Common address parameters

Name of the bilateral table. In the case of IEC 61850, this can be an empty string.

-

Maximum size of MMS messages.
Some ABB devices need to increase this parameter (e.g. to 100,000) because they do not support sending a list of objects (GetNameList message) in parts.

bytes

32000

Maximum proposed transactions that could be sent and unacknowledged. The value can be reduced if the other party suggests a lower value at negotiation.

1 .. 32

5

Maximum proposed transactions that could be received without sending an acknowledgment. The parameter value is sent to the other party.
If the IED device is on a remote network segment, we recommend increasing the value of the parameter to suppress the effect of latency.

1 .. 32

5

The maximum level of nesting for MMS data structures.

1 .. 10

5

The maximum packet size for "ISO over TCP" protocol level (according to RFC 1006)

Timer, which permits the sending of an ICCP message Identify request to the communicating party to find out the validity of TCP/IP connection. To enable the timer a nonzero value must be specified. If the connection was aborted on the TCP/IP level, fast detection ensures its faster restoration.
This parameter is recommended in situations when transmitting data via large networks or when a small amount of data is transmitted via the active connection. The value 0 (implicit) turns off the HeartBeat timer. A positive value means the seconds to send a Heartbeat message. If any message is sent, the Heartbeat timer is reset and the Heartbeat message is sent only after a timeout elapses without any communication between partners.

sec

0

Delay inserted before repeated attempts to establish the connection after it has been broken. If the connection should be restored as fast as possible, set a small value or 0 seconds.

sec

10 sec

Maximum waiting time to receive TCP data. After this timeout elapses, the possible requirements (data) for sending to a communicating party are checked.
As communication is executed via one thread, the high value can reduce the speed of interaction with the party. The recommended value is 50 to 150 milliseconds.

msec

100 msec

The parameter activates creating TCP connections for each station. If the device supports multiple clients, communication can be parallelized.
If the parameter is set to NO, a single TCP connection will be created for all communication stations.

YES/NO

NO

The way IEC 61850 flags are mapped into D2000 flags A .. M.

IEC 61850 protocol has quality flags mapped into 13 bits of the Quality attribute, details are given in the description of the parameter Quality Index:

Mapping can be:

• None - flags A .. M are not set

• Simple - Quality attribute directly maps to flags A .. M

Note: after the change of this parameter we recommend a restart of the KOM process or communication partner so that all values come into the system with properly set flags.

None
/
Simple

None

The setting of Trigger parameters used to trigger reports (TrgOps). The following bits are used according to the standard (the numbering is from the highest bit, which is bit 0):

• bit 0 - reserved

• bit 1 - data-change

• bit 2 - quality-change

• bit 3 - data-update

• bit 4 - integrity

• bit 5 - general-interrogation

The default value is 0x74 (all bits are active except integrity - this is activated if the parameter Integrity Period is specified in the report configuration.
Note: ABB Substation Management Unit COM600 required 0x64, it did not support bit 3 - data-update.

1-byte octet string

74

The parameter enables specifying additional names of objects to query during browsing for I/O tags. Names must be separated by a space, e.g. "Obj1 Obj2". This makes it possible to handle the situation when IED deliberately does not list some objects in the GetNameList-Response message (response to a requested list of objects within a logical device).
Note: The ABB Substation Management Unit COM600 required parameter setting to LLN0 - this object was not propagated but it was important (it contained e.g. buffered and unbuffered reports).

Type of authentication. These types of authentication are supported:

• None - no authentication

• Password - password-based authentication. The password is transmitted unencrypted within ISO 8650-1 OSI Association Control Service layer.

None
Password

None

Password used if Authentication Type = Password

string

Write settings

Write Mode - Select/Execute

Method of writing for WriteType of SelectWithValue, Operate, Cancel, and TimeActivatedOperate types:

• One structured write - one request is generated with a single write for all items of the control structure.

• Multiple simple writes - one request is generated with several writes for individual components of the control structure ($ctlVal, $origin$orCat, $origin$orIdent, $ctlNum, $T, $Test, $Check, and optionally $operTm)

One structured write

Control - Originator Category

Parameter Originator Category ($origin$orCat) for WriteType of SelectWithValue, Operate, Cancel, and TimeActivatedOperate types. The parameter is a numeric value representing the category of the device performing the write:

• 0 - not-supported

• 1 - bay-control

• 2 - station-control

• 3 - remote-control

• 4 - automatic-bay

• 5- automatic-station

• 6- automatic-remote

• 7 - maintenance

• 8 - process

0

Control - Originator Identifier

Parameter Originator Identifier ($origin$orIdent) for WriteType of SelectWithValue, Operate, Cancel, and TimeActivatedOperate types. The parameter is a text identifier of the device that performs the write.
