Siemens Software DIGSI 5 for SIPROTEC 5 Protection Relays

Siemens DIGSI 5 software is a versatile engineering tool for parameterizing, commissioning, and operating all SIPROTEC 5 devices. Its innovative interface provides context-sensitive user guidance. A simple USB connection lets users work with devices quickly and efficiently.

DIGSI 5 shows its full capability when connected to a network of protection devices. Engineers can manage all devices in a substation within a single project. The software improves usability and supports efficient work processes by displaying only the information required for specific tasks. Advanced filter options further refine the displayed data. The consistent and intuitive interface also reduces the need for extensive training.

For system engineering, DIGSI 5 uses the IEC 61850 System Configurator. The same configurator also integrates DIGSI 4 devices. This manufacturer-neutral tool supports interoperable engineering of IEC 61850 products and systems.

The configurator supports SCL (Substation Configuration Description Language) files from IEC 61850-6. Users can import and export formats such as ICD, IID, CID, SCD, SSD, and SED. Engineers can add IEC 61850 devices and build a complete station for substation automation technology.

With a PC or a notebook, you can parameterize the devices via the interfaces and export and visualize the fault data. DIGSI 5 comes in different variants (Compact, Standard, and Premium) that provide different functionalities:

• The Single-Line Editor allows you to define a substation and the primary equipment graphically. Connect those elements to the protection functions of your protection devices.
• The graphic display of the SIPROTEC devices can be designed and edited with the Display Editor as well as with a graphics program. Take your single-line diagram and convert it into a display picture. You can define your own symbols as well.
• You can configure additional functions like interlocking of the devices graphically with the CFC Editor.
• Graphic display with resolution of 1024?768 (1280?1024 recommended)
• The Siemens IEC 61850 System Configurator allows you to configure and parameterize IEC 61850 stations. With this tool you to manage subnets, network communicators, and their IP addresses and connect the information items of different communicators.
• DIGSI 5 Test Suite provides a rich set of test tools that speeds up your commissioning phase and supports you during operations. One of the test features is the possibility to create and execute test sequences to issue device tests without external test equipment.
• SIGRA for analyzing fault records, for example those recorded by fault recorders when there are faults in power plants, in a simple, rapid, and convenient manner.

Languages: English, German, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Turkish, Czech, Polish and Russian.

DIGSI 5 is available in three function packages:

DIGSI 5 Compact:

Software for configuration and use of individual SIPROTEC 5 protection devices manufactured by Siemens and reading out process data from SIPROTEC 5 devices (projects are limited to a single device).

DIGSI 5 Standard:

As for DIGSI 5 Compact, but without constraint as to the number of SIPROTEC 5 devices supported per project, including system configurator for IEC 61850.

The editors for function charts (CFC), graphic single line and device configuration are also included. SIGRA for professional fault record analysis is available as an option.

DIGSI 5 Premium:

As for DIGSI 5 Standard, but with integrated test and startup functionality, including the option to create test sequences and run them in the protection device without external test equipment.

IEC 61850 also supports flexible engineering and functional naming.
