About This Session
In Part 6 of our IEC 61850 Hands-On Training Series, we return to testing, this time with a more advanced and practical approach.
Rather than testing individual devices, this session focuses on simulating an entire system design directly from your SCD file and validating it before hardware is even available. By leveraging the rich information already contained in your system configuration, you can uncover issues earlier in the engineering process, when they are far easier and less costly to fix.
We’ll demonstrate how modern IEC 61850 engineering workflows, including enhancements such as IEC 61850-6-100 SourceRefs, make this type of testing more accessible and more accurate than ever before.
Using Triangle MicroWorks tools, we will:
This session builds on concepts introduced in earlier webinars, including testing strategies and the IEC 61850 engineering process, and shows how they come together in a practical, testable workflow.
What You'll Learn:
- How to simulate an IEC 61850 system directly from an SCD file
- How DTM uses Substation, IED, and Communications sections to build a functional simulation
- The concept of functional simulation and how it differs from traditional testing
- How to test system behavior using both graphical and action-based approaches
- How to validate GOOSE, Reports, and overall system design using Test Suite Pro
- How advanced tools like Signal Flow Diagrams and Logic Analyzer views help diagnose system behavior
- How SourceRefs (IEC 61850-6-100) improve traceability and enable more accurate testing
- Why a top-down engineering approach enables earlier and more effective validation
