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.

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

1. Acknowledge welcome page2. Accept license agreements3. Select the program path, where the files should be installed

4. Select the program group of RTUtil NT5. 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 assignmentsThe 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 6-38

ABB OyPSS/SASRTU560


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.

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 10-38

ABB OyPSS/SASRTU560


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

ABB Oy 11-38

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 12-38

ABB OyPSS/SASRTU560


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.
