Support for Power Equipment Templates
The STS Library can containn Power Equipments as Library Elements. They can reference existing Functions or have intrinsic Functions.
In the Function Specification Diagram Palette either new and "empty " Power Equipment Functions can be created or existing Power Equipment Functions can be instantiated.
In SCL these Functions become Equipment or SubEquipment Functions.
Improved Library Handling
- Update of entire Bays from Library
- Improved handling of LNode instances and prefixes
- Global Update from Library
- Visual information on Template usage
- Better control of intrinsic-non-intrinsic Functions
- Instance data survives update from Library
- Various bug fixes and minor improvements
Logical Device Configuration for IED Crafter
The Logical Device structure od th ecreated IED can be defined independently of the Functions in the Substation section. In a second step Functions can be allocated to the new Logical Device structure. This defines the allocation of Logical Nodes.
Imroved Application Templating ( GOOSE and Sample Value Library)
- The Role definition and GUI for Signals and Functions have been improved.
- The Templating Matrix has been simplified.
- Several Bugs removed.
Support of Wildcards in Process Name
The Process Name attribute of a Signal can now include variables. Please observe that the variables are only updated on creation/instantiation from Library, Once resolved they are not updated when the context changes. This behavior is different from using variables in Text Fields. These are updated when the context changes.
Support for multiple instantiation of library elements using configurable naming patterns
Selecting a name for the process element allows using wildcards %s, with ranges afterwards i.e.
System%s,001-002
will instantiate System001 and System002
The following Bugs are fixed in this Version
Looking forward to hear your feedback.
Thanks,
Team Helinks STS
