11 Using the Web Server’s
Commissioning Tool
The SMP Gateway’s built-in web server also provides a commissioning tool that simplifies the
engineering effort required for the implementation and the integration of a substation. It is
intended to help technician(s) and/or engineer(s) testing the SMP Gateway’s configuration and
connectivity with the substation devices and the SCADA.
The web server’s commissioning tool, when configured and activated, is accessible through a web
browser, the same way than for viewing data in real-time. It may be enabled by users that have the
System Management privilege, and the operation privilege is required for users that will perform
the commissioning operations, which are essentially the following:
Forcing an analog/binary input point to a specific value/state.
This operation allows the validation of the configuration of the SMP Gateway’ slave protocol
and the SCADA, by verifying if all the gateway’s data points are correctly mapped on both
sides, if minimum/maximum values are correctly handled, etc.
Performing a control operation on an analog/binary output point.
This operation allows the validation of the master protocols’ configuration, by verifying if the
IEDs’ data points are correctly configured in their corresponding masters, if scale and offset
settings are correctly specified for each data point, etc.
For example, by forcing each data point of an IED on the SMP Gateway, the technician/engineer
can verify that these points are correctly configured, and that transitions/changes for these are
correctly handled by the SCADA. On the other side, by executing control operation directly on the
SMP Gateway, instead of performing them on the SCADA, the technician/engineer can validate
that the masters’ output points are correctly configured.
11.1 Configuring an SMP Gateway for
Commissioning
If you intend to use the web server’s commissioning tool on your SMP Gateway, you must first
enable it in the gateway’s configuration, using SMP Config.
The configuration process is quick and simple, as described here:
In SMP Manager’s application window, select your SMP Gateway.
