RA24 File Glossary

3.1.1

1S24.cid

This XML file is interpreted by the RA24 every time it powers up to determine all nodes the RA24 will
support, the explicit Goose and Report datasets this RA24 will output, and optionally set initial values of
some configuration items. It also contains some private SystemCorp extensions. The IP address quoted
in this file must match an IP address already configured on the RA24. It is used to select whether the
RJ45 or Fibre ports are used for IEC61850. It is loaded onto A:\ drive using FTP. There are two .icd files
that can be downloaded from Reyrolle website. Descriptions of both files are provided below:
3.1.1.1 1S24.ICD
The 1S24.cid can be used as-is on the RA24 and has a default set of 16 separate Goose messages,
one for each FADet point with stVal and Quality included in the Goose. However, The IP address within
this file, must match the IP Address configured on the RA24
3.1.1.2 1S24-bare.icd
The 1S24-bare.icd has an ICD extension as it is intended for importing into site configuration tools which
can add specific Goose to it (with whatever VLAN, Versioning etc. required). The Tool can then export a
CID file for use on the RA24. Please Note: On the RA24 itself, it must be called 1S24.cid.
3.1.2

sarc.exe

This file contains the runtime application code for the RA24 arc sensor. This executable includes the
SystemCorp IEC6180 stack and all the RMS firmware. It is usually run at start-up by autoexec.bat. It is
loaded onto A:\ drive using FTP.
3.1.3

test.exe

This file contains the test code for the RA24 hardware. It includes RMS test firmware. It is run
manually on the command line, usually by the test-jig. 1S24.exe must not be running already, so an
autoexec.bat that doesn't include 1S24.exe is required. Test.exe does not have to be removed after
testing, it can remain on the A:\ drive. It is loaded onto A:\ drive using FTP.
3.1.4

PIS10.key

This is the special license key file required by the SystemCorp stack (see 1S24.exe) to allow it to run.
A different key file is required for each BECK chip and is keyed to the Serial Number on the BECK
chip.
Note that RMS production versions of the stack will not require a PIS10.key, but only BECK-IEC chips
bought direct from BECK by RMS will allow this configuration. Others will require a specific key file.
Some key files are located in:
