6. Move down to the next cell (RP1 Baud Rate). This cell controls the baud rate to be used. Six baud rates are
supported by the IED 1200 bits/s, 2400 bits/s, 4800 bits/s, 9600 bits/s, 19200 bits/s and 38400 bits/s. Make
sure that the baud rate selected on the IED is the same as that set on the master station.
7. Move down to the next cell (RP1 Parity). This cell controls the parity format used in the data frames. The
parity can be set to be one of None, Odd or Even. Make sure that the parity format selected on the IED is
the same as that set on the master station.
8. Move down to the next cell (Modbus IEC Time). This cell controls the order in which the bytes of information
are transmitted. There is a choice of Standard or Reverse. When Standard is selected the time format
complies with IEC 60870-5-4 requirements such that byte 1 of the information is transmitted first, followed
by bytes 2 through to 7. If Reverse is selected the transmission of information is reversed.

IEC 61850 CONFIGURATION

You cannot configure the device for IEC 61850 edition 1 using the HMI panel on the product. For this you must use
the IEC 61850 Configurator, which is part of the settings application software. If the device is compatible with
edition 2, however, you can configure it with the HMI. To configure IEC61850 edition 2 using the HMI, you must first
enable the IP From HMI setting, after which you can set the media (copper or fibre), IP address, subnet mask and
gateway address.
IEC 61850 allows IEDs to be directly configured from a configuration file. The IED's system configuration
capabilities are determined from an IED Capability Description file (ICD), supplied with the product. By using ICD
files from the products to be installed, you can design, configure and test (using simulation tools), a substation's
entire protection scheme before the products are installed into the substation.
To help with this process, the settings application software provides an IEC 61850 Configurator tool, which allows
the pre-configured IEC 61850 configuration file to be imported and transferred to the IED. As well as this, you can
manually create configuration files for all products, based on their original IED capability description (ICD file).
Other features include:
● The extraction of configuration data for viewing and editing.
A sophisticated error checking sequence to validate the configuration data before sending to the IED.
