Helinks STS-2022-10 V 3.8.0 Semi Annual Release Release Note

Application automation

Application interface changes

No results shown on IED validation

Application automation

• Templated applications now have automation capabilities for both participants and connection matrices.
• Automated participants will automatically add and delete members on creation/deletion of the corresponding specification elements.
• Automated connection matrices can be supplied with rules or expressions to evaluate if a given pair of participants should be automatically checked/unchecked.

Application interface changes

Application list

• Application templates can now be hierarchically organized.
• The grouping is independent of service type, i.e. Report, GOOSE, and Sampled Value applications can be grouped as children of the same umbrella application.
• A new application type, ‘Composite Application’ has been introduced for the express purpose of organizing the application hierarchically without contributing signals on its own.
• Accordingly, the tabbed grouping in ‘Reports’, ‘GOOSE', ‘Sampled Values’ is no longer sufficient to represent the state of applications and was replaced by a filterable list of all applications.
• Errors in the configuration of templates (missing, incomplete, or ambiguous signal roles) are marked with an error decoration

Application details

• The details pane now has a tabbed representation to accomodate different kinds of information.
• Basic applications and composite applications show the ‘Connection status’ view in the pane as before.
• Templated applications now show the ‘Connection status’ view in addition to the previously existing configuration view
• Errors in the configuration of participants (missing, incomplete, or ambiguous signal roles) are marked with an error symbol in front of the participant
• Changing signal role mapping for a participant will apply those changes to existing application instances (checkmarks in connection matrices)
