Wi-Fi Database Administration

The IntelliRupter fault interrupter Wi-Fi database used by LinkStart v4, LSDBR3.txt is located on the computer at: ProgramData>S&C Electric>LinkStart. Each line in the database contains the serial number, device revision, device name, and the device location. This file is automatically created after the first successful LinkStart Wi-Fi connection is made. See Figure 13.

Figure 13. The IntelliRupter fault interrupter Wi-Fi database used by LinkStart v4.

Entries are automatically added to this database file after successful connection to each unique device. To manually add or edit entries using Windows Notepad, double-click on the line to open the file. Each line represents one IntelliRupter fault interrupter. Enter the serial number first (use the format ## – #######), and follow this entry by a tab or one or more spaces. Enter the Wi-Fi communication module version number, either R0 or R3, followed by a tab or one or more spaces. LinkStart v4 will automatically make correction to the version number in this .txt file during the connection process. Enter the name of the IntelliRupter fault interrupter (no spaces are allowed in the device name) and follow this entry by a tab or one or more spaces. Then, enter the device location (spaces may be used).

The universal access number, as illustrated on the first line in Figure 17 on page 20, should be the first entry in any database. If it is not present, enter this text line: 00-0000000 R3 Universal Universal Serial Number.

NOTICEThe Wi-Fi database structure was changed in LinkStart Version 4 .0 .0 .x . When the existing IntelliRupter fault interrupter database was created for an earlier version of LinkStart, there was no R3 or R0 version number . If the IntelliRupter fault interrupter still has the factory default security keys, the Wi-Fi connection can be completed by entering the IntelliRupter fault interrupter serial number directly into the Serial Number: text box in the main LinkStart screen, as shown in Figure 26 on page 25 .

Automatic LSDB.txt File Conversion

Copy and paste the old LSDB file to the ProgramData>S&C Electric>LinkStart folder. When the LinkStart v4 connects to an R3 communication module, a new LSDBR3.txt file will be automatically created in that folder and populated with the existing information from the old LSDB file. A new column is created in the file adjacent to the serial number column to display the “R” revision of the communication module. All serial numbers are initially listed as “R3.”

When the LinkStart v4 connects to an IntelliRupter fault interrupter with a serial number that is already in the newly created LSDBR3 file, it always first tries to communicate as though it is an R3 Communication Module. If the IntelliRupter has an R0 module, communication is established and the R revision number in the new LSDBR3 .txt file is automatically corrected to display “R0” for that serial number. The Universal Serial Number always remains “R3” because it may connect to any control, first trying R3 and then R0.


Wi-Fi Database Administration

Information entered in the LSDBR3.txt file displays in the LinkStart Connect to a Device screen when that serial number connects to its IntelliRupter fault interrupter. See serial number 08-9001122 in Figure 14, This text information is displayed in Figure 15.

To demonstrate automatic correction of a manual text entry, when this LSDBR3.txt file was edited the module type was incorrectly entered as “R0.” After connecting to that IntelliRupter fault interrupter the LSDBR3.txt file was automatically corrected to “R3,” as shown in Figure 16.

Sharing a Configuration

When two or more IntelliRupter fault interrupters use the same software version and a similar setup configuration, the configuration setpoint profile from one can be saved and loaded into the other(s). Then, only the site-related setpoints need to be adjusted. The setpoint profile can also be used to restore setpoints if they are lost during a configuration. Follow these steps to share a configuration:

STEP 1. Start IntelliLink software and connect to the IntelliRupter fault interrupter with the setup configuration to be saved or shared.

STEP 2. Select the File>Save Setpoints option.

STEP 3. In the Save Setpoints dialog box, click the check boxes for the groups to be saved. See Figure 38.

STEP 4. In the Save Setpoints dialog box, specify a name and location for this configuration. Use the ... button for more file and folder information. Then click on the Save and OK buttons.

Figure 38. Save Setpoints dialog box.

To configure identical IntelliTeam SG Operation screens in every team member, save the setpoint profile from one control and load it into the other team members. Be sure to name the setpoint profiles logically (for example, “Team2” for Team 2 setpoints). When loading a setpoint profile into another team member, the IntelliLink software automati-cally configures the Setup>Restoration>IntelliTeam SG>Team x screen and displays the team number.

To save all setpoint values (including values for setpoint groups that may not have been configured), click on the Select All button.

NOTICEThe Security Setpoint Group setpoint is not included when the Select All button is used . It can be included by manually selecting its check box .

STEP 5. Close the IntelliLink software program and disconnect the computer.

NOTICES&C provides default setpoint files to provide a starting point for setting up an IntelliRupter fault interrupter . However, the user must be logged in at the Administrator level to load the default files .
