A selected relay can be copied:
„Edit > Copy“ and „Edit > Paste“
The new relay comes up
Note: The new relay has a new internal address. Original and copy are 
different.
For a selected relay a variant can be generated:
„Edit > Create variant“
The new relay variant comes up.
Note: The variant has the same address like the original relay. Original and 
variant are not different!
DIGSI 4 - Generate Copies/Variants
Siemens Power Academy
Energy Sector © Siemens AG Version: B 5_Page 27 02_A0: Project Administration
DIGSI 4 Basic
A relay must be copied, when there are two or more 
relays of the same type and the parameters should be 
copied.
In this case the new relay must be initialized first (to 
get a new internal address).
For a relay a variant must be created, when there are 
multiple parameter settings are required for one relay.
The relay has to be initialized only once, because the 
variants have all the same address.

Create a new variant of your relay (in „Region North“): „My relay 1“. Change 
one parameter.
Export the variant into the file system („Myrelay1.dex“ on „C:\Floppy“).
a) Import the exported file as a SIPROTEC 4 variant: „My relay 2“. 
Change the parameterization of the original relay.
b) Import the exported file directly as SIPROTEC 4 device and replace the 
original relay.

Obviously, you don’t have to change the run 
sequence as the TIMER is the only block 
running in the chart.
Changes must, however, be made if several function blocks are 
placed – and some of them are maybe in the wrong order…

In this case, the run sequence must be changed 
as the TIMER has the number 2 in the chart, i.e. 
it will be executed after the OR block.
In this case, click on
