Working with ERT Data Sets
(Original Document)
Introduction
You can use the Modicon IEC61850 Configuration Tool to create a data set in the IEC61850 server of the 140 NOP 850 00 module that links to data produced by an ERT module. After the ERT data set is created, you can use it to populate the data fields of a report control block.
Use the ERT Data Set window to:
Before you can use the ERT Data Set window, you need to:
The ERT Data Set window:

Data Object Filter
Creating an ERT Data Set
To create a new ERT data set, follow these steps:
Step
Action
1
In the Data Set list, click the + button.
A new data set appears in the data set list, with the default name ‘dataset_n’ (where n represents the sequential number of the data set).
2
Do one of the following:
  • Accept the default data set name.
  • Double click the default name, then type a new name and press Enter.
3
In the Description area, do one of the following:
  • Accept the default data set description, which is the reference path to the data set; or
  • Type in a different description.
4
In the Data Object Filter, use the filtering lists to navigate to the data attribute you want to add to the data set. Make filtering selections for:
  • LDevice: Select an IEC61850 server logical device.
  • LNode: Select a logical node associated with the selected logical device.
  • FC: Select a functional constraint.
The data attribute list – located below the filtering lists – presents the data attributes that satisfy the selected filtering criteria.
5
To add data attributes to the data set, Drag a data object node from the data attribute list and drop it on the FCDA table.
The FCDA table displays the data set in nested groups, as follows:
LDevice → LNode → Data Object → Data Attribute
6
Input an Event Id for the data attribute you added to the data set.
NOTE:
  • For a Quantum ERT, Event Id is the channel number (1...32).
  • For Mx80 ERT, the Event Id is the channel number (0...15).
  • For an Mx80 CRA, the Event ID is generated by Control Expert.
7
Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 until all data attributes are added to the data set.

After you map data attributes to PLC variables, two DDT instances are automatically created in your application:
Editing an Existing ERT Data Set
To edit an existing ERT data set, follow these steps:
Step
Action
1
In the Data Set list, select an existing ERT data set.
The data references of the selected data set appear in the FCDA table.
2
To add data references, follow steps 3 to 5 in Creating an ERT Data Set (above).
3
To remove data references, select one or more data reference items in the FCDA table, right click, then select Delete from the context menu.
4
Save your edits.
Viewing Data Set Contents
To display the data references assigned to an ERT data set, select the ERT data set in the Data Set list. The data attributes appear in the FCDA table.
Removing a Data Set from the IEC61850 Server
To remove a data set from the IEC61850 Server, follow these steps:
Step
Action
1
Confirm that the data set you want to remove has not been added to the data model.
2
In the Data Set list, select an existing ERT data set.
The data references of the selected data set appear in the FCDA table.
3
Click the button.
The ERT data set is removed from the list.
