Tags are addressed to look at reports brcbA02 and urcbA02. Both reports are open and are not being utilized by another device.

All tags connected to the reports are displaying: "Uncertain\_InitialValue("The value is an initial value for a variable that normally receives its value from another variable.")"

Good morning sir. I have the same problem right now. I added a new IEC61850 device to my ignition gateway and try to verify the connection with the OPC quick client but it keep appearing the message "Uncertain\_InitialValue("The value is an initial value for a variable that normally receives its value from another variable.")" when I try to read a variable inside a report.

Did you manage to fix this problem sir? can you help me?

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

> Hello, I have a few questions about the 61850 REPORT function. As shown in the picture, I selected REPORT 1 and confirmed that RptEna is checked, but I cannot receive the data.
