1 Overview of Diagram Builder

The Diagram Builder is the HMI development software for the SEL-3530 Real Time Automation Controller (RTAC).

2 Getting Started

2.1 Installing Diagram Builder

If you purchased the SEL-3530 with an HMI the Diagram Builder installation disk accompanied the device. You can obtain a copy of the Diagram Builder software from your local SEL representative.

1. Insert the CD or double-click the setup file and follow the automatic install directions.

2. When the install prompts for an LAC, leave the default NA and complete the installation.

To license the diagram builder software, follow the directions in Licensing Diagram Builder.

2.2 Upgrading an Existing SEL-3530 RTAC

To perform an HMI upgrade of an existing SEL-3530 RTAC, do the following:

Note: Completing the following steps to perform a firmware upgrade causes erasure of the loaded RTAC project. You will need to resend the project after you have loaded firmware.

1. Obtain from your local SEL representative the HMI MOT upgrade file and the latest firmware file. The upgrade file will be a zipped file. Do not unzip it.

2. Open the ACSELERATOR RTAC SEL-5033 program, and click the logo at the upper left.

3. Select the Options button at the lower right.

4. Select Firmware Update from the menu.

5. Follow the prompts, and point the firmware update tool to the latest firmware available from SEL.

6. Send the file to the RTAC.

7. After you have sent the file to the RTAC, repeat the previous steps but point in Step 5 to the zipped MOT upgrade file.

2.3 Licensing Diagram Builder

After you install Diagram Builder, you will need a license to use the program.

1. Send the licenseinfo.txt file located in the default install directory C:\Program Files\SEL\AcSELerator\DiagramBuilder\bin to [email protected] to obtain a license file.

2. Place this license file in the same directory.

2.4 SEL HMI Updates

As we continue to improve our HMI software and capabilities, we will make available update files that you can receive easily on your RTAC without disrupting the RTAC’s existing firmware or projects.

1. With Diagram Builder open, select Tools > HMI Runtime Binary Upload Tool.

6


2. Follow the prompts, and point the tool to the .bin file update you received from your local SEL representative.

2.5 Where to Begin

After you have loaded and licensed Diagram Builder, you can begin development.

3. With Diagram Builder open, select File > New > Project or press <Ctrl + N> from the keyboard to open a new project.

4. A diagram is a window that displays in the HMI. A base diagram requires a Data Source for the HMI to update statuses. Nothing will update without it. This should be the first object placed on the diagram.

5. When you create a new project, a diagram is immediately created and the Diagram Builder software prompts you to enter an IP address and a name. By default, the software uses this information to create a Data Source for placement on the new diagram. (For more information on the Data Source object, see Data Source.

7


2.5.1 HMI Tags

You will need to first create an ACSELERATOR RTAC project file before working with Diagram Builder. Diagram Builder can display all enabled device tags for devices you have configured in the RTAC. It can also use virtual tags.

Device Tags

Device tags are tags that the ACSELERATOR RTAC software defines and enables within each of the device connections it configures within the RTAC.

8


Virtual Tags

Virtual tags are tags within the RTAC that are not directly tied to any device or process. You can use all virtual tags in Diagram Builder and display these tags on the HMI. While no scripting engine exists within the Diagram Builder software, the RTAC has a very powerful one. Within the RTAC arithmetic features, you can perform comparisons, averages, and many more functions to device tags and load a result into a virtual tag. You can then use the virtual tag inside the Diagram Builder and display it on the HMI.

9


Importing Tags

After you have completed an ACSELERATOR RTAC project, you can use the Diagram Builder to import all of the tags you defined in the project. There are two methods by which you can import the tags into Diagram Builder: obtain the tags from the project file or from the SEL-3530 RTAC itself. To start, click the Import Tags icon or select File > Import Tags.

Importing Tags Via Database

10


Importing Tags Directly to the RTAC

11


2.6 Working With the Diagram

After you have imported tags, started a new diagram, and a data source is on the diagram, you can begin developing the one-line diagram or process that you want to display on the HMI. There are two methods available for displaying the tags that you imported on the diagram: placing the tags directly on the diagram or placing objects on the diagram and then tying these objects to the tag.

2.6.1 Placing Tags Onto the Diagram

When you import tags into the project, they become available for use on the diagram.

1. Click the Tags button to the upper left of the Diagram Builder.

2. Find a tag and drag and drop it onto the diagram.

This tag will adopt the default tool for that tag type. See the following screenshot.

12


2.6.2 Placing Objects on the Diagram

Another method is to use the Toolbox to drag pre-canned objects onto the diagram and then use the Tag Name property for each object to tie them to tags. See the following screenshots.

2.6.3 Object Order

Built within Diagram Builder are several object-layering tools that you can use to place objects behind or in front of other objects or controls. Access these tools via the toolbar.

2.6.4 Alignment, Spacing, and Arrangement Tools

There are many additional tools within the toolbar that you can use to organize the objects and adjust their appearance to obtain a more orderly and consistent look and feel for the HMI diagram.

13


2.6.5 Settings

Diagram Settings

Use the Diagram Settings tool to configure the behavior and attributes of the diagram on which you are actively working. You can define here how the diagram’s title will appear in HMI, the font of the items on the diagram, background color , diagram size, and line color.

14


General

• Diagram Title: The diagram title is the name of the diagram. This is the header of the diagram that displays when you view the HMI.

• Line Color and Line Width: These settings change the default behavior of the line drawing tool in Diagram Builder. Any new lines you draw will adopt the characteristics you define here.

Note: If you have selected Apply these line settings to any existing lines in this diagram, then all existing lines in the active diagram will adopt the characteristics you define here when you select the Update Diagram button.

Appearance

• Diagram Dimensions: These properties determine the default zoom level of the active diagram when you view it on the HMI. By setting these parameters correctly, you can view all items on the diagram with minimal wasted space.

Note: Selecting the Fit-to-Screen button while viewing the HMI will return the diagram to these parameters.

• Background Color: This setting selects the background color of the active diagram itself.

15


Font

• Font Family: Changes the text font of items you place in the active diagram. Selections include Arial, Comic Sans MS, Courier New, Georgia, Lucida Grande, Tahoma, and Times New Roman.

• Font Size: Changes the size of the text of items you place in the active diagram.

• Font Style: Changes to italic the control text of items you place in the active diagram.

• Font Weight: Changes to bold the control text of items you place in the active diagram.

Note: If you have selected Apply these font settings to any existing controls in this diagram, then all existing controls and items in the active diagram will take the characteristics you define here when you select the Update Diagram button.

16


2.6.6 Setting the Default Diagram

To set the primary diagram to open when you first view the HMI online, select it in the Project Navigation pane. Then right-click it and select Set As Default. The default diagram is the diagram that you view first upon opening the HMI.

17


Application Settings

The Application Settings allow you to make such global changes to the project as background color, lines, font, appearance, grid spacing, and Diagram Builder behavior settings.

Appearance

• Diagram Dimensions: These properties are at the default zoom level of any new diagrams you view on the HMI. By setting these parameters correctly, you can display diagrams so that you view items with minimal wasted space.

Note: Selecting the Fit-to-Screen button while viewing the HMI returns the diagram to these parameters.

• Background Color: This setting selects the background color of the new diagram itself.

Note: If you have selected Apply these diagram size settings to all diagrams or Apply this diagram background color to all diagrams, then your selection of the Update App Settings button causes all existing diagrams in the project to adopt the characteristics you have defined here.

18


Diagram Management

• Open All Diagrams: Upon opening a project, you can choose to have Diagram Builder open all diagrams in the project file.

• Automatically Create Diagram: Upon new project creation, you can choose to have Diagram Builder automatically add a new diagram to the project.

• Automatically Create a Data Source: Upon new diagram creation, you can choose to have Diagram Builder automatically add a Data Source.

• Maximum Diagram File Size: Sets the combined diagram’s size limit.

• Database Command Timeout: When Diagram Builder sends a Diagram Builder project to the RTAC database, there is a delay during which Diagram Builder waits for confirmation that the RTAC has received and recorded project information. Should the delay exceed this setting, the Diagram Builder terminates transmission of projects.

Note: For very large projects, you may have to adjust this setting for a longer delay. Under most conditions, the default setting should need no change.

19


Grid

• Grid Color: The color of the grid that displays on diagrams while you are working in Diagram Builder.

• Grid Spacing: Sets the grid width/height spacing.

• Visibility: Allows you to display the grid on diagrams.

• Snap to Grid: When set to On, drawing objects snap to the closest grid lines.

20


Lines

Line Color and Line Width: These settings change the default behavior of the line drawing tool in Diagram Builder. Any new lines you draw adopt the characteristics you define here.

Note: If you have selected Apply these line settings to all existing lines in all diagrams, then your selection of the Update App Settings button causes all lines in existing diagrams to assume the characteristics you define here.

General

Enable Autosave: By selecting Enable Autosave, you cause Diagram Builder to create project backup files with the extension .bak at the time interval you define in this setting. The original file remains unmodified until you choose to save via the file menu.

21


Font

• Font Family: Sets the text font for items you place in diagrams. Selections include Arial, Comic Sans MS, Courier New, Georgia, Lucida Grande, Tahoma, and Times New Roman.

• Font Size: Sets the size of text for items you place in diagrams.

• Font Style: Sets the control text to italic for items you place in diagrams.

• Font Weight: Sets the control text to bold for items you place in diagrams.

Note: If you have selected Apply these font settings to all existing controls in all diagrams, then your selection of the Update App Settings button causes all existing controls and items in all the diagrams to assume the characteristics you define here.

Search

With the Diagram Builder Search utility, you can search a diagram for usage of text or controls. Through use of this utility, you can replace control descriptions and tags. Access this utility via the <Ctrl + F> hotkey or by selecting Edit > Find.

22


Find Text

Use the Find Text feature to search for a particular usage of text within the current diagram, diagrams that are presently open, all diagrams, or just what you have selected on the diagram. You can expand your search to case sensitivity, exact word entry, or only certain properties of controls within the diagram.

Search In: By selecting Search In, you can select to only search in certain areas such as open diagrams, in the entire project, or just the presently active diagram.

Replace Text

The Replace Text feature is one of the most powerful tools within Diagram Builder. If, for example, you have developed several similar annunciator tiles that differ only in their child tag names and descriptions, the Replace Text tool can make quick work of assigning new tags and descriptions. In the form represented by the following screenshot, for example, you can replace the unique portion of the tag names with a single click.

• Search In: By selecting Search In, you can select to only replace objects in certain areas such as open diagrams, in the entire project, or in just the presently active diagram.

• Only Replace In: By selecting Only Replace In, you can choose to have replacement occur only in tag names, descriptions, or other properties.

23


Find Controls

The Find Controls function lets you search for a particular control type you have used within the project. Enough flexibility exists within this function that you can choose to search only specific areas.

• Find Control Type: This drop-down search box populates with control types in use within the area you select with Search In.

• Search In: By selecting Search In, you can choose to only search in certain areas such as open diagrams, the entire project, or just the presently active diagram.

Select

Use the Select menu to make simultaneous changes to multiple objects or to simply select multiple objects to copy or delete.

Select All

Using the menu Select > Select All selects everything on the active diagram. You can also accomplish this through use of the <Ctrl + A> hotkey.

Select Lines

Use Select > Select Lines to select all lines on the active diagram.

Select Controls By Type

Through the use of Select > Select Control Type, you can select all controls by their type. This is particularly useful when you need to change a single property for all of the controls for the selected control type. For instance, you can use this tool to change the alarm color for all breakers at the same time.

24


Preview of Control Conditions

After or during diagram development, you can choose to view how the diagram would display under certain conditions. On the toolbar, there are several selections available for previewing the diagram object’s conditions within Diagram Builder.

Quality Symbol

Every control has a quality label with which it is associated. If the assigned tag to the control or label has a bad quality condition, that quality indicator will appear on the HMI. For analog displays, this will appear as an exclamation point preceding the metering label. For all other displays, this indicator will appear as a yellow triangle with a red question mark. For an annunciator tile, any child object with bad quality or any assigned tag to the tile will cause a quality indication on the tile.

25


Locked Condition for Controls

When the HMI is in read-only mode or the Always Authenticate property of the control object is set to True, the control object displays a lock. When you click the control, Diagram Builder displays a small username logon screen from which you must authenticate your user level before the program issues the control.

The control would also be locked if the Locked on Operator Blocked property is true. This property monitors the quality status of the assigned control tag. If this tag is of bad quality, the property locks and inhibits controls. You can ignore this quality error by clicking the control, authenticating the user level, and sending the control.

26


Log File Viewer

The Log Viewer is a diagnostic tool that you can use to view the diagnostics log and quickly find and resolve issues that you discovered during development. You can access this tool through selection of Tools > Log File Viewer.

Log Viewer

The Log Viewer is a graphical user interface (GUI) from which you can view log file contents. Diagram Builder actively generates a log file during development. If issues occur, you can use this tool to diagnose problems.

Logger Settings

Through use of the Logger Settings tab, you can limit the file size of the log file. The log file rolls over when you exceed this threshold.

27


Manage Projects

Use the Manage Projects utility to delete projects or download and upload projects from and to the RTAC. You can start the utility by selecting the quick link on the toolbar or by selecting File > Manage Projects.

Download From Device

To download the HMI files from the RTAC, perform the following:

1. Select the Manage Projects utility via the quick link on the toolbar or the File menu.

2. Select the Download From Device tab.

3. Choose the file location to which you want to save the HMI files.

4. Refresh the list of diagrams loaded onto the RTAC.

5. Select Download to complete the download from the RTAC to the computer.

28


Upload to Device

Delete From Device

To delete projects that you have previously loaded on the RTAC, select the Delete From Device tab and do the following:

1. Select Refresh File List to populate the lower pane with all the projects presently on the RTAC.

2. Select the box next to each project you want to delete from the RTAC.

3. Select Delete to remove the projects you selected from the RTAC.

3 Navigation

3.1 Control Dock

The Control Dock provides additional means for showing detail related to a Breaker object. You can only use the Control Dock with the Breaker object. Diagram Builder applies tags to the Control Window section inside the device properties of the Breaker object. During runtime, you can hold down the Ctrl key while clicking the mouse on the Breaker object, to cause the Control Dock pane to open from the right side of the screen with all tags applied to the Control Window properties. (For additional information on Breaker properties, see Breaker.

Note: A breaker must have at least one binary output tag assigned to its Control Window property for the Control Dock to function in runtime.

3.1.1 Selecting Tags

Clicking the breaker in Diagram Builder will expose its properties in the properties pane. Assignment of the tags that display in the Control Dock during runtime occurs in the Control

32


Window properties pane. At least one binary output must be assigned for the Control Dock to function.

3.2 Control Dock in Runtime

To open the Control Dock while using the HMI, simply hold down the Ctrl key and click with your mouse on the breaker. The Control Dock will expand from the right side to expose all live values for tags assigned in the Control Window properties.

33


3.3 Annunciator Tiles

The primary purpose for annunciator tiles is to provide you additional detail for a specific area. For instance, you can place an Annunciator Tile above a breaker in Diagram Builder. Double-clicking the tile will open another diagram that you can fill with more comprehensive diagnostics and graphics related to that breaker. During runtime, you can double-click the tile in the HMI to open an additional detail screen for more information. The Annunciator Tile from the main diagram will also flash in alarm if any item in the child diagram goes into alarm or if its assigned tag goes into alarm. (For a detailed view of Annunciator Tile properties, see Annunciator Tile.

34


3.4 Navigation Pane

The Navigation Pane is also available to you while you are in runtime. The Navigation Pane contains all of the diagrams, including the annunciator diagrams listed. Double-click on these diagrams to open them in the HMI. From this pane, you can display any project Static Trends by double-clicking them. You can use the Dynamic Trends category to develop user-specific trends.

35


3.5 Trend Designer for Static Trends

Inside the project development of Diagram Builder is a feature to design static trends in the project. These are trends viewable by all clients but unconfigurable by users once you have loaded them into a project. From the Project Navigation pane inside Diagram Builder, right-click the Trend Groups header and select Create New.

5 Appendix – Application Examples

5.1 Building an HMI

The basic HMI electrical one-line drawing consists of the following:

• Lines

• Breakers

• Analog values

• Status values

• Annunciator tiles (for detail screens)

To begin the one-line drawing, open Diagram Builder and do the following:

1. Create a new project. Assign the property for the IP address to the proper address of the RTAC at the prompt. Define the parameters for the Data Source. For more information, see Data Source.

2. Import tags from the ACSELERATOR RTAC project. (For more information, see Importing Tags.)

3. Drag an Annunciator Tile on to the diagram from the Toolbox. (For more information, see Annunciator Tile.)

4. Drag a Breaker on to the diagram from the Toolbox. Assign its tag property to the proper 52A or 52B breaker contact. (For more information, see Breaker.) Remember to adjust the alarm and normal state properties according to the contact you are using.

5. Drag a couple of Conductors to the diagram from the Toolbox. (For more information, see Conductor.) Assign tag properties to the proper analog or Boolean tags.

6. Situate and resize the object to match the following screenshot.

169


7. Hold down your left mouse button on the diagram and drag the transparent selection box

around all Conductor, Annunciator Tile, and Breaker objects to select them.

8. While you have the objects selected, press <Ctrl + C> on your keyboard to copy them.

9. Now press <Ctrl + V> on the keyboard to paste the objects you copied. Do this four times.

10. Position the groupings similar to the following screenshot.

11. Copy one of the Conductors and paste it twice on the diagram.

12. Right-click and rotate each Conductor two 45-degree steps, for a total of 90 degrees. Place each Conductor in the same bus location as the following figure indicates.

13. Drag a Metering Label on to the diagram three times. For more information, see Metering Label.

14. Align the three Metering Labels.

15. Select and copy all three Metering Labels.

16. Paste the copied Metering Labels to the locations shown in the following screenshot.

17. To complete the main level one-line diagram, use the chapters in this manual for reference and set all control parameters in the diagram.

170


18. Select and copy the three Metering Labels, the Breaker, the Annunciator Tile, and two

Conductor objects for FDR1.

19. Double-click the Annunciator Tile above FDR1.

20. Paste the objects you copied into the child diagram that displays after you double-click the Annunciator Tile.

21. Add additional detail items to this screen.

22. Add control items to the child screen.

171


23. While you are within the child diagram, use <Ctrl + A> from your keyboard to select and

copy all objects.

24. Open Annunciator Tiles in FDR2, FDR3, and Main and paste within these the items you copied.

25. Use Find (<Ctrl + F> from your keyboard) to reassociate the tags in FDR2, FDR3, and Main.

5.2 Building Front-Panel Faceplates

Adding images is one method by which you can improve the look and feel of the HMI. One nice Diagram Builder feature is the ability to add the front-panel image of an SEL device and drag input LEDs on top of the image to reproduce exactly what operators would see if they were in the substation.

1. Within an Annunciator Tile (see Annunciator Tile for details about Annunciator Tiles) or a new Diagram, drag the Image object onto the diagram. For more information about Image objects, see Image.

2. In the Image object properties, point to a device front panel.

172


3. Drag Input LEDs onto the object and size these LEDs accordingly.

4. Tie the LEDs to the appropriate front-panel LED tags. Also verify that the alarm state and normal state are set to their proper colors. For more information on LED properties, see Input LED.
