Virtual IEDs
Virtual IEDs serve multiple roles in STS. During system specification, they act as structural elements to group logical nodes that should be implemented by the same real device. This structuring can also be used to create and export IED specifications. During system integration, they serve as the primary tool to bind device implementation to the functionality of the specification.

Creating new Virtual IED
Virtual IEDs can be created using an entry from the ‘Virtual IEDs’ drawer of the palette. The default entry ‘virtual’ represents a blank slate. If any virtual IEDs have been added to the library, they will show up as additional entries.
