IEDScout, the versatile software tool for working with IEC 61850 devices, now provides many new features, improvements and bug fixes. It can simulate now entire Ed. 2 and Ed. 1 IEDs. Additionally it enables users to extensively test IEDS due to a re-designed Control dialogue.
Due to its fully-featured IEC 61850 IED simulator, users will only need an SCL file to simulate all IEC 61850 communication aspects of an IED. This includes sending GOOSE, providing a server with buffered and unbuffered reports to clients and supporting all IEC 61850 control operations. The configuration of the simulated GOOSE and reports can be easily modified, and changing data values in the simulated IED automatically triggers GOOSE and reports. The status of the published GOOSE and reports can be conveniently observed in the Activity Monitor.
Furthermore, the completely re-designed Control dialogue now offers all possible options for advanced testing of IEDs. Interlock-check and synchro-check can be enabled directly in the dialogue and the Test flag can also be set during Control sequences.
In addition, IEDScout provides the possibility of hyperlink navigation. So users can navigate from the DataSet to the corresponding Logical Node in the data model. If the associated IED is loaded in IEDScout these hyperlinks also work for GOOSE and Reports shown in the Sniffer.
