2. Introduction

2.1. Product overview

The IEC 61850 OPC Server enables OPC clients to access process data from IEC 61850
devices.

Introduction-1.jpg

(6) Protection and control devices communicating through IEC 61850 protocol

The IEC 61850 OPC server can be used as a part of COM 610/615 or as a part of the
MicroSCADA Pro system (see Figure 2.1-1).

To create a common data interface between the OPC server and client, the process data
is modelled using the IEC 61850 protocol. The IEC 61850 protocol is a set of specifica-
tions, which details layered substation communication architecture. The International

Protocol (OPC)
3.0 User's Guide

Standard IEC 61850 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 57: Power system
control and associated communications.

The IEC 61850 specifies usage of Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS, ISO
9506) over TCP/IP as communication between the IEC 61850 server and client
(device/IEC 61850 OPC Server).

After the IEC 61850 OPC Server and other required components are installed, you can
build and configure hierarchically structured models of a substation or a system for the
IEC 61850 OPC Server using a Communication Engineering Tool (CET) configuration
files and device.

The configuration data is stored in SCL (XML based) format. After the IEC 61850 OPC
Server has been launched, it reads the configuration file and establishes communication
with the IEC 61850 devices through the IEC 61850 protocol stack.

Configured IEC 61850 devices and their data are then exposed to OPC clients through
an OPC Data Access (DA) server and device reported changes in data with DA subscrip-
tion are reported to OPC clients.

3. Configuration

3.1. Overview of configuration

This chapter guides you in the configuration tasks required before you can start using
the IEC 61850 OPC Server. For information on the IEC 61850 data modelling, refer to
the respective standards and specifications.

Both COM 610/615 and MicroSCADA Pro include Communication Engineering Tool
(CET). All tasks introduced in this chapter apply for both COM 600 CET and Micro-
SCADA Pro CET. If there are differences between these two CETs, you are informed
about these differences. First you need to start the COM 600 or MicroSCADA Pro
Communication Engineering Tool (CET) to open and name a project.

The configuration work can be divided into two separate tasks:

1. Building an object tree
2. Configuring object properties

First, you need to build an object tree. This is done by adding objects to the object tree,
refer to 3.2.1, General about building object tree. Connectivity Packages for certain
protection and control products usually contain preconfigurations and tools to facilitate
the building of the object tree.

Table 3.1-1 describes the possible objects shown in the object tree. After you have added
the necessary objects to the object tree in the Communication structure, you need to
configure them, refer to 3.3.1, Configuring object properties.
Table 3.1-1 IEC 61850 OPC Server related objects
Object Description

IEC 61850 OPC Server Object representing the IEC 61850 OPC Server
Event Definitions Object representing event definitions for IEC 61850 OPC Server
diagnostics
IEC 61850 Subnetwork Object representing a physical subnetwork. IEC 61850 OPC
Server supports only one subnetwork.
IEC 61850 Device (IEC 61850 Object representing a physical IEC 61850 protection and control
IED) device. You should not have more than 30 devices per each
subnetwork.
Attributes Predefined object that contains items for controlling or retrieving
status information for the parent object. The parent object can
be the Server, a Subnetwork or a Device object.
Logical Device (LD) Object representing a group of functions, each function is defined
as a logical node. A physical device consists of one or several
LDs.
Logical Node (LN) An object defined by its data and methods. LN is the smallest
part of a function that exchanges data.

Object Description

Data Object (DO) A data object is an instance of one of the IEC 61850 Common
Data Classes, for example single point status, measured value
etc. Depending on the class, each data object has a set of
attributes for monitoring and controlling the object, for instance
value, quality and control.
Data Set (DS) The data set is the content basis for reporting and logging. The
data set contain references to the data and data attribute values.
Report Control Block (RCB) The report control block controls the reporting process for event
data as they occur. The reporting process continues as long as
the communication is available.

3.2. Building object tree

3.2.1. General about building object tree

Before you can start using the IEC 61850 OPC Server, you need to build and configure
an object tree in Communication Engineering Tool (CET) to define the Communication
structure.

Figure 3.2.1-1 shows an example of how the object tree may look like after it has been
built. In the example tree you can see the IEC 61850 OPC Server object and its child
objects like subnetworks, devices and data objects. Indentation is used to indicate the
parent-child relationship between the objects.

User's Guide 3.0

IECCETMain.jpg

Figure 3.2.1-1 Example view of the Communication Engineering Tool

You have several possible ways to add objects to the object tree in the Communication
structure:

• You can right-click the object to which you want to add a child object.
• You can copy the object.
• You can drag and drop the object.

Add the objects in the following order:

1. Gateway (COM 610/615) or Computer Node (MicroSCADA Pro)
2. IEC 61850 OPC Server
3. IEC 61850 Subnetwork
4. IEC 61850 Device (IEC 61850 IED)
5. Import devices configurations

If you want to connect Device Connection Status events to

device objects at this point, make sure that you have already
created and configured the event objects.

For information on building a substation structure, refer to COM 605, COM 615 HMI
Configuration Manual.

3.2.2. Adding Gateway or Computer Node object

To add a Gateway or Computer Node object:

1. To start building the object tree, add a COM 610/615 Gateway object in the Com-
munication structure by selecting the project name.
2. Right-click the project name and select New > Communication > Gateway, see
Figure 3.2.2-1.

Continue building the object tree in the same way until you have added all the necessary
objects in your current project.

This applies similarly to the MicroSCADA Pro CET.

object tree by adding an IEC 61850 OPC Server object.

To add an IEC 61850 OPC Server object:

1. Select the Gateway object in the Communication structure
2. Right-click the Gateway object.
3. Add an IEC 61850 OPC Server object.

By using the SCL Import function, it is possible to import configurations of an entire

server or individual devices without having to insert them manually.

To open the SCL Import function

1. Click the wanted object.
2. Select Tools > SCL Import.

Connectivity Packages for certain protection and control devices may also support other
ways to build this structure, depending on the configuration of an individual device, for
example device-related object types and wizards. Typically, Connectivity Packages
include SCL description files which need to be installed. For further information on these

3.3.8. Configuring report control blocks

A report control block (RCB) controls the spontaneous event reporting, and the client
can modify report sending behaviour by setting RCB attributes. Buffered Report Control
Blocks (BRCB) and Unbuffered Report Control Blocks (URCB) are supported RCBs.

For BRCB, events issue immediate sending of reports or buffer the events for transmis-
sion, such that data values are not lost due to transport flow control constraints or loss
of connection. For URCB, events issue immediate sending of reports on a best efforts

Protocol (OPC)
3.0 User's Guide

basis. If no association exists or if the transport data flow is not fast enough to support
it, events may be lost.

To allow multiple clients to receive the same data values, multiple instances of the report
control classes need to be made available. Report Enabled and Report Client definitions
are used to specify RCB instances to clients. Report Enabled shows the maximum
number of available RCB instances, and Report Client dedicates an instance to a client
(see Report Control Identity in Table 3.3.2-1). All configured RCBs without IEC 61850
OPC Server specified instances are discarded.

Report Clients’ order specifies the RCB instance to be used and the RCB name. IEC
61850 OPC Server builts the RCB instance name to type RCBName<xx>. Each RCB
instance takes on the values from 01 to 99 as <xx>, for example the first Report Client
uses RCBName01. The naming convention can also be overriden by removing the Report
Enabled element. Now the RCBName is used as it is.

The control attribute values are received from the imported device configuration. Some
values can be overriden with the IEC 61850 OPC Server configuration.

• Buffer Time
Controls the time interval in milliseconds when the BRCB buffers the events for
inclusion into a single report. Overridable.
• Buffered
Controls RCB to to buffered (true) or unbuffered (false). Must be true for BRCB.
• Configuration Revision
Represents the number of times that the configuration of the RCB has changed.
• Data Set
Specifies the data set being monitored and what values are reported.
• Integrity period
If this is set to integrity (>0), it indicates the period in milliseconds used for gener-
ating an integrity report. An integrity report shall report the values of all members
of the related data set. Overridable.
• Report ID
Report identifier is the BRCB’s client-specified report identifier. Report identifier
generates the report.
• Option Fields
Client specified optional fields to be included in the report issued by BRCB. This
attribute defines the optional header fields’ subset of the report that are included in
the report. Refer to IEC 61850-7-2 and IEC 61850-8-1 standards. The IEC 61850
OPC Server uses a default value for option fields to receive the necessary information
for event updates and event flow control (cannot be overriden): BRCB (Sequence
Number, Reason Code, Buffer Overflow, Entry ID), URCB (Sequence Number,
Reason Code). Overridable.
• Trigger Options
Specifies the trigger conditions which BRCB monitores. The following values are
defined: Data Change(dchg), Quality Change(qchg), Data Update(dupd), Period.

5. Technical reference

5.1. About this section

This document describes how IEC-61850 data objects according to IEC-61850-7-3 are
mapped to OPC nodes and item tags.

In general it is done by using an OPC node to represent an IEC-61850 object, and OPC
item tags to represent the attributes of the object. Most objects are single-level (i.e. use
only on node) but some are hierarchical and use several nodes.

This section provides reference information about the following issues:

• IEC 61850 data object modelling
• IEC 61850 OPC Server data object modelling
• Attributes
• Status codes

5.2. IEC 61850 OPC server data object modeling

5.2.1. Common data attribute types

The relationship between IEC 61850 data models and the LON OPC Server is described
in this section.

For each data class, there is a table giving a detailed description about the relation between
the LON data and the IEC 61850 data object attributes and services. The tables also
describe how the data is presented on the OPC Server name space.

The columns in the tables have the following content types:

• Name specifies the OPC item name of the attribute or service.
• Type specifies the IEC 61850 type of the attribute.
• Value/Value range specifies the allowed values and ranges of the attribute or service.
• Mandatory/Optional specifies whether the attribute is considered as mandatory or
optional according to the IEC 61850 standard.
• OPC data type specifies the OPC data type used for the OPC item.
• Bit specifies how many bits the attribute takes.
• Description describes the data type and access and gives useful information.

5.2.2. IEC 61850 quality

The table below defines the mapping of quality in MMS (IEC 61850 7-3). Only 14 bits
(LSB) in quality are valid.

DetailQuality = 16d = 00010000b > failure = true

5.2.5. Analogue value (AnalogueValue)

Analogue values are always presented as 32 bit float values (VT_R4) so that the .f and
.i extensions are discarded from the attribute names to simplify the OPC namespace. If
a device only supports integer values, the value is converted to a floating point present-
ation of the value according to its configuration and the following formula, refer to
5.2.6, Configuration of analogue value (ScaledValueConfig).

5.3.5. Transparent XSAT

The Transparent XSAT attribute can be used to read and write IEC 61850 attributes,
which are not configured to the OPC namespace of the IEC 61850 OPC Server. For
example, the transparent XSAT attribute can be used for setting group controlling. The
Transparent XSAT attribute is used through an OPC client. The attribute uses the OPC
data type BSTR, which is a variant of VT_BSTR data type.

The Transparent XSAT attribute passes on request the IEC 61850 servers and their
attributes outside the IEC 61850 OPC servers namespace. The IEC 61850 OPC server
does not check the outgoing attributes. Therefore the IEC 61850 OPC clients which are
using the Transparent XSAT attribute know what attributes they are accessing. The
Transparent XSAT attribute only supports read and write requests.

The Transparent XSAT attribute uses synchronic data access in the IEC 61850 OPC
server. When an IEC 61850 OPC client writes a request, the IEC 61850 OPC server
parses and sends the request to the IEC 61850 server.

The Transparent XSAT attribute returns and releases the request after it has received
reply from the IEC 61850 server. The reply is written in the Transparent XSAT attribute
as an XSAT string.

XSAT Read Request

Attribute Data Type Unknown

The attribute’s data type is not known, because it is not included in the IEC 61850 OPC
Server configuration (SCL). The Transparent XSAT attribute asks first the required data
type, before reading the data from an IEC 61850 server.

If the Transparent XSAT attribute receives a success message, the data type is saved. If
the Transparent XSAT attribute receives an error message, an XSAT error string is send
to the IEC 61850 OPC client.

The IEC 61850 OPC server request for the data type with a ReadVariableData service
and results are written in the Transparent XSAT attribute as an XSAT string. The XSAT
string contains success and error messages.

Attribute Data Type Known

The attribute data type is known from a previous request or the attribute is included in
the IEC 61850 OPC Server configuration (SCL). The IEC 61850 OPC server directly
uses a ReadVariableData service to complete the request. The reply message is written
in the Transparent XSAT attribute as an XSAT string. The XSAT string contains success
and error messages.

XSAT Write Request

Attribute Data Type Unknown

The attribute’s data type is not known, because it is not included in the IEC 61850 OPC

If the Transparent XSAT attribute receives a success message, the data type is saved. If
the Transparent XSAT attribute receives a error message, an XSAT error string is sent
to the IEC 61850 OPC client.

The IEC 61850 OPC server requests for the data type with a WriteVariableData service
and results are written in the Transparent XSAT attribute as an XSAT string. The XSAT
string contains success and error messages.

Attribute Data Type Known

The attribute data type is known from a previous request or the attribute is included in

5.4. IEC 61850 File transfer

5.4.1. General about IEC 61850 File Transfer

This section defines how the IEC 61850 file transfer services between the IEC 61850

92
1MRS755321 COM 600 Station Automation Series IEC 61850 Master
Protocol (OPC)
User's Guide 3.0

to pass files through OPC, the IEC 61850 OPC Server is used as a file storage. The
received and sent files are stored locally in the computer running the OPC server.

File transfer services are controlled by an OPC DA client through the OPC attributes
under the IED\Attributes\File transfer node. For more information about the file transfer
attributes, refer to 5.4.2, File Transfer attributes.

The supported file transfer services are GetFile, SetFile, DeleteFile, GetFileAttributes,
GetFileAttributesEx, RenameFile and Cancel. For more information about the file
transfer services, refer to 5.4.3, File Transfer services.

Make sure that the devices support the file transfer services.

5.4.3. File Transfer services

The file transfer services are controlled through the OPC DA attributes, see Table 5.4.2-
1. To initiate a service, first the required parameters are written to respective OPC
attributes and then the service is started by writing the service control code to the file
transfer control attribute.

The file transfer control attribute uses synchronous data access for OPC. When an OPC
client writes a service request, the corresponding IEC 61850 file transfer service on the

94
1MRS755321 COM 600 Station Automation Series IEC 61850 Master
Protocol (OPC)
User's Guide 3.0

device is called. When the service is finished or an error occurs, the OPC request is
released.

The status of the latest service is available in the Status attribute. After a service is started,
the status changes to the specific service status code. If the service is completed succes-
fully, the status code is set to Ready (see Table 5.4.4-2). For more information about
service failure status codes, refer to Table 5.4.4-3 and Table 5.4.4-4. Only one service
can be called at a time.

GetFile

You can copy a specified file from a remote device to the local file storage with the
GetFile service. Through IEC 61850, this is done in three phases. First, the remote file
is opened, then read, and finally closed. Remote file parameters identify the remote file.
During this operation, the Status, Received bytes and File size in bytes attributes are
updated as the file is moved (in max MMS message size parts). The copied file is renamed
and placed to the local file storage according to local file parameters.

Required parameters: Remote file name

Remote file directory

Local file name

SetFile

The SetFile service initiates the remote device to obtain a file from the local file storage
to the remote file storage. The service triggers an IEC 61850 device to call the IEC 61850
clients GetFile service and during this, the IEC 61850 client acts as a file server. During
this operation, the Status, Received bytes and File size in bytes attributes are updated as
the file is moved (in max MMS message size parts). The local file parameters identify
the local file and the copied file is placed to the remote file storage according to remote
file parameters.

Required parameters: Remote file name

Remote file directory

Local file name

Local file directory

Control code: 5
Service status codes: 1500

1520

1540

Failure status codes: 94xx
The remote file name: Remote file directory + Remote file name
The local file name: Local file directory + Local file name

DeleteFile

You can delete a file from the remote file storage with the DeleteFile service.

Required parameters: Remote file name

Remote file directory

Control code: 6
Service status codes: 1600
Failure status codes: 96xx
The remote file name: Remote file directory + Remote file name

Cancel

You can cancel the current service with the Cancel service. The Cancel service sets the
status to Ready and clears for the following attribute values: File size in bytes, Received
bytes and Status.

5.4.4. File Transfer service codes

Status codes can be read from the Status attribute. The status indicates the current service
status and the service result.
Table 5.4.4-1 Service control codes
0 Cancel
1 GetFile
2 GetFileAttributeValues
3 GetFileAttributeValuesEx
4 Rename File
5 SetFile
6 DeleteFile

In the service status codes, the first number indicates success (1) or failure (9). The
second number indicates currently requested service (0 - 6). If a local service is requested
in multiple parts for the remote device, the third number indicates the currently called
remote service (1 - 3). The fourth number gives a detailed failure code (0 - 3).

Example:

9601 = parameters error, remote file delete error

9123 = remote service error, remote file read error

The failure status code indicates a failure in requested service. The failure status code
can also include a more detailed error code indicating the failure type, which can be local
or remote failure (see Table 5.4.4-3).
Table 5.4.4-3 Failure
9000 Unspecified error
9100 Remote file open error
9120 Remote file read error

9560 Error in remote closing local file
9600 Remote file delete error

Table 5.4.4-4 Failure details

0 No error details
1 Service parameters error (user error)

Reason: required name attribute is empty

Recovery: check the attribute values and try again

2 Local service error (IEC 61850 OPC Server internal error)

Reason: not connected, too much network traffic, etc.

Recovery: check connection and try again

3 Remote service error (remote device error)

Reason: remote device is not supporting service, wrong parameters, no such file, con-
nection failed, etc.

Recovery: check remote device services support, check parameters (file names), check
connection and try again
