To close the Fault Record tool, click the Close button in the tool.
The Fault Record tool runs in the same process as PCM600 but in a separate window. Multiple instances of the tool can be run at the same time. Any open tool instances are closed without confirmation when PCM600 is closed.
The Fault Record tool is a connectivity package tool. The main functionality is divided into three parts: reading the fault record parameters from the protection relay, displaying their names, values and units on the user interface and saving them to a text file. It is also possible to clear all the fault records from both the tool and the protection relay and copy the fault records either individually or all at once to a word processor.
