Set up IEC 61850 advanced control

The advanced control window provides two advanced controls (synchro check and interlock check) that you can use with IEC 61850 IEDs.

warning

inaccurate data results

●

Do not incorrectly configure the tag.

●

Ensure that you understand the effects of using the "bypass" option so you do not shut down critical equipment.

●

Do not rely solely on software messages and reports to determine if the system is functioning correctly or meeting all applicable standards and requirements.

●

Consider the implications of unanticipated transmission delays or failures of communications links.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, equipment damage, or permanent loss of data.

Enable the advanced control

Before you can use the advanced control, you must add the appropriate variable STRING tag to be used when you send the command. For breaker control, the "operate" tag typically used is:

S33K_A_INC\CSWI1\Pos\ctVal

For this tag, you need to then add the corresponding STRING tag:

S33K_A_INC\CSWI1\Pos\ctVal\str

If you are using select before operate, you also need to add a STRING tag for it.

See IEC 61850 advanced control for information on using these advanced controls.
