1. Introduction
1
Introduction has the following topics:
• Overview of the application
• Key features
• Environment
1.1 Overview of the IEC 61850 Client Interface Module

IEC 61850 Client interface module in SYNC provides connectivity for SCADA or for the tools
supporting IEC 618+50. SYNC obtains the data from various end slave devices using different
IEC 61850 client interface modules and transfers the data to different slave protocol modules
corresponding to the user mapping. This document provides the details of the master or client
interface along with the configuration and interoperability details.
1.2 Key Features

• Integration of many IEDs/ slave devices that have IEC 61850 to other protocols supported
by SCADA or by end applications
• Can act as data concentrator for IEC 61850
• Supports transparent channel functionality for using the custom parameterization tools
• Easy to configure and install IEC 61850 client even in a complex communication network
1.3 Environment
The ‘EasyConnect’ configuration utility helps completes configuration of the protocol gateways..
This section specifies the hardware and software requirements to run ‘EasyConnect’ configuration
utility.

Table 2: Software Requirements

2. Getting Started
2
This section provides information on the initial tasks performed to work with the application. The
following topics are covered:
• Application set up and configuration
• Starting IEC 61850 module inside protocol gateways
2.1 Application Setup and Configuration

Configuration of IEC 61850 client is done using the configuration tool ‘EasyConnect’. ICD file
needs to be obtained for the device which is going to be connected with the gateway through
a 61850 interface. ICD file provides complete description of the server capabilities including
different logical devices, nodes, and different control blocks like RCBs. The ICD file needs to be
provided as input file for EasyConnect for creating the profiles and mapping them in EasyConnect.
EasyConnect will enable user to configure the required tags that need to be involved in the
conversion. User needs to configure the tags required in the master profile and map these IEC
61850 tags to data point of other slave protocols. After completing the configurations, the final.
xml file can be saved and downloaded to the Protocol Gateway which uses the same while
running the protocol conversion engine. The details of EasyConnect configuration are explained
in section 3.2.
2.2 Starting IEC 61850 Module Inside the Gateways

When powered on, SYNC will automatically start the Protocol Conversion engine. The Protocol
Conversion engine takes the loaded configuration file as input and starts the corresponding
configured channels. This will enable the external IEC 61850 server to communicate with the
client using the communication parameters. The details of the communication can be viewed
using the ‘packet diagnostics’ option in EasyConnect.

3. IEC 61850 Client Protocol Stack
3
The following topics are covered under this section:
• Overview of the IEC 61850 Client Protocol Stack
• Create configuration file
• Download configuration file
• Restart IEC 61850 Client interface module
3.1 Overview of IEC 61850 Client Protocol Stack

IEC 61850 Client module in SYNC supports the different object modeling and data mapping
as per the IEC 61850 standards. The following Figure1 provides the details of the different
components available in the IEC 61850 server module that connects with the client.
Figure 1: Components of IEC 61850 server
3.2 Create Configuration File

The configuration of any protocol interface module in SYNC is possible with EasyConnect
configuration utility. The entire configuration for a Master or Client protocol is divided into three
main sections namely: Channel, Nodes and Profile. Similarly the slave and server protocol
configuration can be divided into Channel, Node and Mapping. The following steps explain
how to configure a IEC 61850 Client interface module for any SYNC model. The parameters in
different sections of configuration are explained in Chapter 4.

The configuration of 61850 client starts with the addition of the 61850 client channel (option
available under peer channels) and nodes under the channel. The details of creating configuration
files are explained in the SYNC software user manualand the EasyConnect help. After adding
the profile, users need to complete the tags that come under the profile. This is done by clicking
on ‘Add Row’ button which will allow the user to enter the ‘Ldevice’ and ‘Lnode’. The user can
choose the required tags to be included under the profile by selecting the same and choosing
‘Save’ option. Details of the Ldevice and tags will only be available if user chooses suitable SCL
File under the node configuration. The details of tag configuration is given below in Figure 2.
The added 61850 client profile rows can be mapped to any other slave protocols depending
on the requirement. Refer SYNC software user manual/ EasyConnect help for the details of
mapping.
Figure 2: Adding tags under Profile
3.3 Download Configuration File

The configuration file must be downloaded into the SYNC to use the parameters as entered
through EasyConnect. The details are provided in the SYNC User Manual.
3.4 Restart IEC 61850 Client Interface Module

The IEC 61850 Client interface must be restarted to get the effect of the downloaded configuration
file. The details are given in the SYNC User Manual.

EasyConnect configuration utility. More details on auto mapping are available in the SYNC User
Manual.
IEC 61850 Client profile points of same ‘ Basic Type’ are grouped into the Auto Map window.
Also, tags of a single group will be mapped only if sufficient points exist in the corresponding
internal slave.

5. IEC 61850 Miscellaneous Features
The chapter on IEC 61850 Client miscellaneous features covers the following topics:
• Configuring SNTP Client/ Server
• Configuring GOOSE Publisher
• File upload trigger
5.1 Configuring SNTP Client/ Server

SNTP Client is required to synchronize SYNC with an external time source supporting SNTP.
SNTP Server is required for synchronizing external devices from SYNC through SNTP. Any/Both
the options can be obtained by adding corresponding SNTP channel, which is done by right
clicking the model name and adding the corresponding channel.

5.2 Configuring GOOSE Publisher

As GOOSE publisher has a server functionality which is not available in the IEC 61850 client
node, this needs to be configured separately. The GOOSE publisher will behave similar to any
other slave node inside SYNC and points inside the same can be mapped from any of the
configured masters. The configuration of the GOOSE publisher involves the following steps for
configuration.
1. Add GOOSE publisher node under the IEC 61850 client channel. This is done by right clicking
on the IEC 61850 channel and choosing the GOOSE publisher addition option.
2. Add the Mapping (as explained in the SYNC user manual)

Figure 3: IEC 61850 Slave:Add Map
3. Add GOOSE Control Block. Select Publisher node.Click on the “Add GCB” option available in
the right pane. A new GCB window will come. Fill the parameters and Click on Save.

5.3 File Upload Trigger

The Files in each node/ iec61850 server device can be uploaded upon receiving a command
from an external master. Upon receiving a command, a file upload command will be triggered for
the specific node to which the command point is mapped. A default profile row is provided for file
upload named as File Upload Trigger and this will be a Digital Output. This service can be make
use for getting disturbance file or log files from external 61850 server devices.
