Option

Description

Save Comtrade Files

Indicates whether this Driver must perform a search for files in COMTRADE format, saving them on the directory indicated in the Comtrade Path option

Define Parameters per IED

Indicates whether the parameters Save Comtrade Files, Delete Files after Upload, Browse Root Folder Only, Comtrade Path, Use Fixed Comtrade Path on Device, Name+Index File Transfer, and File Root Name are defined per IED and not globally for the whole Driver. The individual definition can be performed by writing this Driver's internal parameters via IOKit, as explained on topic Dynamic Configuration

Delete Files After Upload

Instructs this Driver to delete a device's file after successfully finishing the transfer

Browse Root Folder Only

Some relays insert COMTRADE files on a COMTRADE folder from the root folder, and other relays insert these files on the root folder, indicating as part of the file name that folder, such as "\COMTRADE\File.cfg". Select this option for devices with that last behavior

Wait for Write of LastComtradeFileTime

With this option selected, this Driver waits for a writing operation with the time of the last transferred COMTRADE file, per IED, so that it can compare this time with the list of existing files on the IED, thus defining which file to transfer

Save/Get Last Comtrade time from File

Gets the time of the last COMTRADE file transferred using a COMTRADE.LST file

Max Time Waiting after Startup

Indicates how many seconds this Driver must wait for the writing of the Tag with the time of the last file, or for the reading of the COMTRADE.LST file. If this time expires, this Driver starts searching for the first available file. If this option is equal to 0 (zero), it waits indefinitely

Comtrade Directory Check Interval

Interval, in seconds, in which this Driver requests a list of files from a device. This Driver compares the date of the last transferred file with the files on the list, and the most recent file or files are transferred

Comtrade Upload Interval (s)

In case of transferring more than one file, this Driver waits the time defined in this option to perform each transfer, to separate a specific time window for this activity. However, receiving events and sending commands are not interrupted while transferring a file

Comtrade Path

Indicates a directory where this Driver saves COMTRADE files

Name+Index File Transfer

Informs the file transfer is performed based on a root name plus an index, instead of comparing dates, which is the default behavior. The root name must be informed in the File Root Name option. For example, if an IED generates files in the format Osc1.dat/cfg, Osc2.dat/cfg, and so on, users must select this option and inform the text "Osc" in the File Root Name option

Fixed Comtrade Path on Device

Indicates that this Driver must ignore a search for the COMTRADE folder on a device, assuming a fixed folder informed in the corresponding field
