Getting Started

IEC 61850 Example

Connect to TMW Example Servers

1) Start the Example Servers

2) Using the Example Servers

Operation of the example servers is explained in the following Help dialog box that is accessed from the File menu on the Example Servers:

3) Open the Example Workspace in TSP

4) Verify the correct GOOSE adapter was automatically chosen by the Example servers

  1. Open GOOSE Tracker to show the status of each GOOSE stream published by the Example Servers. Verify the correct adapter is shown and that the status of each GOOSE stream is Valid as shown in the Screenshot below:
  2. If the GOOSE Streams have a status of Stream Error, try setting the GOOSE Adapter for Example Servers manually

  1. The GOOSE adapter for the example servers is automatically selected when the servers start based on which loopback address is being used for the MMS client/server connection. If this is not correct, the GOOSE adapter may be set manually as follows:
    1. In TSP, hold the CTRL button and click on "Start Example Servers"
    2. Select one of the network adapters on the local PC

5) Important Tools/Displays to try:

- shows the Single Line representation of the Example Server application. Change some of the voltages, currents, and breaker/switch positions on the Example Server and watch this display update.

 

- Data change events are automatically created by the Example Servers which will cause reports to be generated. The level of the currents and voltages can be adjusted with the slider bars.

- If the current slider goes over the "Trip" level, then a GOOSE event will be generated with PIOC.Op.general=true. This can be seen in the GOOSE Event Viewer.

- Data placed in a Group Display can be grouped by various properties such as IED Name or Logical Node Prefix.

Set the Grouping to Logical Node Class and watch the Interlocking (CILO) data objects change values as you open and close the breaker on the Example Servers.

- Can be used to browse the IEC 61850 Data Model:

- Can be used to chart the real time values of data attributes found in IEDs:

- Set Logical Nodes or entire Logical Devices in Test and/or Blocked mode.
