IEC 61850 Configuration
ACSELERATOR Architect
The ACSELERATOR Architect software enables protection and integration
engineers to design and commission IEC 61850 substations containing SEL
IEDs.
Engineers can use
ACSELERATOR Architect to:
➤ Organize and configure all SEL IEDs in a substation project
➤ Configure incoming and outgoing GOOSE messages
➤ Read non-SEL IED Capability Description (ICD) and
Configured IED Description (CID) files and determine the
available IEC 61850 messaging options
➤ Load device settings and IEC 61850 CID files into SEL IEDs
➤ Generate ICD files that will provide SEL IED descriptions to
other manufacturer's tools so they can use SEL GOOSE
messages and reporting features
➤ Configure protection, logic, control, and communication
settings of all SEL IEDs in the substation
ACSELERATOR Architect provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for
engineers to select, edit, and create IEC 61850 GOOSE messages important
for substation protection, coordination, and control schemes. Typically, the
engineer first places icons representing IEDs in a substation container, then
edits the outgoing GOOSE messages or creates new ones for each IED. The
engineer may also select incoming GOOSE messages for each IED to receive
from any other IEDs in the domain.
ACSELERATOR Architect has the
capability to read other manufacturer's ICD and CID files, enabling the
engineer to map the data seamlessly into SEL IED logic. See the
ACSELERATOR Architect Instruction Manual or online help for more
information.
SEL ICD File Versions
ACSELERATOR Architect version R.1.1.69.0 and later supports multiple ICD
file versions for each type of IED in a project. Since relays with different
Ethernet port firmware may require different CID file versions, users can
manage the CID files of all IEDs within a single project.
Please ensure that you work with the appropriate version of
ACSELERATOR
Architect relative to your current configuration, existing project files, and
ultimate goals. If you desire the best available IEC 61850 functionality for
your SEL relay, obtain the latest version of
ACSELERATOR Architect and
select the appropriate ICD version(s) for your needs.
As of this writing,
ACSELERATOR Architect comes with four versions of the
SEL-751A ICD file. These versions are:
➤ 001: Original ICD file supplied with the first ACSELERATOR
Architect release. This version provides backward
compatibility for relays with firmware R101. An SEL-751A
with firmware R102 or later will not be able to process this file.
Only select this file for your project if you will download it to
an SEL-751A with appropriate firmware or intend to convert it
later. See CID File Conversion for the process of converting
existing version 001 files for use on relays with R102 or later
firmware.
