Required knowledge: * How to trigger a script in EMTP
* What are DWDevice, DWCircuit, DWSignal, DWPin, etc in EMTP JavaScript?
* How to get devices in circuit with EMTP JavaScript
This script gets a DWDevice from an EMTP DWCircuit and change its attribute Name.
//* Description: This script gets DEV1 in the main circuit and change its name to fault
//** Get the current (active) DWCircuit object. See Help & Support/4 - JavaScript based Scripting in EMTP/DWCircuit for methods and attributes
var cCt = currentCircuit();
//** Get all devices of the DWCircuit cCt into an array whose names are DEV1.
var DWDevice_DEV1_array = cCt.devices('Name', 'DEV1'); //See Help & Support/4 - JavaScript based Scripting in EMTP/DWCircuit for more filtering options
//DWDevice_DEV1_array is an array with one element, because only one device is named DEV1 in cCt.
//Check if DEV1 was found
if(DWDevice_DEV1_array==null || DWDevice_DEV1_array.length==0){
alert('The searched device does not exist!');
halt(); //Stop the script. See Help & Support/4 - JavaScript based Scripting in EMTP/SPScript
}
//** Get DEV1 out of DWDevice_DEV1_array
var DWDevice_fault= DWDevice_DEV1_array[0] //DWDevice_fault is the DWDevice of the first element (and only one) of DWDevice_DEV1_array
//** Change DWDevice_fault name
DWDevice_fault.setAttribute('Name', 'fault')
alert('The new name of the device is '+ DWDevice_fault) //alert, just for the exercises
