data. The input data must be connected to a GOOSE receive function blocks in the Signal
Matrix tool.
7.2.2 Function view for IEC 61850 in PCM600
The IED design is directly based on IEC 61850. Thus, the function blocks in PCM600 tool
use IEC 61850 logical node naming for function blocks. This relation is automatically
handled by the PCM600 tools.
The concept in the IED is such that the IEC 61850 data for each function instance is
available in the data model, even when the function is not used in the application. This
means that it is not necessary to handle any instance information for the functions
regarding IEC 61850.
7.2.3 Station configuration description file types
The IEC 61850 standard defines SCL file types in the sequence of engineering. These files
have a different definition, which is explained in IEC 61850-6. Three of the file types are
used in the engineering process for an IED.
• ICD = IED capability description
• Capability description of the IED in logical nodes and their data. No
information about, for example, the communication configuration is included.
• An IED is already extended by default data sets and report control blocks. They
are predefined by ABB. Changes or additional data sets, for example, have to
be done with IEC 61850 Configuration tool or IET600.
• SCD = Station configuration description
• A complete configuration description of all IEDs in a station and the full
engineering of process signals and communication structure is included. This
includes all the needed data sets and control blocks.
• CID = Configured IED description
• The CID file contains the information needed for configuring one specific IED.
The CID file contains the complete configuration description of one specific
IED. This includes the configured IED name, communication part, data sets
and all control blocks.
• IID = Instantiated IED description
• The IID file contains a complete IED configuration, like the CID file. The IID
file can include references to other devices which are not present in the file. The
IID file is meant for transferring configuration data from IED configuration tool
to a system configuration tool.
