12 IEC RS Introduction 2.1. Product overview The IEC protocol slave interface of the Communication Gateway C610 and the Station Computer C615 enables master systems communicating with protocol to receive data from and deliver commands to P&C devices connected to the GW. The IEC101 slave is implemented as an PC client, which transfers and converts data between the IEC slave protocol interface and the PC servers of the C600. See C600 for more details. The IEC101 Slave PC Client is configured using the Communication Engineering Tool (CET). Communication Engineering Tool (CET) can also be used for diagnosing and controlling the operation of the IEC101 Slave PC Client. C610/615 has a web server that can be used for remote diagnostic of the Gateway including the IEC101 Slave PC Client. The IEC101 Slave PC Client uses serial communication (RS232 interface). Before you can start using the IEC101 PC Client, at least one PC server has to be configured to provide access to the process devices. In this manual, the term IEC101 Device is used for a virtual station in the C610/615 representing the slave stations visible to the IEC101 master system IEC101 Slave PC Client features The IEC101 Slave PC Client supports the following features: PC Data Access Client v. 1.0/2.0 for accessing data from the PC servers PC Alarms and Events specifications v for diagnostic and control purposes IEC data modeling System supervision: NCC connection supervision Supported IEC data types and functions (see, Interoperability list for IEC101 PC Client for more information): Balanced and unbalanced communication Redundant communication channels Single and double indications easurement values Direct and secured commands Reception of time synchronization Parametrization and disturbance recorder upload via Transparent SPA 12

13 1RS Configuration IEC About this section This section guides you in the configuration tasks required before you can start using the IEC101 Slave PC Client. For information on the IEC data modeling, refer to the C600. First you need to start Communication Engineering Tool (CET) to open a project where at least one PC server has been configured. You can also open and name a new project, where you configure at least one PC server. 1. Select File > pen/anage Project In the pen/anage Project dialog, select the required location for the project: Projects on my computer Projects on network 3. Select New Project on the left. Enter a Project Name. The is optional. 4. Click Create 5. Click pen Project 3.2. verview of configuration Before you can start using the IEC101 Slave PC Client, you need to build and configure an object tree in Communication Engineering Tool (CET) to define the Communication structure within the Gateway object. IEC101 Slave PC Client IEC101 PC Balanced Channel IEC101 PC Unbalanced Channel IEC101 Device (IEC101 IED) Data objects Figure shows an example view of Communication Engineering Tool (CET) including an object tree in the communication structure on the left and bject Properties window displaying the object properties on the right. When configuring PC servers the following characters cannot be used in object names: \ ` ' ' # 13

14 IEC RS IEC101_configuration_overview.bmp Figure Example view of Communication Engineering Tool (CET) The configuration work can basically be divided into two separate tasks: 1. building an object tree, and 2. configuring object properties. First, you need to build an object tree. This is done by adding objects to the object tree, see 3.3.1, General about building object tree and 3.3.5, Adding data objects. Figure shows an example of how the object tree may look like after it has been built. In the example tree you can see the IEC101 PC Client object and its child objects like channels, devices, and data objects. Indentation is used to indicate the parent-child relationship between the objects. After you have added the necessary objects to the object tree in the communication structure, you need to configure them, see 3.4.1, General about configuring objects. Table describes the objects shown in the object tree (Figure 3.2-1). Table IEC101 PC Client related objects bject IEC101 PC Client IEC101 Balanced Channel An object representing the IEC101 PC Client. An object representing the IEC101 channel using balanced communication mode (point to point connection). 14

15 1RS IEC bject IEC101 Unbalanced Channel IEC101 Device (IEC101 IED) Data bject (D) Event Definitions An object representing IEC101 Channel using unbalanced communication mode (polled multipoint connection). IEC101 Device is used for a virtual station in the C610/615 representing the slave stations visible to the IEC101master system. A data object is an instance of one of the IEC Common data classes, for example single point status, measured value etc. Depending on the class, each data object has a set of attributes for monitoring and controlling the object, for instance value, quality and control. Data objects are connected from PC servers to the IEC101 Slave PC Client with the cross reference function. They are shown as child objects of the IEC101 Device object in the object tree. Event definitions are used for the diagnostic PC A&E Server Building object tree General about building object tree The object tree is built in the Communication structure of the C600 Engineering Tool, see Figure It is built by adding objects in a logical order starting from the IEC101 Slave PC Client object. Before the IEC101 Slave PC Client can be taken into use, an PC server has to be configured for the process communication. For more information on this subject, refer to the C600 You have several possible ways to add objects to the object tree in the Communication structure: You can right-click the object to which you want to add a child object. You can copy the object. Add the objects in the following order: 1. IEC101 Slave PC Client 2. IEC101 Balanced Channel / IEC101 Unbalanced Channel 3. IEC101 Device (IEC101 IED) 4. Data objects For information on building a substation structure, refer to C605, C615 HI Configuration anual. 15

16 IEC RS Adding IEC101 Slave PC Client To start building the object tree, add the IEC101 Slave PC Client object in the Communication structure by selecting the Gateway object, right-click it and select New > IEC101 > IEC101 Slave PC Client, Figure Figure Adding a new IEC101 PC Client object AddingClient101.jpg Adding Channel objects After the IEC101 Slave PC Client object has been successfully added, you can continue building the object tree by adding either the IEC101 Balanced Channel object or the IEC101 Unbalanced Channel object. To add IEC101 Channel object: 1. Select an IEC101 Slave PC Client object and right-click it. 2. Add an IEC101 Balanced Channel object or an IEC101 Unbalanced Channel object. 3. Rename the new object. Note that the names of the IEC101 Channels have to be unique. 16

17 1RS IEC Adding Device objects After a channel object has been successfully added, you can continue building the structure by adding the IEC101 Device object. All the data can be connected to one device or divided to several slave devices. Before dividing data to several slave devices, it must be checked that the current protocol mode and the master system support the feature. To add IEC101 Device object: 1. Select a Channel object. 2. Add an IEC101 Device object. 3. Rename the new object. Note that the names within an IEC101 Channel have to be unique Adding data objects Data objects are added somewhat differently than the upper level objects. Basically, you drag and drop the data objects you need from an PC server to the IEC101 Slave PC Client. To add data objects: 1. Select an IEC101 Device object (IEC101 IED) and right-click it. 2. Select Cross References. The Cross References window appears (Figure ). 3. In the Project Explorer, select now a logical node within an PC server, from which you want to connect the data objects to IEC101 Slave PC Client. Note that you can also select an upper level (server, channel, etc.) object and drag and drop it into the Cross Reference window. As a result, all the data objects within the selected object appear now in the Cross References window and can be connected to IEC101 Slave PC Client. 4. Drag and drop the logical node into the Cross References window. The data objects within the logical node appear now in the Cross References window. Note that only data objects that have been given a non zero information value in the Cross References table will be connected to the IEC101 Device. 5. At this point, click Apply to create the cross references (to connect the data objects to the IEC101 Device object). 17

18 IEC RS Figure The Cross References window CrossReferences101.jpg How to use the Cross References window In the Cross References window, you can use a filter file to leave out some of the data objects to be connected to IEC101 Device. Select the filter file to be used from the dropdown menu Active Filter (see Figure ). If there are no filter files listed in the dropdown menu, you can create your own filter file by clicking odify Filter File. You can also modify an existing filter file to meet your needs. The Cross References table allows you to view the data objects by type. Use the tabs in the upper part of the table to do this. Under the General tab, you can see all the data objects and their property values. Here you can sort the data objects by clicking the column heading (bject Name,, Type, etc.). There is a possibility to export the cross references table to icrosoft Excel and to import the table from icrosoft Excel. Clicking Apply connects the data objects to the IEC101 Device. After clicking Apply, you can change the data object values either in the bject Properties window or in the Cross References window. For more detailed instructions on configuring the data object properties in the Cross References window, see , General about configuring data objects. 18

19 1RS Configuring objects IEC General about configuring objects After the objects have been added, you need to configure the object properties. Figure shows an example of how to use Communication Engineering Tool (CET) to configure the object properties for IEC101 Slave PC Client. To configure an object: 1. Select an object in the object tree of the communication structure. 2. The object properties appear now in the bject Properties window. The properties and their values can be viewed as shown in Figure Figure Example of object properties in the bjects Properties window bjprop.jpg 3. Select the property you want to configure. Depending on the property value type, configuring is always done either by selecting a predefined value from a drop-down menu, or entering a text string or a numerical value in a text field. 19

31 1RS IEC Configuring Data objects General about configuring data objects You can configure data objects either in the bject Properties window or in the Cross References window. The actual configuration in bject Properties window by using the C600 Communication Engineering Tool (CET) is performed as described in 3.4.1, General about configuring objects. The parameters are stored in bject properties in the C600 Communication Engineering Tool (CET) (see the tables for each data object type). Clicking Apply connects the data objects to the IEC101 Device. After clicking Apply the connected data objects will appear as child objects for the IEC101 Device. The cross reference information can then be also modified by selecting the data object and using the object properties window. Note that if you make changes in the object names or structuring of objects of PC Server, which are connected to the IEC101 Device, you must re-open the cross reference tool and verify that the changes are correctly handled and then click Apply to update the IEC101 configuration accordingly. IEC101 Slave PC Client supports data objects for status, measurements, controllable status and controllable analog information.
