Features of 32 software (P34xxxxxxx0320J)

Phase Rotation
Disturbance recorder analogue channels increasing to
maximum of 9/12/13 channels in P342/3/4. P341 remains
at 8 channels.

8 analogue channels in previous software

DDBs increasing from 1023 to 1408 and re-organised
New Any Trip DDB

Any Trip is operation of Relay 3 in previous software

Any trip used to operate trip led and initiate CB monitoring
functions, CB Fail logic and used in Fault recorder logic

New Setting Group Selection DDBs created. Can connect

any Opto input or Control Inputs to the new Group
Selection DDBs

Optos #1 and 2 used to select setting groups in previous

software
