Hardware2.2.
Protection System Simulator SIM600 is a microprocessor-based device that can be used
as a stand-alone device or connected to a PC. It can be configured in any way required.
Protection System Simulator SIM600 consists of a central unit, housed in a metallic case.
The central unit contains a USB-connection to a PC, eight pushbuttons, and 16 LED
indicators. For more information on connectors for SIM600, see 4.3, Configuring the
connectors.
SIM600 Editor2.3.
SIM600 Editor is used for configuring Protection System Simulator SIM600 for the
required task. SIM600 Editor is not mandatory for the operation of SIM600, if the required
configuration is already available.
SIM600 Editor has two views, the GUI Editor and the IO Editor view.
GUI Editor
GUI Editor is used for drawing the user interface that includes all the functional objects
required by the application. The objects available are shown in the GUI Tools window
11
Protection System Simulator SIM600
1MRS756102

on the right of the GUI Editor view. Objects can be added to the workspace and they
can be freely moved within the area.
IO Editor
IO Editor is used to connect the objects displayed in the user interface and to specify the
necessary operation for SIM600. The workspace of IO Editor contains a list of input and
output signals of SIM600. The IO Tools window on the right of IO Editor view contains
logic symbols. Logic symbols are used in the same way as the objects in GUI Editor,
that is, they can be added to the workspace as required.
For information on installing SIM600 Editor, see 3.2, Installing SIM600 Editor and
SIM600 Runtime
SIM600 Runtime2.4.
SIM600 Runtime is used as the user interface of Protection System Simulator SIM600,
especially if the eight pushbuttons and the 16 LEDs are not sufficient for the required
functions. The configuration created with SIM600 Editor is loaded into Protection System
Simulator SIM600 via SIM600 Runtime.

Connecting SIM600 to IED4.
Connecting binary I/O cables4.1.
Two binary I/O cables are delivered with the SIM600. These cables transfer binary data
to and from the protection and control IED.
Each cable has three sets of plugs:
•four 3-pin plugs (X1 to X4) or digital outputs (DO) that transfer signals from SIM600
to the IED
•two 4-pin plugs (X5 and X6) or digital inputs (DI) that transfer signals from the IED
to SIM600 and circuit breaker and disconnector trip signals (specifically designed
for connection to the High-Speed Power Outputs (HSPO) or the power outputs (PO)
of the IED)
•six 2-pin plugs (X7 to X12) or digital inputs (DI) that transfer signals from the IED
to SIM600.
Connect the cables to the connectors labelled DIGITAL I/O 1 and DIGITAL I/O 2 on
the side panel of SIM600 Protection System Simulator. Connect the 3-pin connectors to
the IED binary inputs and the 4- and 2-pin connectors to the binary (signal) outputs of
the IED.

The digital I/O requires an IED with a low-voltage power supply (48 Vdc) to ensure
proper function. The digital outputs of SIM600 output a maximum of 48Vdc when in
a logical 1 (TRUE) state. The digital inputs of SIM600 are optically isolated and accept
amaximum of 60Vdc.A voltagebetween 0…8Vdcis interpreted as a logical 0 (FALSE)
state, while a voltage in the range of 24...60Vdc is interpreted as a logical 1 (TRUE)
state.

Connecting analogue output cables4.2.
Ten analogue output (AO) cables are delivered with SIM600.
Connect the cables to the connectors labelledAO1 toAO10 on the side panel of Protection
System Simulator SIM600 and to the current or voltage sensors of the IED. If there are
no current or voltage sensors in the IED, theAO cables have to be connected to the
measurement transformers of the IED via a suitable voltage and/or current amplifiers.

Figure 4.2-2 Analogue output connectors
Analog mA outputs
SIM600 is equipped with two constant current outputs, that can be set in the range of 0-
25 mA. The outputs are labeled “DCO1” and “DCO2” in SIM600 Editor. The constant
current outputs can be used for simulation of thermal measurements.
The outputs are located in a 6-pin connector next to the power supply connector of
SIM600, and are labeled “AO11” and “AO12”. The DCO1 configuration component
corresponds to AO11, while DCO2 corresponds toAO12. The brown wire of the con-
nector is the current output (positive terminal), while the white wire is the return path
of the current (negative terminal).

The binary I/O connectors are represented in the IO Editor by components labelled REL
and DI.
The 16 REL components correspond to the digital output connectors that transfer data
to the IED, see Table 4.3-1.
