See the Introduction to Elements section at thebeginning of this chapter for further information.5.6.2 SETTING GROUPSPATH: SETTINGS ÖØ CONTROL ELEMENTS Ö SETTINGS GROUPSThe setting groups menu controls the activation/deactivation of up to six possible groups of settings in the GROUPED ELE-MENTS settings menu. The faceplate Settings In Use LEDs indicate which active group (with a non-flashing energized LED)is in service.The SETTING GROUPS BLK setting prevents the active setting group from changing when the FlexLogic™ parameter is set to"On". This can be useful in applications where it is undesirable to change the settings under certain conditions, such as thebreaker being open.The GROUP 2 ACTIVATE ON to GROUP 6 ACTIVATE ON settings select a FlexLogic™ operand which, when set, will make theparticular setting group active for use by any grouped element. A priority scheme ensures that only one group is active at agiven time – the highest-numbered group which is activated by its ACTIVATE ON parameter takes priority over the lower-numbered groups. There is no activate on setting for group 1 (the default active group), because group 1 automaticallybecomes active if no other group is active.The SETTING GROUP 1 NAME to SETTING GROUP 6 NAME settings allows to user to assign a name to each of the six settingsgroups. Once programmed, this name will appear on the second line of the GROUPED ELEMENTS Ö SETTING GROUP 1(6)menu display.The relay can be set up via a FlexLogic™ equation to receive requests to activate or de-activate a particular non-defaultsettings group. The following FlexLogic™ equation (see the figure below) illustrates requests via remote communications(for example, VIRTUAL INPUT 1 ON ) or from a local contact input (for example, CONTACT IP 1 ON) to initiate the use of a par-ticular settings group, and requests from several overcurrent pickup measuring elements to inhibit the use of the particularsettings group. The assigned VIRTUAL OUTPUT 1 operand is used to control the “On” state of a particular settings group.
