Test arrangement and method for testing a switching system
First Claim
1. A test device and connected adapter cable for a control unit of a switching device of a substation, the test device being connectable to the control unit via the adapter cable, the test device comprising:
- a number of signal inputs;
a number of signal outputs; and
wherein the test device simulates the switching device,wherein a storage unit connected to the adapter cable stores configuration-specific data to be read by the test device, andwherein at least one of the number of signal inputs and at least one of the number of signal outputs are automatically configurable to perform a test according to the configuration-specific data.

Abstract
In order to test substations from different manufacturers and of different types in a simple manner, it is provided that a control unit (6) for a switching device (5) of a substation (4) is connected via an adapter cable (11) to a test device (10), which simulates the switching device (5) for the test and the test device (10) reads configuration-specific data from a memory unit (15) on the adapter cable (11) and the test unit (10) thus configures its signal inputs (BE) and signal outputs (BA, AA) that are required for conducting the test.
