CHAPTER 5: SETTINGS
Create CID and settings files
When the Save button is clicked in the online IEC 61850 window, UR Setup software prepares a configured IED description
(CID) file containing all the settings of the UR and sends the CID file to the G60. Upon receipt, the G60 checks the CID file for
correctness, going out of service, then back into service when the CID file is accepted. The software displays a message
when the G60 is running the new settings, confirming successful transfer. This process can take a minute or so due to the
amount of processing required by the software and the G60.
Certain settings not related to IEC 61850 are indicated in this instruction manual as taking effect only when the device is
restarted, for example using the Maintenance > Reboot Relay Command in the software.
When the Save button is clicked in the offline IEC 61850 window, UR Setup software saves to local storage, for example the
hard drive, a .urs file containing all settings of the UR.
View IID/CID files
The file types are described as follows:
• IID — Instantiated IED capability description file — Actual settings on UR
• CID — Configured IED description file — Settings sent to the UR (may or may not contain the present settings)
IID and CID files are viewable. For example, after modifying settings in the IEC 61850 panels and clicking Developer IID/
CID Viewer in the software, a CID file generates and an SCL Viewer shows the updated CID file content. There are no edit
or save functions; use instead the Back Up and Restore Settings instructions later in this document to save the files.
Searches are case insensitive.
Server configuration
The Server Configuration panel contains IEC 61850 settings relevant to the server functions of the IED implementation.
The path is Settings > Product Setup > Communications > IEC 61850 > Server Configuration.
The following settings are available, where <iedName> is a syntactic variable representing the present value of the IED
NAME setting.
IED NAME
Range: 1 to 58 VisibleString characters
Default: TEMPLATE
The value entered sets the IED name used by IEC 61850 for the G60. An IED name unique within the network must be
entered for proper operation. Valid characters are upper and lowercase letters, digits, and the underscore (_) character.
The first character must be a letter.
