F6 Multiple Amplifier Configurator Software

Password Protected - Current Registered F6XX instrument Users Only

F6 Multiple Amplifier Configurator is a software for configuring and controlling several F6 amplifiers (F6350 and F6300). The software is hosted on one computer and can control/configure up to 16 amplifiers.

Configuration of amplifiers is required to enable correct amplification of the low level signals that are provided by a host simulator such as the RTDS (Real Time Digital Simulator). The amplified signal must be of the correct magnitude based on conversion factors that are selected as part of the configuration process.

The configuration software configures both the AC analog outputs of the amplifiers and also the battery output of the F6350s. Since F6300 does not have a battery, it cannot be configured for battery output.

This software can run on both Windows XP and Windows 7 operating systems.

A password is required to unzip the installation package. To obtain the password, please send an e-mail to fserieshelp@doble.com with the subject line 'F6MultipleAmplifierConfigurator Password' (no quotes). Please state your name and affiliation in your e-mail. Download duration of this file will depend on your connection.

Please review the Marketing Release Notice that is included within the zip package before proceeding with the installation. You will require specific firmware to be flashed on the F6350s and the F6300s. Details regarding firmware are provided in the Marketing Release Notice.

Protection Web 1.0

General Description

Protection Web 1.0 is software intended for clients who wish to use Web Services for storing the ProTesT data in a central server. The central server can be located on the client premises or hosted by Doble Engineering Company. However, hosting at Doble will incur cost and will involve time to configure and set up the servers.

Users within the Company can access the data for purposes of testing, running queries for preparing NERC reports, and messaging/notifications. For effectively managing the protection assets of your Company, the software provides several features. These features will help in consolidating the test data in one place. For a regimented testing program, all users with appropriate privileges can download the data for a specific substation on to their computers and then run tests on various relays or on protections systems. Once the tests are completed the data can be uploaded to the server and the data will be synchronized.

The query part of the software allows easy access to consolidated data all in one place and hence, reduces the time and effort required to collect all relevant data required for preparing NERC reports.

The Messaging/Notification part of the software will enable propagation of important messages to all Protection Web users within the Company. These notifications can apply to upgrading of firmware on specific relays, conducting tests on specific relays, etc. This makes the management of protection assets easy and effective resulting in uniform implementation across the entire Company.

Protection Web consists of the following components

The Protection Web 1.0 installation consists of two parts:

    1. Protection Web Windows Client program that needs to be installed on the computers of all users within the company. Please refer to Protection Web 1.0 User Guide

    2. Server deployment and configuration. Please refer to Protection Web Services Deployment Guide

F6x Firmware 4.29.4

Firmware 4.29.4 rectifies a minor calibration issue with current released Firmware version 4.29.3. The issue with 4.29.3 is as follows:

When F6080 calibrator is used to calibrate a F6150 test set with firmware 4.29.3 installed on it, the calibration can result in a wider tolerance band of as high as +/- 0.18 percent for voltage channels only. The guaranteed accuracy of F6150 is +/- 0.09 percent. Current channels are not impacted.

Even though this deviation does not have any significant impact on testing protective relays but we have to bring this within the guaranteed +/- 0.09 percent tolerance band. With that in view, we are releasing firmware version 4.29.4 which corrects this problem. If you determine that the F6150s with firmware 4.29.3 that have been calibrated at your facility using F6080 should be re-calibrated, we recommend that you download this new firmware version, flash it on the F6150s and recalibrate your F6150s.

F6150s that have been calibrated at Doble facility do not fall under this category and are not affected.

F6150 users who do not calibrate their F6150s using F6080 do not have to install this new version of firmware right away. It can be installed at a suitable time in the coming months to remain current with the latest released firmware.

The Ethernet ports on the new F6150 units do not require a crossover cable for communication. The USB port on the F6150 will make it easier to communicate in a serial mode without having to use an external RS232-USB adapter. The USB port on the F6150 will be functional once you load the driver that is provided below in the USB-Driver.zip file.

The cable needed for communicating via USB port is provided with the new F6150 units and also with retrofit kits required for performing the replacement of the old front panel with the new ones.
