IEC 61850 · client and IED explorer

HolonStationProbe 61850

In development

Connect to any IEC 61850 IED and see exactly what it exposes. Browse the data model, follow values live, run reports and controls, and check the device against its SCL.

Planned features

What this tool is being built to do. Features may change before the first release.

  • Browse the data model

    Discover logical devices, logical nodes, data objects and attributes over MMS, with functional constraints and types shown as the standard defines them.

  • Watch values live

    Read and write data attributes, follow values with quality and timestamp, and keep your own watch lists per device.

  • Reports and data sets

    Enable buffered and unbuffered report control blocks, inspect data sets and see every report as it arrives.

  • Controls

    Operate controllable objects with direct and select-before-operate models, including the interlock and synchrocheck flags.

  • Files and records

    List the IED file system and download disturbance records in COMTRADE format for analysis.

  • Compare with SCL

    Load the ICD, CID or SCD and highlight what differs between the configured model and the one the device actually serves.

Where it helps

  • Commissioning and SAT

    Check signals, reports and controls bay by bay during site acceptance.

  • Troubleshooting in service

    Find out quickly whether a value is wrong in the IED, in the data set or further up in the gateway.

  • Vendor IED checks

    Verify that a delivered IED matches its ICD and the station SCD before integration.
