Configuration of Station/Remote switch

Each IED and logical device in the OPC Server has a configuration parameter defining
the OPC node path for the S/R switch that is used for that IED/logical device. If a logical
device does not have an S/R switch path configured, the path defined in the IED is used
instead. At run-time, the S/R path of a logical device can be read from the OPC Server;
the LD S/R switch path is located in the LD node. The OPC server that has the S/R switch
position information must have at least one signal mapped to the OPC client using this
information.
With IEC 61850, the control commands from COM600 HMI
and from slave protocols are always sent using the fixed ori-
ginator category configured in the Server Originator Category
property of the IEC 61850 OPC Server object. Due to this
some IEDs (e.g. REF615) need to be configured with Station
Authority check disabled to allow controls with the originator
category used by COM600.
The S/R switch OPC path points to an OPC node modeled according to one of the sup-
ported IEC 61850 data classes. The stVal OPC item of the S/R object presents the state
of the S/R switch, 1 = station and 0 = remote. If the stVal item has the vartype VT_BOOL,
VARIANT_TRUE is interpreted as 1 and VARIANT_FALSE as 0.
Several IEDs/LDs can share the same S/R switch OPC path, or each IED/LD can have
an own S/R switch OPC path. The OPC node pointed by the path can be located in an
OPC server providing the S/R information from a physical switch or from a simulated
software switch.
The web HMI is considered to be local or remote based on the IP-address of the web
client. The gateway object has a configuration property which defines the addresses that
are handled as local. It can be either a single IP address or using wild cards a range of
IP addresses.

Alarms and events

Alarm and event definitions

For information on creating and configuring alarm and event definitions, see COM600
HMI Configuration Manual.

Configuring Alarm groups

Alarms can be grouped using the Group Alarm Configurator tool.
