Software tool for working with IEC 61850 devices
IEDScout
IEDScout is a universal client to IEC 61850 servers (such as substation IEDs) and a publisher/subscriber for GOOSE messages. It provides numerous useful functions needed in the substation or the laboratory.
As an IEC 61850 client it supports many functions, from generic reading/writing of data attributes to using the self description of the IED and producing SCL files from it. It detects GOOSE messages on the network and monitors them. The IEDScout also simulates GOOSE messages. With IEDScout, the protection engineer gets new options to enhance the depth and quality of testing.
Features & Benefits
- Polling Window for observing all polled data together
- Recording of GOOSE Traffic into COMTRADE files
- Provides access to IEC 61850 compatible IEDs from any vendor
- Can be used even with missing or incomplete configuration information
- Supports unplanned and improvised testing situations, especially during commissioning and troubleshooting
- Client functionality for developers of IEC 61850 IEDs (servers)
- Creation of SCL files for devices without additional engineering tools
- Detection of GOOSEs on the network and GOOSE monitoring
- Transfer of detected GOOSE information to the GOOSE Configuration Module for the CMC test set
- Simulation of GOOSE messages
Applications
- Testing
- Troubleshooting
- Commissioning
- IED Development
IEC 61850 Package
Since the different IEC 61850 testing tasks are typically performed together, OMICRON has bundled its commonly used tools in one package. It consists of IEDScout and the CMC configuration modules for GOOSE and Sampled Values.
