Simulate a Real IED's Discovered Data Model
To simulate an IED based on the configured data model of a real IED:
- Create a new workspace and discover the IED data model using the IP address of the IED Important: after you discover the IED data model, you will need to either disconnect 61850 Test Suite Pro or the real IED from the network to avoid conflicts between the real IED and the simulated IED
- Go to the IED Simulator tool (see screen shot below):
- Click on the IED drop down menu
- Select the IED you want to simulate
- Click start on the ribbon bar

Note: It is important to make sure the simulated IED and real IED are not on the same network. This could cause conflicting GOOSE messages to be published by the simulated IED and real IED or potentially cause other conflicts for IEC 61850 clients that are connected to the real IED.
Tip: Any IED in a 61850 Test Suite Pro workspace can be simulated. IEDs can be loaded from an SCL File or by reading the data model from an IED using discovery.
