Key Concept

Schneider Electric - CS&P – SCE Overview – E01 14

• SCE – Objects Properties
Basic Concept : Object

Belong to a HIERARCHY

Site (Electric) Main hierarchy containing electric process

SCS Main hierarchy containing system description (mappings)

Graphic Main hierarchy containing OI & C264 views + users/rights

Has 1 father Has Sons called COMPONENTS

Schneider Electric - CS&P – SCE Overview – E01 15

• SCE – Objects Properties
Basic Concept : Object

IS a structured data
Attributes :

Field with field name, Type, range…

Properties on attributes or on relation with other object

Schneider Electric - CS&P – SCE Overview – E01 16

• SCE – Objects Properties
Basic Concept : Object

HAS Relations

Implicit (Hierarchy : father/son)

Hidden or protected (user level)

Explicit and customisable

Schneider Electric - CS&P – SCE Overview – E01 17

• SCE – Data Hierarchies

Site (Electric)

contains real time data called datapoint

Voltage Level / Bay / Module

SCS (System)

contains mappings

networks, wiring, SBUS equipment

datapoint profiles

acquisition and processing behaviour

Graphic Part

contains OI graphical views

contains MiCOM computers front views

contains user rights definition

Schneider Electric - CS&P – SCE Overview – E01 18

• Relations between Objects
What is a relation?

Connection between 2 objects belonging to 2 different

hierarchies

Digital Information with a board / channel wiring

Bay with controlling computer

Datapoint with datapoint profile

Configure a relation

mandatory

automatically attached to object (to be completed)

configurable

directly, Relation Editor

SCE Templates

Key Concept

Schneider Electric - CS&P – SCE Overview – E01 20

• SCE Templates – Purpose
Templates : What for?

Ease configuration process using the following concepts :

Data modelling

IED, Switchgear, Transformer, C264, Graphic, …

Attributes protection

fix a value for object attributes w/out changing possibility

Automatic retrofit of correction in instances

make correction at template level, correction will be retrofitted in
all instances

Use of libraries

Electric, System, Graphic

 • SCE Templates – Concept
 Basic Concept : Templates
MODEL

Evolution

Degree Of Freedom e.g. Name

Instantiation Parameter e.g. Colour
Automatic
Template Link

CB2 CB2
CB3 CB3
N instances= N duplicates fixed Attributes
= duplicates + DOF

• SCE – Templates Definition
Template :
For one Application case, it is User Definition of objects set
=> over several hierarchies

is a model Electric : List of points
1 Template links
SCS : IED mapping

Object as instance of Template :

is a copy of template structure in object hierarchy
(with template attributes)
BUT

no structure change allowed

no attribute change except explicit template DOF

Template is Definition => If template change all

instances change

1) Selected Template
2) View All Instance 3) Selected Instance
4) Reach

• SCE – Key Concepts

3 Purposes of SCE
• DB Generation for devices
• Data Consistency
• Configuration Editor

3 Basic Hierarchies of SCE
• Site Real Time DataPoints
• SCS Mappings
• Graphic Interfaces for operator

2 Database parts into the SCE

• Object DB
• Templates DB

Database versioning by SCE

• VdBS : WORK versions -> versioned Data Base
-> generate versioned Data Bag
