1.1 Overview GUID-D48401DA-0FB0-424F-BB2A-C028BA3FBF0D v1
The data model of the system is created when operator user interface views are created with
the View Builder. This model specifies how the objects and their properties are organized in a
hierarchical functional data structure that is used for accessing data from the views. When the
View Builder is launched, a model is created or updated from the process object information
with specified rules.
Figure 1 shows the high level concept of the functional structure.

Data model
1.2 Addressing data from views GUID-F2B9AC91-4021-4CCE-A775-1BC2CCBC5EF6 v1
Data from the functional structure is addressed from the views using cda namespace.
Figure 3: cda namespace
Topic
Topic specifies the source namespace. Following topics are defined:
• Domain: used for most of the process data, for example, switch positions and
measurements.
• Alarm: used for information related to alarms.
• Control: used for control related information, for example, circuit breaker open/close or
tap changer raise/lower control request status updates.
Object Reference
Object Reference is the part of the address that specifies the equipment or equipment
container where the data is related. In the example, it specifies the circuit breaker
AA1.C1.Q01.QA1.
Data Point Type
Data point type specifies the semantical data point type of data point. In the example, the type
is switch_position which specifies that the data point value contains the switch position state
as an integer value with agreed values for switch open, closed, intermediate and faulty
position. There are pre-defined data point types that are specified for different equipment
types. These can be found from the tables in Appendix A. More information about data point
type and related data point group concept are in data point types and groups chapter.
When a data point is subscribed to a view, the server sends the data point data structure
containing a value, timestamp, and quality. A detailed description of the data point data
structure can be found from Appendix B.
Besides the built-in value, timestamp and quality attributes of a data point structure, it is
possible to subscribe to additional attributes related to a data point. For example, alarm,
blocking, measurement limit value and authorization information. These are addressed using
slash notation.

Section 1 1MRS257946 A
Data model
Figure 4: Additional Attribute

In Figure 4, information about the alarm state is addressed. The response will return FALSE
when the alarm is inactive and TRUE when the alarm is active for the switch position data
point. List of supported additional attributes are listed in Appendix C.
There are exceptions when data point data structure is not used. For example, the control
inhibit reason information has a structure that contains a list of reasons that prevents control.
The used data structure for each data point type and an additional attribute is documented in
Appendix A and Appendix C.
1.3 Data point types and groups GUID-6D58ABF6-8AE2-483C-AD5E-0589B6E03900 v1
Data point types are organized to data point groups and these data point groups collect the
data point types that logically belong together. For example, Tap changer automatic
operation group contains data point types that are related to tap changer automatic
operation. Data point groups are not visible in the addressing of the data. Data point groups
are used to ease the engineering and to document whether certain group/feature is
supported by the functional structure object or the product. Some groups are shared for many
types of equipment, for example, all switching device equipment (circuit breaker,
disconnector, truck and so on) share the Switch basic group.
Data point groups and data point types in the groups are classified as mandatory, default or
optional. For example, for circuit breaker equipment the Switch basic group is mandatory, but
Auto-reclosing as optional. Within the Switch basic group, the switch_position data point
type is mandatory, but the group_alarm_state is optional.

Following tables describe the predefined data point types for supported equipments and
