• SSD - System Specification Description: used during the specification stage of a
system to define physical equipment, connections between physical equipment,
and Logical Nodes which will be used by each piece of equipment.
• ICD - IED Capability Description: this is provided by the communication equipment
vendor to specify the features of the equipment and the data model published by
the equipment. Each of the devices in the network has an ICD file which describes
all of the information about the device, for example, IP address on the network and
Com ports. The (vendor supplied) ICD variation of the SCL file contains a Commu-
nication section specifying the lower-layer selectors and default addressing and
also an IED section containing the data model of the device. See E.2.3.2: Configur-
ing the Meter on the IEC 61850 Network on page E-21, for information on the
Shark® 200 meter's .icd file.
• SCD - System Configuration Description: a complete description of the configured
automation system including all devices (for example, meters, breakers, and
relays) and all needed inter-device communications (for example, the measured
parameters and the actions to be performed, such as turning on a relay when a
certain reading is obtained). It can also include elements of the SSD file. The SCD
file is created by a System Configurator, which is a software application that takes
the information from the various devices along with other configuration parameters
and generates the SCD file.
• CID - Configured IED Description: the file used to configure an individual device. It
is a pure subset of the SCD file. The device may also have a CID file, which is a
smaller subset of the devices ICD file. The CID file describes the exact settings for
the device in this particular IEC 61850 network. The Shark® 200 meter's IEC
61850 Protocol Ethernet Network card uses a CID file. See E.2.3.2: Configuring the
Meter on the IEC 61850 Network on page E-21, for information on uploading the
Shark® 200 meter's .cid file.
Each type of SCL file has different required elements with only the prologue and
Header element required in every file type.

E.1.2.1: Elements of an IEC 61850 Network

• A physical device has a name (IEDname) and consists of one or more AccessPoints.
• An AccessPoint has an IP address and consists of one or more Logical Devices
