System Configuration Tool for IEC 61850-based Projects

61850 SCD Builder is a system configuration tool that enables creation of SCD (System Configuration Description) files from ICD (IED Capability Description) files, following the bottom-up engineering approach defined in the IEC 61850-6 standard.

It supports system design and integration for substations and other automation systems using interoperable IEC 61850 devices.

Key Features

• Supports Edition 1, Edition 2, and Amendment 1 to Edition 2 (Ed. 2.1) of the IEC 61850 standard.

• Generates standard conformant SCD files based on the selected edition’s SCL schema.

• IED-vendor independent – leverages IEC 61850 as a common interoperability framework.

• Allows to add to the system and configure server IEDs, client devices, merging units, time servers.

• Allows to configure datasets, control blocks (RCB, GoCB, MSVCB) and inputs (ExtRef).

• GOOSE/SV binding visualization and configuration.

• Built-in XML-level editor and checker with syntax validation.

• Maintains version history of the SCD configuration.

• Generates system documentation.

Applicability

61850 SCD Builder is ideal for:

• Building complete system configurations and documentation in line with IEC 61850 requirements.

• Creating simulation-ready SCD files (e.g., for use with INFO TECH 61850 SCL Runner).

• Modifying existing SCD files to reflect changes in the installed systems.

• Learning and training the IEC 61850 based engineering process.

The tool is designed to be intuitive and easy to use, with integrated context-sensitive help (F1).

Additional Capabilities

• Functional naming support for LD and LN instances (when permitted by imported ICD files).

• Editing and removing control blocks, datasets, and inputs based on service capabilities.

• Configuring GOOSE and SV communication views and generating connection lists.

• Importing IID files for section-level updates.

• Checking and editing SCD files on XML level with detailed error feedback.
