SCT — Substation Configuration Tool
SCT is the tool for graphical substation engineering according to IEC 61850-6 Ed. 2, from the single-line diagram and the devices to the communication network.
Application
With SCT you model the primary and secondary equipment of your installation: draw the single-line diagram, assign manufacturer-independent logical nodes, model the IEDs and configure the communication network.
In the IEC 61850 engineering process, SCT serves as a system specification tool and as a system configuration tool. Results are saved as SCL files: as a system specification (SSD), device description (ICD) or complete system configuration (SCD).
The designers
Draw the single-line diagram using drag & drop and define the topology by station, voltage level and bay. Placing primary equipment directly creates placeholders for the logical nodes of the secondary equipment.
Substructures such as bays can be saved and reused in other installations.
In the IED designer you build devices from access point, server, logical device and logical nodes according to IEC 61850-7-4.
In the LN designer you configure data sets, report, GOOSE and sampled values control blocks and the external inputs of a logical node.
Connect the access points of the IEDs to subnetworks. SCT assigns network addresses automatically based on configurable templates, including GOOSE and sampled values.
More functions
Manage LNodeTypes, DOTypes, DATypes and EnumTypes independently of projects. SCT updates the DataTypeTemplates in the project automatically.
Link the logical nodes of the installation to those of the IEDs using drag & drop or an assistant.
SCT checks data against the SCL schema and for consistency in the background. Double-clicking a message takes you to the object concerned; some warnings come with suggested solutions.
Import SSD, ICD, IID and SCD files. For individual IEDs, SCT exports CID files with all relevant information.
At a glance
SCT supports manufacturer-neutral top-down engineering: the installation is specified first, the devices follow.
