Finally, click the button "OK" to finish creating MOT information of the device.
2. By MOT code

Date: 2020-07-29
If no specific firmware version is designated (as shown in the red box), when PCS-Torch creates
2 MOT configuration of the device, it will automatically search the latest archived firmware version
corresponding to main MOT version, and creates MOT configuration based on the latest archived
firmware version.
If a specific firmware version is designated (as shown in the red box), PCS-Torch will create MOT
configuration of the device according to the input firmware version automatically except that the
input firmware version is disabled or does not exist, and PCS-Torch will issue related prompt
message.
2.4 Project Management
PCS-Torch can export MOT information of the whole substation, and support copy, paste, rename
function under any node.
It should be noted that PCS-Torch can only manage one project

(substation), so the project's (substation) copy and paste needs to open
multiple instances of PCS-Torch.

Date: 2020-07-29
Right-click menu under the project (substation) node, and select the menu item "Export Station
Information", an excel file that includes MOT codes and boards configuration information of all
devices in the project will be generated, as shown below.
2.5 MOT Configuration Interface
In the MOT configuration interface, the integral ordering code is displayed at the top. The detailed
MOT information is shown in a row/column format. The first column indicates MOT item, the
second column indicates the board type corresponding to the option, the third column indicates
available options with the ordering code corresponding to each item, and the fourth column
indicates the description about the chosen option.
Double-click the cell in the "Option" column to switch the option from drop-down box. When the
contents of the cell in the "Option" column is changed, the corresponding contents of the
"Description" and "Board Type" columns in the same row are changed synchronously, and the
corresponding bit of ordering code is also changed synchronously. There is possibly a mandatory

Date: 2020-07-29
binding rule or mutual exclusion rule among MOT items. The option will be chosen fixedly if an
option's mandatory binding rule is activated. The option will be hidden if an option's mutual
exclusion rule is activated. For the option that cannot be selected, PCS-Torch sets the row as gray.
There is a corresponding relationship between MOT item and the ordering code. When one bit of
the ordering code is chosen, the corresponding MOT item will be highlighted. When one MOT item
is chosen, the corresponding bit of ordering code will be highlighted.

Date: 2020-07-29
Click the button "Default", all options will be chosen as default value directly. Click the button
"Import excel", an existing MOT file (*.xls or *.xlsx) can be directly imported into the
corresponding device type of PCS-Torch. Click the button "Import code", an existing MOT code
can be directly imported into the corresponding device type of PCS-Torch.
2.6 Ordering Code
The ordering code of a MOT consists of 9 parts, including:

2.8 MOT Library Management
The latest MOT library is included when PCS-Torch is released. The MOT library contains MOT
templates of each device, which are stored in the directory according to the device type. Each
directory contains all historical versions of the device for the MOT template. The path of MOT
library is "installation directory→PCS-Torch→motLib". There are two methods to upgrade the
MOT library.

Date: 2020-07-29
1. Update the MOT library online
Firstly, PCS-Torch reads a list of MOT templates for all devices from the server, and compares
them with local MOT library. The user can select the MOT template that needs to be updated, and
PCS-Torch downloads the corresponding MOT template file from the server.
2. Import the MOT library locally
It takes a long time to update the MOT library by connecting to the server, and the user can directly
import the latest MOT library if the network conditions are not good (The latest MOT template
library can be gained by mail firstly).
