How to generate an aqs file
In general it is recommended to use the aqs
file loaded from the relay. But in case you have not yet received the ordered
relay and need to make protection configuration or want to get familiar with a
particular IED type and its functions it is possible to generate a
configuration file yourself by following these instructions.
Instructions
to generate aqs-file
To generate a configuration file you will
need AQtivate setting tool and a firmware file provided by Arcteq
Relays. If you don’t yet have a firmware file please contact as trough helpdesk ticket and it will be
provided to you.
Start the process by starting up AQtivate
setting tool and navigating to Tools à Misc à Aqs
generator.
Then choose the provided firmware file,
pick a destination for the generated file and finally choose the device type
desired.
Limitations
of aqs generator
AQS generator can generate files of all the
available device type but only with digital input, digital output and arc
protection cards. If an aqs file for IED type with any other cards (RTD&mA
input, Serial RS232 etc.) is needed please contact us trough making a ticket to helpdesk.
There are some limitations with the
generated an aqs file. The following features are not included when aqs file is
generated.
· Mimic and carousel design
· Communication protocol files
(IEC61850 .cid file, Modbus map, IEC103 map, DNP map, SPA map)
