IEC 61850 Loader (optional)
The IEC 61850 Loader (referred to as the Loader) is a PC-based software program that is
specifically designed to configure the D400 to communicate to IEC 61850 compliant
server devices using the D400's IEC 61850 client application. The Loader makes use of the
self-description capabilities of the IEC 61850 protocol and device information files
provided by most devices to simplify and speed up configuration of the IEC 61850 client
application.
The IEC 61850 Loader within D400 Utilities / SGConfig is then used to configure and upload
the IEC 61850 client application to the D400.
If D400 Utilities v3.0 is used, then you must import the schema package into D400 Utilities
v3.0 before you can use the IEC 61850 Loader to create configurations for a D400 with
v3.20 firmware:
1.
Retrieve the D400 Utilities v3.0 D400 schema package for the D400 V3.20 firmware
from the Technical Support web site and save it to a local drive or network share.
2.
Run D400 Utilities.
3.
Click on the Application Menu or Home button and select the Import Package option.
4.
When prompted, browse to the location where you saved the schema package in the
first step and select it.
Result: A confirmation message is displayed, indicating that the schema package has
been successfully imported.
After following these steps, you have the option to select firmware version 3.10 when
creating new devices in D400 Utilities v3.0.
For more information on using the IEC 61850 Loader, see the Loader online Help.
LogicLinx (optional)
LogicLinx is a tool that enables you to create automation applications that have
traditionally been too costly or difficult to implement - all without hard-wiring. Using any or
all of the IEC 61131-3 programming languages, you can create automation routines that
run on your D400.
LogicLinx automation routines are created using the LogicLinx editor. The LogicLinx Wizard
within D400 Utilities / SGConfig is then used to configure and upload the LogicLinx
application to your D400.
If D400 Utilities v3.0 is used, then you must import the schema package into D400 Utilities
v3.0 before you can use LogicLinx to create automation routines for a D400 with v3.20
firmware
1.
Retrieve the LogicLinx D400 schema package for the D400 V3.20 firmware from the
Technical Support web site and save it to a local drive or network share.
2.
Run D400 Utilities.
3.
Click on the Application Menu or Home button and select the Import Package option.
4.
When prompted, browse to the location where you saved the schema package in the
first step and select it.
Result: A confirmation message is displayed, indicating that the schema package has
been successfully imported
For more information on using LogicLinx, refer to the LogicLinx on D400 Quick Start Guide
(SWM0069).
