PRODUCT SETUP CHAPTER 5: SETTINGS
Figure 5-10: Main IEC 61850 panel
Opening the IEC 61850 window while online causes the UR Setup software to retrieve and import an SCL file from the
connected C30. This SCD file contains all the settings in the UR at the time of the file request, both those that are mapped
into the IEC 61850 information model (that is, the "public" sections) and those that are not in the model (that is, the "private"
section). The UR Setup software imports all of these settings into the current session, not just those in the IEC 61850
5
window. To avoid loss of any unsaved setting changes made in other panels during the current session, all other panels for
the C30 must be closed before the IEC 61850 panel can be opened; the software prompts for this when applicable. Panels
for other devices can be open concurrently to facilitate parameter coordination.
The Restore button restores all settings in the IEC 61850 window to their last saved values. The Default button causes all
settings in the IEC 61850 window to revert to factory default values. Both buttons affect the current panel being displayed.
Neither button affects settings in other than the IEC 61860 window.
Create CID and settings files
When the Save button in the online IEC 61850 window is clicked, UR Setup software prepares a configured IED description
(CID) file containing all the device's settings and sends the CID file to the connected C30. On receipt of a CID file, the C30
checks it for correctness, and if no error is found, reboots using the settings in the CID file. UR Setup displays a message
when the C30 is running the new settings, confirming successful transfer. This process can take a minute or so due to the
extensive amount of processing required by the software and the C30.
Certain settings not related to IEC 61850 are indicated in this manual as taking effect only when the device is restarted.
The reboot following CID file transfer described in the previous paragraph does not make these setting changes take
effect, as the C30 does not accept the setting change until after the CID file transfer reboot. For any change in the
indicated settings to take effect, after the automatic restart due to CID file transfer, you must perform a manual restart, for
example by executing the Maintenance > Reboot Relay Command in the software.
When the Save button in the offline IEC 61850 window is clicked, UR Setup software saves to local storage, for example the
hard drive, a .urs file containing all of the device's settings.
Server configuration
The Server Configuration panel contains IEC 61850 settings relevant to the server functions of the IED implementation.
The path is Settings > Product Setup > Communications > IEC 61850 > Server Configuration.
The following settings are available, where <iedName> is a syntactic variable representing the present value of the IED
NAME setting.
