DIGSI 4 - Generate Copies/Variants

A selected relay can be copied:

„Edit > Copy“ und „Edit > Paste“
The new relay comes up
Note: The new relay has a new internal address. Original and
copy are different.

For a selected relay a variant can be generated:

„Edit > Create variant“
The new relay variant comes up.
Note: The variant has the same address like the original relay.
Original and variant are not different!

DIGSI 4 - Copie versus variant

A relay must be copied, when there are two ore more

relays of the same type and the parameters should be
copied.
In this case the new relay must be initialized first (to
get a new internal address).
For a relay a variant must be created, when there are
multiple parameter settings are required for one relay.
The relay has to be initialized only once, because the
variants have all the same address.

DIGSI 4 - Working with variants

Create a new variant of your relay (in „Region North“): „My

relay 1“. Change one parameter.
Export the variant into the file system („Myrelay1.dex“ on
„C:\Floppy“).
Import the export file as a SIPROTEC 4 variant: „My relay
2“.
Change the parameterization of the original relay.
Import the export file directly as SIPROTEC 4 relay and
replace the original relay.
