Generation of a Substation Conguration Description (SCD) File
The substation conguration (i. e. connection of all logical nodes of protection and control
devices) as well as switch gear usually is done with a ”Substation Conguration Tool“.
Therefore the ICD les of all connected IEDs in the IEC 61850 environment have to be
available. The result of the station wide “software wiring” can be exported in the form of a
Station Conguration Description (SCD) le.
Suitable Substation Conguration Tools (SCT) are available from the following companies:
• H&S, Hard- & Software Technologie GmbH & Co. KG, Dortmund (Germany) (══▷
www.hstech.de).
• Applied Systems Engineering Inc. (══▷ www.ase-systems.com)
•
Kalki Communication Technologies Limited (══▷ www.kalkitech.com)
Import of the *.SCD File into the Device
When the substation conguration is completed, the *.SCD le has to be transmitted to
all connected devices. This has to be done as follows:
• (1.) Connect the device with your PC/notebook.
•
(2.) Start PowerPort-E.
• (3.) Click on »Receive data from Device« in the »Device« menu.
• (4.) Click on [IEC 61850] in the [Device Para] menu.
• (5.) Switch the parameter »IEC 61850 Communication« to »OFF« and submit the
changed parameter set into the device.
• (6.) Click on the IEC icon in the IEC 61850 window.
•
(7.) Select the folder where the *.SCD le is stored. Select the *.SCD le and click
"Open".
• (8.) A password is requested. Enter the same password, which you use for parameter
setting of the device.
• (9.) Following Step 5, again switch on the IEC Communication and submit the
changed parameter set into the device.
• (10.) Repeat Steps 1 through 9 for all devices connected to this IEC 61850
environment.
• If no error message occurs, the conguration has been completed successfully.
