2.5 Terms and definitions

This section provides information about the terms and definitions associated with IEC 61850system interface in used in the document.

- 16 -



Terminology Description

Asset

Assets represent entities such as fixed plant equipment, materials, and buildings.The Asset Model provides a hierarchical structure that more closely resembles yourorganization.

The points in your system belong to assets. For example, you might have an assetthat represents a furnace in your plant. All the points associated with the physicalfurnace (analog points measuring the temperature, status points controlling valvesor pumps associated with the furnace) might belong to the asset that represents thefurnace.

The part of the system for which you are responsible can be controlled by assignedassets to you or the Station you are using. In addition, where assets have beenassigned to you, the tasks that you can perform can be restricted. For example, youmay have View access to an asset in your system. In this case, you can only viewitems associated with the asset, you cannot make any changes, such asacknowledging alarms or changing a point parameter.

Channel The communications port used by the server to connect to an IED.

DAI Instantiated Data Attribute

Display

Station uses displays to present information to operators in a manner that they canunderstand. The style and complexity of displays varies according to the type ofinformation being presented. Displays are sometimes called pages, a term which isused for Web pages.

Dual homeDual-home/ dual homing is a network topology where a network device is built withmore than one network interface.

Faceplate

A specialized popup that shows a subset of the details shown on the matching pointdetail (or template) display. It typically shows the point's run-time values and controlsettings. A faceplate appears when an operator clicks an object that is linked to apoint.

IEC International Electrotechnical Commission.

IED

Intelligent Electronic Device

An intelligent control andmessaging device used for interfacing substationautomation controllers and networks to target electrical equipment such as relays,circuit breakers, and so on.

Chapter 6 - Troubleshooting andmaintenance


Problem File being used by other process.

Cause The File replication is taking longer time due to network constrains.

Resolution

1. Check the network for speed and duplex settings and ensure file replicationhappens successfully.

2. Close the configuration studio and reopen the same and perform the lastoperation being processed.

Point Save operations fails

Problem Point Save operations fails.

Cause Improper handling of multiple project scenarios.

ResolutionEnsure that while performing Import from IED from non- primary server node needsthe System Configuration tool to be closed and reopened in other nodes.

Unhandled exception while performing operations

Problem Unhandled exception while performing operations.

Cause Corrupted database XMLs.

ResolutionWhenever Unhandled exception comes it is advised to quit the configuration studioand reopen them, still the error is there then delete the IED and reconfigure thesame.

IEC 61850 Diagnostics tool live logs are not displayed

Problem IEC 61850 Diagnostics tool live logs are not displayed.

Cause The tool is open for a long time.

Resolution Relaunch the tool.

Report Control Blocks are not enabled

Problem Report Control Blocks are not enabled.

Cause

l Report is enabled by third party simulator or external clients.

l RCB-write fails.

l You cannot write the Report Setting options such as Trgops, Optflds, buftm, rptID.

Resolution

l Close all third party clients.

l Check for Server logs in C:\ProgramData\Honeywell\ExperionPKS\IEC61850\Log\HCI.IEC6850.X.

l Check with vendor the reason the write operation fails and correct the Reportsettings in config xml if you cannot perform write operation.

Data is not updated

Problem Data is not updated.

CausePoints are not present in dataset, if they are present then the corresponding Reportscontrol blocks are not selected properly for Server A and Server B

Resolution

l Close all third party clients.

l Check for Server logs in C:\ProgramData\Honeywell\ExperionPKS\IEC61850\Log\HCI.IEC6850.X.

l Check with vendor the reason the write operation fails and correct the Reportsettings in config xml if you cannot perform write operation.

Alarms are not getting raised

- 70 -

Problem Alarms are not getting raised.

Causel Notifications are not being enabled.

l The points are not reported by the IED using RCB's.

Resolutionl Enable the notification under IEC 61850 system interface.

l Check that the points are part of dataset and corresponding RCBs are enabled.

Control model of the point has a mismatch with the IED

Problem Control model of the point has a mismatch with the IED.

Cause Control model of the respective point is changed after the IED association.

ResolutionDisabled the IED and enabled the IED so that control model can re-read from theIEDs.

Control of the point failure

Problem Control of the point failure.

Causel Control model of the respective point is different from that of the IED.

l IED is giving the negative feedback command for the control.

Resolution Resync the control model.

Incorrect Control Type for points

Problem Incorrect Control Type for points.

Cause

The various supported control types are Boolean, Enum and Integer. These are basedon the CDC type provided in SCL files. For a particular CDC type if the control typeprovided for the point in SCL file is different than the control type as defined by thestandard, then control type mismatch occurs.

Resolution Provide control from the custom displays.

Parameters are not displayed in Faceplate

Problem Parameters are not displayed in Faceplate.

CauseIf the concatenation of names of parameters of the point exceeds Experion limit of255 Charcters.

Resolution Configure the points in custom displays.

"Data Limit Exceeded" warning appears in system alarms

Problem "Data Limit Exceeded" warning appears in system alarms.

CauseThe Number of parameters per second reported from the IEDs exceeds the limit of15000.

ResolutionControl the rate at which the parameters are reported from the IEDs by changing thedead band for the analog points.
