Creating an application configuration with ACT

5.1.1

Overview

ACT is used to create the application configuration for an IED. The application configuration is
built up with function blocks.
Function blocks are dedicated for different functionality, for example:
• Preprocessing blocks
• Control related functions
• Protection related functions
• Monitoring functions
• Communication
Some function blocks are mapped as logical nodes according to the IEC 61850 standard. See the
IEC 61850 communication protocol manual for detailed information. Other function blocks are not
mapped as logical nodes, for example:
• Logical gates
• Timers
The basic general features of the Application configuration tool ACT:
• Organization of an application configuration
•
•
• Features to program an application configuration:
•
•
•

Protection and control engineering

For detailed information about function blocks see the technical manual and the
application manual.
Organize an application configuration into a number of logical parts (MainApplication).
Organize a MainApplication over a number of pages.
Insert function blocks, make connections and create variables.
Include the hardware IO channels directly in the application configuration.
Set function blocks and signal visibility to SMT and PST.
SMT is not supporting signals of integer type or group signals. So, even if
these types of signals are set as visible for SMT, they will not be shown in
SMT.
Document the application configuration, for example to make printouts.
