1 General Information
The Siemens 7SJ53x XRIO converter is designed for testing Siemens 7SJ53x V3.4 overcurrent protection
relays (with preset language: German) by using the OMICRON Test Universe 2.20 software. The
converter provides all necessary data for testing the overcurrent protection functions (see section 2 ) of
the 7SJ53x relays. The converter is tested with the following relay:
Manufacturer: Siemens
MLFB: 7SJ532114EA000CA0
Firmware Version: V 3.1

Note: This converter is tested with the relay described above, but it is built for 7SJ53x V3.4 relays. Any
ways of importing the relay settings into the XRIO converter will only work with settings from 7SJ53x V3.4
relays with the new scope of functions - MLFB 7SJ53******2****, because e.g. relays with the firmware
version V3.1 or with the old scope of functions have different block and parameter IDs for the different
protection functions.

2 Quick Start Information

To work with the Siemens 7SJ53x XRIO converter:
1. Start a new OMICRON Control Center (OCC) document or open an existing OCC document.
2. Insert a new test object or open the existing test object.
3. On the File menu, click Import.
4. Browse to the 7SJ53x.xrio file.
5. Click Open.
6. Enter all necessary settings in the Relay Parameter and Additional Information – CT's/VT's
section (see section 9.1 ).
7. Insert "+inf" (infinity) to disable settings/functions, if necessary.
8. Click OK.

3 Using the Converter

The Siemens 7SJ53x XRIO converter can be used as a stand-alone converter or in association with a
relay specific test template, for example with the OMICRON Overcurrent template for the 7SJ53x relay.
In any way the converter is used, follow the quick start instructions and create your test by using
LinkToXRIO or start using the relay specific test template (for more information, see the test template
documentation). See section 9.2 - 9.4 for more information about using the XRIO converter with the
OMICRON overcurrent test module.

4 Required Software Version

To use this converter, you must have a valid license for the OMICRON Test Universe 2.20 software.

5 Functional Range
The Siemens 7SJ53x XRIO converter implements the following functions:
• 50/51 overcurrent protection
• 67/67-TOC overcurrent protection
• (High sensitive) ground fault protection
• 49 Thermal overload protection

Figure 2: Functional range of the Siemens 7SJ53x XRIO converter

For some of the functions listed above use the RIO interface of the Test Universe software. Consequently,
the test modules are configured automatically without using LinkToXRIO.
The following functions are using the RIO interface:
• 50/51 overcurrent [trip times]
• 67/67-TOC overcurrent [trip times]
• 49 Thermal overload [trip and warning]

For testing the other functions, you must use LinkToXRIO.

The following functions are currently not supported in RioPlus and Rio:
• Circuit breaker failure protection
• Unbalanced load protection
• Voltage protection
• Start-up time monitoring for motors
• Restart lockout for motors
• Auto-reclosure protection

7 OMICRON Test Strategy

The OMICRON test strategy is described in the OMICRON Protection Test Template (PTT) Overcurrent
documentation. For detailed information, see the PTT Overcurrent documentation.

8 Relay Settings Import

Relay settings can be imported in .asc format (DIGSI V3 Export). Select the Filter for Siemens DigsiV3
.asc Settings and open the settings file to import the relay settings into the XRIO-converter.

Figure 3: Filter for Siemens DigsiV3 .asc Setting

After the relay settings have been imported successfully, a message box showing the number of imported
parameters appears.

Additionally, the imported parameters are shown as information in the Error View of the Test Object.
When the import of a parameter fails, it gets shown as an error or warning in the Error View.

Figure 5: Error View with information about imported parameters

9 Converter Structure
The converter is divided into two sections: the 7SJ53x section and the RIO section. Both sections consist
of several function blocks. The converter comes up in standard view; the RIOplus section and the
template controller section only be seen in advanced view.

9.1 7SJ53x Section

The Relay Parameter section includes parameters which can be changed by the user. All relay
parameters are included in this section and can be set to the actual relay values.

9.1.1 Relay Parameter Block

In this block, setting parameters are included. The parameters are grouped and named as in the Siemens
DIGSI software. Each parameter in this block can be identified by a Foreign ID, which is identical to the
parameter ID in DIGSI.

Figure 6: Setting the parameters in the Relay Parameter section

9.1.1.1 Additional Information

This block has been added for relay specific parameters such as tolerances or angles of directional
elements which cannot be set by the user, because they are constant values. All values set in this block
can be found in the chapter "Technical Data" of the relay's documentation. Typically, these blocks do not
have to be changed (except the General Information and Circuit Breaker Information block), as they are
already set to the values given in the user manual of the relay.

Figure 7: Setting general information

The General Information block contains the parameters which are important for the test report, e.g.
information about the substation and the feeder. Furthermore it contains power system parameters which
are important for the test modules. These parameters are linked to the device part of the RIO section and
are available in the test report.

9.1.2 RIOPlus (Advanced view)

The RIOplus block contains the interface, which provides the link between the XRIO converter and all test
modules which have no access to RIO functions. All tests using basic test modules like Ramping or State
Sequencer have to be linked to the parameters in the RIOplus section of the converter.

9.1.2.1 Nameplate
The NamePlate block contains all necessary information to identify the protection device to be tested. This
block contains the relay vendor, serial number, model, the relay location and a description.

9.1.2.2 Power System Parameters

The number of phases, phase rotation and the nominal frequency are stored in this block.

9.1.2.3 Overcurrent Time Protection LL

This block contains all necessary data to test the phase-phase overcurrent protection. The nominal values
and CT / VT settings, used by this protection function, can be found here. All stages of the phase-phase
overcurrent protection function in the relay are modeled as sub blocks of the overcurrent protection
phase-phase block. Each stage sub block stores information about the directional element, pickup value,
operating time, pickup-drop off ratio and the curve type of the modeled overcurrent stage.

Note: The curve type "User defines characteristic" is currently not supported.

9.1.2.4 Overcurrent Time Protection LN

This block contains all necessary data to test the phase-ground overcurrent protection. The nominal
values and CT / VT settings used by this protection function can be found here. All stages of the phase-
ground overcurrent protection function in the relay are modeled as sub blocks of the overcurrent
protection phase-ground block. Each stage sub block stores information about the directional element,
pickup value, operating time, pickup-drop off ratio and the curve type of the modeled overcurrent stage.

Note: The curve type "User defines characteristic" is currently not supported.

9.1.2.5 Sensitive Directional Earth Fault Protection

This block contains all necessary data to test the sensitive ground fault protection. The nominal values
and CT / VT settings used by this protection function can be found here. The measurement method, the
current phase angle correction, the current and the voltage stages are modeled in this block.

9.1.2.6 Thermal Overload Protection

This block contains all necessary data to test the thermal overload protection. The nominal values and
CT / VT settings used by this protection function can be found here. The thermal overload stages are
modeled in this block.

9.1.3 Template Controller (Advanced view)

The Helper Parameters block contains special values which are needed for some tests, especially for
tests by using LinkToXRIO. These are mainly calculated values which cannot be calculated by using
LinkToXRIO and therefore have to be stored in this section. Other values needed for customer designed
tests can be stored in this block.

9.1.3.1 Circuit Breaker

The circuit breaker block contains all necessary data for testing protection functions together with the
circuit breaker. The modeled parameters are 52abPercentage, CloseTime, Forced3PoleOperatingTime,
SinglePoleTripping and TripTime.

9.2 RIO
The RIO section of the converter contains all specialized RIO functions which are needed to use the more
specialized test modules (like Advanced Distance or Overcurrent) provided by the OMICRON Test
Universe software.

Warning: Do not change any values in this section. The values have been set using the relay settings of
the Relay Parameter section.

Note: Do not activate the former test object view in the advanced mode of the XRIO test object. Changing
parameters in this view could disable formulas in the RIO section.

9.2.1 (Directional) DMT/IDMT Overcurrent

This RIO overcurrent function provides the necessary values for testing the overcurrent protection
functions of the 7SJ53x relay with the Test Universe Overcurrent test module. The protection functions
supported by this RIO function include:
• DMT / IDMT Phase/Ground overcurrent
• DMT / IDMT Directional phase/ground overcurrent

The following RIO functions for testing these overcurrent protection functions are available:
• Overcurrent Forward
• Overcurrent Reverse

The Siemens 7SJ53x XRIO converter constructs a resulting characteristic curve for each direction of the
overcurrent elements. This means that directional and non-directional stages are compared for forward
and reverse direction. The three stages with the smallest pickup values are combined and the resulting
characteristic curve is shown in the RIO overcurrent function block.

9.2.2 Thermal Overload

The following RIO overcurrent function for testing the thermal overload trip time with Test Universe is
implemented in the RIO block of the Siemens 7SJ53x XRIO converter:
• Thermal overload

This module contains the thermal overload trip time characteristic curve.

9.3 Activating the RIO functions

The RIO functions have to be set to active manually in each Overcurrent test module and in each Thermal
overload test module, if the converter is used in the stand-alone mode. Activate the corresponding RIO
function you intend to use in the local test object as shown in Figure 8.

Figure 8: Activating a RIO function

9.4 Specific Features

This section deals with special requirements of some of the converter functions. Functions not listed here
have no known limitations to their functionalities.

9.5 Handling the Infinity Value

The infinity value has to be set to +inf in the 7SJ53x section of the converter. It is used in the same way
as the "∞" setting in the DIGSI software. Consequently, the protection functions, which are disabled by
setting them to infinity in DIGSI, behave the same way in the converter.
