Advanced relay testing software
Making the difficult easy
RooTS (Relay object-oriented test software) is EuroSMCs answer
to the growing complexity and variety of testing methods emerging
with the last generation of numerical relays or IEDs.
The user picks up the required functions to build a complete test
protocol by just clicking on a list.
Every IED is identified, described and cataloged in a database
along with the various tests assigned and the results obtained
throughout the relays lifecycle. Reporting can be made fully
automatic, and test data can be exported to other information
systems.
The innovative paradigm in RooTS allows the Protections Engineer
to calculate, view and express the test parameters in terms of each
protective function (e.g. reactance, impedance, differential current,
restraint voltage, negative sequence, etc.), saving lots of time and
eliminating errors.
The IEDs operation characteristic can also be graphically defined
from scratch, thanks to an easy and intuitive built-in graphical
editor. This feature supports the manual click & test method, as
well as computer-assisted test point generation and automatic
report production.
The IEDs settings and trip logic equations can be directly read
from the configuration files supplied by the main relay vendors. No
interpretation mistakes, no waste of data transfer time, no typing
errors. Values can be labled to the users preferences or according
to the relay manufacturers nomenclature.
RooTS architecture includes a library for optional test modules
(Overcurrent, directional, distance, metering, synchronism/voltage,
converters etc.) that the user may choose to add at any time. Each
module contains a test kit with test routines (reclosing, power
encroachment, breaker failure, etc.) that can be used right off-the-
box or quickly and easily customized to the users needs.
RooTS has been designed and developed using state-of-the-art
programming technology and is outstanding in the field of
electrical protection testing to free up the user from the tedious
task of assimilating the huge diversity of relay implementations,
the different protective concepts by each individual IED
manufacturer and the need to be trained on diverse test
equipment.
If you are in charge of the control and maintenance of complex
protective schemes, and cannot afford to lose the grip from the
continuous evolution of test technology, your natural choice is
RooTS by EuroSMC.
