IEC61850:
IED Capability Description (ICD) file: The 60 Series ICD file is an IEC61850
Substation Configuration Language (SCL) file which contains the IEC61850
'capability' description of the 60 Series IED. It is used by the IEC61850 IED
Configurator tool to perform an IEC61850 configuration. The ICD file is stored on the
M66x IED in flash memory. The ICD file can be downloaded from the IED using the
built-in web interface.
The IEC61850 IED Configuration tool uses the ICD file as a template from which it
can create an IEC61850 device configuration. After configuration is completed and
verified, the user should export that configuration as a CID file to the local PC.
