About us
Overview
After configuring the module name and IP address settings for the module, create an IEC 61850 project, then select the IEC 61850 standard supported by your BMENOP0300 module.
Selecting the IEC 61850 Edition
To select the edition of IEC 61850 supported by your module, follow these steps:
Step
Action
1
In the Configuration tab, click the IEDCT Configuration button.
Result: The Modicon IEC 61850 Configuration Tool opens, displaying the Create Project dialog.
NOTE: Only one instance of the Modicon IEC 61850 Configuration Tool can be open at a time.
2
In the Create Project dialog, select one of the following:
  • Create New Project
  • Open Project
NOTE: A Recover Project selection appears when the Control Expert application is uploaded from the PLC, but it has lost the IEC 61850 configuration. In this case, Control Expert sends the recovered project to the configuration tool, which asks you to locate a backup project to restore the module's settings. If you have not yet backed up your project, create a new project for the module.
3
If you selected Open Project:
  1. Click the ellipsis button to open the Open dialog.
  2. Navigate to and select an existing project (.prj) file.
  3. Click Open.
    Result: The Open dialog closes, and the selected project and path are displayed in the Create Project dialog.
  4. Click OK.
NOTE:
  • Because the saved project file already contains an edition selection setting, the IEC 61850 Edition Selection dialog (described below) does not appear. Instead, the General window opens.
  • If the previously saved IEC 61850 configuration cannot be found, the tool asks you to navigate to and select the IEC 61850 configuration file to open. If you do not select a saved configuration, you need to create and configure a new project.
4
If you selected Create Project → OK, the IEC 61850 Edition Selection dialog opens.
5
Select the edition, or version, of the IEC 61850 protocol that applies to your module:
  • Edition1
  • Edition2
NOTE: Schneider Electric recommends that you use the BMENOP0300 module only in IEC 61850 networks where all devices support the same edition of the IEC 61850 protocol. The IEC 61850 configurator editions support the following schema versions:
  • Edition1: supports schema V1.6
  • Edition2: supports schema V3.1
6
Click OK.
Result: The General window opens.
NOTE: When Control Expert displays IEC 61850 configuration settings, it presents one of the following collections of module data:
  • For a new IEC 61850 project, the General window displays default settings.
  • For a project created using an existing IEC 61850 project file, the General window displays the saved configuration settings.
