CAPM4/5 Software Installation

1.1. Purpose

The following procedure explains how to install the latest revision software over anexisting version of CAPM4/5 software, whilst retaining all previous control andprotection settings.

! It may also be used to reconfigure the switchgear after a CAPM card has beenreplaced.

1.2. Safety

1.2.1. Compatibility of Software and WSOS

Each software version release is supported by a Windows Switchgear OperatingSystem update.

Any attempt to load a recent software release using a superseded version of WSOSmay result in incorrect file transfer or an inability to communicate with the switchgear.

Always ensure that you have the latest release WSOS and that it is compatible withthe release version of software being installed.

Download from www.nulec.com.au

1.2.2. Isolation of TRIP and CLOSE solenoids

The solenoids must be isolated, when prompted, before the software file transfer iscommenced.

Ensure that the solenoids are not enabled until after the Event Log has beenchecked for pickup events.

Enabling the solenoids before confirming that a pickup event has not been generatedmay result in incorrect or hazardous switchgear function.

VV = software version number

RR = software release number

X = A (All) = R (Range) = S (Specified List)

Note that single character spaces must exist after:

! the last character in the DOS command,

cap5load -1 -force -debug CCCCCHVV.RRX (software file name)

The additional command "-debug" causes a communications log of transactionsbetween the CAPM and the PC to be saved to disk The log file is automaticallysaved to the source folder that the software was loaded from as "debug.tmp".

Once saved, the file may be forwarded by e-mail or other means:

! Be aware that the actual file size may increase up to 13MB.

! If forwarded by e-mail, it is recommended that the file be compressed usingWinZip which will reduce the file size to a maximum size of 1.3MB.
