The CL-6 Acontrol supports customization of features to permit designand manufacture of customer-specific configuration andoperating logic for voltage regulator parameters may be programmed, updated, andinterrogated via personal computer using the CCI interfacesoftware. Temporary connection to the control is madethrough the front panel RS-232 port.

7 Also, permanent con-nections, through optional Fiber-Optic/RS-232 or RS-485interface boards, are available for SCADA or interconnec-tions to other devices. It is possible to have multiple masterstations communicating to a single features include: Easy-to-use graphical interface screens with simplemenus, scrolling lists of choices, and simple mouse-click selections. Settings created by modifying an existing file and sav-ing it with a new name. Reports printed with common, file-appropriate appli-cations without difficult printer and report configura-tion steps. control maintenance: Field technicians can interactdirectlywith controls; Engineers in an office can workwith a copy of the settings and readings from a control . Settings for a new control built from scratch or from acopied and modified file, from another control , on acomputer in the office. Copy the settings to a laptopcomputer to send to the control in the field.

8 Standard configuration settings designed and used toset up new controls to ensure that similar controls willhave similar setups. Readings and settings received into a laptop comput-er from a control in the field and then transferred toan engineering computer in the office for analysis andreporting. Look at saved readings and settings files tocompare setups and results to help make engineeringrecommendations. Settings converted from one version to another version. The files, both settings and readings, are in a non-proprietary format (Microsoft Excel) for easy useby other applications, such as spreadsheets Series Voltage Regulator control Cooper control Interface Users GuideIntroductionImportant User InformationThe CL-6A voltage regulator control offers the user the abilityto apply it in a variety of applications, to program its opera-tion over a wide range of parameters, and to customize itsoperating logic. Those responsible for the application of theCL-6A control must satisfy themselves that the programmedoperating parameters have been tested to verify that theymeet all performance and safety requirements, including anyapplicable regulations,codes, and there are many variables and user-selected operatingcharacteristics associated with any particular installation,the user should take the necessary steps to ensure that thedesign, configuration, installation, and use of operating soft-ware are maintained in a secure and controlled manner byproperly trained 's In This ManualThis User Guide describes how to install and use theCooper control Interface (CCI ) program.

10 SAFETYFOR LIFES ystem RequirementsThe recommended minimum software and hardware yourcomputer system needs to run CCI successfully is: A computer with a minimum of an Intel Pentium 90 MHz processor: an Intel Pentium 200 MHz proces-sor is recommended. A hard disk with 35 MB of free space. 32 MB of memory (RAM): 64 MB of RAM is recom-mended. One of the following operating systems: Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000,Windows XP, or Windows NT ( with Service Pack 3or later). This version of the software supports only 32-bitoperating systems and is not compatible withWindows CCI installation software with program key code. The installation program will ask you for this programkey. You will find it on the label of your CD-ROM. Youshould write this key down before installing CCI sothat you can provide it when it is requested. An available RS-232 serial port for connection to acontrol. A CD-ROM drive. A compact flash drive is recommended.
