IEC 61850 Analog Controls that are created for the IEC 61850 Control Objects will have a Control tab on the Analog Control Form.
To create IEC 61850 Analog Controls, you have to use an SCL file which defines objects that contain the control object and corresponding Data Attribute structures. You can find the IEC 61850 Analog Controls in the Functional Constraint CO group in each logical node's folder.
Use the fields on the Control tab to define how the Geo SCADA Expert server handles information related to control requests for the selected point (see Controls in IEC 61850).
Use the Control tab to:
- Specify the Analog Control Range and Severity Properties (see Define the Control Settings for an Analog Output Point in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Core Point Configuration)
- Promote Retrieval of Data Associated with Controls (see Promoting Scanning of Outstations Associated with Controls).
-
Update an Output Point's Value Immediately Following a Successful Control Action.
- Configure the Control Options.
Once you select the In Service check box on the Analog Point tab of the IEC 1850 Analog Control Form, and have a proper configuration, if you right-click on the respective node in the Database pane, you can view the Control pick-action. The Control pick-action will only be available if your User Account has the required permissions to perform controls and the IEC 61850 driver is running and has a valid or healthy connection to the required IED.
The control model used by each control object in the CO functional constraint group is set by the ctlModel point in the CF functional constraint group. The ctlModel for each control will be in a folder of the same name as the control in the CF group. To check the current control model of a given control, locate the corresponding ctlModel point in the CF functional constraint group, right-click on the Point, and select View Status. In the Status Information dialog box that appears, check for the Current Value. For the ctlModel points, the value is an enumeration that represents the different control models. For further information see Enumerations.
You can also verify status of the control operations in the Events window. Right-click on the Mod (mode) point in the CF functional constraint group, and select Display Events. The Events window displays information if the control operation is successful or failed. The reason of failure code will be given in the event and further information can be found in the driver log. Fore more information on Events see Events.
