Tab le 8.6 lists IEC 61850 settings. These settings are only available if your
device includes the optional IEC 61850 protocol.
Configure all other IEC 61850 settings, including subscriptions to incoming
GOOSE messages, with
ACSELERATOR Architect software.
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.
➤ Edit and create GOOSE datasets.
➤ Read non-SEL IED Capability Description (ICD) and
Configured IED Description (CID) files and determine the
available IEC 61850 messaging options.
➤ Use or edit preconfigured datasets for reports.
➤ Load device settings and IEC 61850 CID files into SEL IEDs.
➤ Generate ICD files that will provide SEL IED descriptions to
other manufacturers’ 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 manufacturers’ ICD and CID files, enabling the
engineer to map the data seamlessly into SEL IED logic. See the
ACSELERATOR Architect online help for more information.
SEL ICD File Versions
ACSELERATOR Architect version 1.1.69.0 and higher supports multiple ICD
file versions for each IED in a project. Because relays with different Ethernet
card firmware may require different CID file versions, this allows users to
manage the CID files of all IEDs within a single project.
