6.4.8 IEC 61850 Client
IEC 61850 Client Startup Sequence:
a Verify process arguments from MCP
b Connect to the Event Log; upon success log Event.
c Connect to System tag DB; upon failure log Event.
d Initialize diagnostics.
e Connect to User tag DB; upon failure log Event.
f
Connect to MCP Interface; upon failure log Event. Tell MCP Interface "not
running", "not ready".
g Parse configuration.
h Verify all tag pointers from configuration for validity (tags all defined, all
exist in User tag DB); upon first failure log Event.
i
Create internal file for configuration from our parsed configuration.
j
Initialize diagnostic tag pointers and diagnostic values.
k Opens internal file and the GOOSE socket; upon failure of either log
Event.
l
Prepare reportids; upon failure log Event.
m Tell MCP Interface ready.
n Start the Diagnostics thread.
o Initialize global GOOSE management
p Tell MCP Interface running.
All conditions causing the driver not to start are identified above by the log Event
actions.
IEC 61850 Client firmware operating sequence:
a If not connected to a configured IED, it will attempt to connect. Attempt
every 5 seconds. Once connected, attempt identify with the IED. Attempt
every 50 ms. If identify fails 10 times, disconnect from IED and attempt
reconnect every 5000 ms.
b Subscribe to any GOOSE messaging configured for this IED. Ensure
match of each element’s type id and the GOOSE confRev. Set failure flag
if no match is found.
c Enable any Reports configured for this IED. If the enable fails for
whatever reason, such as a mismatch of confRev, then the Report is not
enabled and not attempted again. Otherwise the Enable continues to be
attempted every 60 seconds. Once connected, perform a General
Interrogation to receive all data values of the Report, if that TrgOp was
enabled for that Report. Once connected, perform a General Interrogation
to receive all data values of the Report, if that TrgOp was enabled for that
report.
d Process MMS reads and MMS writes
The IEC 61850 Client driver attempts to reconnect to any disconnected IEDs
every 5000 milliseconds.
