Library support for GOOSE and SMV Applications


GOOSE and SMV Application can be converted to a "Templated Application" by qualifying Functions and Signals with roles. A "Templated Application can be added to the library and reused by assigning matching roles to Functions and Signals in a pproject.


MSI installers for the Standard and Trial version of STS


In case a firewall blocks access to our server, we provide msi installers.


Support for IEC 61850 6-100 update


  • Subfunctions s-Attributes and Control Refs are added to the SSD File
  • ISD export


Library Support for Equipment Functions


There is a new type of Library Functions: Equipment Function. An Equipment Function is related to a Power Equipment. When adding a Power Equipment with the Single LIne Editor a new equipment Function is created in the Function Diagram. In addition, a new tool entry in the Function Diagram is added. This allows now to add multiple Equipment Functions to the same Function.
