Assign Logical Nodes To virtual IEDs

The Function Diagram Editor supports Device (IED) independent function and communication engineering.

Select "Virtual IED" from the palette of the Function Specification editor.

Place it and name it "Bay Control & Protection". "Bay Control & Protection" is the role of the IED. No real IED is assigned yet.

Select “Assign Device” from the "Connection" drawer of the palette and connect the virtual IED with all the function groups as shown in the picture below

The virtual IED only serves to indicate which Logical Nodes must be implemented in the same device.

A virtual IED can be implemented only by one physical IED. Then the role and number of virtual IED should be defined carefully.

The yellow triangle indicates that the IED is not yet implemented you are currently on the specification phase.
