CHAPTER 5: SETTINGS
IED NAME
Range: 1 to 64 VisibleString characters
Default: TEMPLATE
The value entered sets the IED name used by IEC 61850 for the C30. 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.
Master functional ldName
Range: 0 to 64 VisibileString characters
Default:
The Master logical device contains the UR logical nodes modelling communications and setting group control. Valid
characters are upper and lowercase letters, digits, and the underscore (_) character. If the number of characters entered
is greater than zero, this setting sets the name used in communications for the Master logical device. If an ldName is
entered, a name unique within the network must be entered for proper operation. The standard recommends choosing
this name according to IEC 81346-1. If the number of characters entered is zero, the name used in communications for
the Master logical device is "<iedName>Master", where <iedName> is the value of setting IED NAME described earlier.
Throughout the remainder of this section, <LDName> is a syntactic variable representing the present name of
the master logical device. Depending on its context, <LDName> can be a product-related name or a function-
related name. In SCL files, <LDName> is always the product-related name. In IEC 61850 messages, <LDName>
NOTE
is the function-related name if one is set by the Master functional ldName setting, otherwise <LDName> is
again the product-related name. The product-related name of the Master logical device is
"<iedName>Master". The function related name of the Master logical device is the value of the Master
functional ldName setting.
System functional ldName
Range: 0 to 64 VisibileString characters
Default:
This setting is similar to setting Master functional ldName, but is for the System logical device, which contains the UR
logical nodes modelling power system devices: breakers, switches, CTs, VTs, and so on, including interface to these such
as AC inputs, contact I/O, transducer I/O, and HardFiber I/O.
Prot functional ldName
Range: 0 to 64 VisibileString characters
Default:
This setting is similar to setting Master functional ldName, but is for the Prot logical device instance, which contains the
UR logical nodes modelling protection and protection related functions.
Ctrl functional ldName
Range: 0 to 64 VisibileString characters
Default:
This setting is similar to setting Master functional ldName, but is for the Ctrl logical device instance, which contains the
UR logical nodes modelling control and monitoring functions.
Meter functional ldName
Range: 0 to 64 VisibileString characters
Default:
This setting is similar to setting Master functional ldName, but is for Meter the logical device instance, which contains
the UR logical nodes modelling metering and measurement (other than PMU), including Signal Sources.
