BUFFERED AND UNBUFFERED REPORTING
F650 relay supports both IEC 61850 buffered and unbuffered reporting. The device has configurable reports, which means
that the user can freely define its own Data Sets and Report Control Blocks.
Reporting is based on Data Sets, which are collections of Data that can be included in Reports. Report Control Block is a
group a parameters which permit IEC 61850 customization of the reports being sent by IEC 61850 server. For example
IntgPd parameter of Report Control Block contains the value in milliseconds of the interval between Integrity Reports sent
by IEC 61850 servers.
The F650 relay can have up to 20 different Data Sets, each of them containing a maximum of 64 elements. The exception
is a predefined Data Set for eveGGIO1, which contains 192 elements. There are several predefined Data Sets in F650, all
of them can be modified by the user with "IEC 61850 configurator" included in EnerVista 650 Setup software.
Here are the rules and limitations for creation/modification of Data Sets in F650:
• Maximum number of Data Sets in F650 is 20, including predefined and created by user.
• The number of 20 Data Sets applies to Data Sets for Reports and for transmission GOOSEs
• Maximum number of Data Sets for transmission GOOSEs is 4, thus if 4 transmission GOOSEs are configured
maximum of 16 different Data Sets can be configured for Reports
• Maximum number elements in a Data Set created by the user in F650 is 64
F650 relay supports up to 5 simultaneous IEC 61850 connections thus a maximum of 5 different IEC 61850 clients can
connect to it. For unbuffered reports only one URCB (Unbuffered Report Control Block), in this way all clients can connect
to the same URCB, for instance to LLN0.RP.urcbA01 (urcbA01 is the name of the URCB in this example). For buffered
reports each IEC 61850 client should connect to different BRCB (Buffered Report Control Block). This is necessary
because F650 relay maintains separate buffers for all 5 clients that can receive a report.
Here are the rules and limitations for creation/modification of Report Control Blocks F650:
• Maximum number of Report Control Blocks is 20, each of them that can be set as BRCB or URCB
• Maximum of 5 different BRCB's can be attached to the same Data Set
• Maximum of 1 URCB can be attached to a Data Set
In F650 device all Report Control Blocks are located in logical node LLN0.
Data Sets and Report Control Blocks can be created/modified with the use of "IEC 61850 configurator" included in
EnerVista 650 Setup software for firmware versions 3.60 and further ones.
The "IEC 61850 configurator" works with the CID file which is "Configured IED Description" file. CID is similar to the ICD file
"IED Capability Description" with the difference that CID contains configured values of Data. Despite that we talk about CID,
the file extension used in output files by "IEC 61850 configurator" is always .icd. This is because some third-party IEC
61850 substation configuration applications only support .icd extension.
Configuration of individual items of Report Control Blocks can be done both via "IEC 61850 configurator" and via an IEC
61850 client. Changes done via "IEC 61850 configurator" are non-volatile as they persist in the CID file which is uploaded
to the relay. In case of F650 changes done via IEC 61850 clients are volatile as they only persist in runtime memory.
