Compile IEC61850 communication
As Define before Helinks STS base the communication generation over 2 main principles :
the specification
the IED specificity
The communication configuration will impact these points :
Control Block creation or usage
Dataset creation or usage
GSE, SVM creation or usage
ExtRef creation or usage
LGOS / LSVS creation of usage
You can use the Communication Editor to check the generated communication.
The compilation of the IEC61850 communication is done by the tools bar button “Set SCL communication from specification”.

“Set SCL communication from specification” button
This will open the Communication Configuration Setting dialog where you can customize the communication generation.

Communication configuration dialog
This Dialog contains 3 main customization sections (Operation, Scope, Options).
Operation
the operation determine the action that will be performed
Configure Communication will create the communication (ControlBlock, dataset, extref,…)
Delete Communication Configuration will delete the existing communication configuration (ControlBlock, dataset, extref,…)
Set only Control Block Parameter will not change the current communication configuration by creating or using element (ControlBlock, dataset, extref,…) but will only adapt the control block parameters.
Configure Communication will create the communication (ControlBlock, dataset, extref,…)
104 action will write/remove 104 addresses in SCL
DNP action will write/remove DNP addresses in SCL
Save current configuration will backup the current project to the Archive folder
Restore configuration will restore an old version of the project from the Archive folder
Scope
The scope define one which element the operation is applied. The scope is subdivided in 3 area (Services, Publisher Subscriber, IED selection).
Services determine which service will be impacted by the operation
Publisher / subscriber determine which side (publisher / subscriber) of the service will be impacted by the operation
IED selection determine on which IEDs the operation will by applied
Options
The options allow to customize specific parts (GOOSE/SV mac addresses, appid) of the communication generation with global algorithm.
Channel setting use the information store on the service specification channel of the application to determine the generated value.
Make unique ensure an unique value during the generation process
Fixed Value force the generated value to an specific value
Channel setting is the preferred option.
By default the communication configuration algorithm restore APPID and MACAddresses if a previous generation was done. The recalculate check box allow to bypass this process and force the recalculation.
