Figure 5: Relation between system and IED tools
Regardless of the engineering approach, the idea is that the IED tool provides the
CID or ICD file for each IED. These ICD/CID files are then imported into the
system tool and merged into a SCD file, representing the complete substation or a
part of the substation, like one for each voltage level.
