8 ISGS Wisdom Software
8.1 Overview
The ISGS relay is an extremely advanced protective relay for
medium voltage switchgear applications. In order to reduce
the complexity of configuring the relay, reading the metered
values, and retrieving stored data, Siemens developed ISGS
Wisdom software. Wisdom software is a Windows-based
tool that monitors and controls an ISGS relay. Wisdom soft-
ware provides a flexible, easy to use interface allowing the
performance of a wide variety of tasks such as
• remote configuration via network, local port, or modem
• offline configuration in DEMO mode
• configuration file storage
• custom curve creation
• display and retrieval of captured waveforms
• event log retrieval
• real-time data and status display

8.2 Setup
Using Wisdom software requires Microsoft ® Windows ® . To
make full use of the Waveform Capture display, a color moni-
tor is highly recommended. Setting up Wisdom software
requires two basic operations:
1. Installing the program on a PC
Wisdom software is provided on a floppy diskette. The
setup program on this diskette will install Wisdom soft-
ware on your hard drive and will create a Windows pro-
gram group icon.
2. Connecting the relay to the PC
For local connection of the PC, install an RS-232 inter-
face cable between the serial communications port on
the PC and the front port on the relay.
For remote connection of the PC, use an RS-232 to
RS-485 converter for direct connection and null-modem
connectors for modem use.
Wisdom software offers five main menus from which to
select the various tasks or operations to be performed and
one help menu.
8.3 Menus
In the main window, you can choose from the following main
menus: Relay, Breaker, Configure, View, Logs, and Help. The
Main Window also displays the Event Log which is automati-
cally updated (refer to Figure 8.1). The Event Log can be
saved or re-read. These commands can be found in the
Logs menu.
Relay Menu
From the Relay menu, you can connect or disconnect the
ISGS relay, save or load device data, select parameter sets,
and synchronize the internal time of your device with the time
of your computer.
Breaker Menu
From the Breaker menu, you can control breakers and reset
targets.
The Control submenu opens or closes the breaker and
asserts or releases the communication events. Refer to
Figure 8.2.
