Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Application
Interlocking Configuration Tool for IEC61850 is developed for the RCS-9700C series Bay
Control Units (BCUs) for IEC61850 or PCS-9700 BCUs to realize the interlocking function in the
bay level. Before a telecontrol command is executed, the BCU will check whether the
preprogrammed interlocking logic equations are met to permit the operation or not.
Interlocking logic equations can be configured straightly upon the BCUs to meet the customer’s
specific requirements via adding configurable logic by the Interlocking Configuration Tool for
IEC61850. The interlocking configuration file can be downloaded through either of the 2 ethernet
ports of the BCU.
The following figure shows the main interface of the Interlocking Configuration Tool for
IEC61850 . It consists of 4 parts:General System Toolbar, Device List Tree, Rule List and Text
output Dialog.
