CHAPTER 9: MAINTENANCE BACK UP AND RESTORE SETTINGSC60 BREAKER PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 9-799.6.1 Back up settingsThe following file types can be saved:• URS — UR settings file — When the IEC 61850 option is not present• IID — Instantiated IED capability description file — Actual settings on UR• ICD — IED Capability Description file — Default settings on UR• CID — Configured IED description file — Settings sent to the UR (may or may not contain the present settings)UR device settings can be saved in a backup URS file using the EnerVista UR Setup software. The URS file is the standardUR settings file. For an introduction to settings files in the URS format, see the beginning of the Interfaces chapter. Whenthe IEC 61850 option is present, the settings can be saved alternatively in a backup IID file either using the EnerVista URSetup software in online mode or by using any of the supported file transfer protocols. The IID file is one of several IEC61850 Substation Configuration Language (SCL) file types; see the IEC 61850 chapter in the UR Series CommunicationsGuide for an introduction to SCL."TBD" displays when a setting in a modeled element is configured with a non-modeled operand. For example, Phase IOC ismodeled in a firmware release, while the LED operands are not modeled. If the block setting of the Phase IOC is configuredwith LED operands, its displays as TBD in IID and CID files, the web interface, or in an MMS client.The options that display in the EnerVista software when right-clicking depend on device options.Preferences are set in the File > Preferences > IEC 61850 menu. There are two options as follows:• Preserve custom attributes when importing SCD/CID files — Applies to the Add Device to Offline Window option.When enabled, the IID file also is to be copied to the computer. The IID file that is retrieved from the relay is thereforeassumed to be in synchronization with the resulting .urs file, and in fact in this situation the IID file on the computer isa copy of the IID file that was read from the online device. When disabled, the IID file on the computer is to be leftunchanged. The location of the IID file is C:\ProgramData\GE Power Management\urpc\Offline, for example.• Do not update IID file when updating SCL files — When enabled (default), an IID file is not to be created on thecomputer and if one is already present there, it is neither removed nor updated. Have this option enabled when youwant to keep the IID file from the UR device instead of from another tool. The location of the file is C:\ProgramData\GEPower Management\urpc\Offline, for example.An Environment backup stores a list of sites and devices in the Online and Offline Window areas. Settings files are notcontained within the environment file. If a settings file is moved, renamed, or deleted after the backup, it is removed fromthe Offline Window during the restore.To save a settings file in the URS format in EnerVista Online Window:1. In EnerVista, connect to the device in the Online Window area.2. Right-click the device name in the Online Window area and select Add Device to Offline Window. A window opens.3. Select or enter a file name and location, and click the Receive button. A .urs file is created in the Offline Window area.To create a new settings file in the URS format in EnerVista Offline Window:1. In EnerVista, right-click in the Offline Window area and select New Device. A window opens.2. Change the file name at the end of the Path field, keeping the .urs extension.3. From the Associate File with Device drop-down list, select the UR device. Other fields complete automatically.Otherwise, when you do not select a device from the drop-down list, all fields need to be completed manually andonly devices that match the entered order code and version display in the list.4. The Serial # Lock field is the serial number of the intended device. It ensures that the settings file is sent only to thespecific relay that matches the serial number.5. Click the OK button to create the .urs file in the Offline Window area.To save settings in the IID format in EnerVista Online Window:1. In EnerVista, connect to the device in the Online Window area.
