.
Each file upload, hard disk file creation or deletion is logged.
2.5.1 Behaviour of Choose equipment menu with disturbance options
• Default behaviour: when a database becomes the Current one disturbance function is
automatically activated, on all devices.

• Keep previous disturbance equipment selection to false: if a selection of device has


been done previously with the Choose equipment menu on a database, when this one
becomes the Current one, disturbance function is automatically activated on selected
devices.

• Keep previous disturbance equipment selection to true: supposing DB 1.0 is Current


and only devices A and B are selected for disturbance, DB 2.0 is Standby and devices
A, B and C are selected for disturbance - when 2.0 will become Current disturbance
function will be activated only on A and B (and only A and B will appear selected in the
Choose menu dialog box).

2. STANDARD MAINTENANCE OPERATION


The aim of this chapter is to describe standard way to diagnosed PACiS SMT status, and
common maintenance operation.
When maintenance action is planned, the operator should prepare, act and report.
The minimal preparation is to get the commissioning Record Sheet (see the RS chapter) of
installed PACiS SMT in order to see the product version and its history. The User should
refer also to its own exploitation besides this manual. It is also recommended to pick-up
extraction of logbook history to be informed of the intervention conditions.
When facing - the product several designations has been implemented to check the context,
whose main ones, at a first level are the messages directly displayed by the PACiS SMT
application on the screen of the PC.
