SUBNET SEL Relay Data Emulator™ The SUBNET SEL Relay Data Emulator is an invaluable tool for assisting in the design, commissioning, or training of ANY integration solution using SEL Relays. SUBNET SEL Relay Data Emulator™ (SUBNET SELRDE) is a SUBNET software application that emulates the data communications of SEL relays. SUBNET SEL Relay Data Emulator assists you in configuring substation systems without having direct access to devices. Accessing live relay data isn’t always possible when configuring a new system, and when it is available, there is potential to disrupt systems. Bench testing systems using actual relays can be expensive, time-consuming and disruptive. SUBNET SEL Relay Data Emulator makes things simple by transforming a desktop or laptop computer into a machine capable of emulating a large range of Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories Inc. (SEL®) relays. SUBNET SEL Relay Data Emulator automatically collects data from physical IP or serial connected relays in minutes, saves the information and settings as a “virtual” relay, and enables you to test and configure while off-line in a safe and controlled environment. • Configure emulation for a wide range of SEL relays • Complete message logging useful for testing • Built in configuration wizard quickly emulates • Virtual relays great for demonstrations and training existing devices Making Substations More Intelligent® www.SUBNET.com SUBNET SEL Relay Data Emulator ™ Application Scenarios SUBNET SEL Relay Data Emulator Software Step 1: Diagram of typical SEL relay integration system showing single relay Learn and Emulate a SEL relay’s Communication Capabilities SUBNET SEL Relay Data EmulatorRelay Data Software Master Concentrator SEL Relay Step 1: Diagram of typical SEL relay integration system showing single relay Step 2: Connect SUBNET SEL Relay Data Emulator software to a SEL relay and auto-configure SUBNET SEL Relay Data Emulator Software Computer running (SUBNET SELRDE Software) can automatically SUBNET SELRDE Relay Data Master learn a SEL relay’s communication capabilities.

Facilitate SEL Master System Training SUBNET SEL Relay Data Emulator training configuration More Effective Interactive Personnel Training with LIVE relay Student master stations or other training SEL 1102 or 3354 environment running SUBNET SELRDE communications stations. Hands-on-interaction is invaluable for effective training. However, it can be either SEL 1102 or 3354 costly or logistically difficult for each student running SUBNET SELRDE to have their own dedicated SEL relay. SUBNET SELRDE System overcomes this obstacle by using a library of configuration files to simultaneously emulate up to 25 SEL relays so each user can have direct, dedicated access to one or more SEL relay models and firmware versions. Users can now use the SEL Relay masters such as the SEL-3332 or SEL-3351 (which both run SUBNET’s SubSTATION Server software) and even legacy SEL-203x Communication processors to communicate directly with these virtual relays with real-time dynamic data exchange. www.SUBNET.com SUBNET SEL Relay Data Emulator ™ SUBNET SEL Relay Data Emulator is a test firmware upgrades on remote terminals units versatile software tool used by a variety (RTUs), configure human machine interface (HMI) applications, test master/slave communications, of people including: troubleshoot network connections and more.
