About this section

This section guides you in the engineering tasks required before using SPA-ZC 402.
For more information on the IEC 61850 data modeling, refer to the IEC 61850
standards listed in Section 1.8. Related documents.
Note that all the possible engineering scenarios are not included in
this manual. You must have engineering rights to be able to perform
the tasks described in this section.

Overview of engineering

The engineering and maintenance of SPA-ZC 402 is done by using the
Communication Engineering Tool (CET). The device's communication structure is
described in the Project Explorer dialog. The structure is built by using device
objects. These objects have communication properties that can be accessed via the
Object Properties dialog. These properties define for example the IP addresses, unit
addresses, descriptions etc.
The process data accessible on devices is modeled according to the IEC 61850
standard. In the communication structure this is seen as logical devices (LD), logical
nodes (LN), data objects (DO) and their data attributes (DA). The data model is
imported from the pre-configured object types of devices, which have the objects
defined and configured. These object types are defined in the standardized IED
Connectivity Packages. The data model can also be created manually by using CET
functions.
When the structure is complete and all the objects have been set up properly the
configuration is downloaded via FTP to SPA-ZC 402 by using the CID (Configured
IED Description) Export function.
The engineering work can be divided into four separate tasks:
1. Building an object tree according to the IEC 61850 data model by importing the
Connectivity Package or by adding the IEC 61850 data objects manually to the
configuration.
2. Configuring object properties, for example adding mapping to the SPA
references in the IED (Intelligent Electronic Device).
3. Configuring communication addresses.
4. Exporting the configuration data to SPA-ZC 402 and to the IEC 61850 system
configuration tool.
