8 ISGS Wisdom Software

8.1 Overview

The ISGS relay is an extremely advanced protective relay for medium voltage switchgear applications. In order to reduce the complexity of configuring the relay, reading the metered values, and retrieving stored data, Siemens developed ISGS Wisdom software. Wisdom software is a Windows-based tool that monitors and controls an ISGS relay. Wisdom soft- ware provides a flexible, easy to use interface allowing the performance of a wide variety of tasks such as

•remote configuration via network, local port, or modem

•offline configuration in DEMO mode

•configuration file storage

•custom curve creation

•display and retrieval of captured waveforms

•event log retrieval

•real-time data and status display

8.2 Setup

Using Wisdom software requires Microsoft® Windows®. To make full use of the Waveform Capture display, a color moni- tor is highly recommended. Setting up Wisdom software requires two basic operations:

1.Installing the program on a PC

Wisdom software is provided on a floppy diskette. The setup program on this diskette will install Wisdom soft- ware on your hard drive and will create a Windows pro- gram group icon.

2.Connecting the relay to the PC

For local connection of the PC, install an RS-232 inter- face cable between the serial communications port on the PC and the front port on the relay.

For remote connection of the PC, use an RS-232 to RS-485 converter for direct connection and null-modem connectors for modem use.

Wisdom software offers five main menus from which to select the various tasks or operations to be performed and one help menu.
