Technical Field

[0001] This invention proposes a local universal operation and maintenance system for distribution network protection devices and its working method, which relates to the field of distribution automation technology. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are numerous distribution network protection manufacturers. During on-site operation and maintenance of distribution network protection systems, the different maintenance software and communication protocols used by various manufacturers result in maintenance personnel having access to dozens of different software versions. Improper use of these software versions can lead to maintenance failures or even serious accidents such as switch malfunctions caused by incorrect parameter configurations. Currently, domestic power companies use the protocols DL / T634.5101 and DL / T634.5104 in their distribution network protection equipment. These two industry standards define rules for file transfer and parameter viewing and modification, but lack rules for transmitting self-describing parameter information. To address these issues and achieve unified operation and maintenance of distribution network protection systems from different manufacturers, a self-describing operation and maintenance method for distribution network protection was developed in accordance with the State Grid Corporation's protocol details. Summary of the Invention

[0080] Furthermore, when implementing a local general operation and maintenance system for distribution network protection devices, the file descriptions of parameters and the information body addresses of parameters included in the transmission of the operation and maintenance tools and the distribution network protection self-description file are all transmitted in a data stream manner.

[0081] Furthermore, when implementing a local general operation and maintenance system for distribution network protection devices, the dedicated protocol includes the 101 protocol or the 104 protocol.

[0082] In addition to the above, the present invention also has related embodiments, including the following:

[0083] In one embodiment of the present invention, the preferred embodiment includes the following steps and contents:

[0084] Step S1: The distribution network protection and maintenance tools establish a connection using the 101 or 104 protocol;

[0085] Step S2: The operation and maintenance tool issues the Para directory name to the distribution network protection according to the file transfer method in the 101 or 104 protocol;

[0086] Step S3: According to the file transfer method of the 101 or 104 protocol, the distribution network protection uploads the file information in the Para directory to the operation and maintenance tool. The information includes the Para.inf file name, file size and file generation time.

For high-risk operations, the operation and maintenance tool will pop up an alarm dialog box, requiring the operation and maintenance personnel to confirm or cancel the operation.
