 3 Simulation features

3.1 Simple mode

The ‘IED Simulation’ tab allows to simulate IED servers as defined by IEC 61850-8-1

3.1.1 Start an IED simulation

To start Server simulation, select the right IED in the treeview, click ‘Start server’ icon or
‘Simulation / Start server’.

IMPORTANT NOTE :
Prior to start IED simulation, Network Interface (NIC) selected must NOT use DHCP. It must be
configured with a fixed IP address.

SCLViewer will create automatically the IP address of the IED to simulate, take care of IP conflict
on your LAN.

It is possible to start several IED simulations in parallel.

 6 Tools

6.1 Validate SCL

This function allows to validate SCD file loaded against XSD file (SCL 1.4 by default also called
SCL 2003).
If some errors are detected, they are displayed in log window.

6.2 Assign XSD

This function allows to change the default XSD file (SCL schema) for validation

6.3 Check IED model

This function verifies the integrity and consistency of the IED modeling, typically cross references
of elements and ‘types’ are checked. Any missing ‘type’ referenced by another element will raise
an error.
The result is displayed in a log window and saved in a log file.

The SCL checks performed and detected are :

• Missing LNodeType
• Missing DOType
• Missing DAType
• Missing SDO
• Missing BDA
• Missing EnumType
• Unknown bType
• Missing Dataset referenced in Goose or ReportControl
• FCDA not found in LN
• Duplicated <object> (LDevice, LN, Dataset, ReportControl)
• Duplicated <type> (LNodeType, DOType, DAType, SDO, BDA, EnumType)
• String too long in DAI
• DAI value conversion impossible
• Illegal MAC address

7 Options

7.1 Automatic time stamp

Menu ‘Options / Automatic time Stamp’ is a toggling option which updates time stamp
automatically with current UTC when an operator generates an ‘Update DO’

7.2 Automatic feedback

22 / 27
This document is the property of Schneider Electric Energy Division and shall not be used, copied or communicated to
third parties without prior authorisation
Menu ‘Options / Automatic feedback’ is a toggling option which generates automatically the status
change after a control request (direct or SBO).

Limitations : this option works only for objects CDC = { SPC , DPC }

7.3 Show all data attributes

Menu ‘Options / Show all Data attr.’ is a toggling option which allows to display non real time
attributes in IED simulation panel such as attributes belonging to CF,DC,CO,EX,…

Without option set

With option set

 7.4 Add C264/GTW LD0

Menu ‘Options / Add C264/GTW LD0’ is a post processor which adds LD0 logical device for PACiS
C264 and PACiS GTW devices in current SCD file. It does not modify current SCD file but creates
a new SCD file on same folder with ‘SCD_LD0’ extension.

This function is required to be executed prior to start a C264 or GTW simulation due to DBID /
Vdbs management.

 8 Troubleshooting

When any of the function provided by SCLViewer is not working properly, here is a short list of
verifications to perform :

Possible error Action suggested

Is my SCD file correct against schema (XSD) ? Run “Validate SCL” to check this

Is my IED modelling correct for simulation or Run “Check IED model”

browsing ?

Is there any IP conflict on my LAN ? Check all IP present on subnetwork

I cannot browse or discover a running 61850 Try to ping it first

IED

When I simulate an IED, data changes are not Check for “ghost” processes and kill them all
updated to clients (see below)

8.1 Killing ‘ghost’ processes

3 types of process can run when SCLViewer is running :

- SCLViewer.exe : the HMI executed under .NET ; only 1 instance at a time

- scl_srvr.exe : the MMS and GOOSE process ; 1 instance per IED simulated
- sbusAxs32.exe : the MMS client process ; only 1 instance at a time

To be sure to restart SCLViewer from a ‘clean’ situation , identify and kill the following processes if
they are present :
