The Reports tab in the IEC 61580 Configurator permits configuration of data sets and
report control blocks for buffered and unbuffered reports.
The screen helps the user to create, modify and delete Report Control Blocks (RCBs) and
Datasets. Each Report Control Block must have a maximum of 4 different clients up to a
maximum of 4 Report Control Blocks linked to their Datasets. Each dataset must have a
maximum of 64 elements in total.
There are two screens available in the Report tab window:

Configurator is 30 and IEC61850 MMS Library adds 2 more characters indicating
the number of the instance of the RCB depending on the number of IEC61850
clients configured.
