(SAVING...), and the control will save the configurationdata to the memory device. If a file already exists on thememory device with the same name, the words (REPLACEFILE) will display; press the ENTER key to confirm savingover the existing file. Upon completion, the control willdisplay (OK TO REMOVE). The USB memory device may beremoved after this message is displayed and the green LEDlight goes out.If the command is completed with errors, a (SAVE FAILED)message is displayed on the fourth line of the LCD. If thecommand is in progress and is aborted via the ESC key, a(CANCEL COMPLETED) message is displayed on the fourthline of the LCD.Loading configuration data, FC 951Using FC 951 will allow the user to select among theconfiguration files located on a USB memory device andload the desired file. Any of the stored files with the .cl7suffix can be selected and loaded.An Admin level of security is required to perform thisoperation. After inserting a USB memory device, accessFC 951. Press ENTER; this will bring up the first file namelocated on the device. If more than one .cl7 file is locatedon the device, a (More...) will appear on the screen. Usethe down arrow to scroll to the desired file for loading.Press ENTER again and the control LCD will display(CONFIRM). Press ENTER again to confirm and beginloading the file. The LCD will display (LOADING...), and thecontrol will load the configuration data from the memorydevice. Upon completion, the control will display (LOADCOMPLETE). The USB memory device may be removedafter this message is displayed.If the command is completed with errors, a (LOAD FAILED)message is displayed on the fourth line of the LCD. If thecommand is in progress and is aborted via the ESC key, a(CANCEL COMPLETE) message is displayed on the fourthline of the LCD.Remove device, FC 953It is always recommended that the USB memory device notbe removed from the control while the green LED abovethe port is illuminated. To prepare the control for removal ofthe device, access FC 953 and press ENTER; (CONFIRM)will appear on the display. Pressing ENTER again will causethe message (OK TO REMOVE) to display and the greenLED to go out. The device may now be safely removed..CSV files, FC 954Comma-separated values (.CSV) files can be created andsaved onto a USB memory device inserted into the USBDRIVE data port. The two types of files that can be createdwill contain either voltage regulation settings or meteringdata. Once the file has been saved onto a USB memorydevice, the file can then be opened using a spreadsheetprogram on a computer.To create the .CSV files, begin by inserting a USB memorydevice into the control. Access FC 954 and press ENTERto bring up the Settings to .CSV option. Pressing ENTERagain will bring up a line on the control LCD enablingthe user to name the file and a prompt to CONFIRM theoperation. Pressing ENTER again will create the settingsfile. Accessing FC 954 and pressing the down arrow oncewill provide access Metering to .CSV option.CommunicationsCommunicate with the CL-7 control using ProView NXGsoftware or protocols such as DNP3 or IEC 60870. TheProView NXG software, used with a PC, can providetemporary local connection to the control.Communication portsThere are two physical communications ports and a PC dataport (USB type B) on the CL-7 control.The PC data port is for use as a temporary localcommunication connection to the control. Connection ismade to the PC data port by using a standard USB type Ato USB type B cable (standard USB printer cable). Whenusing ProView NXG software, a port configuration has beencreated to allow for easy connection. Clicking on the connectbutton will bring up a list of configured ports, click on DataPorts (USB Direct) to connect.The communication ports Com 1 and Com 2 are for useas permanent communication connection to the control.Connection is made by using an optional communicationaccessory card inserted into the side of the control. Acommunications base card is also required. The portsettings are configured using various function codes whichcan be found in the COMMUNICATIONS menu. See Table 9and Table 10 for a list of communication parameters anddescriptions.For more detailed instructions on using ProView NXGsoftware, see document MN225015EN CL-7 RegulatorControl ProView NXG Software Programming Guide.For more detailed instruction on communications settings,protocols and capabilities, see document MN225021ENCL-7 Regulator Control Communications.ProtocolsThere are several protocols resident in the CL-7 control. Theprotocols include DNP3 (serial and IP), IEC 60870-5-101 and-104, Cooper 2179, Modbus RTU, and Modbus TCP. Whileonly one protocol can be selected for a single Com port ata time, the two com ports can be set to different protocols.Both of the protocols are highly configurable.148INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS MN225003EN April 2018CL-7 Voltage Regulator Control
