Siemens BCU Display with new Symbol & PLN Standard Symbol

Overview

Regarding the request of our customer/end user, PLN, to change the BCU Display symbol with their own standard, then we start build a new symbol, line, and necessary graphic to adopt their standard symbol. However, the BCU Display of SIPROTEC only display monochrome LCD graphic, but PLN Standard symbol using color as the indication of voltage, this is the disadvantages of using SIPROTEC BCU. Even with monochrome graphic, but the customer satisfied enough with the current display now. This document will describe how to use the update library file into your DIGSI software and describe how to implement the graphic with a lot of templates without creating from beginning.
