COMMISSIONING AND TESTING GUIDE 43
A possible system setup is shown in Figure 90.
The real IEDs are set up to control the typical bays
of a substation (like a line or transformer bay)
under test.
ITT SA Synthesizer simulates all other IEDs. Thus,
the SCADA and the real IEDs act as they were
connected to the whole substation.
In particular, when GOOSE is used for
interlocking, the real IEDs receive all the required
position information from the ITT SA Synthesizer.
Hence their internal logic will work as if all IEDs
were physically present.
ITT600 SA Explorer
Integrated testing tool ITT600 SA Explorer is
designed for easy diagnosis and troubleshooting
of IEC 61850-based substation automation
systems and applications.
ITT600 SA Explorer tool offers facilities for
exploring and analyzing the communication
configuration of the protection and control IEDs
(Intelligent Electronic Devices) and IEC 61850
communication in substation automation
systems, including GOOSE messages.
Its versatile functionality eliminates the need for
multiple testing tools for different purposes,
such as MMS browsers, and protocol and Ethernet
analyzers.
ITT600 SA Explorer provide test engineers with
access to any IEC 61850-compliant IED. The tool’s
various functions allow efficient testing of the
IED application and isolate the root cause of
system communication problems. This
significantly reduces testing and commissioning
time.

91 The main use cases
of ITT600 SA Explorer
The ITT600 SA Explorer can be divided in five
main parts:
ITT600 – Explore IEDs enables the user to either
browse SCL file contents or retrieving the IEC
61850 related configuration from any compliant
IED over the network. Its full-fledged IEC 61850
client allows to do various operations on multiple
IEDs in parallel. Additionally, it provides the
functionality to simulate one IED of the loaded
SCL file.
ITT600 – Explore Ethernet is an easy to use
protocol analyzer that supports SA related
protocols. It is able to present the transmitted
IEC 61850 data in a user readable form, without
having a deep knowledge about the protocols.
This functionality simplifies troubleshooting of
communication problems significantly.
ITT600 – Explore Models enables the user to
compare SCL related data. It does not matter
whether two SCL compatible files or online data
are compared. This functionality again simplifies
troubleshooting because every configuration can
be compared against a reference.
