Introduction
1.1 Overview of IEC 61850

1.1 Overview of IEC 61850

The IEC 61850 standard has been defined in cooperation with manufacturers and users to create a uniform,
future-proof basis for the protection, communication, and control of substations.
The advantages of using this protocol are as follows:
• Interoperability: With IEC 61850, you will not encounter protocol diversity and integration problems.
• Simpler Engineering: From engineering to implementation, from operation to service, it saves time and
costs on configuration, commissioning and maintenance.

• Reduction of costs: IEC 61850 replaces wiring among feeders, control switches, and signaling devices.

• Reliability: It uses only one communication channel for all the real time data synchronized using
Ethernet.
The IEDs (Intelligent Electronic Devices) communicate with each other through a high-speed messaging tech-
nique called GOOSE (Generic Object-oriented Substation Event) messaging. On the occurrence of any status
change, an IED multicasts a high-speed GOOSE message, which typically contains the status of binary inputs,
trip signals, or status of primary equipment (for example, circuit breaker). They are all grouped in a dataset.
GOOSE is based on repetitions for a high reliability and for monitoring purposes of the communication link.
The IEC 61850 Edition 2 has been published to address certain issues such as interoperability and extensions
of data models and functions for the use in the following new areas or domains:
• Distributed Energy Resources
• Power Quality

• Hydropower and Wind Power

The IEC 61850 Edition 2 also supports new engineering possibilities, for example, for the SED file for GOOSE
intersubstation communication and the use of the functional product naming ldName.

1.2 Overview of System Configuration Tool

1.2 Overview of System Configuration Tool

The standard IEC 61850 System Configurator tool is designed to:
• Replace DIGSI 4 System Configurator.
• Replace DIGSI 5 integrated System Configurator

• Use with all Siemens IED tools like DIGSI 4, DIGSI 5, ReyDisp Manager, SICAM I/O Mapping tool, SICAM
ToolBox II and so on.

• Use as a vendor-neutral tool for IEC 61850 interoperable projects

• Reduce the engineering effort using fewer interfaces between software products.
The IEC 61850 System Configurator performs the following operations defined in IEC 61850-6 standard:
• Integrating and managing IEDs
• Configuring network

• GOOSE engineering

• Report engineering

• Process bus engineering

• Export of SCL files

• Import SCL files

• Protocol mapping for IEC 60870-5-104 according to IEC 61850-80-1

2.12.1 Overview of the Network Editor

In the Network Editor, you can structure the communication network of the IEC 61850 station, if necessary, by
adding or deleting a subnet. You can assign existing users to these subnets and specify the addressing and
relevant properties.
When you open a station for the first time, the network structure of the station consists of one or more
subnets. This contains the access points of all the devices that you assigned to the station as participants, that
is, what you see are not the devices, but the access points to these devices. Each device can have several
access points, which can be assigned to different subnets. The part of the name of an access point is the
device name, which you have assigned within the project. Therefore, it is easy to find the individual devices in
the network structure. You can add new subnets to the existing structure or delete the existing subnets.

2.12.2 Opening the Network Editor

2.12.4 Moving the Access Point

Most IEDs contain a single access point. Some physical devices like SIPROTEC 5 can support several communi-
cation modules with IEC 61850. Access points can be moved from one subnet to another subnet either using
the drag and drop or the cut and paste option. Moving access points does not change the IP address of the
access point. To allow GOOSE configuration, access points must be in the same network.
To move an access point using drag and drop, proceed as follows:
² Select the access point in the Network editor.
² Drag it onto the Subnet for which this access point has to be assigned.

NOTE

i The access point with ServerAt of the same IED have to be in different subnets.

To move an access point using cut and paste, proceed as follows:

² Right-click the access point and select Cut from the context menu.
² Right-click the subnet to which you want to paste the access point and select Paste from the context
menu.

2.12.5 Addressing the Access Points

2.12.5.1 Overview
The IP address of an access point must be unique within a subnet. You can enter the IP address manually in
the Properties window of an access point, or you can use the automatic addressing function with consecutive
IP addresses.

2.12.5.2 Manual Addressing

To assign the IP address manually, proceed as follows:
² Select the access point in the Network editor.
² Enter the IP address in the Properties window in the IP address field.
The IP address and Standard Gateway have the x.y.y.x (where, x = 1 to 254 and y = 0 to 254) format,
whereas Subnet mask has the x.y.y.z (where, x = 1 to 255, y = 0 to 255, and z = 0 to 254) format.
However, it must be noted that not every possible combination within the value range is permissible. For
all the non-permissible exceptions, an error message is displayed as a tooltip in the Properties windows
for IP address.

IP address, Overwriting existing IP addresses dialog is displayed.
² Click Yes to overwrite the existing IP address or click No to abort the operation.

NOTE

i Automatic addressing is not applicable to the devices added through SED import.

2.12.6 Specifying the Timer Server

All the devices must be synchronized to a uniform time base to ensure the timely accurate acquisition and
documentation of events. To realize this, you need a reliable time source as well as a mechanism to make this
time available to each other. A timer is used as a time source and the mechanism is called as Network Time
Protocol (NTP).
You can integrate several timers into your Network editor as devices. One of the timers is specified as a first
timer (primary timer) with the additional timer as the second timer. If the first timer fails, the second timer
becomes active. You can operate your network with only one timer, however, redundancy is no longer
ensured.

NOTE

i Initially the timer is available in the New devices folder. The timer option is enabled in the Properties
window once it is assigned to a subnet.

To specify the timer in the Properties window of the station, proceed as follows:
² Select the timer from the Subnets window.

2.13.14 Generating the GOOSE Connection

A GOOSE link consists of a signal as the source and at least a Logical node or a Data object as the destination.
Links are always created within GOOSE applications.
For linking a source signal to a target node, the following rules apply:
• You can connect one source signal to several destination nodes.
• A signal can only be used in precisely one GOOSE application as a source signal.

• The source signal and the destination node must always be located on different devices. You cannot
connect a source signal to a destination node from the same device.
The links are also grouped into datasets within a GOOSE application.
You can connect a source signal to a destination node manually in the GOOSE editor by drag and drop if the
CDC (Common Data Class) matches. This is applicable only to EN100. Other devices are mapped at LN level
and thus no CDC check is performed. The mapping is then done at the data attribute group level which usually
consists of the following:
• Status stVal and quality q
• Selected position stSled and quality q

• General trip and quality q

• Measurement mag.f and quality q

NOTE

i The field Name (ldName) is enabled for Edition-2 stations if the IED defines the appropriate service capabili-
ties.
When the IED publisher uses the ldName for the published dataset, the GOOSE subscriptions can be config-
ured based on the service capabilities of the IED subscriber.

To connect a source signal to a destination signal manually, proceed as follows:

² Select a destination signal in the Destination catalog.
² Hold down the mouse button and drag the selection onto the line containing the source signal in the
GOOSE editor.
If insertion is not allowed at this position, the mouse pointer changes to a crossed-out circle and the corre-
sponding message is displayed in the tooltip.

NOTE

i For devices with EN100 and later binding, insertion is allowed at DA group level and for other devices,
insertion is allowed at DO level and dataset level.
If the signal is inserted at dataset level, then the selected destination signal will be connected for all the
source signals of the dataset.
To subscribe the SIPROTEC 5 later binding data object, both the publisher and the subscriber must have the
same basic type attribute in the data object.

² Release the mouse button at a permissible position.

The selected destination signals are connected to the source signals.

NOTE

i If the selected destination signal cannot be connected to the source signal or if it has already been
connected, change the selection.

2.15 Reports and Logs View

2.15.1 Overview of Reports and Logs

Devices support data transmission between server and client in the form of reports and logs.
A report is comparable to indications list. Changes to indications or measured values, for example, by raising
or clearing protection trigger are immediately transmitted from the server to the client. Therefore, the client
does not have to make cyclical queries in the server as is the case in serial protocols. Instead, the client is auto-
matically informed about an event.
You can use Report and logs Editor to add datasets. Datasets group individual signals together. The signals
combined in datasets can subsequently be assigned to various report control blocks. It is possible to assign one
dataset to several report control blocks.

NOTE

i This editor is for the use of static reporting. By default, dynamic reporting is commonly used in Siemens
portfolio. This does not require any engineering in Reports and Logs editor.

2.15.10 Set Parameter Report as Buffered or Unbuffered

The IEC 61850 distinguishes between buffered reports and unbuffered reports. For a buffered report, if the
connection between the server and client is interrupted, changes of indications are saved in the device. Once
the connection is restored, these indications are transmitted to the client with a time stamp.
For an unbuffered report, the changes are lost if the connection is lost. If there is a constant connection
between the client and server, both behaviors appear identical from the user view.
You select as an option in Properties window whether a report is buffered or unbuffered in the applicable
report control block. After inserting a new report control block, the buffered option is set to No by default.
To activate the buffer option in the Properties window, proceed as follows:
² Select the report from the Report and Log control blocks for which you want to activate the buffer
option.
² Select Yes for the Buffer indications in Parameter group in the Properties window.
The Identify information report as buffered dialog is displayed for the devices dependent on the services
section.

4.1 Overview

4.1 Overview
The IED log collection feature is used to check, monitor, and collect logs of an IED configured in the IEC 61850
network topology (for example, SIPROTEC, Reyrolle, SICAM) and of an external switch (for example,
RuggedCom, Scalance) using SNMP and/or HTTP.

Prerequisite for IED Log Collection

The network settings of the Ethernet card must be configured to communicate with IEDs.

Prerequisite for IED Log Collection via SNMP

The IEDs must support SNMP v1, v2, or v3. They should be configured to accept SNMP requests from the PC on
which the IEC 61850 System Configurator is running.

• Conversion of an SCD file to an editable TXT file as input for NetView
When an SCD file is used, a new file inputfileToTxt.txt will be created and stored in the output directory.
It contains all the information stored in the SCD file and is needed to run the function again after editing
the TXT file.

• Saving and restoring the current scroll position

For each page, the current scroll position (horizontally and vertically) is saved in a cookie. If you reload or
revisit the page, the last scroll position is recalled via JavaScript.
If the cookies and/or JavaScript is not activated in your Web browser, this feature will not work. At each
reload, the page will be displayed from the top.

• Creation of a log file with changed values between 2 SNMP polling cycles
A log file is created when certain SNMP-requested values change during the execution of the application.
A log is created containing the changes made to the preconfigured SNMP variables. The values which are
not equivalent to the values in the polling request are listed as displayed in the following table.

6.12 Access Point

Group: Parameter

Property Description
IP address This field represents the current IP address of the access point. You can edit
this address manually. The IP address and the standard gateway have the
format x.y.y.x (where x = 1 to 254, y = 0 to 254), subnet masks have the
format x.y.y.z (where x = 1 to 255, y = 0 to 255, z = 0 to 254).
However, it must be observed that not every possible combination is
permitted within the value range. Non-permissible exceptions are automati-
cally rejected by the system configurator with a corresponding message. The
field display is updated as soon as the Automatic addressing function is
used.
Subnet mask The subnet mask allows two nodes communicating with each other to
recognize whether they are in the same or in different subnets. This
however requires that the IP addresses have been assigned consistently. The
preset subnet mask 255.255.255.0 can usually be retained for operation
with only one subnet.
However, the preset value can also be changed. The IP address and the
standard gateway have the format x.y.y.x (where, x = 1 to 254, y = 0 to
254), subnet masks have the format x.y.y.z (where, x = 1 to 255, y = 0 to
255, z = 0 to 254).
Standard Gateway The standard gateway is the transition from one subnet to another defined
as the standard. Such a transition is handled as a usual node and is therefore
also identified by a unique IP address. If nodes with a router function are
available within the network, their IP addresses are listed in a list box. You
can open this box by clicking the arrow button on the right border of the
input field.
You can also enter an IP address manually in this field. The IP address and
the standard gateway have the format x.y.y.x (where, x = 1 to 254, y = 0 to
254), subnet masks have the format x.y.y.z (where, x = 1 to 255, y = 0 to
255, z = 0 to 254).
However, it must be observed that not every possible combination is
permitted within the value range. Not permissible exceptions are automati-
cally rejected by the IEC 61850 System Configurator with a corresponding
message.
Device-device communication This field represents the GOOSE capability of the device. The values for this
property can be None, Client, Server, or Both.
Vertical communication This field represents whether the device allows a vertical communication
with other devices. The display of data objects is correspondingly adjusted in
the GOOSE, SMV, and Reports and logs view in the Source catalog and
the Destination catalog.
Timer function This field represents whether the device can be used as a timer. The prop-
erty values are either True or False.
Router function This field represents whether the device can be used as a router. The prop-
erty values are either True or False.

This property is not relevant for devices without a timer functionality. The
entry function No is displayed for such devices. By clicking the arrow button
on the right border, you can open a list box to specify the timer status. The
number of possible options depends on the number of timers within a

One timer: option Yes (first timer)
Two timers: additional option Yes (second timer)
At least three timers: additional option No.
If you change any setting, the IEC 61850 System Configurator automatically
adjusts the status of other timers.
Message buffering This is applicable for EN100 devices only.
Here you can specify the memory requirements for message buffers.
Dynamic reporting requires additional memory.
Select Only static reporting if you configure the reporting exclusively in the

Group: Parameter

Property Description
IP start address Enables you to use the function of automatic addressing of all access
points within the current subnet by entering a valid IP address as start
value in this field. The IP address and the Standard Gateway have the
format x.y.y.x (where x = 1 to 254, y = 0 to 254), subnet masks have
the format x.y.y.z (where x = 1 to 255, y = 0 to 255, z = 0 to 254).
However, it must be observed that not every possible combination is
permitted within the value range. Non-permissible exceptions are auto-
matically rejected by the IEC 61850 System Configurator with a corre-
sponding message. During the automatic addressing, this IP start
address is assigned to an access point displayed at the highest level
within the subnet. All other access points are assigned IP addresses,
which are allocated in ascending order starting from the start address.

Property Description
Subnet mask The subnet mask allows two nodes communicating with each other to
recognize whether they are in the same subnet or in the different
subnet. This however requires that the IP addresses have been assigned
consistently. The preset subnet mask 255.255.255.0 can usually be
retained for operation with only one subnet. However, the preset value
can also be changed. The IP address and the standard gateway have
the format x.y.y.x (where x = 1 to 254, y = 0 to 254), subnet masks
have the format x.y.y.z (where x = 1 to 255, y = 0 to 255, z = 0 to 254).
The entry Device-dependent indicates that devices with different
subnet masks are used in this subnet. If you try to select one subnet
mask for all devices, a warning is displayed by the IEC 61850 System
Configurator. Confirming this warning with OK overwrites the settings
of all devices of the subnet with the subnet mask.
Standard Gateway The Standard gateway is the transition from one subnet to another
defined as the standard. Such a transition is handled as a usual node
and is therefore identified by a unique IP address. If nodes with a router
function are available within the network, their IP addresses are listed
in a list box. You can open this box by clicking the arrow button on the

format x.y.y.z (where x = 1 to 255, y = 0 to 255, z = 0 to 254).
However, it must be observed that not every possible combination is
permitted within the value range. Non-permissible exceptions are auto-
matically rejected by the IEC 61850 System Configurator with a corre-
sponding message.
The entry Device-dependent indicates that different standard gate-
ways are used in this subnet. If you try to select one standard gateway
for all devices, a warning is displayed by the IEC 61850 System Config-
urator. Confirming this warning with OK overwrites the settings of all
devices of the subnetwork with the standard gateway.
Baud rate This field represents the data transmission rate on the bus. The factory-
preset value of 100 Mbit/s should not be changed, since no higher
transmission rate is possible in connection with IEC 61850 at the
moment.
Type This field describes the type of the bus protocol. The factory default is
MMS/TCP. You cannot use any other bus protocol at the moment,
which is why you should not change this value.

A.1 Trace Logs and Crash Dump

A.1 Trace Logs and Crash Dump

The trace logs and crash memory dump allow significantly to reduce the analysis time in customer projects. It
details the customer logs and thus facilitates reproducibility by Siemens support. In case of fatal application
error, it also provides advanced details to Siemens support.

Crash Dump
When there is a fatal error or when the application crashes, a crash dump file is created with the name
SysconCrashDump_yyyyMMdd_hhmmss in %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Siemens Energy\IEC61850SystemConfi-
gurator\SysconCrashDump directory. At any point of time, maximum of two files are available in that direc-
tory. The latest file overwrites the oldest file when there are two dump files in the directory.

NOTE

i To launch IEC 61850 System Configurator, there must be at least 1 GB of free physical memory (Operating
System installation drive). Once the IEC 61850 System Configurator is launched, if the memory becomes
less than 1 GB and if a crash occurs, a log file (.txt) is created. The Not enough memory to create crash
memory dump message is logged in the text file.

Customer Logs and Developer Logs

When the user encounters an abnormal behavior because of the issues in the application, the log files can be
viewed to analyze the workflow and then send the logs to the customer support for further analysis.

Customer Logs
All the critical messages pertaining to the actions performed by the user are logged in SysconCustomerTra-
ceLog_yyyyMMdd_hhmmss.csv file in %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Siemens Energy\IEC61850SystemConfigu-
rator\SysconCustomerTraceLog directory. These logs contain only the Error level category and the maximum
size of the file is 10 MB. At any point of time, maximum of five files are available in the SysconCustomerTra-
ceLog directory.

Developer Logs
All the detailed messages pertaining to the actions performed by the user are logged in SysconDeveloperTra-
ceLog_yyyyMMdd_hhmmss.csv file in ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Siemens Energy\IEC61850SystemConfigurator
\ SysconDeveloperTraceLog directory. These logs contain messages from all the categories and the maximum
size of the file is 10 MB. At any point of time, maximum of five files are available in the SysconDeveloperTra-
ceLog directory.

NOTE

i Customer log is a subset of developer log.

User can switch between developer logs and customer logs by changing the value of TraceLevelSwitch in C:
\Program Files (x86)\Siemens Energy\IEC 61850 System Configurator V5.20\Configurator
\IEC61850Conf.exe.config file. For customer logs, the TraceLevelSwitch value is 1 and for developer logs, it
is 4.

NOTE

i By default, the TraceLevelSwitch value is set to 1. It will be changed temporarily only in agreement with
Siemens customer support.
