IA community/61850 stakeholders,
We are progressing through our IEC 61850 Ignition native driver Beta test. Either of 2 points of feedback/participation would be extremely helpful:
-
Fill out a 1-page requirement validation document. 30 min estimate. Comment on the value of features implemented and not implemented for your use cases. Did we miss anything? This will inform QA testing and Dev efforts and may lead to feature prioritization.
-
Seeking a 2nd round of Beta participants. Time commitment required. IA currently has excess capacity to support additional beta testers who are ready to use the software now. This puts customers/integrators directly in touch with Software Development to ensure proper functionality on customer equipment. This is a finite opportunity as the driver team is on a schedule to shift to other efforts.
Please reach out to me via message on the forum if you are interested in helping or know someone with 61850 domain experience (customer, integrator, etc) willing to provide feedback. Thank you!
helloļ¼ When will the IEC61850 communication driver be available for useļ¼What's the current stepļ¼
Good news, the 61850 driver just dropped. If you download 8.1.25, you'll find it there. Enjoy!
Is this event still ongoing?
I have extensive experience with IEC 61850 driver functionality and have used various SCADA systems.
I hope Ignition SCADA can be improved further, and I would like to participate.
You can always put your improvement suggestions on IA's site for feature requests.
@Pofer_Wang - we greatly appreciate feedback! The IEC 61850 Beta is complete and the production driver is released and included with Ignition. You can fully access an evaluation copy.
In addition to the "Ideas" portal recommendation, feel free to reach out to @mknowles or I with driver feedback. Also, Inductive Automation support can help troubleshoot, and ultimately submit Ignition software change tickets if there is an issue. Posting to the forum to drum up support for your "Ideas" can also be helpful for high interest feature requests.

Thank you.

I am currently evaluating several power systems, and I find that developing on IGNITION is very convenient.
And since version 8.1.25, it already supports the 61850 Driver.
I have shared my current thoughts here:
For your reference, I believe adding this feature from a userās perspective would be much more convenient.
