Generation/Export of a Device Specific ICD File
Each Eaton IEC 61850 capable device includes a description of its own functionality and communications skills in the
form of an IED Capability Description (*.ICD) file. This file can be exported as follows and be used for the configuration
of the substation.
1. Connect the device with your PC/Notebook.
2. Start PowerPort E.
3. Click on » Receive data from Device« in the » Device« menu .
4. Click on » IEC 61850« in the » Device Para« menu .
5. Click on the ICD icon in the IEC 61850 window.
6. Select a drive and file name for the ICD file and click "save".
7. Repeat the steps 1 to 6 for all connected devices in this IEC 61850 environment.
Generation/Export of a SCD file
Each device can create an export it's own functionality and communications skills in form of a *.SCD file.
1. Connect the device with your PC/Notebook.
2. Start Power-Port-E.
3. Click on » Receive data from Device« in the menu » Device«.
4. Click on » IEC61850« in the menu » Device Para«.
5. Click on the SCD icon in the IEC61850 window.
6. Select a drive and file name for the SCD file and click "save".
7. Repeat the steps 1 to 6 for all connected devices in this IEC61850 environment.
Generation of a Substation Configuration Description (SCD) File
The substation configuration (i. e. connection of all logical nodes of protection and control devices) as well as switch
gear usually is done with a "Substation Configuration Tool". Therefore the ICD files of all connected IEDs in the IEC
61850 environment have to be available. The result of the station wide "software wiring" can be exported in the form of
a Station Configuration Description (SCD) file.
Suitable Substation Configuration Tools (SCT) are available by the following Companies:
H&S, Hard- & Software Technologie GmbH & Co. KG, Dortmund (Germany) (www.hstech.de).
Applied Systems Engineering Inc. (www.ase-systems.com)
Kalki Communication Technologies Limited (www.kalkitech.com)
A change of the devices parameters has an influence on the content
