Major, Minor, and Logic programmable alarm settings drive BESTlogic variables ALMMAJ, ALMMIN, and
ALMLGC. These variables can be used in logic expressions to control logic when the alarm is active. For
example, these variables could be used to actuate an output relay to signal a SCADA RTU that an alarm
condition exists.
Hardware and Software Version
Hardware and software version reporting is used to determine what style chart selection are included in
the relay, the relay serial number and the version of the embedded software (firmware).
Style and serial number information is contained on the label on the front panel. Embedded software
information can be obtained at HMI Screen 4.6. The information of Screen 4.6 is also displayed briefly
when operating power is applied to the relay.
A software and hardware version report can be obtained through BESTCOMS. Alternately it can be
obtained using the RG-VER ASCII command.
To obtain the relay’s version report through BESTCOMS, select Download Settings from Device from the
Communications menu. Downloaded settings from the relay will overwrite any settings you have made in
BESTCOMS. The relay will ask you to save your current file before continuing the download.
To view the version of the relay after the download completes, select General Operation from the Screens
menu. Then select the General Information tab (see Figure 6-1). The General Information tab displays all
of the version information about the relay.
