Selecting the IEC61850 Edition
(Original Document)
About us
Overview
After configuring the module name and starting memory address settings for the module, you need to create an IEC61850 project, then select the IEC61850 protocol supported by your 140 NOP 850 00 module.
Selecting the IEC61850 Edition
To select the edition of IEC61850 supported by your module, follow these steps:
Step
Action
1
In the Configuration tab, click the IEDCT Configuration button.
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 either:
  • Create New Project or
  • Open Project
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.
    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 IEC61850 Edition Selection dialog (described below) does not appear. Instead, the General window opens.
  • If the previously saved IEC61850 configuration cannot be found, the tool asks you to navigate to and select the IEC61850 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, the IEC61850 Edition Selection dialog opens.
5
Select the edition, or version, of the IEC61850 protocol that applies to your module:
  • Edition 1.0
  • Edition 2.0
NOTE: Schneider Electric recommends that you use the 140 NOP 850 00 module only in IEC61850 networks where all devices support the same edition of the IEC61850 protocol.
6
Click OK.
The General window opens.
NOTE: When Control Expert displays IEC61850 configuration settings, it presents one of the following collections of module data:
  • For a new IEC61850 project, the General window displays default settings.
  • For a project created using a pre-existing IEC61850 project file, the General window displays the saved configuration settings.
