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 latest OMICRON P34x.xrio file.
5. Click Open.

3 Using the Converter
The AREVA P34x XRIO converter can be used as a stand-alone converter or in association with a relay
specific test template, for example with the OMICRON Generator Protection template for the P34x relays.

In any way the converter is used, follow the quick start instructions and create your test using LinkToXRIO
or start using the relay specific test template (for more information, see the test template documentation).

7 OMICRON Test Strategy
The OMICRON test strategy is described in the OMICRON Protection Test Template (PTT) Generator
documentation. For detailed information, see the PTT Generator documentation.
8 Converter Structure
The converter is divided into two sections: the P34x section and the RIO section. Both sections consist of
several function blocks. The converter comes up in the standard view; the RIOplus section and the
template controller section can only be seen in the advanced view.
8.1 P34x Section
The P34x section is divided into four groups: the Relay Parameter Section, the Additional Information
section, the RIO Plus section and the TemplateController section.
8.1.1 Relay Parameter Section
The Relay Parameter Section includes the parameters which have to be changed by the user. All relay
parameters are included in this section and have to be set to the actual relay values. The parameters are
grouped and named as in the AREVA MiCOM S1 Studio software. Each parameter in this block is
identified by a Foreign ID (witch corresponds to the Address in the relay software).


Figure 3: Setting the parameters in the Relay Parameter Section
8.1.2 Additional Information
This block contains additional data for testing the P34x relay functionality. The block is divided into the
following sections:
General section includes detailed information needed for the test report like manufacturer,
device type, substation name etc. This section includes parameters which have to be changed by
the user according to the customer relay type and substation.
Relay Information section - This block has been added for relay specific parameters such as
tolerances which cannot be set by the user, because they are constant values. All values set in
this block can be found in the "P34x Generator Protection Relay" manual. Typically, these blocks
do not have to be changed, as they are already set to the values given in the user manual of the
relay.
Circuit Breaker Information section includes information which is required for the CB test.
Test Tolerance section includes an additional test tolerance to calculate the start and end value
for trip and pickup tests by using the OMICRON TU Ramping module.
Test Parameters section includes additional test parameters for testing adaptive functions
witch are not directly supported by the OMICRON TU test modules e.g. a voltage level for the 51V
tests. Furthermore it includes additional test parameters which are needed for testing the
protection function but not found in the relay settings. e.g. high operating current stage for the 87
Phase Differential protection function. This section includes parameters which have to be
changed by the user.
8.1.3 RIOPlus (Advanced view)
