Structure of the Test Dialog Box
In the column Indication the display texts of all indications are displayed which were allocated to the system
interface in the matrix. In the column SETPOINT Status the user has to define the value for the messages to
be tested. Depending on annunciation type, several input fields are offered (e.g. message „ON" / message
„OFF"). By clicking on one of the fields you can select the desired value from the pull-down menu.

Changing the Operating State
When clicking one of the buttons in the column Action for the first time, you will be prompted for the password
no. 6 (for hardware test menus). After correct entry of the password, individual annunciations can be initiated.
To do so, click on the button Send on the corresponding line. The corresponding message is issued and can
be read out either from the event log of the SIPROTEC 4 device or from the substation control system.
As long as the window is open, further tests can be performed.
Test in Message Direction
For all information that is transmitted to the central station, test the options in the list which appears in SET-
POINT Status:
• Make sure that each checking process is carried out carefully without causing any danger (see above and
refer to DANGER!)
• Click on Send in the function to be tested and check whether the transmitted information reaches the central
station and shows the desired reaction. Data which are normally linked via binary inputs (first character „>")
are likewise indicated to the central power system with this procedure. The function of the binary inputs itself
is tested separately.
Exiting the Test Mode
To end the System Interface Test, click on Close. The device is briefly out of service while the start-up routine
is executed. The dialog box closes.
