IEC61850 SCD file

Hi,

I'm learning about IEC61850 and i want to connect it with ignition using a IEDScout ,but i don't have a SCD file to use and can’t find a place to import it,

Please if anyone can send me this file with any configurations so i can use it for education purposes

Thanks

Ignition isn’t a 61850 outstation/IED that you can connect scout to, it connects to other outstations/IEDs.

if i can simulate IEDs on scout, why can’t i connect to ignition?!

If you're simulating IEDs with IEDScout, then you would be connecting to those with Ignition. They would not be connecting to Ignition.

At this point, I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you looking for example SCL files that you can use to simulate an IED in IEDScout? Or are you already simulating IEDs in IEDScout?

yes, i’m looking for an example SCL file to use it in simulator

I'm not sure if we have any files that we can share with users, but I'll ask around.

The libiec61850 repo on Github has some examples. You can use the SCDs they have, or you can open some of the other SCL formats in IEDScout, then export them as SCD to use with Ignition. This repo is not owned by Inductive Automation, so be mindful of the license terms for this repository.

You're welcome!

the file accepted by IEDScout, but can’t i connect it in simulation mode with ignition IEC61850 MMS drive?

Go back and re-read comment #4. You must connect Ignition to your sim. You cannot connect from the sim to Ignition.

i’m confused a little bit, now imported the file in IEDScout and i want to read sim data in ignition

Just tested on my end... IEDScout seems to have a problem reading the SCD file I linked before. Try this one, instead. I was able to connect to IEDScout with the Ignition driver using this SCD file, but if it doesn't work for you, share some logs or something:

Yes, it’s connected successfully, and I can read values from simulator, thanks a lot!

I also imported the view where you control parameters in inductive university IEC61850 lesson and i can choose my drive and 4 parameters are shown in table as in snip below

from this snip, i modified the old braker state to be ‘selected parameter state‘ with indirect binding to show status of selected row of table component and i changed dropdown 'write to value‘ to choose true or false instead of 0,1,2

but when i select from dropdown and click ‘operate‘, nothing happens! and i have this error in snip below

also where are the other parameters?like in snip below, i can read them in ignition but they are not shown in table!

We've exhausted my 61850 knowledge, and I'm unfamiliar with the "view" that you're using from the university course. This might be a good exercise for me as well, so if I get around to trying it out, I'll try to let you know what's going on here.

In the meantime, maybe someone with more experience has an idea of what's going on.

No problem, thanks for your help!

I hope someone familiar with this view of IEC61850 protocol can help us
