IED Connections and Input/Output Tab List
This sections contains several tabs detailing the component parts of the IED.
This will include tabs for:
• IED Connections (All IEDs except ICCP IEDs): The configuration of the connections between the FEP and the IED.
• Remote VCC (ICCP IEDs only): The configuration of the Remote ICCP nodes to communicate with.
• Transfersets (ICCP IEDs only): The configuration of how inputs are transfered over the ICCP link.
• Input Points: A protocol specific list of the input points on the IED.
• Output Points: A protocol specific list of the output points on the IED.
IED Connections List (All IEDs except ICCP IEDs)
This section allows the configuration of one or more connections between the FEP and the IED itself. This is normally redundant connections to the same IED instance. Connections can be added or removed as required, and also enabled or disabled from a right-click context menu.
Each connection has the following options:
• Control: The configured state of the connection. This is edited by actions menu options.
• Status: the actual state of the connection as reported by the system (not editable).
• Name: A unique (on the IED) name for the connection, used for logging audit messages and errors.
• Description: optional description.
• Order: A defined order to try the connections – lowest value first.
• IP Address: The TCP/IP address of the FEP for the connection.
• Port: The TCP/IP port for the connection.
• Poll Period: The period to collect poll statistics in seconds.
• Stats Period: The frequency to report the statistics.
• Recovery Percent: Required percentage of good vs bad polls for connection recovery.
• Failure Percent: Required percentage of good vs bad polls for connection failure.
ICCP Remote VCC List – only for ICCP IEDs
This ICCP Remote VCC definition has all of the same columns as the IED connections defined above and the following additional columns
• TSEL: Transport selector.
• SSEL: Session selector.
• PSEL: Presentation selector.
• AP TITLE: Application Process Title.
• AE QUALIFIER: Application Entry Qualifier.
• Application Entry Qualifier: TLS public client certificate, or local private server certificate identifier - Secure Only.
• ACSE CERTIFICATE: ACSE public certificate, or local private certificate identifier - Secure Only.
• TLS CA CERTIFICATE: TLS public Certificate Authority certificate identifier - Secure Only.
• ACSE CA CERTIFICATE: ACSE public Certificate Authority certificate identifier - Secure Only.
ICCP Transfersets – only for ICCP IEDs
• Control: Configured state of Transferset.
• Status: Actual state of Transferset.
• Number: Dataset Number - referenced by points.
• Transfer Mode: Specify change-based or interval transmission of information reports.
• Start Time: Absolute start time of transfer set.
• Start Delay: Start Delay for transferset (not used).
• Buffer Time: Time in seconds to queue data on server before sending report.
• Interval: Interval in seconds for INTERVAL transferMode.
• Integrity Interval: Interval in seconds to send integrity scan reports. Default/0 means no integrity scan reports.
• Operator Request: Enable operator request.
• Report By Exception: Report By Exception mode for INTERVAL reports - only send points when they have changed over interval.
• All Changes: Send lists of all changes with INTERVAL reports.
• Critical: Enable critical ACK.
• Initial Read: Do initial read of all points in data set.
