Documentation | StatCon – STATion Device CONfiguration Tool

StatCon – the StationDevice configuration tool – should be used for the following tasks:

- Create the configuration of the different protocol stacks of Station Controller

- Download the stack configurations to the Station Controller

- Update the StationController or Station Gateway firmware

- Diagnostic functions for the Station Controller

- Create IP settings for a Station Gateway*

- Download IP settings to the Station Gateway*

- Read back current device configuration of the Station Gateway*

*Please refer to the Station Gateway manual for further information

1.1 Starting StatCon

Starting StatCon the first time, a blank workspace is shown, because no project file hasbeen opened.

A new project will be created by choosing “File” à “New Project” from the main menu. Thisopens a new workspace, where all panels are blank. On a first step, the system environ-ment has to be configured for the new project.

1.2 GUI – Panels

The StatCon GUI (see Figure 1 - Application window with Project) consists of six differentPanels:

1. “StationDevices Panel”: contains all StationControllers and StationGateways of theproject;

2. “External devices Panel”: contains a list of all configured external IEDs of the pro-ject;

3. “Details Panel”: used to show detail information;

4. “Properties Panel”: used for displaying and editing properties of selected entity;

5. “Device data Panel”: makes the data structure of an selected IED accessible;

6. “Log Panel”: contains some logging information about executed actions. This panelis auto hidden by default and will be shown when moving the mouse over;

Shown panels can be hidden and hidden panels can be shown by using the appropriateitem within the “View” item from the main menu.

1.3 Settings

1.3.1 Language

The following languages are available: English (default), German.

The language can be switched by the main menu “Settings” à “Language” à desired lan-guage.

The application has to be restarted to adopt the new language setting.

1.4 Project Handling

The “Project” item from the main menu (see Figure 2 - Main menu "Project") offers thecommon commands for the project handling.

Only one project can be opened simultaneously.

Figure 2 - Main menu "Project"

1.4.1 Project data structure

As shown in Figure 3 - Project data structure example, the project data is stored accordingto the following data structure:

- “001_ExternalDevices”: contains a local description file for each external device;

- “002_StationControllers”: contains a subfolder for each Station Controller to storethe configurations of the different protocol stacks.

- “004_StationGateway”: contains a subfolder for each Station Gateway downloadeddata

- “project.xml”: This file is the entry point for each project. It is not allowed, to re-name this file manually. To open an existing project, choose this file within the se-lect file dialog.

9



Figure 3 - Project data structure example

1.4.2 Copying of projects

To copy or transfer StatCon projects, the project folder can be copied in the WindowsExplorer. Open projects cannot be copied, they have to be closed before.

1.4.3 Export of devices

It is possible to export all your devices, with all their appropriate settings and stacks, into afolder of your choice. This includes the configured StationControllers, IEDs of your devices,their corresponding stacks, and so on.

The settings will be exported into the CSV file, which can be later edited by spreadsheetprograms like MS Excel and then imported into StatCon back. This required e.g. for givingthe complex mapping rule for the mapped tags.

To export devices select the “Export project…” button in the “Project” menu (see Figure 4 -Project export, import example).

Figure 4 - Project export, import example

The function can also be called with the context menu of the “StationControllers Panel” orthe bar button (see Figure 5 – StationDevices Panel, export).

10



Figure 5 – StationDevices Panel, export

This opens the “Export project…” dialog (see Figure 6 - Export project dialog)where youcan select a folder of your choice and give the directory a name. Check the “Ignore defaultvalues” box if you want this enabled.

Figure 6 - Export project dialog

If “Ignore default values” checked, so all unused or unchanged properties of the tags willnot be exported into the CSV file.

By “Export project…” or “Export devices” function all stacks of all StationControllers will beexported into desired folder.

1.4.4 Import of a device

Exported server or client stacks can be integrated in one of your StationControllers withthe “Import device…” function (see Figure 7 - StationDevices Panel, import). All their set-tings will also be imported into your project. Select a device in the StationController panelwhich your imported device shall be assigned to.

11



Figure 7 - StationDevices Panel, import

Using the context menu or the “Import device…” button opens the “Import device…” dialog(see Figure 8 – Import device dialog). Select a folder which contains an exported serv-er/client device and press the “OK” button.

Figure 8 – Import device dialog

Your stack will then be assigned to your selected StationController.

You can import stack only if such a stack yet exists in the StationController.

If your selected StationController already has one stack and you are trying to import anexported server or client stack, a new dialog will be opened. StatCon will ask you if youwant to merge the old stack with the new one or if you want to overwrite the currentstack with the new stack (see Figure 9 – Merge stacks dialog). Choose the option accord-ing to your needs.

Figure 9 – Merge stacks dialog

12



2.1 General

With StatCon application it is possible to configure the connection properties and the tagmapping entries of multiple Station Controllers. Furthermore you can get some online in-formation’s and execute an update of the firmware or a restart of the device.

2.2 Add Station Controller

A Station Controller can be added to the project within the “Station Devices” panel. To adda new controller open the context on toolbar item “Add StationDevice” and select sub item“Add StationController”. A new Station Controller will be added to the project.

Figure 10 - Add new Station Controller

This creates the new StationController and shows the dialog inside the properties panel.

2.3 Properties panel

Selecting any StationController within the StationDevices panel opens the StationControl-ler properties within the properties panel.

In this panel the StationController has to be named unique within the project, e.g. “Sta-tionController” and the different protocol stacks of the Station Controller can be config-ured.

Selecting one of the stacks generates the appropriate MLFB automatically. The MLFB can-not be changed by hand.

The IP address of the StationController (X2, IE General) has to be configured for download-ing the configuration to the StationController later.

One data block number (e.g. 1000) will be required at least for the S7-Mapping. Datablock number can be defined as a comma separated list.

2.11 Example

2.11.1 Add IEC61850 tags to the IEC61850 client

New tags will always be added to the selected protocol stack.

Selecting the desired protocol stack within the StationDevices panel, e.g. “StationControl-ler” à “IEC61850 Client”, opens its tag list inside the details panel. Only StationControllercan have a protocol stack.

All available IEC61850 server devices are listed in the dropdown list inside the Device Datapanel. The data structure of the chosen server device will be shown below the dropdownlist as a tree view. Any data attribute of the server device can be added as an IEC61850 tagto the selected IEC61850 client. Therefore choose “Add” from the context menu of the se-lected data attribute within the tree view or press the Enter key. This step is shown in Fig-ure for the controllable data attribute “IED_0002CTRL/Q0CSWI1$CO$Pos$Oper$ctlVal”(Control of circuit breaker).

35



Figure 34 - Add data attribute to IEC61850 client stack

There is another way to add the tag to the protocol stack. You can select a tag and drag itwith the mouse into the details panel (see Figure).

Figure 35 – Add a tag with drag and drop

If possible, the new IEC61850 tag will be listed now within the tag list of the selected pro-tocol stack (see Figure).

36



Figure 36 - Newly created IEC61850 tag

The equipment identification code (EIC), assigned to the tag by default, consist of the dataattribute name and any ID. It’s recommended to change the EIC to any context specificvalue, e.g. “Ctrl0”. This can be done by editing the EIC directly inside the tag list (see Fig-ure 37) or by editing the tag properties.

Figure 37 - Edit the equipment identification code

Afterwards, the measured value “IED_0002MEAS/MMXU1$MX$A$phsA$cVal$mag$f” canbe added in the same way. Selecting the value within the tag list, opens its properties in-side the properties panel (see Figure 38).

Change the EIC to e.g. “Current” and select “StatusFloat” as variable-type, to receive thequality and timestamp of the measured value as well.

37



Figure 38 - IEC61850 tag properties

As shown in Figure 38, the S7-Mapping parameters (Data block number, Data block offset)are set to “-1” by default. This implies that the S7-Mapping is still unspecified. These pa-rameters will be adapted during S7-Mapping generation (see 2.11.3).

Furthermore it can be seen, that an IEC61850 dataset (“NewDataset1_F”) had been creat-ed and assigned to the tag by default. “_F” within the name of the dataset indicates thatthis dataset will be preferred for float values. All further dataset details can be looked upand edited within the properties of the IEC61850 client stack of the StationController (seeFigure 39).

2.11.2 Configure IEC61850 server

This chapter describes the configuration of the IEC 61850 server stack. This is not requiredif you use only the IEC 61850 client.

To start work with the IEC61850 server stack make sure the IEC61850 Server checkbox(see Figure 11 - Station Controller properties panel) is checked.

2.11.2.1 Add IEC61850 tree nodes to the IEC61850 server

Server devices accept different tree node types in comparison to client devices. First it isnecessary to add the whole logical device (e.g. TEMPLATE_Minimal) to the controller. Thiscan be done by selecting a correspond node and dragging it to the object tree (see Figure41). After that the logical nodes of the logical device can be inserted, deleted and config-ured as they are needed.

Figure 40 - IEC61850 server object tree, new node

At this step you should create a final tree structure for your selected server device. At anycase you have the possibility to modify the tree later.

39



Tags can be chosen from the “Data structure” panel. You can choose either an externaldevice with a defined ICD file or a template from the drop down menu. For further info seechapter “2.4 External devices”

Modifying the tags and nodes works the same way as it would with tags in a client device,see chapter “2.11.1 Add IEC61850 tags to the IEC61850 clientAdd IEC61850 tags to theIEC61850 client” for further information. You cannot the structure of the logical objects.You cannot delete or insert single attributes for example “stVal” or “q”.

2.11.3 Generate S7-Mapping

The S7-Mapping can be auto generated for the StationController using “Generate S7-Mapping” from the StationControllers context menu (see Figure 41).

Figure 41 - Generate S7-Mapping

This means that all mappable entities, where the S7-Mapping parameters are still unspeci-fied, will be mapped to the data blocks, specified within the StationController properties.

The progress of this process can be viewed inside the log panel (see Figure 42). Existingmapping definitions will be kept unchanged but validated before new mappings will beset. All errors, found during the validation, will be listed in the log panel as well.

Figure 42 - Log panel with S7-Mapping result

When the S7-Mapping is done, the result can be seen inside the entity properties, wherethe appropriate mapping parameters are set (see Figure 43 for e.g. the “Ctrl0” tag).

40



Figure 43 - IEC61850 tag properties with specified S7-Mapping parameters

2.11.4 Save project

Before downloading the configuration to the StationController, the project has to besaved. The project will be saved by choosing “Project” à “Save Project” from the mainmenu. This opens the “Save Project As …” dialog, where the project location has to be se-lected and the project name has to be defined. These settings will be applied by pressingthe “OK”-Button and the project will be saved according to the data structure described in“1.4.1 Project data structure”.

2.11.5 Download configuration to StationController

The configuration can be downloaded to the StationController using “Download to device”from the StationDevices context menu (see Figure 44). It’s required to save the projectbefore downloading the configuration to the StationController.

Figure 44 - Download to device command

41



This opens the “Download Configuration to StationController” dialog inside the detailspanel (see Figure 45). Inside this dialog, the protocol stacks, which shall be downloaded,have to be selected. All stacks are selected by default.

The download can be started by the “Download configuration to StationController” button.The state of the download will be shown by an icon inside the column “State” and by ap-propriate entries inside the log panel.

Figure 45 - Download configuration to StationController

2.11.6 Generate data block SCL source

The S7 user program requires the SCL source of the data block, matching the generatedS7-Mapping. This data block SCL source code can be generated by the “Write data blockSCL description [..]” button above the “Download configuration [..]” button (see Figure45).

This writes the SCL source code for each data block, used by the S7-Mapping, to a SCL file(e.g. “DB1000.scl”) inside the folder of the corresponding StationController (<project fold-er>/002_StationControllers/StationController<x>/). The exact path of each successful gen-erated SCL file will be given inside the log panel (see Figure 46).

Figure 46 - SCL done inside log panel

Figure 47 - generated SCL code of data block DB1000 shows the SCL source code of thedata block DB1000 matching the configuration of the previous chapters.

3.6 Copy IEC61850 tag address

The Station Gateway addresses of IEC61850 Data Attributes must be projected in the S7program. StatCon can help you to configure the correct address to the S7 blocks.

Therefore your IEC device should be added to your StatCon project (see External devices).

49



If your IEC device exists you can select the Data Attribute which should be configured onS7 block and transfer it by drag & drop to the tag list of the Station Gateway.

Figure 54 - Drag Data Attribute to tag list

If the Data Attributes was added to the tag list, you can select one of the entries and openits context by a right click on mouse. In the context you can choose entry “Copy address toclipboard” and after this you can paste address to your block in S7 program.

NOTE: The addresses of the same tags in different types of station devices are notequal, because the address separators of the IEC objects are not the same. So, it isnot possible to use the address of a Station Gateway in a Station Controller.

Figure 55 - Copy tag address

50



4.1 General

Station devices of type IEC61850 Client Basic Library just should help users which workwith an IEC61850 Client library for PCS7 or TIA Portal to project the correct Data Attributeaddresses of their IEC devices.

Therefore Station devices of this type have no hardware configuration and no online func-tionality. Only the IEC tags can be configured and their addresses can be copied to theblocks to an S7 or TIA Portal program.

4.2 Add IEC61850 Client Basic Library

An IEC61850 Client Basic Library can be added to the project within the “Station Devices”panel. To add a new controller open the context on toolbar item “Add StationDevice” andselect sub item “Add IEC61850 Client Basic Library”. A new library will be added to the pro-ject.

Figure 56 - Add new IEC61850 Client Basic Library

4.3 Copy IEC61850 tag address

The practice of copying tag addresses is the same as described for Station Gateways. Youcan follow the instructions in the Station Gateway chapter (see Copy IEC61850 tag ad-dress).

NOTE: The tag addresses of an IEC61850 Client Basic Library are not equal to the tagaddresses of a Station Gateway because of the different IEC object separators. Forusing the addresses with IEC61850 Client Basic Library the addresses are separatedwith sign “$$”. So, addresses from a tag in Station Gateway will not work on a blockof the IEC61850 Client Basic Library.

The online mode is a feature that allows you to read tag values in real time from a client orserver stack and display them in StatCon. Once activated it will connect to your devicewith the IP address that is configured in your StationController and try to read your tagvalues also if possible the quality code. It can be activated by using the “Go online” buttonin the “Online” menu or the corresponding button in the tab menu (see Figure 57 - Acti-vate online mode).

Figure 57 - Activate online mode

Activating the online mode changes the color of the log panel to orange and displays atext in the title to signal its activation. Be aware that it is not possible to edit your projectwhile this mode is active, like modifying your tag values, adding new tags, deleting tagsand so on.

To deactivate this mode, use the “Go offline” button in the “Online” menu, just below the“Go offline” button (see Figure 58 - Deactivate online mode).

Figure 58 - Deactivate online mode

The stack details view of your server or client device will display two new columns withactive online mode: “Tag value” and “Quality code”. These columns will be automaticallyrefreshed every 3 seconds with the values that are in your assigned DB’s at the currentmoment. A message will be displayed in case of errors or connection problems.

The accessible devices view allows you to browse your network for devices that are able tocommunicate per DCP protocol. The located devices are then presented in a list view withtheir specific parameters and attributes. It is possible to access the view with the “Accessi-ble devices” button in the “Online” menu or the corresponding button in the tab menu(see Figure 60 - Activate accessible devices view).

Figure 60 - Activate accessible devices view

The accessible devices that are found can be partially edited. It is possible to change the IPconfiguration of a found device by changing the corresponding attribute and selecting theapply button.

Figure 61 - Accessible devices list

The view can be expanded by deselecting the “Only show supported DCP devices” check-box.

Your stack will then be assigned to your selected StationController.
