Station configuration checked before it reaches site.

For protection, substation automation and commissioning engineers. Your relay vendor tools stay as they are.

What your team gets

IEC 61850 engineering without leaving the IDE.

Govern features are in use today. Domain modules are pre-release; their state is listed under Tools and formats.

Station configurationSCL files read, indexed, edited and compared natively from IEC 61850-6, with the rest of each file kept byte for byte.
Schema and consistency checksFiles validated against your copy of the IEC schema and checked for references, names and address clashes before they are issued.
GOOSE and Sampled ValuesCaptures decoded and checked against the station file.
Disturbance recordsCOMTRADE records viewed with cursors, phasors and events, and downloaded from the relay over MMS.
Read-only commissioningIEDs browsed online over MMS, including secure connections, without writing to them.

Who uses it

One environment for every role on the team.

Protection engineersCompare relay settings held in the SCL file, as issued against as left.
Substation automation engineersConfigure IEC 61850 systems from the SCL files.
Commissioning engineersCheck GOOSE and Sampled Values traffic against the design.
Analysis engineersRead disturbance records after an event.

Tools and formats

What the Energy module handles, and how far each is verified.

The module is behind a setting, off by default. Loading a CID file to a relay goes through the relay vendor's tool.

No relay vendor tool or relay has been run, and no customer project opened. The module's checks are its own, not a vendor tool's acceptance. Domain modules are pre-release. Nothing is verified by a customer yet, and nothing is verified on Windows. Do not rely on a capability for production work until it is verified for your tools, versions and operating system. Product names belong to their owners.

How a change moves

A person decides before anything leaves the desk.

  1. Propose
    An engineer or agent drafts a change to station configuration.
  2. Verify
    Schema and consistency checks run on the files before issue.
  3. Approve
    A push to the issued configuration waits for a named approver.
  4. Record
    Change, results and approval kept together in the audit record.

Standards

Evidence for your engineering process. Conformance is yours.

IEC 61850Station files checked against the IEC 61850-6 schema and the module's own rules. Conformance testing of devices stays with you and the vendors.
IEC 62443Evidence toward IEC 62443: agent rules keep agents off the station and plant networks you name, and every change keeps its approver.

Neural Inverse provides evidence toward these standards. Certification stays with your organisation and assessor.
