1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
ERL 61850 IED Configurator (also referred to simply as “Configurator” in this
document) is used for the configuration of IEC 61850 enabled ERL IEDs.
The software features an easy-to-use user interface which provides the ability
to configure GOOSE Control Blocks, Report Control Blocks, DataSets and
Sampled Value Control Blocks.
Configurator allows the user to map GOOSE and SMV data to subscription
data points in ERL IEDs. Users may also import IEDs from other vendors for
mapping data to ERL IEDs.
IEC 61850-6 defines the Substation Configuration Language (SCL), which is
based on the eXtensible Markup Language (XML). IEC 61850-6 also defines
the Engineering Process in which System Configuration Tools and IED Con-
figuration Tools work together with IEDs from multiple vendors. Configurator
serves as an IED Configuration Tool, as defined in IEC 61850-6.
As part of this Engineering Process, many types of SCL files are defined which
have different purposes (see “Glossary” on page 1-2). Configurator supports
importing and exporting the following types of SCL files:
• ICD
• CID
• IID
• SCD (import only, only fully supported for Edition 2.0 ERL IEDs)
Configurator is designed to work as a part of the Engineering Process and is
interoperable with other IEC 61850 enabled devices from other vendors.

1.3 Layout
The ERL 61850 IED Configurator user interface has a split window based lay-
out. The tool also users to create, edit and save projects. The project can be
opened and edited in the Configurator and is saved as a binary file with a
unique extension. Files with this extension can be opened and edited in Con-
figurator.
Figure 1.3: Configurator Screen
The ERL 61850 IED Configurator user interface layout contains four parts as
shown in the table below.

3 Configurations Editor
The Configuration Editor contains four tabs: Properties, Subscription Map-
ping, StartUp and IED Configuration. These four tabs are described in detail in
the following sections.
3.1 Properties
Each IED added to a project has a set of properties. These include Name, Type,
Manufacturer, Description, ICD File Version, Edition and Network settings.
Figure 3.1: IED Properties setup screen
The IP Address, Gateway and Subnet Mask correspond to the network settings
of the ERL IED. All ftp related operations of an IED use these settings.
Frequency For certain ERL IEDs, the Properties screen also contains a Frequency setting
Setting as shown below. This setting must match the system frequency of the IED be-
fore loading the CID to the unit.
Figure 3.2: Frequency setting on Properties screen

3.2 Subscription Mapping

The Subscription Mapping screen is divided into two tabs: GOOSE Mapping
and Sampled Value Mapping.
GOOSE The GOOSE Mapping tab allows the user to map the desired data from the
Mapping GOOSE publishers to 61850 subscription inputs of the selected IED.
Figure 3.3: GOOSE Mapping Configuration
In the GOOSE Publication section the display is in the following format:
Table 3.1: GOOSE Publication Display Format
Level Definition Example from Figure 3.3
1 <SubNetwork> ERL1
..2 <IEDName> TESLA4000_S_2
....3 <AccessPoint> A1
......4 <LogicalDeviceName>.<GOOSE Name> RCD.RecordTriggers
........5 <Dataset> RecordTriggers
..........6 <LogicalDeviceName>/<FCD>or<FCDA> RCD/ANALOGRADR1$ST$ChTrg
In the GOOSE Subscription-Mapping section, the publisher IED's GOOSE sta-

tus data can be dragged and dropped from the GOOSE publisher’s FCDA level
into the subscriber's GOOSE Input list to establish the mapping association be-
tween publisher and subscriber.
Some ERL IEDs contain multiple LDs and LNs which support GOOSE Sub-
scription inputs. There is drop-down box labeled “Mapped to” in the GOOSE
Subscription section which allows for selection of the mapping destination.
Ensure that the desired subscription LN is selected from the drop-down before
performing mapping.
The user can browse through the GOOSE publication to identify the desired
data item then drag it and drop on the desired 61850 input on the GOOSE Sub-
scription Mapping section.

Figure 3.4: GOOSE Data Mapping
Remove the mapping of a data item by right-clicking the mapped data item and
using the function Remove Mapping. Multiple points may be selected by using
the Shift key to quickly remove many mapped data points.
Figure 3.5: Remove a Mapping from the list by right clicking on selected items
Highlight mapping present in the SCD file

In the GOOSE Publication window on the GOOSE mapping tab, there is a
check-box labeled “Highlight mapping present in the SCD file”. This feature
is used to help the user complete the mapping defined by the System Configu-
ration Tool as part of the Engineering Process. When the check-box is enabled,
all of the data in the GOOSE publication window is greyed off except for the
data which has been mapped by a System Configuration Tool. This helps the
user to easily identify which data needs to be mapped to internal GOOSE sub-
scription inputs.
Note: Edition 1.0 ERL IEDs which have been imported to a project
via SCD file import will be greyed off and unusable. Edition 2.0 ERL
IEDs are compatible with SCD import.

Figure 3.6: Highlight Mapping Present in the SCD File
ExtRef
In order for mapping to be performed by a third-party System Configuration
Tool (see Figure 1.2: SCL File Types and Relations (based on IEC 61850-6
Edition 2) on page 1-2), the subscriber’s CID file must contain “ExtRef” in-
puts. There is one ExtRef available per GOOSE Virtual Input. When the Ex-
tRef is enabled for a GOOSE Virtual Input, a new ExtRef item is added to the
CID file under the DVI Logical Device, in the Inputs section. Third party Sys-
tem Configuration tools will store mapped data into these ExtRef inputs.
Figure 3.7: ExtRef setting
The ExtRef may be enabled on a per input basis, or it may be enabled for all
inputs using the “Enable All ExtRef” check box.
If a System Configuration Tool is to be used performing GOOSE mapping, the
user should first add the ERL IED to the ERL 61850 Configurator Tool project,
then enable the desired ExtRef, and then export this IED (as ICD, CID or IID)
for use in the System Configuration Tool.
The ExtRef feature is currently only applicable for TESLA 4000-SV Firm-
ware v1.1 and newer. It is currently not used for all other IEDs.

Sampled Value This configuration screen allows the user to map data from a Sampled value
Mapping publication to Sampled Value subscription inputs of the selected IED.
Figure 3.8: Sample value mapping screen
In the Sampled Value Publication section the display is in the following for-
mat:
Table 3.2: SMV Publication Display Format
Level Definition Example from Figure 3.8
1 <SubNetwork> ERL2
.2 <IEDName> VIZMU2
..3 <AccessPoint> ETH_SERVICE
...4 <LogicalDeviceName>.<SMV Control Block> MU01.MSVCB01
.....5 <Dataset> PhsMeas1
.......6 <LogicalDeviceName>/<FCDA> MU01/TCTR1$MX$AmpSV$InstMag$i
The user can browse through the SMV publication to identify the desired data
item then drag it and drop on the desired 61850 input on the SMV Subscription
Mapping section. The user can remove the mapping of a data item by right
clicking the mapped data item and using the function Remove Mapping. Mul-
tiple points may be selected by using the Shift key to quickly remove many
mapped data points.
Subnetwork In order for mapping to be completed, the publisher’s Subnetwork name must
Requirement match the subscriber’s Subnetwork name. Using a System Configuration Tool
or text editor software, ensure that the publisher’s Subnetwork name is the
same as the ERL IED’s Subnetwork name (example: ERL1, ERL2, ERL3 or
ERL4 are the Subnetwork names for TESLA 4000-SV). This requirement ap-
plies to both GOOSE and SMV mapping.
This requirement is currently only enforced for TESLA 4000-SV Firmware

v1.1 and newer. It is currently not enforced for all other IEDs.
