1.3.1 Protocol Overview
1.3.1.1 UCA 2.0
UCA 2.0 (Utility Communications Architecture, version 2) is a standardized communications
protocol that allows electric utilities to use compatible devices originating from various
manufacturers. This interoperability is a significant factor in helping electric utilities reduces their
operating costs. What distinguishes UCA 2.0 (and IEC 61850) from other protocols is its object-
oriented approach to modeling the devices in the electrical power industry (protection relays,
measures, etc.).

1.3.1.2 GOMSFE
GOMSFE (Generic Object Models for Substation and Feeder Equipment) is standardized model of
devices in the electrical power industry.

2 Using 61850 Config

2.1 Preliminary Requirements


61850 Config can be used to configure UCA 2.0 masters, slaves or connections.
You require an SMP configuration file created by SMP Config. Using SMP Config, you create
the file and add the masters and slaves that will be used by the SMP. You specify a connection to
all master protocol components created in SMP Config, in order to allow 61850 Config to
retrieve the published points. The points published by the masters are the source of UCA 2.0 slave
component points.

2.2 Starting 61850 Config


To start 61850 Config:
 In the SMP Manager main screen, click on an SMP gateway.
 In the Tools menu, click 61850 Config.
The 61850 Config’s main screen appears, showing two empty panes. As you work with the
application, the left pane will eventually display the architecture of the UCA 2.0 components
configuration, while the right pane will display the properties (if any) of the item selected in the
left pane, as illustrated below.

61850 Config User Guide (UCA 2.0 Specific) •3


EAS-SA QF-MKT-02 Rev.02

Before you can do anything, you need to open an SMP configuration file created by SMP Config.
To do this:
 In the File menu, click Open.

Note that you can open the same file in 2 different instances of 61850 Config. However, if you
make changes the second time you open the file, you will be asked to save the file under a new
name. This avoids collision in file editing and reduces the possibility of losing data and wasting
time.

2.3 Creating a New Slave Connection


To create a new slave connection:
 In the left pane, under Connections, click Slave Connections.
 In the Insert menu, point to Connection, and then click Slave.

To rename the slave connection:


 In the left pane, click on the slave connection.
 In the Edit menu, click Rename.

If you click the Automatic button of the New Logical Device dialog box, the wizard takes the
RTDX points published by all the protocol masters in the SMP configuration file, and creates a
logical device based on a basic RTU defined by GOMSFE. It splits the RTDX points into four
categories: analog inputs are placed in GAIN (Generic Analog Input), binary inputs are placed in
GIND (Generic Indicator), analog outputs are placed in GSPT (Generic Set Point), and binary
outputs are placed in GCTL (Generic Control). Note that a brick can have a maximum of 32
points.
The new logical device now appears in the left pane, under the slave component on which you
clicked.

 In the left pane, click on the folder in which you want to paste the data point.
 In the Edit menu, click Paste.

2.11.5 Refreshing the Device Values Used as Data Point


Properties
When you set a reference to a device point, the associated value is not dynamically updated. This
enables you to create your configuration without having to be connected to the device. You can
retrieve the device values when you want them to appear in 61850 Config.
To refresh the device values used in the master configuration:
 In the left pane, click on the master component to be refreshed.
 In the Tools menu, click Refresh Data.
This operation may take a while.

2.12 Validating an UCA 2.0 Configuration


It is important to validate an UCA 2.0 configuration, to ensure that it is usable. In fact, 61850
Config automatically performs the validation when you attempt to save a configuration.
To validate an UCA 2.0 slave or master configuration, or both:
 In the Tools menu, click Validate.

If 61850 Config finds any errors, the Error Report dialog box appears, displaying the list of
errors found.

To locate a faulty item:


 Select an error message in the dialog box.
 Click the Go To button of the dialog box.
The item containing the error is selected, in the left pane.
To correct the problem:

61850 Config User Guide (UCA 2.0 Specific) • 29


EAS-SA QF-MKT-02 Rev.02

 Make a modification in the left pane, such as changing the data point name

OR
 Modify the appropriate parameter in the right pane.

Once you have corrected a few errors, you may want to refresh the error list in the dialog box.
To do this:
 Click the Refresh button of the dialog box.

Note: 61850 Config does not save your configuration if your architecture contains
errors, so if you have just corrected some errors, we strongly suggest that you
save your configuration.

The errors you may encounter are listed in the tables below.

General Validation Description


Errors
Unknown error An unidentified error has occurred.

The name is too long The data point has too long a name.

In UCA 2.0, the name must contain a maximum of 64 characters.

Note that the name includes the names of all the folders above the data
point. Thus, a data point called AO_123, which is in folder GIND1 /
ST / ST15 is considered to have a name of GIND1/ST/ST15/AO_123.

Enter a name The data point has not been assigned a name.

The folder contains too A folder can’t contain more than 65,534 items, including folders and
many items data points.

(We strongly recommend that you limit the number of items to 32.)
