1. Introduction
The PC interface software RSM100 allows users to access Toshiba G-series relays from a local or
remote personal computer (PC) to view the active data or data stored in the relay, to analyze the
data, and to change the settings.
The RSM100 supports the following functions:
•Viewing and analyzing records
Event, fault and disturbance records stored in the relay can be extracted and sequentially (in the
order of occurrence) displayed. They can be stored in the PC and printed out. Waveform data
in the disturbance record can be displayed, edited, measured and analyzed in detail.
•Viewing active statuses
Power system quantities measured by the relay, status of binary inputs, binary outputs and
measuring elements of the relay are retrieved and displayed.
•Viewing and changing settings
Setting data in the relay can be extracted and displayed. They can be edited on-line or off-line
and transferred to the relay to change the settings.
•Supporting test
The switches can be set to block automatic monitoring or to enable testing using a single
voltage source. Settings required to test measuring elements and timers can be set. Automatic
testing can be started manually.
•Executing other tools
PLC editor tool and MIMIC editor tool, if provided, are included in RSM100. These are
optional tools for some of relay model.
This manual describes the interface between the RSM100 software and the PC on which the
software runs, and the procedures for using the above-mentioned functions. When troubling, see
the Appendix C.
CAUTION
If the version of the RSM100 software is older than that of the relay, a function may not be
supported. In that case, install the new version of the RSM100 software. For installing the
software, see Section 3.
Do not input any data from the relay front panel when connecting the relay to the RSM100.
If a setting change or a record clear by operation from the relay front panel is performed
when connecting the relay to the RSM100, it may cause a discord or discrepancy between
the indication of the front panel and that of the RSM100.

Be sure to set the following initial settings by inputting AT commands to modems by using
communication software (ex. Standard Windows software “Hyper Terminal”) before connecting
them.
Note: Please refer to the manual of your modem before inputting AT commands because AT
commands vary depending on modems by manufacturers and types.
Setting a modem closer to the relay
1. Connect the PC and a modem with an RS232C straight cable.
2. Prepare to connect to a modem by using communication software (ex. “Hyper Terminal” of
Windows) Note that connection speed should be the same as the one mentioned later.
3. Input AT commands to satisfy the following conditions. (Refer to the manual of your modem
when inputting actual AT commands, since the formats shown in parentheses are EXAMPLES.)
- Load factory configuration. (AT&F0 or AT&F)
- Select profile 0 to be loaded on power-up. (AT&Y0)
Note : unnecessary if your modem has only one save profile.
- Ignore DTR. (AT&D0)

2.8 Menu Items
The RSM100 software can operate either on-line (i.e. communicating with a relay) or off-line.
The RSM100 software has six menus named Record, Status, Setting, Test, PLC tool and
MIMIC tool. The PLC tool and MIMIC tool are applied to some of relay model.
The Record menu enables the fault, event and disturbance records stored in the relay to be viewed.
The Status menu enables the power system quantities and the status of binary inputs, binary
outputs and measuring elements to be viewed.
The Setting menu enables the settings to be viewed or changed.
The Test menu is used to perform commissioning tests or maintenance tests.
The PLC tool is software used to edit PLC (Programmable Logic Control) function.
The MIMIC tool is software used to edit MIMIC configuration picture.
In the on-line operation, all the menus are accessible but in the off-line operation, the Status menu
and Test menu are inaccessible. In case of remote connection (including Ethernet LAN), however,
Test menu are inaccessible.
Appendix A shows the hierarchy of menu items.
Note: The operation procedure of Waveform data analysis in the Record menu is detailed in
Appendix B.
Note: If “Decimal symbol” of “Regional and language options” in “Control panel” is set to “,”
(Comma), the decimal symbol of electric quantities, numerical values and setting values on
Record, Status and Setting screens is expressed by comma (,). However, a numerical value
for selection item is expressed by period (.) because it is dealt with a character.

3. Installing RSM100 Software
The install method of RSM100 software is depending on its software version. The RSM100
software version is labeled on the CD-ROM.
Note: Install the RSM100 by right of administrator.
When installing the RSM100 software on a PC, the operating system Microsoft Windows NT®,
Windows®2000, Windows®XP, or Windows®Vista must already have been installed. These
operating systems must be also English version.
Note: Must uninstall the RSM100 if the CD Version is not 11.00 or later.
Note: To install the RSM100 software requires Windows®Installer 2.0 or later.
If the installer is not included in the operating system of your PC, it will be automatically
installed. If the automatic install is blocked, install it manually from the web site of
Microsoft Corporation.
Installation
Take the following steps to install the RSM100 software using the setup program. The setup
program is delivered on a CD-ROM.
If you have previously installed an old version of RSM100 and are installing the new version, you
can overwrite the new version without uninstalling the old version.
Note: It is recommended to start to reinstall the new version after saving them in another folder
when there are some files made or saved by user in the folder of RSM100. In case of the
same name file, it is overwritten. In case of installation by overwriting, the folder or file
installed by the old version may remain.
Note: If the folder configuration is largely changed, the new version of RSM100 may not be
installed. Uninstall the old version in this case.
To install RSM100, do the followings:
•Close all the applications.
•Insert the CD-ROM into a CDROM drive. Then the RSM100 setup program starts
automatically and the window below pops up. If the window does not appear automatically,
execute “\RSM100\setup.exe” in the CD-ROM.

⎯14 ⎯
6 F 2 S 0 7 1 5
Note: In Windows®Vista, if UAC (User Account Control) is effective, select the “Allow”
in the following screen.
•Click the “Next” button.
•Operate it according to the command of installer.
Note: In Windows®Vista, if the folder to install is changed, refer to the “Cautions when
changing the folder to install in Windows®Vista”.
•When the message “InstallShield Wizard completed.” appears, the installation has been
completed. Though it may take some time for the renewal of the screen, wait for appearing the
message.
When installation has been completed, the RSM100 files will be registered in the start menu. Click
[start] – [Programs] – [TOSHIBA P&C] – [RSM100] – [RSM100] to start the RSM100 software.

Uninstallation
To uninstall RSM100, do the followings:

⎯15 ⎯
6 F 2 S 0 7 1 5
•Close all the applications.
<In case of uninstallation except for Windows®Vista>;
•Double-click the “Add/Remove Programs” in “Control Panel”.
•Select the “Install/Uninstall” tab, and select “RSM100” in the menu.
•Click “Add/Remove”.
<In case of uninstallation for Windows®Vista>;
•Double-click the “Program and Features” in “Control Panel”.
•Select “RSM100” in the menu.
•Click “Uninstall”.
•The following screen appears. Click the “Next” button.
Note: In Windows®Vista, if UAC (User Account Control) is effective, the confirmation
screen appears same as the installation. Select the “Allow”.
•When the uninstall screen disappears automatically, the uninstallation has been completed.
Note: The file, which is installed manually, cannot be uninstalled.
Cautions: when changing the installing folder in Windows®Vista
When changing the installing folder into Program files (ex. C:\Program files) under the initializing
drive, the following phenomenon may occur. Though the phenomenon may also occur in Widows
folder (ex. C:\Windows) and ProgramData folder (ex. C:\ProgramData), it is strongly
recommended that RSM100 should not be installed in these folder.
(1)
<Phenomenon>: By changing the UAC (User Account Control), a different preference setting is
used.
Example: After changing the communication setting such as communication speed under the
UAC in effect, the communication speed resets the default setting if set the UAC
invalid and start RSM100.
<Cause>: When the UAC is effective, the preference setting file used for RSM100 is redirected to
a virtual folder. When the UAC is invalid, it may become a different preference setting
because the original file is used.
The previous preference setting may remain after reinstall because no file of the virtual
folder is removed when uninstalling.
<Countermeasure>: Change the installing folder, or no change the UAC.
(2)
<Phenomenon>: By changing the UAC, the file is saved into a different folder.
Example: Though the setting data is saved under the UAC in effect, the file is not found in the

⎯16 ⎯
6 F 2 S 0 7 1 5
saved folder. Or, the setting data is different the data saved under the UAC invalid.
<Cause>: In default, the saving folder exits in an installing folder. Therefore, the file to save is
redirected to a virtual folder and is not saved the folder to install as result. Different
phenomenon may occur when the UAC is effective, because the file is directly saved to
the folder to install when the UAC is invalid.
If the file is not found when the UAC is effective, display the redirect place by the following
method:
(Install folder)
(Virtual folder)
The folder of the redirect place is displayed.
<Countermeasure>: Change the saving folder to user’s individual folder such as “My document”
etc.
Click this button.

case of the direct connection, select [RS-232C], and then set the communication port of your
computer by selecting [Connect using] and communication speed of its serial port by [Baud rate].
Note that this setting of [Baud rate] and the one of your relay should be the same speed. (Relay
setting: “4. Setting(change)” →“3. Comm.” →“2. Switch” →“232C”) If the settings of
communication speed are not same, the message “Check connection and communication speed. If
you click the “Retry”, RSM100 communicates with the relay using current communication speed
of RSM100.” appears.
If the message above appears, check the followings:
•Check that the communication speed settings of the relay and RSM100 are same.
•Check that DC supply for the relay is ON.
•Check that the connector for RS232C cable is tightly inserted. If the message still appears,
try to replace the cable.
Note: When the transmission speed is set at high speeds, in some environment, it is difficult
to connect. If errors occur frequently, connect at lower speeds. (Advisory speed
9600bps)
