1 Introduction

This brief description does not replace the standard 560RTUtil NT User’s Guide and

RTU560 Web Servers User’s Guide” For details please refer to the manuals mentioned

This description is made to show, how to change or add an item to an existing configuration

in the RTU, in case the user has not been working with the tool for a while, or to help a

newcomer to get easily started with the 560RTUtil NT

This brief description handles:

• Installation

The description for this installation procedure is complete different from the installation

procedure described in the Users’Guide This way of installation is mainly based on field

experience

• Excel import

This Excel import procedure shows each step that has to be done if a change the RTU

configuration is required The precondition is, that this steps have been carried out

before This is the standard case when the RTU is delivered from the factory with the

appropriate configuration files and the customer make changes for example during

commissioning

This guide advises you to keep the actual files which are in use in the RTU as

backup If everything goes wrong during Excel-import, you will still have the

healthy GCD, IOD and PTX file which can be loaded to the RTU

This steps seem more complicate as they really are It is a matter of practice The main

goal for Excel import is, if you have a large amaount of I/O’s or IDE’s The Excel-import

helps to keep track of the parameters used in the RTU

The output of this Excel-import chapter are the RTU-Files The GCD-, IOD- and the PTX

File will be loaded to the CPU with the WEB Server Tool

2 Installation

RTUtil NT is distributed as CD-ROM and is developed for the Windows NT 4.0 operating

system

Copy the packed file ”RTUtilNT_xx_xx_xxx_00.exe” into a directory with the release name

Wbtr xxx and unpack the file into the same directory This will create the sub-directory Disk1

with additional subdirectories as shown below

Keep this directory for future use, for example when you have to re-install the RTUtil NT

Double-click Setup.exe in the directory Disk1 The installation Process guides you through the

installation process

ABB Oy 5-37

Follow the steps from the installation program and click through the following dialog sheets:

1 Acknowledge welcome page

2 Accept license agreements

3 Select the program path, where the files should be installed

4 Select the program group of RTUtil NT

5 Restart your computer

If you are working with different RTUtil NT releases as in the picture above, create your

”Release specific directory” and name it accordingly Keep your projects in the appropriate

release directories If upgrade is required to the next higher release, please ask your supplier

for support

If you currently are working with release 6 and you need to edit a project made with

release 5, just re-install RTUtil NT release 5 over the already existing directory from

release 5 This will not affect the project files, but will set registry to keep track of

internal paths

3 Excel import

3.1 Precondition

RTUtil NT is installed and at least the Pattern and the Excel file(s) exist in the appropriate

directory

The Pattern file contains:

• Complete Network Tree

(Including all links to the Hardware Tree)

• The Hardware Tree down to RTU560 board level

(Without I/O signal definitions and assignments The Excel file(s) contains:

• Project Signal Tree

(Signal names structured according to the project settings of the project pattern)

• The data object’s hardware assignment to RTU I/O points

• Data object parameters and addresses The Pattern file and the Excel sheet will be merged into the RTU File!

3.2 Edit the Excel file

Open directory ”xls_import” under your current release ant open your project directory

ABB Oy 7-37

Make a copy of the ”ACTIVE xls” file, change the date and remove the ACTIVE from the old

version to keep track of history

Open the Excel file and select the sheet in question

For example change input range from 20 mA to 5 mA

Save the changes and close the file

3.3 Edit the Pattern file

Open directory ”pattern” under your current release and open your project directory

Make a copy of the ”ACTIVE TU” file, change the date and remove the ACTIVE from the old

version to keep track of history

ABB Oy 9-37

Start RTUtil from your work-directory or create a shortcut on your desktop or

Start RTUtil via Windows ”Start / Programs / RTUtil NT/ RTUtil NT

RTUtil NT workspace offers to setup a new project As we are editing an already existing

Project press Cancel!

Select ”Open” (existing pattern)

ABB Oy 11-37

Your project specific pattern file with ”View Network Tree” is now open

In the pattern directory select your project

directory

Now select your ACTIVE pattern file and select Open

RTUtil NT offers you as default the project

directory Go one level higher by pressing

this button

Now select the pattern directory

Check that your pattern file does not contain any signals in the ”View Signal Tree”

Check that your pattern file does not contain any signals in the ”View Signal Tree”

ABB Oy 13-37

Check so that your pattern file does not contain any signals in the ”View Hardware Tree”

Note:

If there are already any signals in the ”View Signal Tree” or in the ”View Hardware Tree”

They must be deleted, otherwise due to ”additive” import will signals will be doubled, and will

cause an error message for each duplicated signals during RTU file generation

3.4 Start Excel Import

From the menu Extra select Excel Import

As the pattern file is already open, RTUtil NT suggests the open file as pattern file Accept

with Next

Check that path and filename of the excel file is correct! Then select next!

Select your project directory! Select the ACTIVE Excel file of the project

to be imported and continue with Select

ABB Oy 17-37

Now as the Excel file is selected, you have to define the sheet(s) within the excel file to be

imported (The sheet for an IEC 870-5-103 Sub-Dev.Line is currently not used in this example

Otherwise this sheet would have to be selected too.)

With the ” > ” or ” < ” button one single file is selected or deselected

With the ” >> ” or ” << ” button all existing files are selected or deselected

Select the Local IO sheet

Continue with Next!

Before the actual import RTUtil NT shows the selected files involved in the import procedure

Scroll the window if necessary Continue with Start!

The Excel file is automatically opened for the import procedure A log file with the extension

log and an error file with the extension err are generated during this phase If warnings or

errors appear during this phase, the cells in the Excel file will be marked yellow for warnings

and red for errors

ABB Oy 19-37

Import has finished with 0 error(s) and 0 warning(s) The RTU file contains now the imported

signals and must be saved Continue with Browse to check the file name and directory to

place the file

Select your project directory! For the first time, the directory is empty

Continue with Select The RTU file will have the same name as the pattern file, but stored under the ”proj” directory

Check that the path and filename of the project file is correct! Then select Finish!

Check that your project file does contain the imported signals in the ”View Signal Tree”

ABB Oy 21-37

Check that your project file does contain the imported signals in the ”View Hardware Tree”

3.5 Build RTU files

Select ”Project” and then ”Build RTU Files”

Accept your RTU ”RHK” (In standard projects is normally only one RTU available

Default name for the RTU file: ”RTU name.iod” Continue with Browse!

ABB Oy 23-37

Check that the path and filename of the RTU file is correct! Continue with Next!

Select your project directory! Name the RTU file for example RTU

name & build date This name can be seen on the CPU after down loading Continue with Select!

RTUtil NT prompts for Plausibility Check Continue with Plausibility

Ensure there are no Errors, Warnings or Information’s This requires that the RTU

configuration is build in a way that no plausibility messages is generated Continue with

Generate File!

ABB Oy 25-37

Finally RTUtil NT reports ”RTU files are generated” Continue with ”OK” The window will

close

Close the session with ”File” and ”Exit”

Check the generated files in the directory “rtufile”
