SLD editors are used to create single-line diagrams. In SLD editors, bus bars, symbols and text can be added from the object type window and links can be created between symbols. Graphical Display Editor has two separate editors.
- SLD Editor is used to draw single-line diagrams that are used on the normal HMI pages.
- Switchgear HMI SLD Editor is used to draw a single-line diagram that is used on the bay overview area of the SHMI.
Once the symbols are placed on the SLD page, they must be linked in Application Configuration to the corresponding function block that protects or controls the object represented by the symbol. The values are updated by the protection relay either periodically (measurement) or in case of an event.
Single-line diagrams support both ANSI and IEC standards. Single-line diagrams created in ANSI can be changed to IEC and vice versa by changing the symbol standard in PCM600. Custom symbols can be used in both ANSI and IEC standards. In the object type window, symbols are grouped by their category.
The single-line diagram created in SLD Editor can be used on the main pages with a special widget called SLDViewPort. The widget is available under the Container group and its page property populates the list of SLD pages. The single-line diagram size can be selected from the Object Properties pane. In ViewPort the single-line diagram can be zoomed and paned on the LHMI.
All SLD pages are shown at the bottom of SLD Editor. When a page is clicked, it opens in SLD Editor. New SLD pages can be added by clicking the Add Page button. To remove an SLD page, right-click the SLD page and select the Remove Page option in the context menu.
SLD Page Editor is used for various tasks.
- Adding static text
- Adding measurands
- Adding bus bars
- Adding symbols to the display page
- Drawing lines (creating links)
