Function specification

Each object represented on the Single Line Diagram can be completed with a detailed functional specification. This functional specification is accessed by double clicking the object. The functional specification is done by creating a Function Specification Diagram.

The Function Specification Diagram allows the user to :

• Define Function to group Logical Nodes on an Higher level

• Allocate Logical Nodes

• Select Data Objects and Data Attributes from Logical Nodes to be used for communication(GOOSE, SV, Report) and documentation purpose

• Create virtual IEDs

• Map Logical Nodes to IEDs

• Map virtual IEDs to real IEDs

• Add documentation references and text blocks to each element on the drawing.
