Description

IED test device and method {Apparatus and Method for testing Intelligent Electronic Device}

The present invention relates to an IED test apparatus and method.

In general, after the first installation of an Intelligent Electronic Device (ICE) and Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) in the field, the communication between the IEC 61850 server of the IED and the IEC 61850 client of SCADA is abnormal. In order to verify the presence, various tests and status values provided by the IED are tested to ensure that they are well communicated to the SCADA.

In the case of the IEC 61850 server embedded in the existing IED, data attributes corresponding to the measurement information input from various input terminals (CT / PT sensor, Digital Input, RTD, 4-20mA sensor, etc.) attached to the IED are included. To change the value and verify that it is well communicated to the IEC 61850 client, you must connect the equipment directly to each terminal of the IED to apply a physical signal.

You can also enable the values of data attributes that indicate the status of events (gas / temperature alarms, pick-ups, trips, etc.) that occur under certain conditions, and verify that the status is passed to the IEC 61850 client. The physical signal belonging to the specific range that generates is applied to the input terminal.

On the other hand, in the test for determining the integrity of the protection function of the IED, it is necessary to apply a physical signal such as voltage / current, but it is simply required to communicate the communication matters of the IEC 61850 server and the IEC 61850 client (measurement information / Current transformer (CT), voltage transformer (PT), digital input terminal (DI), RTD temperature sensor terminal, 4-20mA sensor, etc. to check whether the status information is normally transmitted, reports of IEC 61850, GOOSE Msg. The application of electrical signals by connecting equipment directly to the various terminals of the system not only requires considerable work time, but also requires multiple equipment to apply electrical signals to the input terminals of the IED.

If you have a simulated test that allows you to change the value of a data attribute that represents the measurement / status information of an IEC 61850 server mounted on the IED without actually applying a physical electrical signal to the various terminals of the IED, Work time can be reduced in various places, including IEC 61850 communication functional tests and training of engineering methods between IEC 61850 servers and clients.
