Product Overview 1
DIGSI The DIGSI Display Editor is a component of DIGSI 4 which serves for
Display Editor editing and managing the displays of the SIPROTEC devices.
Display The SIPROTEC devices which have a big display panel allow for repre-
senting information graphically. A distinction is made between the
Default Display and the Control Display.
Default Display In the Default Display you can only visualize information.
Control Display In the Control Display, you can both visualize information of the protec-
tive device and control bay devices.
Information The following items of information are often visualized:

The positions of switching devices and other process elements
Measured values
Metered values
Binary information on the states of the bay and the devices,
Protection device information
General indications
Alarms.
The necessary items of information are marked in the configuration
matrix of DIGSI 4 for representation on the display panel of the
SIPROTEC device.
How to work in In the DIGSI Display Editor, you draw the desired display:
the DIGSI the Default Display or the Control Display.
Display Editor
This is done using pre-defined or user-defined symbols and devices.
Devices are symbols with integrated dynamics, for visualizing e.g.
different switch positions.
You can save the newly-drawn display as a template, so that you can use
it many times for creating new displays.

Product Overview
Context-sensitive dialog boxes help you to link the Control Display to the
information which was prepared before in the DIGSI 4 configuration
matrix. Thus you define the dynamics of the devices.
For documenting your work, you can print out symbols or devices, dis-
plays and dynamics used in displays.

Working with the Display Editor
2.1 Editing the Displays of SIPROTEC Devices
The SIPROTEC devices which have a big display panel allow for repre-
senting information graphically there. Two graphics which are displayed
by the SIPROTEC device, can be altered with the Display Editor:
Default Display and Control Display.
Default Display The Default Display appears on the display panel when there has not
been any operator action at the SIPROTEC device for a preset period of
time.
With the Default Display, you cannot control any bay devices, but repre-
sent only information of the protective device.
The Default Display can consist of one or several pages.
Control Display By pressing the CTRL key at the SIPROTEC device, you switch to the
Control Display.
With the Control Display, you can both represent information and control
bay devices.
The Control Display can consist of one or several pages.
Selecting For selecting the items of information you want to show on the display
information panel of the SIPROTEC device, you use the configuration matrix of
DIGSI device editor.
DIGSI The displays are created by means of the DIGSI Display Editor and
Display Editor linked to the corresponding information of the SIPROTEC device.
Transmitting The Default Display and the Control Display are part of the parameter set
parameters of a SIPROTEC device. The parameter set is downloaded with
Device → DIGSI → Device in the DIGSI device editor into the
SIPROTEC device.

E50417-H1176-C095-A3
Note:
The following instructions mostly use menu commands for describing
how to proceed.

shortcuts.
Please observe the corresponding information which is displayed behind
the individual menu commands.
Useful information can also be found on the status bar, which can be acti-
vated or deactivated with the View → Status Bar command:
Information on the operation which is currently carried out by the user
or in the display view, the position of the mouse within the drawing
area.
The number of the displayed page and the number of pages.
The number of free characters.
The name of the symbol or device currently selected in the library.
The size of the symbol or device currently selected in the library.
The zoom factor of the display.
The state of the lockable keys.

all containers of a project in the form of a folder tree. Called the tree view,
Container If an object can contain other objects, it is called a container. The object
Folder, for example, is such a container.
Field devices Generic term for all devices assigned to the field level: protection
devices, combination devices, bay controllers.
Bay controllers Bay controllers are devices with control and monitoring functions without
protection functions.
Device containers In the Component view, all SIPROTEC 4 devices are assigned to an
object of type Device Container. This is also a special object of DIGSI 4
Manager. However, as DIGSI 4 Manager does not have a Component
view, this object only becomes visible in conjunction with STEP 7.
HV field description The HV project description file contains information about which fields
exist in a ModPara project. The field information itself is saved in an HV
field description file for each field. In the HV project description file each
field is assigned such an HV field description file by a reference to the file
name.
HV project descrip- All the data is exported once the configuration and parameterization of
tion PCUs and submodules using ModPara has been completed. This data is
split up into several files. One file contains details about the fundamental
project structure. This also includes, for example, information detailing
which fields exist in this project. This file is called an HV project descrip-
tion file.
IIEC address Each SIPROTEC 4 device must be assigned a unique IEC address within
an IEC bus. A total of 254 addresses are available per IEC bus.

Link address The link address gives the address of a V3/V2 device. This address can
be changed with the help of DIGSI 3.x.
List view The right pane of the project window displays the names and icons of
objects which represent the contents of a container selected in the tree
view. Since the representation is made in the form of a list, this space is
also described as a list view.
MLFB number MLFB is the abbreviation for machine-readable product designation.

This is equivalent to the order number. The type and version of a SIPRO-
TEC 4 device are encoded in the order number.
Modem profile A modem profile consists of the name of the profile, a modem driver and
optionally several initialization commands as well as a user address. You
can create several modem profiles for one physical modem. To do this,
you need to link various initialization commands or user addresses to a
modem driver and its properties and save them under different names.

PROFIBUS address Within a PROFIBUS network, each SIPROTEC 4 device must be

assigned a unique PROFIBUS address. Overall, 254 PROFIBUS
addresses are available for each PROFIBUS network.
Project Content-wise, a project is the image of a real power supply system.

Graphically, a project represents a number of objects linked within a hier-
archical structure. Physically, a project comprises a range of folders and
files which contain project data.
Clean up The frequent adding and deleting of objects creates memory areas which
can no longer be utilized. These memory areas are freed again by clean-
ing up projects. However, the cleanup also means that the VD addresses
are reassigned. The consequence of this is that all SIPROTEC 4 devices
have to be reinitialized.
Protection devices All devices with a protective function and no control display.
Service interface Rear port serial interface on devices for connection of DIGSI 4 (e.g. via
modem).
SIPROTEC The registered trademark SIPROTEC 4 is used for all devices based on
the V4 system.
SIPROTEC 4 device This object type represents a real SIPROTEC 4 device and all its setting
values and process data.

Glossary
SIPROTEC 4 This object type represents a variant of an object of type SIPROTEC 4

variant device. The device data of this variant may well differ from the device
data of the source object. However, all variants derived from the source
object have the same VD address as the source object. For this reason
they always correspond to the same real SIPROTEC 4 device as the
source object. You can use objects of type SIPROTEC 4 variant, e.g. to
document different operating states when entering parameter settings of
a SIPROTEC 4 device.
System interface Rear port serial interface in the devices for connection to a control system
via IEC or PROFIBUS.
Users Up to 16 compatible SIPROTEC 4 devices can communicate with one

another in an Inter Relay Communication combination. The participating
devices are called users.
User address A user address comprises the name of the station, the national code, the
area code and the user-specific phone number.
Phonebook User addresses for a modem connection are saved in this object type.
Topological view DIGSI 4 Manager always shows a topological view of a project. This
shows the hierarchical structure of a project with all available objects.
V3/V2 device This object type represents a reference to existing data of a device of ver-
sion V3 or V2.
VD address The VD address is automatically assigned by DIGSI 4 Manager. It only

exists once throughout the project and therefore serves as a unique iden-
tification of a real SIPROTEC 4 device. The VD address assigned by
DIGSI 4 Manager must be transmitted to the SIPROTEC 4 device to
enable communication with the DIGSI 4 Device Editor.
Combination matrix Up to 16 suitable SIPROTEC 4 devices can communicate with one

another in an Inter Relay Communication combination. Which devices
exchange which information is defined using the combination matrix.
VFD A VFD (Virtual Field Device) covers all communication objects, including
their properties and states, which are used by a communications user via
services.
