Abstract
A method for engineering and configuration of one or more IEDs for a function in a substation automation system is disclosed. Also disclosed is a configuration wizard for implementing the method. The method includes creating pre-defined type definitions for an application function, providing a selectable menu for selection of appropriate parameters with respect to the application. Using these parameters and the pre-defined type definitions. The method includes creating process configuration outputs for the application function, and configuring the one or more IEDs based on the process configuration outputs.
Claims10
A method for engineering and configuration of one or more Ingelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) and/or process controllers for an application function in a substation automation system, the method comprising:
- creating pre-defined type definitions for the application function;
- selecting parameters from a plurality of parameters with respect to the application function;
- creating a plurality of process configuration outputs for the application function based on the selection of the parameters and the pre-defined type definitions;
- and
- configuring the one or more IEDs based on the plurality of process configuration outputs.
A configuration wizard for engineering and configuration of one or more IEDs for an application function in a substation automation system, the configuration wizard comprising:
- an input module configured for receiving a plurality of parameters via a selectable menu for the application function implemented by the IED;
- and
- a processing module having a pre-defined type definition for the application function and configured for processing the parameters and for creating a plurality of process configuration outputs for the application function.
