System Requirements

Certain prerequisites have to be fulfilled before the BDA or BDA Plus can be operated. One of the two standard browsers (Internet Explorer V5.5 or higher or Netscape Navigator V6.2 or higher) must be installed on the output device (e.g. laptop). Compatibility with other browsers cannot be guaranteed.

To ensure independence between the operating systems and browsers, all the pages have been written in HTML code and Java applets. A Java Virtual Machine is required to display the pages.

What is Java?

Java is a platform-neutral object- oriented programming language originally developed by Sun Microsystems. Java is implemented in all IT areas of the commercial, industrial and administrative sectors, and is available free of charge for many operating systems and platforms – from cell phones to real-time mainframe systems.

Unlike most compiler languages, Java applets are not directly translated into a set of commands that can be understood by a "Real Processor". Instead, they are first converted to the "Java Byte Code". Although this byte code is highly machine-oriented, a "Java Virtual Machine" (VM), which emulates a standardized processor for all Java applets, is required on the target computer.

Since Java normally compiles data twice (once with the developer and once with the user), this principle is known as the “Just-In-Time “(JIT) Compiler. Although, Java applets take longer to start, since the machine code is generated during initialization.

However, the same Java applet can run on all supported systems without modifications.

The Java Virtual Machine V2 V1.4.0_01 is required to display the BDA pages. When these pages are called up for the first time, the BDA checks whether Java VM2 is available on the browser. If not, the system automatically displays a window informing the user of this and automatically links the user to the appropriate Sun Microsystems page. An Internet connection must be established to ensure the automatic installation procedure functions properly. If this is not the case, the Virtual Machine required for the Microsoft Windows operating systems can be downloaded from the following address:

http://java.sun.com/products/archive /j2se/1.4.0_01/index.html

Once installed, the option Java 2VM V1.4.0_01 must be activated in the browser (if it is not already).

To avoid conflicts with other Java versions, it is recommended that you uninstall older versions of Java and delete the cache in the browser.

The target system with the browser also requires one or both of the following communication interfaces:

•A serial interface with RS232 design, usually integrated on standard PCs (e.g. COM1) for point-to-point (PPP) communication with the BDA.

•A LAN interface for communicating with the BDA Plus via the Ethernet.

Circuit breaker requirements

The BDA can be connected to WL Circuit Breakers with the following trip units: ETU745, ETU748, ETU755 and ETU776. It can be connected either directly to the trip unit or to the last external CubicleBUS module. Circuit breakers can also communicate with the BDA if they have been retrofitted with the communication function.

Getting started with the BDA Plus

If the BDA Plus is is being installed for the first time, the settings for the IP address and the standard gateway as well as the subnet mask must be set using the serial communication via RS232. After this the BDA Plus must be rebooted to load the Ethernet driver with the specified parameters.
