Installation and Commissioning Manual
After completing the data model's construction, you should collect the important
data to datasets in LD0, see Section 4.9. Using Dataset Editor. An IEC 61850-8-1
client can access the datasets in a single read operation and read a large amount of
data attribute values. The datasets are also used for event sending, where one report
control block uses a dataset to link data attributes to event sending. Only the data
linked in the dataset is sent as events to the client, see Section 4.10. Configuring
report control blocks.

Configuring communication parameters

SPA-ZC 402 communication parameters are located in the Device Properties.
SPA-ZC 402 uses static IP addresses, which have to be defined in the planned
network structure, see Fig. 4.8.-1.
• IP Address
IP address identifies SPA-ZC 402 in Local Area Network (LAN). All
communication via SPA-ZC 402 uses this address. The default value is
192.0.2.10 and it has to be changed to a unique address according to the planned
network structure.
• Default Gateway
This IP address defines the gateway's address, which forwards IP traffic between
the local subnet and outside world. The default value is 192.0.2.1 and it has to be
changed according to the planned network structure.
• Subnet Mask
This address defines which addresses have access to the default gateway.
• SNTP Servers
SPA-ZC 402 uses SNTP for its own realtime clock. Time is used for
synchronizing IED with SPA time synchronization and for analog event time
stamping. One SNTP Server has to exist in the accessible network, otherwise
SPA-ZC 402 event time stamping is not working properly. The secondary SNTP
server is used, if the primary SNTP server for some reason drops from the
network.
• Time Zone Correction
Due to the SNTP time synchronization, a time offset must be added to the SPA
time synchronization message depending on the time zone. It affects the IED
HMI event list and analog event time stamping. The value is minutes between -
720 and 720 and it is comparable to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
• OSI addresses are read-only and they are always the same. The IEC 61850-8-1
client uses these addresses to access SPA-ZC 402 over MMS.
