retrieve and edit its Programmable Scheme Logic files and send the modified file
back to a MiCOM Px40 device.
Although each device will have different PSL capability, the module presents each cell
to the user in a uniform style, showing the permissible functions allowed if
appropriate.
3.1 How to use MiCOM Px40 PSL editor

With the MiCOM Px40 PSL Module you can
• Start a new PSL diagram
• Extract a PSL file from a MiCOM Px40 IED
• Open a diagram from a PSL file
• Add logic components to a PSL file
• Move components in a PSL file
• Edit link of a PSL file
• Add link to a PSL file
• Highlight path in a PSL file
• Use a conditioner output to control logic
• Download PSL file to a MiCOM Px40 IED
• Print PSL files
User Interface PX40
3.1.1 Starting a new scheme logic diagram

Before a scheme logic diagram can be created, the Editor must have a "template"
configuration that allows it to determine various relay-specific parameters such as the
number of optos and contacts, and signal names and types. Because there are many
different variants of MiCOM relay, it is not possible for the Editor to provide a
common default scheme. Instead, a configuration needs to be loaded from either a
file or a relay.
Loading schemes from files
The product is shipped with default scheme files. These can be opened as they stand
to be used as a starting point for changes to a scheme. Alternatively, to create a new
"blank" scheme the appropriate default file for the appropriate relay may be opened.
To do this check the "New (blank) scheme for this relay model" check box in the Open
File dialogue box. Selecting this check box has the effect of deleting the diagram
components from the default file to leave an empty diagram but with the correct
configuration information loaded.
Loading schemes from relays
Recovering an existing scheme from a relay should be avoided if it can be obtained
from the corresponding file. A scheme recovered from a relay is logically correct but
the positional information of signals and links is not available from the relay.
Diagram Reconstruction after Recover from Relay explains the consequences.
If a new "blank" scheme is required, an existing scheme can be uploaded from an
appropriate relay then all of the components should be deleted. In these
circumstances the missing positional information is of no consequence.
3.1.2 Recover scheme logic data from a relay
Recovery of a scheme from a relay, although logically correct, produces a diagram
that may not look very like the original.
Extraction should be avoided if the scheme can be obtained from the file that was
saved when the scheme was sent to the relay.
See Diagram Reconstruction from Relay Extraction
1. Open a connection to the relay.
2. Recover from Relay from the Device menu. If there is an unsaved scheme
you will be prompted to save it before continuing with the data recovery
operation.
User Interface PX40
3.1.3 Open a scheme logic diagram

1. Choose Open from the File menu. The Open File dialog is displayed.
2. Navigate to, and highlight, the required file.
3. Check New (blank) scheme for this IED model if you want a new blank
scheme containing the configuration for the relay model. If this is not checked
the default scheme will be loaded.
4. Click Open
Possible reasons for failure to open the connection are dealt with in
Troubleshooting.
3.1.4 Add Logic Symbols to a diagram
Logic symbols, text, and images can be added to the canvas by clicking the
appropriate button on the Logic Symbols toolbar, then clicking the left mouse button
on the canvas. The symbol is added to the canvas at the mouse pointer location.
You will be presented with a properties dialog where a signal name must be chosen
before the symbol can be created. Other properties can be set for some of the
symbols.
3.1.5 Move a Component
With the selection pointer select one or more components.
They can then be moved by:
• Placing the mouse pointer over one of the selected components so the pointer
changes to a 4 headed arrow. Then click and drag them to the new position with
the left mouse button held down.
• Using the Nudge Tools
3.1.6 Edit a Link
When a link is added to a diagram by clicking first on the start symbol then the end
symbol the link is drawn in a simple manner that may not be as you would wish.
There are a number of ways that the routing of a link can be edited.
All editing operations are done using the selection pointer.
Moving line sections of a link
Position the selection pointer over the line section so it is a 2 headed arrow, then click
and drag with the left mouse button.
Moving a vertex
Select the link with a left mouse click, then position the selection pointer over the
vertex so it is a 4 headed arrow, then click and drag with the left mouse button.
User Interface PX40
Adding a vertex
Select the link with a left mouse click, then position the selection pointer over the line
section so it is a 2 headed arrow, then, while holding down the CTRL key, click the left
mouse button.
Superfluous vertexes will be automatically removed when a link is edited.
Deleting a vertex
Select the link with a left mouse click, then position the selection pointer over the
vertex so it is a 4 headed arrow, then, while holding down the CTRL key, click the left
mouse button.
Creating a straight line link
Deleting all the vertexes in a link will create a straight line link between two
components.

3.1.7 Add a Link to a diagram
A link between logic symbols represents a logical connection within a relay, so there
are rules that need to be adhered-to.
To add a link
1. click the Link tool on the Logic Symbols toolbar. The mouse pointer changes to
a small cross.
2. move the pointer to the symbol to connect from.
3. when the pointer is close to the connection point it will change to a target (a
cross in a circle).
4. click while the pointer is a target.
5. now move the pointer to the symbol to connect to.
6. again while the pointer is a target click the mouse to complete the link. The link
will be drawn as simply as possible using horizontal and vertical lines.
7. while the link tool is active you may continue to add more links.
8. press the ESC key or right click on the canvas to return to the selection pointer.
Adding links to a gate
When a gate is created it has two inputs. Additional connection points are
automatically created as more links are added. Position the target pointer at the top
of the gate to add links to the top and at the bottom to add them to the bottom.
Complex links
While creating a link, you may click the mouse in several places to route the link
around other components. Each click will create a vertex.

3.1.8 Highlight a Path
Symbols and links may be highlighted to enable components that are connected to
be easily identified on the diagram.
User Interface PX40
Highlighting is done from the anchor component only.

Choose Highlight from the Edit menu.
1. Highlighting is removed by left-clicking in an area of free canvas, or
performing an edit action.

Example 3
Highlighting a signal symbol causes all logically connected links to be highlighted.
Example 4
Highlighting a signal symbol or its associated signal symbol causes all logically
connected links to be highlighted.
User Interface PX40
3.1.9 Use a conditioner output to control logic

The output from an LED conditioner or contact conditioner may be used as an input
to other logic elements in a scheme.
First ensure that the conditioner exists on the scheme.
1. Then add the appropriate LED Signal or Contact Signal symbol to the diagram
using Logic Symbols toolbar.
2. A link may then be attached to the connection point at right hand end of the
symbol. This connection point on the signal does not have the usual tail.
The program ensures that the rules for Inserting Contact and LED Signals are
adhered to.
3.1.10 Send scheme logic data to a MiCOM Px40 IED
1. Open a connection to the MiCOM Px40 IED.
2. Choose Send to IED from the Device menu.
WARNINGS
Before the scheme is sent to the relay some checks are done. Various warning
messages may be displayed as a result of these checks.
The Editor first reads in the model number of the connected relay, and then compares
it with the stored model number. A "wildcard" comparison is employed. If a model
mismatch occurs then a warning will be generated before sending commences. Both
the stored model number and that read-in from the relay are displayed along with
the warning; the bonus is on you to decide if the settings to be sent are compatible
with the connected relay. Wrongly ignoring the warning could lead to undesired
behaviour in the relay.
If there are any potential problems of an obvious nature then a list will be generated.
The types of potential problems that the program attempts to detect are:
• One or more gates, LED signals, contact signals, and/or timers have their outputs
linked directly back to their inputs. An erroneous link of this sort could lock up the
relay, or cause other more subtle problems to arise.
• Inputs To Trigger (ITT) exceeds the number of inputs. A programmable gate has
its ITT value set to greater than the number of actual inputs; the gate can never
activate. Note that there is no lower ITT value check. A 0-value does not generate
a warning.
• Too many gates. There is a theoretical upper limit of 256 gates in a scheme, but
the practical limit is determined by the complexity of the logic. In practice the
scheme would have to be very complex, and this error is unlikely to occur.
• Too many links. There is no fixed upper limit to the number of links in a scheme.
However, as with the maximum number of gates, the practical limit is determined
by the complexity of the logic. In practice the scheme would have to be very
complex, and this error is unlikely to occur.

Inserting Contact
A contact can only be inserted into the raster if its associated conditioner are already
present. This is deliberately enforced by the program. If this condition was not
imposed, a signal could be used in a scheme without its associated conditioner on

The conditioner settings may affect the signal, since the absence of the conditioner
from the raster would not disassociate it from the signal. Under this circumstance the
scheme might not behave in the expected manner.
Deleting Conditionners
An attempt to delete a contact conditioner will be refused if there are any associated
signals for that conditioner anywhere on the diagram. This prevents the situation
where conditioner signals remain on the diagram, but the conditioner themselves
have been deleted. If the delete action is refused, find all occurrences of the
conditioner signals and delete them first. Use Highlight a Path to find the associated
signals.

links to any other logic element. An inverted link is indicated
with a "bubble" on the input to the gate:
Due to constraints within the relay logic, there are several
Crules that must be adhered-to when linking symbols
together. If one of these rules is broken then the link will fail.
Rules For Linking Symbols
Links can only be started from the output of a signal, gate, or conditionner, and can
only be ended on an input to a gate.
Since signals can only be either an input or an output then the concept is somewhat
different. In order to follow the convention adopted for gates and conditionners, input
signals are connected from the left, and output signals from the right. The Editor will
automatically enforce this convention.
A link attempt will be refused where one or more rules would otherwise be broken. A
link will be refused for the following reasons:
An attempt to connect to a signal that is already driven. The cause of the refusal may
not be obvious, since the signal symbol may appear elsewhere in the diagram. Use
Highlight a Path to find the other signal.
An attempt is made to repeat a link between two symbols. The cause of the refusal
may not be obvious, since the existing link may be represented elsewhere in the
diagram. E.g. a gate is controlled directly by the output of an LED conditioner. An
attempt is made to link a separate LED signal corresponding to the LED conditioner
(which is logically the same as the LED conditioner output) to the gate. The Editor
detects this and refuses the connection.
3.4.7 Diagram Reconstruction after Recover from Relay
Although the extraction of a scheme from a relay is supported, the facility is provided
as a way of recovering a scheme in the event that the original file is unobtainable.
The recovered scheme will be logically correct, but much of the original graphical
information is lost. Many signals will be drawn in a vertical line down the left side of
the canvas. Links are drawn orthogonally using the shortest path from A to B.
Any annotation added to the original diagram (titles, notes etc.) are lost.
Sometimes a gate type may not be what was expected, e.g. a 1-input AND gate in
the original scheme will appear as an OR gate when uploaded.
Programmable gates with an inputs-to-trigger value of 1 will also appear as OR
gates.
3.4.8 Signals Properties
Signal properties menu
The Signals List tab is used for the selection of logic signals.
User Interface PX40
It lists the signals of the chosen type that are available for the specific relay
configuration.
The signals listed will be appropriate to the type of Logic Symbol being added to the
diagram. They will be of one of the following types;
Opto Signal
Input Signal
Output Signal
Fault Record Trigger
LED Signal
Contact Signal
3.4.9 Text, Font & Labels
Text
Text components are very similar to rectangle components. A rectangular box is
drawn around the border of the text component using the line properties. If the line
property is set to transparent, then no border is drawn. The text component can be
moved, scaled, and rotated. The four vertices that make up the bounding rectangle of
the text component can be edited. Like the rectangle component, the text component
maintains its shape when a vertex is moved.
The text component can be configured to support either a single line or multiple lines
of text. If the multi-line text is enabled, the automatic word break (i.e. word wrap)
feature can be enabled or disabled.
The text can also be aligned vertically or horizontally. Vertical alignment is only
applicable to single line text.
Double clicking a text component will put it into edit mode. Enter the new text then
press ENTER to accept the changes, or ESC to abort the changes.
Font
Enables you to set the font, style, size and colour of a text component.
Labels
Enables you to change the orientation and position of the Label with respect to its
owner.
