Introduction

1 Introduction
Reydisp Manager is a Windows based application which enables configuration of Reyrolle devices.

It is compatible with Microsoft Windows XP SP2 or later, Windows Vista and Windows 7.

It provides the following features:

Configure device settings

Create and edit logic diagrams
Configure device IEC 61850 interface/time zone
Create user-definable current/voltage/thermal curves
Create user-definable language files
Edit IEC 61850 Stations using the optional System Configurator.

1.1 Installation
Clicking on the setup file will install Reydisp Manager. Reydisp Manager requires that .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.5 frameworks are
installed prior to running Reydisp Manager setup.

Setup will detect if either of these are missing and will display an error message.

Note: The .NET 2.0 framework can be downloaded from the Microsoft website here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=19

The .NET 3.5 framework can be downloaded from the Microsoft website here:

Introduction

Reydisp Manager is installed and running. However, there are no Reyrolle device templates available to use.

1.2 Install Reydisp Manager Templates

Before Reydisp Manager can be used to configure Reyrolle devices, device templates must be installed.

Note: Reydisp Manager must be installed before the templates can be installed.

A template is required for each model/software version that is to be used.

The templates are available by contacting Siemens Protection Devices Ltd or via the website.

For this example, the 7SR220 R7c-7b template will be installed.

Click on the installer. (Reydisp Manager Templates 7SR220 R7c-7b R3.exe).

The installer checks if Reydisp Manager is installed, and if the templates are compatible with the version of Reydisp Manager
that is installed.
If no template exists for 7SR220 R7c-7b, it will be created.
If a template already exists for 7SR220 R7c-7b, it will be updated. Any new devices created from this template will
use the new template. Existing devices created from the older templates will continue using the version of the template
they were created from. It may be necessary to update these devices to the installed template version in order to
synchronize them. See 3.9 Update Device from Template (page 78).

Introduction

1.3 Installing System Configurator

Reydisp Manager has been designed to work in conjunction with Siemens IEC61850 System Configurator.

System Configurator is an application that configures how different IEC 61850 devices communicate with each other via GOOSE
messages. It is also used to setup IEC 61850 reports in devices. For more details, see the System Configurator user manual.

If DIGSI 4.83 or later is installed with the System Configurator option selected, the System Configurator will automatically be
made available inside Reydisp Manager. No further action is required.

If the System Configurator is purchased separately, run Setup.exe to begin installation.

Select the required language then click OK.

Click Next.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 16

 Introduction

Enter your serial number in the box then click Next.

By default, System Configurator will install to Program Files. Click Browse to change the installation directory. Click Next to
continue.

Introduction

Click Install to start installation.

Click Finish to complete installation.

Note: Uninstalling the System Configurator will mean it is no longer available in Reydisp Manager!

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 18

 Introduction

1.4 Configuration without the System Configurator

If the System Configurator is not available, it is still possible to configure communications between IEC 61850 devices using a
third party tool.

The third party tool needs to be able to produce a CID or SCD file that can then be imported into Reydisp Manager.

Reydisp Manager

2 Reydisp Manager
Reydisp Manager allows multiple Reyrolle devices to be configured in a single project.
It provides the following features:
A task based approach for configuring devices.
Easy synchronization of device configuration.
User configurable logic diagrams.
IEC 61850 specific configuration options
System Configurator (optional) to configure stations.
Time zone configuration.
IEC 61850 interface configuration.
Easy to use single file SCD/CID import.

2.1 Using Reydisp Manager

The Reydisp Manager main window is split into the following sections:

2.1.1 Tree
This shows the name of the project, and the folder structure. The folder structure can be changed by dragging folders to move
them. The folder names and project name can also be renamed here. The project tree is used to organize your project into logical
folders and provides a quick way to navigate between folders.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 20

 Reydisp Manager

All of the items can quickly be expanded or collapsed by clicking on the View menu.

2.1.2 Item Pane

This shows the items inside a folder. Selecting an item displays a list of available tasks in the task pane below. Different tasks are
displayed depending on the item selected. The folder structure can be changed by dragging items or folders into other folders,
either here or in the tree. The folder names and item names can be renamed here.

The devices in the item pane can be viewed in one of three modes - Icons, List or Details, which can be selected by right
clicking and selecting the View from the context menu, clicking the View menu on the menu bar, or by clicking the Icons,
List and Details menu on the toolbar.

When in Details mode, there are various columns in the item pane. Clicking on a column header orders the item by that
column. Clicking on the column header again will reverse the sort order. The columns can be resized or reordered by dragging
the column headers with the mouse. The sorting can also be controlled by right clicking on the item pane and selecting the Sort
By from the context menu.

The available columns are:

Column Name Description

Item Name The name of the item. This column also contains an icon representing the item type.
IED Name The IED name of the device. This is only applicable for IEC 61850 devices. The function of the IED name is
explained later.
Type The type of item.
Status For Reyrolle devices, this displays the status of the device. This is explained in more detail later. Its primary
use is to show when a device needs synchronizing.
IP Address The IP address of the device. This is only applicable for IEC 61850 devices.
Author Displays the author, as entered in the Properties Window.
Last Modified Displays the time the item was last modified.
Comment Displays a comment, as entered in the Properties Window.
MLFB For Reyrolle devices, displays the MLFB ordering code of the device.

2.1.3 Task Pane

The task pane consists of different 'tasks' that are applicable for the selected item. The available tasks change depending on
which item is selected. Multiple tasks can be performed at the same time. If a task is already running and it is clicked again from
the Task Pane, the task that is already running will be displayed.

To see available tasks, select a device in the item pane. See 2.3 Adding Items to a Project (page 29) for instructions on how to do
this.

Select the Reyrolle device in the Item Pane, and a list of available actions will be displayed below in the Task Pane. The tasks
are organized into groups, such as Device Configuration, for configuring the device, and Utilities, for additional tasks.

Reydisp Manager

For a list of the action performed by each task, see 3 Reydisp Manager Tasks (page 52).

2.1.4 Window Management

Reydisp Manager displays a single application window. Inside this window, multiple projects can be open at the same time, each
project in its own window. The list of open windows is available from the Window menu. The standard window options of
Arrange Items, Cascade, Tile Vertically, Tile Horizontally, Minimize All, Maximize All and Restore
All are shown. Additionally, the windows can be quickly arranged by clicking on the Cascade, Tile Vertically and Tile
Horizontally buttons on the toolbar.

2.2 Reydisp Manager Projects

Reydisp Manager takes a project based approach to device configuration rather than a standalone device approach. This allows a
single project to contain the configuration of multiple devices making the configuration and management of multiple devices far
easier than managing each device independently.

Note: The file format of the Reydisp Manager Project (.rpf) file changed in Reydisp Manager 1.30. Projects created in Reydisp
Manager 1.30 and later are not compatible with versions 1.20 and earlier. However, projects created in Reydisp Manager 1.20
and earlier will be converted to the new file format when they are first opened in Reydisp Manager 1.30 or later.

2.2.1 Creating a New Project

There are several ways to create a new project:
Click File New.

The New Project window will open.

Enter a name for the project.

Click the Browse button to select a directory where the project should be saved to.
A subdirectory is created for the project in the selected location, by default. Its name is the same as the project name. This can be
changed by changing the text in the Directory text box. Untick the Create directory for project check box to save
the project file straight to the specified location without creating a subdirectory.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 23

Reydisp Manager

Click the OK button to create the new project file and return to Reydisp Manager.

The new project is open and ready to use.

2.2.2 Opening a Project

Reydisp Manager Project files are saved with a .RPF extension which is associated with Reydisp Manager. Double clicking on a
project will automatically open it in Reydisp Manager.

Other ways to open a project are:

Click the Open button on the toolbar.
Press the shortcut key CTRL + O.
Drag and drop a project file onto an empty area of the Reydisp Manager window and it will automatically open.

2.2.2.1 Converting Old Projects

Projects created using Reydisp Manager 1.20 and earlier use a different project file format to Reydisp Manager 1.30 and later.
When opening an old project file, Reydisp Manager will show the following prompt:

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 24

 Reydisp Manager

Clicking OK will convert the project to the new file format. Once the conversion is complete, the project will be opened. This
project will no longer be able to be used in Reydisp Manager 1.20 or earlier.
Clicking Cancel will cancel the conversion. The project will not be opened in Reydisp Manager and no changes will be made.

2.2.2.2 Opening Recent Projects

A list of the most recently opened projects is available by clicking File Open Recent. Clicking an item in the list will open it in
Reydisp Manager.

Note: Only one instance of Reydisp Manager can be opened at any one time and only one instance of each project may be
opened at any one time. Attempting to open a project that is already open in Reydisp Manager will give focus to that project
inside Reydisp Manager.

2.2.3 Exporting a Reydisp Manager Project

The entire Reydisp Manager project can be saved in a compressed single file format. This can be easily sent to other users, who
can import it and work on it. See Importing a Reydisp Manager Project (page 26).

2.3 Adding Items to a Project

Several different types of items can be added to a project. A new item can be added to a project by:

Clicking the Insert menu on the toolbar.

Clicking the Add drop down button on the toolbar.
Right clicking in the project window and selecting New.

The different items are:

Item Description
Folder A folder used to logically organize the items in the project. Folders may be nested.
Device A Reyrolle device, selected from a list of installed device templates.
Third Party ICD File A third-party device imported from another manufacturer's ICD file.
SNTP Server A SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) server is a time server that other items can synchronize their
clocks with.
Station A station groups multiple IEC 61850 capable devices together into a logical group that can communicate
with each other via IEC 61850.
Legacy Device A legacy Reyrolle device that supports Reydisp Evolution.

2.3.1 Creating a Folder

To organize the project more effectively, folders can be created which can contain other items, including additional folders.

A new folder can be added to the project by:

Clicking the Insert menu on the toolbar and selecting Folder.

2.3.2 Adding a Reyrolle Device

To add a Reyrolle device to the project, click Insert Device. This will bring up the device selection window.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 32

 Reydisp Manager

The device selection window lists all of the installed device templates, organized by Device Family (e.g. 7SR210), Software
Version (e.g. R7c-7b) and Device Variant (e.g. 7SR2103-1[AB]A[78]7-0CA0). The full name of any template is the Device
Family\Software Version\Device MLFB (e.g. 7SR210\R7c7b\7SR2103-1AA77-0CA0).

2.3.2.1 Manual Device Selection

Selecting a device is performed in 3 stages
1. In the tree, find the device family and software version of the device you wish to select. Selecting a software version in the
tree will enable the MLFB selection area.
2. The MLFB for the device family will be populated into the MLFB selection area. The MLFB will not be complete and will
require additional information. To enter a value into an MLFB field you may type the appropriate letters/numbers or select
them from the list below.
3. Once the MLFB is complete a review of the device information can be made in the MLFB selection area. Clicking the
Select button will complete the device selection.

2.3.2.2 Connected Device

If you wish to use a connected device for the basis of a new device in Reydisp Manager click the Connected Device button.
After selecting the communication settings for the target device it will be interrogated.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 33

Reydisp Manager

Note: See 3.3 Communications Settings (page 63) for details on configuring the communications settings.

If a matching device template is installed for the device it will be selected, the full MLFB of the device will be populated in the
MLFB selection panel. A quick review of the MLFB documentation and clicking the Select button will add the device to Reydisp
Manager.

2.3.2.3 Copying Configuration from an Existing Device

If a device has already been configured using Reydisp Manager, the device configuration can be downloaded when creating a
new device. This will download settings, logic, Communications Editor settings, etc from the device and the device can then be
edited in Reydisp Manager.

This is useful if a device has previously been synchronized and the user wishes to extract the configuration from the device. The
configuration can be edited just like any other Reydisp Manager device and then the changes can be synchronized with the
original device or even a new device, in the case of a replacement device or when a duplicate configuration is required.

Note: If the device was configured for IEC 61850 communication and used a station, the configuration will be downloaded and
can be synchronized to the device it was downloaded from or to another device. However, since the rest of the IEC 61850 station
configuration is not available, any changes made to the IEC 61850 configuration from Reydisp Manager will result in the IEC
61850 configuration that was downloaded being overwritten.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 34

 Reydisp Manager

Tasks that will change the IEC61850 configuration when saving changes include Configure Interface and Configure
Time Zone tasks and Compile EN100 Binary.

An example of the process is shown below.

Select the Copy from connected device checkbox. If the communication settings have not previously been set, you will be
prompted for them upon clicking Select. If the Copy from connected device checkbox is ticked, the connected device’s
configuration will be downloaded and used as the starting point for the new device.

2.3.2.4 Where to Find Device Information

While selecting a device it is necessary to know the MLFB and Software Version of the target device. The MLFB is labelled on the
fascia. The MLFB and additional information about the device software (including software version) is accessible via the
SOFTWARE VERSION menu. To access this menu (from the main screen) hold the CANCEL button, press and hold the
TEST/RESET button, release the CANCEL button then release the TEST/RESET button.

To discover the MLFB, navigate to the SOFTWARE VERSION menu and press DOWN until the MLFB item is displayed.
To discover the Software Version, navigate to the SOFTWARE VERSION menu and press DOWN until the Product Art No item
is displayed. The software version is in the form Rxx-xx, for example R7b-7a.

If the device supports IEC 61850, the default IED name is TEMPLATE. If the device does not support IEC 61850, it does not have
an IED name.

Reydisp Manager

The available tasks that can be performed on the device are listed below in the task pane.

2.3.3 Importing a Third Party ICD

Reydisp Manager allows a third party ICD to be imported into the project to be used in the system configuration. This allows a
mix of different vendor's IEC 61850 capable devices which can be configured to communicate with each other.

The third party ICD file is a file that will either be produced by a third party vendor's tool, or provided directly by the third party
vendor. This ICD file should be saved to disk.

To import a third party device, click Insert Third Party ICD File. This will bring up a file dialog, where the ICD file can
be selected.

Click Open to import the third party ICD into the project. The ICD file will automatically be copied into the project directory and
added to the project. The IED name is read from the ICD file and is also used as the default name for the device.

In this example, an ICD file has been imported with an IED name of "TestIcd1", and "TestIcd1" has been used as the default item
name.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 36

 Reydisp Manager

The third party device must be assigned to a station for it to be used. See 4.1 Assigning and Unsassigning Station Devices (page
108).

2.3.4 Adding an SNTP Server

An SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) server can be added to a station to allow the devices in the station to have their clocks
set by the SNTP server.

Note: This is useful when the device is assigned to a station. If the device is used as a standalone device, the address of an SNTP
server can be specified directly in the Configure Interface tool.

To add an SNTP server, click Insert SNTP Server. Alternatively, click the Add button on the toolbar or right click and select
Add SNTP Server.

By default, the name of this item is TEMPLATE, and the IED name is set to TEMPLATE.

See 2.3.9 Renaming Items (page 45) and 2.6.1 Changing IED Names (page 50) for details on how to change the item name or
IED name.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 37

Reydisp Manager

The SNTP server must be assigned to a station for it to be used. See 4.1 Assigning and Unsassigning Station Devices (page 108).

2.3.5 Adding a Station

A station is an item that allows multiple IEC 61850 capable devices to be grouped together. Devices in the same station can then
be configured to communicate with each other.

To create a new station, click Insert Station.

A new station is created and added to the project. By default, it is called "New Station".

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 38

 Reydisp Manager

This new station has no devices assigned to it. The next step is assigning some devices to it. See 4.1.1 Adding Devices to a
Station (page 108).

For more information about using stations, see 4 Stations (page 108).

2.3.6 Adding a Legacy Device

A legacy device is an older device that is not supported by a Reydisp Manager template. It provides access to Reydisp Evolution.
Each legacy device is created from a settings file.

The settings file can be in one of the following formats: .set, .SettingsTemplate, .RSF2 or .RSF3. If a settings file is not present,
but the device is connected, it is possible to create a legacy device by downloading a settings file from the device. This ensures
that the settings that are being edited match those on the device exactly.

To create a new Legacy Device, click Insert Legacy Device.

2.3.6.1 Create Legacy Device from Settings File

Select From existing settings file. Click Browse... and select the file to use. Information about the settings file will
be displayed.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 39

Reydisp Manager

Click OK when the desired settings have been chosen.

The legacy device is added to the project.

2.3.6.2 Connected Device

To add the device from the connected device instead of from an existing settings file, click on Insert Legacy Device.

Reydisp Manager

Select the appropriate settings to communicate with the device. Click OK to begin downloading settings. This may take a minute
or so. See 3.3 Communications Settings (page 63) for more information about communication settings.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 42

 Reydisp Manager

When this process completes, information about the settings is displayed, as shown in the above example. Click OK and the
legacy device will be added to the Reydisp Manager project.

2.3.6.3 Using the Legacy Device

Selecting the device will display the task pane.

The available tasks are:

Task Name Description

Settings Evolution.
Export Device Exports the device as a single file (.zip file). This can be imported into another project if required.
Reydisp Evolution Opens Reydisp Evolution. This allows settings to be manipulated, waveform records to be
viewed etc.
Open Device Folder Opens the device folder in Windows Explorer.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 43

Reydisp Manager

Clicking Configure Communications Settings allows the default communication parameters for Reydisp Evolution to be
changed. These should be set to match the device that will be used.

Clicking on Reydisp Evolution task will launch Reydisp Evolution with the specified communication settings. After opening
Reydisp Evolution, click File Open Open... and select the settings file for the group to be edited. The settings will be
displayed in the Reydisp Evolution Settings Editor where they can be manipulated, saved, or sent to the device.
Moving Items
A project may have any number of folders. Any folder may contain any number of other folders or other items.

To move an item, hold down the left mouse button and drag it to its new location.

There are some restrictions to observe when moving items:

An item cannot be moved into a folder if there is already an item in that folder with the same name.
An item cannot be moved if any tasks are open for that item.
A folder cannot be moved or renamed if any items inside the folder have any tasks open, including all sub folders.

2.3.7 Copying Items

To copy an item, hold down the left mouse button and drag it to its new location while holding down the control (CTRL) key.

On releasing the mouse, the items will be copied. It is possible to copy multiple items in one operation. It is also possible to copy
folders this way - each item inside the folder will be copied recursively, including other folders.

Any new devices created by copying existing devices will not be assigned to a station, even if the original device was assigned
to a station.
Any stations created by copying an existing station will not have any devices assigned to them, even if the original station did.

If an item already exists in the destination folder with the same name as the item being copied, a confirmation prompt will be
displayed. Clicking Yes will overwrite the existing item with the new item.

It is also possible to copy items between different projects. To do this, open two projects and drag the item/items from one
project to the other. Dragging between projects always copies - it never removes the item from the original project. Again, when
copying devices, any station assignments will not be copied, and any stations will not have their device assignments copied.

2.3.8 Cut, Copy & Paste

As well as moving items by dragging them, it is also possible to move or copy items using the Cut/Copy/Paste commands in
Reydisp Manager.

Cut:
CTRL + X on the select item(s).
Right click and select Cut.
Edit Cut.

Copy:
CTRL + C on the selected item(s).
Right click and select Copy.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 44

 Reydisp Manager

Edit Copy.

Paste:
CTRL + V where the item should be pasted.
Right click and select Paste.
Edit Paste.

Note:
Cutting an item will move it from its original location to the new location when it is pasted. However, If the item is cut then
pasted from another project, it will be copied, not removed, from the original project.
Any copied stations will not be assigned to any devices.
Any copied devices will not be assigned to a station.
Multiple items can be copied at a time.
Folders can be copied - everything inside the folder will be copied recursively, including other folders.

2.3.9 Renaming Items

An item can be renamed in several ways:
Select the item and press F2.
Select the item with the mouse. Select it again to enter Rename mode.
Right click on the item to rename and select Rename from the menu.

There are some restrictions to observe when renaming:

An item cannot be given the same name as another item in the same folder.
An item cannot be renamed if a task is open for that item. The task must be closed before renaming is allowed.
An item name must not be empty, or consist entirely of spaces.
A folder cannot be moved or renamed if any items inside the folder have any tasks open, including all child folders.

There is no restriction on the length of the item names, providing they observes the above rules.

Any type of item can be renamed - devices, stations and folders.

2.3.10 Deleting Items

Items can be deleted by right clicking on them and selecting Delete from the context menu, pressing the Delete button on
the toolbar or by pressing the Delete key.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 45

Reydisp Manager

A delete operation cannot be undone. For this reason, a confirmation message will appear before a deletion takes place.

Clicking Yes will remove the item from the project and from disk.

If there are any tasks that were launched from the task pane that are still active for the item, the deletion cannot be performed
and an error message will be displayed.

In this case, please close all of the tasks open for that item and try again.

Note:
Multiple items may be deleted at once.
A folder may also be deleted which will remove all of the items inside the folder too.
If a device is assigned to a station, and the station is removed, the device will no longer be assigned to a station.
If a device is assigned to a station and the device is removed, a Station Update will be required, if the System
Configurator is installed. This can be performed from the task pane and is required to update the SCD file to remove the
deleted device.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 46

 Reydisp Manager

Physically deleting the folder from the disk may fail if any of the items in the folder are being accessed by other applications.
This will not affect the removal of the item from the project inside Reydisp Manager. A warning message will be displayed if the
deletion of the physical folder fails.

2.4 Options
To configure various options for Reydisp Manager, click Tools Options.

This brings up the Reydisp Manager Options window.

2.4.1 Store window positions on exit

Stores size and position of each window when Reydisp Manager is closed down. The next time Reydisp Manager is opened, the
previous windows are shown with the same size and position as before.

2.4.2 Restore open projects on startup

When Reydisp Manager is closed down, it remembers which projects were open. Selecting this option will automatically open
those projects the next time Reydisp Manager is opened.

2.4.3 Check for out-of-date IEC 61850 configuration when closing

project
When the project is closed, Reydisp Manager checks if any IEC 61850 configuration files need updating. If they do, a prompt is
displayed asking if they should be updated. Clicking Yes will automatically update the IEC 61850 configurations for those out-
of-date devices.

2.4.4 Automatically recompile EN100 binaries after closing System

Configurator
When the System Configurator is closed, the EN100 binary of each Reyrolle device assigned to that station is recompiled. This
may take a while if a large number of devices is assigned to a single station. Unticking this option allows the automatic compiling
to be disabled. The EN100 binary will always be updated automatically before any attempt to synchronize the device and can be
manually recompiled by clicking Compile EN100 Binary from the task pane. The EN100 binaries can be updated in bulk by

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 47

Reydisp Manager

clicking the Compile EN100 Binary button on the toolbar and selecting all devices in the project or all devices associated
with the selected station (if a station is selected) from the Reydisp Manager toolbar or Project menu.

2.4.5 Default Project Path

This is the default path that is used when creating a new project and for various save/open operations. Press Select to change
this location.
System Configurator Installation to Use
If multiple System Configurator installations are detected, the version Reydisp Manager uses can be specified here.

Once a station has been created using a version of System Configurator, it is not recommended to change to using an earlier
version of System Configurator.

2.4.6 Default Options

Resets the options to the defaults.

Click OK to apply the new settings, or Cancel to cancel any changes.

2.5 Device Status

Reydisp Manager

The tabs that are displayed vary depending on the item selected, but all items have the General tab. This displays information
about the physical folder, the device model (for Reyrolle devices) and the time the item was created, amongst other things.

The Author and Comment text boxes can have their contents changed. This text is displayed in the Author and Comment
columns of the Item Pane.

2.6.1 Changing IED Names

Each IEC 61850 device has an IED name. The IED name is subject to the following restrictions:

It may be a maximum of 13 characters.

It may only contain the characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and _.
It must start with a letter, not a digit or underscore.
If the device is assigned to a station, an additional rule is imposed: The IED name cannot be the same as another IED name
assigned to that station.
For devices assigned to a station, any uncommitted changes (IED name changes/devices removed from the station) will remain in
the station SCD file until the System Configurator has been opened. Opening the System Configurator commits the changes. If
there are any pending changes that have not yet been committed, the IED names of the changed items cannot be reused until
the System Configurator has been opened to commit these changes to the SCD file.
The IED name is displayed in IED Name column in the Item Pane. To change the IED name, right click on the item, and select
Properties. This will bring up the Properties window. Click on the IEC 61850 tab at the top.

Reydisp Manager Tasks

To import the device, either to this project or a different project, click File Import Item.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 54

 Reydisp Manager Tasks

Select the device that was exported and click Open.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 55

Reydisp Manager Tasks

The device has now been imported. It has been given a new name (DeviceA (1) in this case) because an item with the same
name already existed. The settings, logic and other configuration settings are copied. However, if the device that was exported
was assigned to a station, the device that has just been created following the Import Device will not be assigned to a station.

3.2 Synchronizing Devices

When any changes are made to a device in Reydisp Manager, the device configuration needs to be uploaded to the physical
device to keep the two in step. To synchronize with a device, the device must be physically connected, either to the PC, or if it
supports IEC 61850 and has previously been configured with an IP address, via a network connection.

A single device may be synchronized on its own by selecting the device in the Task Pane and selecting Sync Device. The
device will be ticked, ready to sync.

Multiple devices can be synchronized simultaneously by clicking the Project Sync button on the toolbar or by clicking
Project Project Sync menu item.

If the System Configurator is installed, and any devices to be synchronized require a Station Update, a prompt will be
displayed asking if a Station Update should be performed. Clicking Yes will automatically perform a Station Update.

If there are any issues affecting devices in the project, those devices will be prevented from synchronizing until the issues are
corrected. Such issues include a mis-match of template versions, invalid IEC 61850 configuration etc.

If any IEC61850 devices that are not assigned to a station and have had changes made to their IEC61850 configuration since
their EN100 binary file was last compiled, the EN100 binary file will be recompiled automatically before displaying the
Synchronize Devices window. Any IEC61850 devices assigned to a station may need a station update to be performed
before the EN100 binary can be recompiled. A prompt will be shown, if required, to ask whether a station update should be
performed.

 Reydisp Manager Tasks

3.2.1 Single Device Synchronization

Select a device and click Sync Device from the task pane.

Once the device has finished updating any required configuration, the Synchronize Devices window is shown. The device
will be ticked by default.

3.2.2 Project Synchronization

Project synchronization will allow all Reyrolle devices in the project to be synchronized from one window. If each device is
communicating using a unique comms setting (for example, each device has a different IP address) the devices can be
synchronized in parallel, reducing the overall time required to perform the synchronization.

Only devices that are ticked will be synchronized. Ticking a folder will tick all devices in that folder. If multiple devices have the
same communications settings, only one of them can be synchronized. For example, if two devices are set to communicate over
the USB port at the same time, it is impossible for them to both be connected at the same time, so only one device will be
allowed to synchronize; the other will be unticked and a warning message displayed.

Reydisp Manager Tasks

3.2.3 Using the Synchronize Devices Window

The Synchronize Devices window is split into two sections. The top section shows which "features" need updating on the
device, and is also used for reporting various pieces of information about the connected device. Those features that are out-of-
step with the device are shown with a red icon, whereas those that are in-step, with no further action required, are displayed
with a green icon.

Status Description
Device Needs Update The configuration files for this feature have been updated in the project but these changes have not yet
been sent to the device. Clicking Send Changes will send the configuration changes required for this
feature to the device.
Device Up To Date The configuration files for this feature are the same as the configuration on the device. No further
action is required.

When device synchronization is performed, the bottom pane will show a list of tasks that are being performed to synchronize the
device, along with a status bar which shows the progress of each task.

The actions Send and Check Status will be performed on all of the ticked devices. Comms Settings, Restart,
Compare/Merge Settings, Download Settings and Cancel will apply to the currently selected device.

3.2.3.1 Project Association

The first time a device is synchronized within a project, it must be synchronized using the serial/USB port, not the Ethernet port.
By default, the device will not be configured with the desired IP address until the first time the device has been synchronized.
Once a device has been synchronized with the project for the first time, it may be synchronized using Ethernet for subsequent
tasks, providing it is an IEC 61850 capable device, an IP address has been configured and the device is available on the network.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 58

 Reydisp Manager Tasks

During the initial synchronization, a reference to the project will be stored on the device. This is used to 'lock' the device to that
project, and prevent other projects from accidentally synchronizing with it and altering its configuration.

If a different project attempts to synchronize with this device via serial/USB, it will display a message box warning that the device
is assigned to a different project.

Clicking Yes will associate the device with the new project rather than the previous project.

Note: Any user files on the device will be removed when associating the device with a new project. When the device is
associated with a new project it will be synchronized to match the new project. Files left on the device from another project are
not part of this project so they are removed.

Each device can only be associated with a single project. If the previous project attempts to synchronize with this device via
serial/USB it will have to repeat the steps above to associate with the device.

Note: The device can only be associated with a new project via serial or USB. This is a security feature to prevent a device being
remotely configured over Ethernet. Once the device has been associated with the project, future communications via Ethernet is
permitted.

If No is pressed when the prompt is shown, the status of the Device Project Association task will read Device is
associated with a different project. Synchronization will not be possible if the device is assigned to another project.

Reydisp Manager Tasks

3.2.3.2 Send
The Send button is split into four options – Send Changes, Send Changes without Settings, Send Entire Project
and Send Entire Project Without Settings.

3.2.3.2.1 Send Changes

This will attempt to send only the files that need sending to the device. Depending on what has changed, a restart may be
required. If a restart is required, it will be performed automatically after the files have been sent.

The task pane at the bottom is populated with a list of tasks that are to be performed to bring the device up to date. Some of
these tasks are validation checks to ensure the files are compatible with the connected device. Each task turns green when it
completes, or red if there is an error.

Send Changes will send the settings specified in the Reydisp Manager project to the device.

Note: Any settings that have been changed outside of Reydisp Manager will be overridden.

3.2.3.2.2 Send Changes without Settings

Same as Send Changes but does not send any settings to the device.

3.2.3.2.3 Send Entire Project

Send Entire Project performs the same action as the Send Changes button, except it sends everything to the device
instead of only those items that need updating. This will take longer than Send Changes.

This task will send the settings specified in the Reydisp Manager project to the device.

 Reydisp Manager Tasks

3.2.3.2.4 Send Entire Project without Settings

Same as Send Entire Project but does not send any settings to the device.

3.2.3.3 Check Status

Check Status will check the device configuration for problems and reports useful information into the top pane of the
Synchronize Devices window. This information includes relay MLFB, serial number, software version, whether the logic is
valid, whether the device is assigned to the project etc. It is often useful to run this task before clicking Send Changes or Send
Entire Project to give a quick overview of the device beforehand.

3.2.3.4 Comms Settings

See 3.3 Communications Settings (page 63).

3.2.3.5 Restart
This is used to manually restart the device. Clicking Send Changes or Send Entire Project will perform a restart at the
end of sending all necessary files, if required, so this option should only be used to manually restart the device.

3.2.3.6 Cancel
This cancels the device synchronization after the current task/set of tasks has completed.

3.2.3.7 Compare/Merge Settings

This downloads the settings from the device and compares them to the settings in the Reydisp Manager project. Once the
settings have been downloaded, the Compare Settings form is shown.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 61

Reydisp Manager Tasks

The settings from the device are shown in the left pane; the settings from Reydisp Manager in the centre pane; the final settings
that will be saved back to Reydisp Manager are shown in the right pane.

Setting differences are shown in blue or red. Blue indicates the setting is different between the device and Reydisp Manager
settings; red indicates the setting is only present on either the device or in the Reydisp Manager project but not both.

The differences in the above example have been highlighted. The setting values from Reydisp Manager for Favourite Meters
Timer and Operating Mode have been ticked so the values from the current Reydisp Manager project settings are copied to the
right pane, while the Trip Alert and Circuit Identifier settings have been left at the setting values used on the device.

Ticking the boxes in the centre pane will copy the setting values from the centre pane to the right pane. Unticking the boxes will
apply the setting values from the left pane instead. The settings in the right pane are the ones that will be saved into the Reydisp
Manager project, replacing the existing settings.

Closing the Compare Settings form will prompt to save:

If Yes is selected, the settings file will replace the device settings in the Reydisp Manager project. Pressing No will reject all of the
changes and leave the Reydisp Manager settings unchanged. Pressing Cancel will return to the Settings Comparison form.

Note: If the setting values selected in the Reydisp Manager project and the setting values on the device are the same, the
Compare Settings form is not shown because there are no differences to show. There may still be differences in setting
values that are not selected, so the merge will automatically occur after downloading the settings.

3.2.3.8 Download Settings

This will get a copy of the settings on the device and save them as an RSF3 settings file. Click Download Settings then select
where to save the settings file.

Note: Do not attempt to overwrite an existing device settings file, Groups.rsf3. If you want to replace the existing settings inside
Reydisp Manager, try Compare/Merge settings instead.

 Reydisp Manager Tasks

The resulting settings file will be downloaded and saved. Once it is saved, the settings can be opened in the Settings Editor or
imported into Reydisp Manager.

Reydisp Manager Tasks

The relay can be synchronized over the front USB port or rear communications port or Ethernet if the device supports IEC 61850
and has previously been configured via the USB or rear communications port with an IP address.

Clicking OK will close the Communication Settings window and save the settings.

3.3.1 Communication Type

Select Serial Port for serial or USB connections. The name of the comm port for a USB connection will end with Siemens
Protection Devices Relay. If an IP address has previously been set, select Ethernet.

Note: The first time the device is synchronized, it must be done via serial or USB. This is because the Ethernet port is not
configured with an IP address initially. Only after the device has been configured with an IP address and the device has restarted
can the device be synchronized over Ethernet by specifying the IP address.

3.3.2 Serial Port Setup

Comm Port: Select the comm port the device is connected to.
Note: If the device is connected via USB, the Baud rate will automatically be set to 57600 and the parity to None.
Baud Rate: Select the Baud rate set on the device.
Parity: Select the parity that matches the parity set on the device.

3.3.3 Ethernet Setup

Override IP Address: If Ethernet is selected, it is possible to manually specify an IP address to use instead of the default. This is
useful when changing the IP address of a device because the device will still be using the old IP address until the new IP address
has been sent and the device restarts. The overridden IP address will not be saved.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 64

 Reydisp Manager Tasks

IP Address: The IP address to use for communications. This is set by the Configure Interface or System Configurator tasks, but it
may be overridden temporarily for device synchronization to take place.

3.3.4 Relay Settings

Station Address: This must match the station address set on the device, in the COMMUNICATION SETTINGS menu.

3.3.5 Relay Password

Use Relay Password: Determines whether a password must be used to connect to the device.
Relay Password: 4 digit password. This must match with the setting password set on the device for communications to succeed,
if a password has been set.

Note: The relay communication settings are visible on the relay by pressing ENTER, pressing RIGHT until SETTINGS MODE is
displayed, then pressing DOWN until COMMUNICATIONS is displayed. Press RIGHT to view the communication settings.

The relay comm port protocol must be set to IEC60870-5-103 for communications to work.

3.4 Configure Interface

This is used to configure the IEC 61850 interface, and is only valid for IEC 61850 compatible Reyrolle devices.

3.4.1 IP Address Tab

This tab allows the IP address of the device to be configured. The IP address, subnet mask and gateway address all need to be set
for the device to communicate on the network. These values will vary depending on the network. The values shown here are an
example only.

If a device is assigned to a station, then the device IP address is set by the station and the ability to configure it from the IP
Address tab is disabled to avoid conflicting IP addresses.

3.4.3 Redundancy Tab

Interface Type: By default, all IEC 61850 Reyrolle devices are set to use IEC61850 Electrical RJ45. If a fibre optic interface
is present, this should be changed to IEC61850 Fibre. To do this, select IEC61850 Fibre from the Interface Type drop
down menu.

Operating Mode: Select between Line mode or Switch mode. Default is Line mode. (All further options are only enabled if
the operating mode is set to Switch).

Redundancy Type: When the Operating Mode is set to Switch, redundancy options are available to select. This can show RSTP,
OSM, PRP and HSR depending on the interface type.

Note: See for further information on IEC61850, PRP and HSR protocols and configuration.

3.4.3.1 RSTP
RSTP stands for Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol. This is a standard network redundancy protocol. When this option is selected, the
Advanced options are enabled. Each of the parameters is used to configure the RSTP settings to be compatible with the
switches/devices on the network. Clicking the Default button will revert parameters back to their default values. It is only
available for optical EN100 modules.

3.4.3.2 OSM
OSM is a Siemens legacy redundancy protocol. It is only available for optical EN100 modules.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 67

Reydisp Manager Tasks

3.4.3.3 PRP
PRP stands for Parallel Redundancy Protocol. It is available on both electrical (EN100+ only) and optical EN100 modules. See PRP
Mode for more information.

3.4.3.4 HSR
HSR stands for High-availability Seamless Redundancy. It is available on optical EN100 modules. See HSR Mode for more
information.

3.4.4 SNTP Tab

The SNTP tab allows an SNTP server to be specified for the device. Two SNTP servers can be specified, a primary and a secondary
server. If the device is assigned to a station, the SNTP servers will be visible in the SNTP tab, but will be read-only. This is because
the SNTP servers are set using the System Configurator (or the third party tool used to create the SCD file).

Clicking OK will apply the new interface settings to the device in the project.

3.5 Configure Time Zone

This allows the time zone to be set for the relay and allows the daylight saving times to be set. This is only applicable for IEC
61850 capable Reyrolle devices.

By default, the relay is set to GMT, with no daylight saving offset specified.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 68

 Reydisp Manager Tasks

3.5.1 Time zone offset to GMT

This should be set to the offset to GMT.

3.5.2 No summer time switchover

Ticking this results in the time remaining the same throughout the year. If this is ticked, the options below it relating to summer
time are disabled.

3.5.3 Summer time offset to GMT

This should be set to the offset to GMT for summer time.

3.5.4 Start of Summer Time

The time daylight savings start.

3.5.5 End of Summer Time

The time daylight savings ends.

Clicking OK will apply the new time zone to the device in the project.

3.6 IEC 61850 SCL Configuration

The IEC 1850 SCL Configuration tool, visible in the task pane when an IEC 61850 enabled Reyrolle device is selected, allows the
SCL tree for the device to be configured by enabling or disabling IEC 61850 Logical Nodes.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 69

Reydisp Manager Tasks

Logical Nodes are grouped by Logical Device. A Logical Node that is checked (ticked) will be enabled; a Logical Node that is not
checked will be disabled. Clicking the OK button will save the SCL configuration for the current device. Clicking Cancel will
close the IEC 61850 SCL Configuration tool without saving any modifications.

Logical Nodes which have been disabled will not be visible in the IEC 61850 SCL tree of the device after the project has been
synchronized with the device.

3.7 Reload Firmware

This task will reload the firmware that is installed for the device variant. This will revert the device to its factory defaults. Any
logic, settings, language files, curves or other changes on the device will be lost. However, synchronizing the device once the
firmware has been loaded will reapply the logic, settings etc. to the device.

To reload the firmware, the device should be connected via USB or serial. Reloading the firmware over the network is not
supported. The device selected in the project must be of the same variant as the physical device, otherwise loading the firmware
will be prevented.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 70

 Reydisp Manager Tasks

Clicking Yes will launch the firmware installation wizard.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 71

Reydisp Manager Tasks

Following the wizard will load the firmware and restore the device to its factory defaults.

3.8 Migrate Device

Every time a new device is created, it is created from a specific template with a specific software revision. Each variant has a
different template, and each variant can only synchronize with a device of the same variant and software revision. For example,
7SR220/R7c-7b/7SR2204-2AA77-0DA0 can only synchronize with a 7SR220 device that has version R7c-7b of the
firmware installed and is a 7SR2204-2AA77-0DA0 model. Migrate Device is used to change a device to a different variant
whilst maintaining its settings, logic and other configuration.

Another use for Migrate Device is when multiple identical devices are copy/pasted, but one device needs changing to a
different variant, whilst maintaining the same (or similar) settings and logic and other configuration. It is often quicker to adapt
an existing device than to start with a new device and configure it.

For this example, a device has been created, 7SR2204-2AA77-0DA0. It will be migrated to 7SR2204-2AA11-0CA0.

Click Migrate Device from the Task Pane. The template of the current device is selected which partially fills in the MLFB.
The remainder of the MLFB should be filled in manually by either typing the correct MLFB in or selecting the options for each
character position until all characters are filled in. Only then will the Select button be made available.

To select a new device type to migrate to you could:

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 72

 Reydisp Manager Tasks

Find the matching device template and select it.

Find the parent software revision folder for the device.

Once a template or software version folder has been selected you will now need to complete the MLFB for the device.

The settings for the device will be compared to the default settings for the new variant. This will provide the opportunity for the
existing settings for the device to be copied to the new device variant.

The following steps occur when a device migrates to a new device template:

1. Migrate Logic
2. Migrate Settings
3. Migrate IEC61850 Configuration

3.8.1 Migrate Logic

The logic migrate will attempt to change the existing logic scheme so that it is valid for the new device template. The diagram
below shows the operation.

The different outcomes are explained below:

1. The logic migration was successful. The next synchronization will send the logic scheme to the device.
2. The logic migration was unsuccessful because some signals in the logic scheme that existed in the previous template do
not existing in the new template. A prompt is displayed asking whether the migration should continue.
a. Choosing to continue with the migration requires that the logic scheme is manually adjusted with Reylogic
Express before Reydisp Manager can synchronize with the device. Any signal names in the logic scheme that
have a different name in the new template will automatically be updated to use the new name.
b. Choosing not to continue with the migration results in the migration being cancelled. The device will remain
as it was before the migration and no device configuration changes will be made.

3.8.2 Migrate Settings

The window is split into three sections. Default settings for the selected variant, settings from the current device and on the
right, the final settings that will be saved.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 74

 Reydisp Manager Tasks

The settings are displayed in a tree. The setting name (and setting units, if the setting has any units associated with it - e.g. "min"
for minutes) and its value are displayed.

Settings that are group settings can be further expanded to show the value for each group. G1 represents Group 1 and so on:

Settings that are common have their value displayed in brackets next to the setting name:

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 75

Reydisp Manager Tasks

If a setting is different between the current device and the new variant, it will be shown in blue.

If a setting is present on the current device, but not on the new variant, it will be prevented from going into the final settings file
and it will be shown in red. In the new variant settings and final settings panes it is shown with a cross icon it because the setting
does not exist in the settings for the new variant. The setting cannot be ticked because the setting is not present in the new
variant’s settings.

If a setting is present on the new variant but not on the current device, it will be shown in red and it will be used in the new
settings file with the default value. The setting cannot be ticked as it doesn’t exist in the current settings file, so there is no value
to copy.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 76

 Reydisp Manager Tasks

Settings that are to be copied from the current device settings to the new variant's settings are copied by ticking the checkbox in
the centre pane. By default any settings that can be copied from the current device to the new variant are ticked if they differ to
the default settings for the new variant.

To copy the setting from the current device to the new variant, tick the box in the centre window. Ticking a parent folder will
apply all possible settings to the settings inside that folder recursively. Unticking a parent folder will untick all child items and use
the default settings.

Ensure any settings to be copied are ticked, otherwise the default values will be used. To continue with the migration, close the
Compare Settings window.

Clicking Cancel will return to the Compare Settings window. Clicking No will close the Compare Settings window and
will cancel the migration. Clicking Yes will continue with the migration.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 77

Reydisp Manager Tasks

Note: Take special care to check any differences in the INPUT CONFIG and OUTPUT CONFIG as different variants may have
different I/O configurations. For example, the initial device may have 8 LEDs and have settings set for each of the LEDs. Migrating
it to a device variant that has 16 LEDs will result in the first 8 LED settings being copied, but not the final 8 LED settings as they
don't have a matching setting in the original device, so these will be left as the default values.

3.8.3 Migrate IEC61850 Configuration

This step will only occur if the device that is being migrated to support IEC 61850. At the end of the migration, if the device is
assigned to a station, and the System Configurator is installed, the station will automatically be updated. This may take a few
seconds. Once this is complete, the migration is complete.

Reydisp Manager attempts to maintain the selected IEC 61850 edition of the device during a migrate operation. For example, if
a device is in IEC 61850 edition 2 and the template being migrated to supports IEC 61850 edition 2, the device will remain in IEC
61850 edition 2. However, if the template being migrated to does not support the selected edition, IEC 61850 edition 1 will be
selected for the device. See 5 IEC 61850 Edition (page 134) for more information about IEC 61850 editions.

3.8.4 Complete Migration

The device has now been migrated to be a different variant. It can be now be synchronized; however only with a compatible
device. Trying to synchronize a device in the project to a physical device with a different MLFB is not allowed.

3.9 Update Device from Template

Templates are installed using separate installers for each product family. Newer templates will sometimes be released to replace
older templates. These can be for issues such as

Every Reyrolle device in the project is originally created from a template. That template has a version number, e.g. 7SR220
R7a-7a R1. This version number is used to record the version of the template the device was created from.

If a newer template version is installed, the device must be updated to use the latest template before it is allowed to synchronize,
or an earlier template version installed that matches the devices in the project.

To change the device to use the latest version of the template, click Update Device from Template. This will bring up the
Compare Settings window so any differences between device settings and the default template settings for the new
template can be resolved. See 3.8 Migrate Device (page 72) for details of how to use the Compare Settings window.

When the selected settings to copy have been ticked, close the Compare Settings window and click Yes to save the settings.
Once the settings have been saved, the newer device template files will be copied to the device folder, allowing the device to
synchronize. The device has now been updated to use the newer template.

Note: The device may still be prevented from synchronizing if the installed firmware does not match the firmware included with
the template, in which case an upgrade of the firmware should be performed. See 3.6 IEC 61850 SCL Configuration
The IEC 1850 SCL Configuration tool, visible in the task pane when an IEC 61850 enabled Reyrolle device is selected, allows the
SCL tree for the device to be configured by enabling or disabling IEC 61850 Logical Nodes.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 78

 Reydisp Manager Tasks

Logical Nodes are grouped by Logical Device. A Logical Node that is checked (ticked) will be enabled; a Logical Node that is not
checked will be disabled. Clicking the OK button will save the SCL configuration for the current device. Clicking Cancel will
close the IEC 61850 SCL Configuration tool without saving any modifications.

Logical Nodes which have been disabled will not be visible in the IEC 61850 SCL tree of the device after the project has been
synchronized with the device.
Reload Firmware (page 69).

3.10 Import Settings

The Import Settings feature allows previously configured device settings to be applied to a device inside Reydisp Manager.

Settings files from Reydisp Evolution 32 are saved with an RSF2 extension. These files contain the settings for a single settings
group. For example, Group 1 or Group 2.

The Settings Editor included with Reydisp Manager supports the newer RSF3 files which contain the settings for all groups.
For example, settings for Group 1, 2, 3, through to Group 8 for devices that provide 8 groups.

After clicking Import Settings, select an existing settings file to copy the settings from. The settings file can be the older
RSF2 file or the newer RSF3 settings file. An existing file created with Reydisp Evolution can be used, or an existing setting file
created by Reydisp Manager can also be used.

Reydisp Manager Tasks

3.10.1 Importing an RSF3 File

Select the required RSF3 file and click Open. The Compare Settings window will be shown.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 80

 Reydisp Manager Tasks

The Compare Settings window will be displayed. The current device settings are displayed on the left and the settings from
the selected file are displayed in the centre pane. The pane on the right is the list of settings that will be saved. This is a
combination of the current device settings, plus any settings to be applied from the selected file. To select a setting to copy, tick
the box. To prevent a setting from being copied, untick the box.

The differences have been highlighted in this example to show which settings will be copied from the settings file. By default, all
settings that are different are ticked, so those settings will be copied. For common settings, which are the same for all groups,
there are no sub-items. For group settings, clicking on the + sign shows the setting for each group.

When the settings are saved, the settings in the right pane will be the ones that are used. To save the setting changes to the
selected device, close the Compare Settings window and click Yes when prompted to save.

3.10.2 Importing an RSF2 File

An RSF2 file only contains settings for a single group. Selecting an RSF2 file will display an additional dialog.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 81

Reydisp Manager Tasks

Selecting Apply settings to all groups will apply the same group specific settings to each group. Alternatively,
selecting Apply settings to a specific group allows a specific group to be selected that the RSF2 settings will be
applied to. Note that any common settings (non-group specific) will be applied to all groups irrespective of the selected option.

The Compare Settings window will be displayed.

In the example below, a setting file has been imported that has the 81-1 Element setting set to Enabled and the 81-1
Setting set to 48Hz. When asked, Apply settings to all groups was selected, so the same setting value will be
applied to all groups.

If Apply settings to a specific group was selected instead of Apply settings to all groups with the group
set as Group 2 for example, then the remaining groups would display Disabled for each group setting for 81-1 Element
and 49.5Hz for the other 81-1 Setting. The settings for Group 2 would then be set to Enabled and 48Hz.

When the window is closed, a save confirmation is shown. Clicking Yes will save the settings, and clicking No will discard any
changes.

3.11 Compile EN100 Binary

This forces the EN100 binary to be recompiled, whether it is flagged as needing recompiling or not. This option is only applicable
to IEC61850 capable Reyrolle devices.

The EN100 binary needs recompiling whenever the station it is assigned to changes, the IED name is changed or the time zone or
interface options are modified. The status of the device in the Task Pane indicates whether the device needs recompiling. It
will automatically be recompiled prior to synchronizing, if required, but this option allows it to be manually recompiled.

 Reydisp Manager Tasks

3.12 Import CID/SCD

A single Reyrolle device may be configured externally for IEC 61850 communications by a tool which produces a CID (Configured
ICD File) or an SCD file. A CID file is an SCD file but only contains information relevant to a single device instead of every device in
the station.

A CID file can be exported from the System Configurator. See 4.4 Exporting a Device CID File (page 113) for more details about
exporting a CID file.

Assigning a station to a single device is called a "Local Station". A local station is only ever assigned to a single device therefore it
does not show up in the project as a station because its assignments cannot be changed.

The CID/SCD import is used in the following scenario:

Another vendor's tool is used to configure a station. The tool imports the Reyrolle device ICD and configures the station to use
the Reyrolle device. In this scenario, we need the station configuration to also be applied to the Reyrolle device in Reydisp
Manager so both the vendor's tool and Reydisp Manager are using the same device configurations to enable the devices to
communicate over the network.

The following is a likely scenario:

1. A project is created in Reydisp Manager and a Reyrolle device is added. The ICD for this device is exported.
2. Another vendor's tool is used to configure the station (SCD file). To configure the station, the tool needs to import the
Reyrolle device before it can configure it.
3. The ICD is added to the station, and the station is configured, including IP configuration and GOOSE mappings.
4. The SCD (or CID) is exported from the vendor's tool.
5. The CID/SCD file is imported to the device in Reydisp Manager. This creates a local station using the configuration
information in the CID/SCD file. It's IP address has been set and any GOOSE messages have been setup. The device can now
by synchronized and it will be fully configured for IEC 61850 communications with the other devices in the station.

If a CID file is used, which only has a single device, the IED name of the device will be changed to match the IED name in the
CID file.
If an SCD file is used, the IED name of the device must match up with the IED name of the device in the SCD file.
If the device is already assigned to a local station, performing a CID/SCD import will replace the local station with a new local
station.
If the device is already assigned to another station, the import cannot be performed. Remove the device from the station first
and try the import again. See 4.1 Assigning and Unsassigning Station Devices (page 108 ).

3.12.1 Walkthrough Importing a CID/SCD file

Create a new device in Reydisp Manager. Change the configuration - logic, settings, IEC 61850 interface or time zone as
required.
Update the device name and IED name as required.
Select the device and select Export ICD from the Utilities section of the task pane.

3.17 Reyrolle Language Editor

Reyrolle Language Editor is a tool to configure text on the device fascia. Settings, meters and miscellaneous text can be
changed using Reyrolle Language Editor.

Note: The language file changes can be performed offline and then sent to the device on site. However, when a language file is
sent to the device an additional setting, Language Setting, is created to select between available languages. To be able to
see the Language Setting from the Setting Editor in Reydisp Manager, the language file must first be sent to the device,
and then the updated settings will automatically be downloaded into the Reydisp Manager project. Once this has been done, the
language file can be selected from the language setting in the Setting Editor.

Once the updated settings have been sent to the device, the device will switch into the specified language. The settings will
appear on the device in the new language. The settings will also automatically be downloaded into the Reydisp Manager project
and will then, and only then, be viewable in the specified user language.

Reyrolle Language Editor is launched by selecting the desired Reyrolle device and clicking Language Editor in the task
pane.

The user manual for Reyrolle Language Editor explains how to use the application in more detail. The user manual can be
accessed by clicking Help User Guide from the Language Editor main window.

Reydisp Manager Tasks

Note: When launched from Reydisp Manager, certain features and menu items that are shown in the Reyrolle Language Editor
manual are not available. These additional features aren’t required when launching from Reydisp Manager because Reydisp
Manager automatically handles all the opening and saving of files. Sending language files to the device is handled as part of the
device synchronization.

3.17.1 Language Files

When the user specified text in Reyrolle Language Editor is saved, a language file is saved. The next time Reyrolle
Language Editor is opened, the language file will be opened automatically.

3.17.2 Using a Language File

There are several steps required to create and use a language file. These are explained in more detail below.

1. Configure the device – settings, IEC61850 etc.

2. Create a Language File
3. Send the Language File to the device by clicking Sync Device. This will download updated settings from the device
containing a new language setting.
4. Change the settings in Reydisp Manager to use the new language file
5. Send the settings to the device to change the language used
6. Edit the settings in the new language

3.17.2.1 Create a Language File

To get started with a language file, open Reyrolle Language Editor by clicking Language Editor. This will create the
language file needed to provide user-definable text.

Ensure the Enable User-Defined Language box is ticked on the toolbar in Reyrolle Language Editor.
When this box is ticked, the language file will be stored on the device during device sync.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 92

 Reydisp Manager Tasks

If the box is unticked, the file will still be editable and will still be saved, but it will not be stored on the device.
If the language file is already present on the device, unticking this box will remove the language file next time the
device is synchronized.

The Language Name on Relay text box allows the name of the language file to be changed. This name can contain the
characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and spaces and can be a maximum length of 20 characters. The name entered here will be the name of
the setting visible on the device under Language Setting.

Note: If the language name is changed after the device has been synchronized using a previous language file with a different
name, the device language will revert to the default language (usually English) when the device is next synchronized. Follow the
steps below to change the settings to use the new language file name.

Change the text in Reyrolle Language Editor and close. In the basic example below, a number of settings have been
suffixed with 123 to demonstrate the process.

A save prompt will be displayed. Click Yes when asked whether the changes should be saved. The language file will now be
saved.

Note: For more information on how to use Reyrolle Language Editor, see the help manual by opening Reyrolle
Language Editor and clicking Help User Guide.

3.17.2.2 Send Language File to Device

Once a language file has been created, it needs to be stored on the device. To do this, click Sync Device then click
Send Send Changes. When synchronizing the device, the language file will be stored. Once the file has been stored on the
device, updated device settings will be downloaded from the device. The entire process may take several minutes.

When device synchronization completes, close the Sync Device window.

3.17.2.3 Change Settings to Use the New Language File

The language file is now stored on the device, ready to be used, but the settings on the device need to be changed to tell the
device to use the new language file. Click Settings to open the Setting Editor.

Select the SYSTEM CONFIG menu and the first setting in the SYSTEM CONFIG menu should be Language Setting. This will
be set to the default language (usually English). Change this to the new language (in the example above this was called User
Defined).

Reydisp Manager Tasks

Close and save the change to the settings.

3.17.2.4 Sending Updated Language Setting to Device

The next step is to send the settings to the device. This will tell the device to use the new language setting. Click Sync Device
and then Send Send Changes to Device.

It will take a moment to send the updated settings to the device. Once the settings have been sent to the device, the device will
restart and will start up using the new language. The settings will then be downloaded from the device in the new language so
they can be viewed/edited in the Setting Editor in Reydisp Manager.

3.17.2.5 Editing Settings in User Defined Language

Click Settings to open Setting Editor.

In the example below, SYSTEM CONFIG was changed to SYSTEM CONFIG123 and System Frequency was changed to

Click Device Sync and then Send Send Changes which will remove the existing language file from the device. The device
will restart after removing the language file and will then download the updated settings. The device has been reverted to the
default language.

If any settings are set to values that have had their name changed by the Language Editor, the Compare Settings
window will be shown. Any setting names that had been changed in the Language Editor will now be reverted to their
original names. Close the Compare Settings window and click Yes to accept the changes.

The settings can now be viewed/edited in the Setting Editor.

3.18 Reyrolle Curve Editor

Reyrolle Curve Editor allows user-definable curves to be created. A guide to using Reyrolle Curve Editor to send a
curve to the device is presented below. For a more detailed guide on using Reyrolle Curve Editor, refer to the Reyrolle
Curve Editor user manual. The user manual for Reyrolle Curve Editor can be accessed by opening the Reyrolle
Curve Editor main window and clicking Help User Guide.

3.18.1 Curve Files

The following curve types are supported. The curve types available depend on the device template.

Curve Type Curve Extension Description

Current Curve .I_CRV Current curve, for use with IDMTL current elements.
Voltage Curve .V_CRV Voltage curve, for use with IDMTL voltage elements.
Thermal Curve .THERM_CRV Thermal curve, for use with thermal elements.

3.18.2 Using Reyrolle Curve Editor

Note: Curve files can be created and then sent to the device on site. However, the device settings must be changed in the
Setting Editor to set the element to use the user curve characteristic. This can only be done when connected to the device.
The settings are updated on the device to include the new curve when the curve is stored on the device during synchronization.
The settings are then retrieved from the device when synchronizing. Only then can the curve files be selected for use by an
appropriate element (IDMTL characteristic setting, for example) in the Setting Editor.

To launch Reyrolle Curve Editor, click on one of the curve options (the actual curve modes available are device
dependent).

After sending the curve file, the device will restart. After restarting, the updated settings from the device will be downloaded.
These settings include the new curve file, which will be selectable for the appropriate settings.

3.18.3.1 Compare Settings after Sending Curve

Note: This is only applicable if the curve characteristic settings have been changed from the default using the Setting Editor
and then synchronized prior to sending the curve file.

After sending a new current curve, the values available for the current IDMTL characteristic settings have changed because a new
user curve is available. The characteristic settings for all current IDMTL elements are defaulted. The same thing happens when
adding/deleting voltage curves – voltage IDMTL characteristic settings are defaulted, and when adding/deleting thermal curves
the 49 Thermal Overload Element setting will be defaulted.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 101

Reydisp Manager Tasks

In this example, the settings for 51-1 Char have been changed from the defaults for Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3 to
ANSI-MI, ANSI-VI and ANSI-EI respectively. After sending the curve file, the updated settings are downloaded. The
Compare Settings window is shown but the current IDMTL characteristic settings have been defaulted to IEC-NI. By ticking
the boxes in the centre pane, the ANSI-MI, ANSI-VI and ANSI-EI settings can be restored.

Close and accept the changes. The updated settings will be sent to the device.

3.18.3.2 Selecting the Curve in the Setting Editor

Close the Synchronize Devices window once the device synchronization has completed.

Now the curve file has been stored on the device and the updated device settings have been downloaded to Reydisp Manager.

The curve can be selected in the IDMTL settings. Click Settings to open the Setting Editor.

 Reydisp Manager Tasks

Make the required changes, close Reyrolle Curve Editor and save changes then click Exit to return to Reydisp
Manager.

Click Sync Device and then Send Send Changes. The updated curve will be stored on the device.

3.18.5 Removing a Curve from the Device

To remove an existing curve, open Reyrolle Curve Editor and untick the box for the appropriate curve. This will leave the
curve in the Reydisp Manager project so it can be edited or reused later. To remove it permanently, click Delete Curve
instead. Click Exit to return to Reydisp Manager.

Click Sync Device then Send Send Changes. The curve file will be removed.

Once Send Changes has completed, the curve will be removed. The device will restart and the updated settings will be
downloaded now that the user curve isn’t selectable. The Compare Settings form will be shown.

Note: The settings available for the current IDMTL characteristic settings have changed because the current user curve is no
longer available. Therefore, the settings for all current IDMTL elements will be defaulted. The same thing happens for voltage

Reydisp Manager Tasks

curves – voltage IDMTL characteristic settings are defaulted when removing a voltage user curve, and for thermal curves the 49
Thermal Overload Element will be defaulted when removing thermal use curves.

In the example below, the 51-1 Element had the 51-1 Char setting set to MyCurve for Group 1, ANSI-EI for Group 2,
ANSI-VI for Group 3 and Groups 4-8 as the default, IEC-NI. Removing MyCurve results in all of the current characteristic
settings being set to IEC-NI, the default. Ticking G2: ANSI-EI and G3: ANSI-VI will reapply those setting values.

Check the settings once the curve has been removed to confirm the settings are the desired value!

In the Compare Settings window, tick the setting values in the centre pane to apply the previously used values instead of the
defaults.

Close the Compare Settings form and click Yes to accept the changes. The settings have now been updated inside the
Reydisp Manager project.

The updated settings will be sent to the device. In the example above, this will change the setting values for 51-1 Char to
ANSI-EI for Group 1 and ANSI-VI for Group 2. The Synchronize Device window can now be closed.

Stations

4 Stations
An IEC 61850 station is a substation in which all devices communicate with each other in accordance with IEC 61850.

A station may have multiple IEC 61850 capable devices connected to it.

The station can be configured in one of two ways:

1. Using the System Configurator. This is an optional component. If it is installed, it allows the IP address, subnet, gateway and
communication parameters of each device in the station to be defined. Additionally it allows GOOSE messages to be setup
between devices in the station and allows reports to be configured. See 4.2 System Configurator (page 110).
2. An SCD file can be created using another vendor's IEC 61850 tools, which is preconfigured with IP address, subnet, gateway
addresses etc. for each device. This can also have GOOSE messages defined in it. Importing this is read only, in that the
configuration cannot be changed by Reydisp Manager, unless the System Configurator is installed. If a change is made by
another vendor's tool, the SCD import should be run again to update the items in the project. See 3.12 Import CID/SCD
(page 83) and 4.4.3 Importing a Station SCD File (page 115).

4.1 Assigning and Unsassigning Station Devices

To view and change the devices assigned to a station, right click on the station and click Properties.

This brings up the Properties window. Click on the Station Devices tab to view the station assignments.

4.1.1 Adding Devices to a Station

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 108

 Stations

All unassigned devices in the project are shown in the Unassigned Devices list. Select any devices to add to the station and
click Add to Station. The devices are added to the Assigned Devices list and will be added to the station when the OK
button is clicked.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 109

Stations

The following restrictions apply when adding devices to a station:

Each device can only be assigned to a single station

Each device assigned to the station must have a unique IED name.
Device assignment cannot be changed if the System Configurator is open for the station.

4.1.2 Removing Devices from a Station

To remove a device from the station, select the required device and click the Remove Device button. The device will be
removed when the OK button is clicked.

The following restrictions apply when removing devices from a station:

Device assignment cannot be changed if the System Configurator is open for the station.

4.2 System Configurator

The System Configurator is an optional component of Reydisp Manager.

It is used to configure IEC 61850 stations and devices, configuring the devices on the network and adding GOOSE messages
between devices.

If the System Configurator is installed, it can be launched by selecting the station and clicking System Configurator in the
task pane or by double clicking the station.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 110

 Stations

The System Configurator displays different information depending on which view is selected. Devices View displays a list of
devices in the station. Network View displays a list of IED devices and their IP address and allows the default GOOSE MAC
address ranges to be defined. GOOSE View displays GOOSE messages and allows additional messages to be created.

Note: Not all of the features will be available in earlier versions of System Configurator.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 111

Stations

In Devices, the devices that are associated with the station are shown. From here the CID file for each device can be exported,
see 4.4 Exporting a Device CID File (page 113). Devices can also be removed from the station here, although it is recommended
to remove the device from the station in Reydisp Manager rather than do it directly from within System Configurator.

In the Network View, the connection details, such as IP address, subnet mask, gateway and Baud rate can be set for each
device.

In GOOSE View, GOOSE connections can be created between devices.

The Reports and Logs View allows reports to be created for datasets. This allows easy monitoring and reporting the status
of various IEC 61850 signals.

The System Configurator has its own user guide which documents how to use the System Configurator, accessed by going to
Help Help Topics in the System Configurator.

On closing the System Configurator, the configuration is updated for any devices assigned to that station.
Exporting a Station SCD
A station file (.SCD file) can be exported for use in another vendor's IEC 61850 configuration tool. Select the station to export and
click Export SCD from the task pane.

A window will pop up to select the location the file should be saved to and what it should be called.

4.3 Importing & Exporting IEC 61850 Configuration

Reydisp Manager supports exporting ICD files and SCD files to allow Reyrolle devices to be used in other vendors IEC 61850
configuration tools.

Extension Description
ICD IEC 61850 file used for describing a device. Stands for IED (Intelligent Electronic Device) Capability Description Each
IEC 61850 capable device has a corresponding ICD file describing it.
CID This is a subset of an SCD file, which only has data concerning a single device rather than multiple devices like an
SCD file.
© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 112
 Stations

SCD A file that describes how multiple devices are configured and communicate together. This describes the IP
configuration, GOOSE messages etc. When multiple devices are assigned to a station, an SCD file is created for that
station that describes all of the devices in the station. SCD stands for Substation Configuration Description.

These tools configure the device by setting communication parameters (IP address, gateway address etc.) but cannot configure
Reyrolle devices themselves. If a Reyrolle device is exported as an ICD and imported into another tool to form part of a station,
that station file (SCD) file must be exported from the tool and imported into Reydisp Manager to fully configure the Reyrolle
device for IEC 61850 communications.

To configure a single Reyrolle device by importing an externally created SCD or CID, see 3.12 Import CID/SCD (page 83).
To configure one or more Reyrolle devices at a time by importing an externally created SCD, see 4.4.3 Importing a Station SCD
File (page 115).

Also see:
4.4.2 Importing a Device ICD (page 115)
2.3.3 Importing a Third Party ICD (page 36)

Note: If Reydisp Manager 1.30 or later and DIGSI 4.89 or later are being used together to create an IEC 61850 configuration that
contains a mixture or Reyrolle and Siprotec devices, then it is possible to link both Reydisp Manager and DIGSI 4.89 projects so
that they share the System Configurator project. This approach eliminates the need to import/export ICD and SCD files.

4.4 Exporting a Device CID File

A CID file is similar to an ICD file but it contains additional information about the device such as IP address, subnet address and
gateway address. The CID file can be exported by System Configurator from the Devices View. There are several ways to do
bring up the Export SCD window:

Right click on the device and select Export IEC 61850 device configuration
Click Station Export Export IEC 61850 device configuration
Click CTRL + G

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 113

Stations

This will bring up the Export IEC 61850 device configuration window. Select where to save the CID file and click
Save.

The device CID file will be exported.

4.4.1 Exporting a Device ICD

4.4.1.1 Export an Existing Device
A device ICD file can be exported for use in another vendor's IEC 61850 configuration tool. Select the device to export in the
project and click Export ICD from the task pane. The exported ICD file will contain the IED name.

A window will pop up to select the location the file should be saved to and what it should be called.

4.4.1.2 Export from a Template

Alternatively, an ICD file can be exported from a template without requiring a project be open or created. To do this, open
Reydisp Manager and select File Export Template IEC 61850 ICD. This will bring up the device selection dialog.

 Stations

Select the required device and click Select. A save dialog will be displayed allowing the name and location of the ICD file to be
changed from the default. Click Save to export the ICD file. The ICD file will be saved with the default IED name of TEMPLATE.

4.4.2 Importing a Device ICD

To import a third party ICD device to the project, see 2.3.3 Importing a Third Party ICD (page 36).

An ICD file cannot be imported for a Reyrolle device. The ICD file exported for a Reyrolle device is intended to be used by a third
party tool to create an SCD or CID file.

4.4.3 Importing a Station SCD File

Importing a station (SCD) file is used to import the SCD file and the devices contained in it. The existing devices in the project will
be updated, and if they don't exist, they will be created.

The SCD import is used in the following scenario:

Another vendor's tool is used to configure a station containing multiple devices. The tool imports one or more Reyrolle device ICD
files and configures the station to use the Reyrolle devices. In this scenario, we need the station configuration to also be applied
to the Reyrolle devices in Reydisp Manager so both the vendor's tool and Reydisp Manager are using the same device
configurations to enable the devices to be configured correctly to communicate over the network.

4.4.3.1 How devices are updated or created

Devices are matched up by IED name. If a device does not exist with the IED name used in the SCD file, a new device will be
created and automatically added to the station.
If a device exists in Reydisp Manager with the same IED name:
If the device is assigned to the station that the import is being performed on, or is not assigned to any station, it will be
updated.
If the device is assigned to another station, a new device will be created instead.
If a device with that IED name does not exist, it will be created.
The ICD file for each device inside Reydisp Manager will be updated by examining the SCD file and extracting the relevant
information.

Note: Any devices assigned to the station that the import is being performed on in Reydisp Manager that are not in the SCD file
that is being imported will be unassigned from the station in Reydisp Manager.

4.5 Configure a Standalone Device for IEC 61850

A standalone IEC 61850 capable device can be configured for IEC 61850 communications without being connected to a station.
This allows an external application access to the logical node structure and reporting functions provided by the device. For a full
configuration involving GOOSE messages, a station must be used.

To configure a device for standalone access, select a device in the project and ensure it is not already assigned to a station. Select
Configure Interface from the task pane.

4.6 Interacting With DIGSI

Reydisp Manager is able to import and export ICD and SCD files to and from third party IEC 61850 configuration tools.

Note: If DIGSI 4.89 or later and System Configurator 5.00 or later are both installed, IEC 61850 communications between DIGSI
and Reydisp Manager devices should be done by pointing both projects at the same System Configurator project file. See 4.6.4
Changing System Configurator Project Location (page 132).

DIGSI 4.89 or later does not support importing third-party devices directly; they must be imported into the System Configurator
project instead or the same System Configurator project must be shared by both Reydisp Manager and DIGSI.

This walkthrough will use DIGSI to perform the 61850 configuration, using a mix of Siprotec and Reyrolle devices. The
configuration from DIGSI will be exported from DIGSI and imported into Reydisp Manager, showing the steps involved.

4.6.1 Creating Devices in Reydisp Manager

Create a new project in Reydisp Manager. See 2.2.1 Creating a New Project (page 22).
Add the desired Reyrolle devices to the project. The selected devices must be IEC 61850 compatible to allow IEC 61850
configuration. See 2.3.2 Adding a Reyrolle Device (page 32).
In this example, two devices have been added - a Reyrolle 7SR210 device and a Reyrolle 7SR220 device. The IED names
have been set for simplicity, to R_7SR210 and R_7SR220.

Stations

Ensure the devices are configured for IEC 61850 communications.

For this example, three devices have been added: 7SJ624, V4.7, 7SJ624 V4.8 and 7SJ640 V4.8. Their IED names have been set,
for simplicity, to v4_7_624, v4_8_624 and v4_8_640 to allow us to be able to easily tell them apart.
Perform any required configuration regarding settings etc. as per usual in DIGSI. Configuration changes will be required to add
points for GOOSE messages to be sent/received. Please refer to the DIGSI manual for details on how to do this.
For this example, each Siprotec device has had 4 GGIO inputs and 4 GGIO outputs added (named Input1GGIO1 - Input4GGIO1
and O_P_1GGIO1 to O_P_4GGIO1).
Right click and select Insert New Object and select IEC61850 station.

4.6.2.1 Import the Reyrolle Devices

Now that the Siprotec devices have been added and a station created, the Reyrolle devices that were exported from Reydisp
Manager can be imported into DIGSI.
Right click and select Insert New Object and select Other IEC61850 communicator.
Select the ICD file exported from Reydisp Manager earlier.
Repeat this step for each ICD that needs importing.

The two Reyrolle devices, R_7SR210 and R_7SR220 have been imported into DIGSI.

Close the System Configurator. The station is now configured.

4.6.2.4 Exporting Station from DIGSI

Now the station has been configured, it must be exported from DIGSI.
Right click on the station and select Export IEC61850 station.
Select where to save the exported SCD file and click Ok. The SCD file has now been exported.

4.6.3 Importing Station into Reydisp Manager

The station has now been exported from DIGSI and can be imported into Reydisp Manager.
Add a station in Reydisp Manager by clicking Insert and selecting Station.
Select the station and select Import SCD from the task pane.

 Stations

Select the SCD file and click OK.

Reydisp Manager recognizes there are three Siprotec devices and automatically creates them inside Reydisp Manager.
Reydisp Manager recognizes the two Reyrolle devices already exist in the project.
All five devices are automatically assigned to the station.
The Reyrolle devices will be updated with the configuration from the SCD.
Right click on the Reyrolle device and select Properties.
Click on the IEC 61850 tab and the IP address configuration should be displayed, as it was when configured in the System
Configurator in DIGSI.
The Reyrolle devices in the project are now ready to be synchronized with the physical devices. Click Project Sync to
update the physical devices with the new configuration.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 131

Stations

Notes about Importing:

If the devices in the imported SCD file do not exist, they will be automatically created. Third party devices are matched only by
IED name. Reyrolle devices are matched by IED name and the model/variant to ensure only identical devices are matched. The
following rules determine how devices are created:
If a device does not exist, it will be created.
If a matching device already exists but it is assigned to another station. a new device will be created instead.
If a matching device already exists and is not assigned to a station, it will be assigned to the station the import is being
performed on.
If a matching device already exists and is assigned to the station the import is being performed on, it will remain assigned to
the station.
Any devices assigned to the station the import is being performed on but not included in the imported SCD file will be
unassigned from the station.

Please Note:
Any changes made by the System Configurator in DIGSI will update the SCD file. This file should be exported from DIGSI and
imported into Reydisp Manager each time a change is made to ensure both DIGSI and Reydisp Manager are using the same
version of the SCD file.
If the System Configurator is opened from Reydisp Manager, any changes made affects the SCD file inside Reydisp Manager.
These changes will NOT be applied to the station inside DIGSI, only the station inside Reydisp Manager.
If a device is changed in Reydisp Manager (such as the IED name) it's ICD will need to be exported from Reydisp Manager and
the importing of the device into DIGSI repeated. The System Configurator must be run from DIGSI to update its SCD, and then
the SCD exported from DIGSI and reimported into Reydisp Manager.

4.6.4 Changing System Configurator Project Location

The approach above requires importing and exporting ICD files and SCD files, which makes it easy to forget to import/export after
making a change in one project. If Reydisp Manager and DIGSI are to be used together exclusively for a project, then the
following approach can be used, which simplifies the process. The Reydisp Manager project and DIGSI project both point to the
same System Configurator project, so there is no importing or exporting of files required.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 132

 Stations

Note: This approach is only suitable if using Reydisp Manager 1.30 or later and DIGSI 4.89 or later with Siemens IEC 61850
System Configurator version 5.00 or later. Previous versions do not support this work flow model and require the
importing/exporting of ICD and SCD files. See 4.3 Importing & Exporting IEC 61850 Configuration (page 112).

See Appendix A – Using a Common Station with Reydisp Manager and DIGSI (page 162) for a walkthrough on how to use this
approach.

5 IEC 61850 Edition

Reydisp Manager supports both IEC 61850 edition 1 (2003) and edition 2 (2007B) for stations and IEDs.

Note: Support for IEC 61850 edition 2 stations requires System Configurator V5.01 or later.

Note: Support for IEC 61850 edition 2 Reyrolle devices requires a Reydisp Manager template with edition 2 enabled. If the
installed template does not support IEC 61850 edition 2, it may be possible to update the template to a newer version. See 1.2
Install Reydisp Manager Templates (page 12) for more information about Reydisp Manager templates.

5.1 IEC 61850 Edition of Reyrolle Devices

By default, most Reydisp Manager templates instantiate new Reyrolle IEDs in edition 1. If you wish for a Reyrolle IED to use
edition 2 and the Reydisp Manager templates supports it, the edition can be changed. The setting for the IEC 61850 edition of
an IED can be found in the properties of the IED, on the IEC 61850 tab. See 2.6 Properties Window (page 49) for more
information about the property window.

Note: If an IED is updated to IEC 61850 edition 2 and the IED is assigned to a station in Reydisp Manager, the station will be
automatically converted to IEC 61850 edition 2 when the station is updated or opened in the System Configurator.

5.2 IEC 61850 Edition of Station

When a station is created in Reydisp Manager, the IEC 61850 edition in use by default will be edition 1. If you wish to use edition
2 for the station, the edition can be changed. The setting for the IEC 61850 edition of a station can be found in the properties of
the station, on the IEC 61850 tab. See 4 Stations (page 108) for more information about stations and station properties.

Note: Support for IEC 61850 edition 2 stations requires System Configurator V5.01 or later.

Note: Once an SCD has been generated for an IEC 61850 edition 2 station, it can no longer be converted back to edition 1.

 EN100 Module

6 EN100 Module

The EN100 module is used on Reyrolle devices to provide Ethernet/IEC 61850 functionality.

There are two models of EN100 module – EN100 (standard) and EN100+ (plus). Both have electrical or optical interface
arrangement.

All current devices use EN100+ and firmware 4.21 or later and offer the following functionality:
Interface Type EN100 Line Mode Switch Mode
Firmware RSTP OSM PRP HSR
Electrical RJ45 EN100+ 4.21and later
Optical EN100+ 4.21and later

Depending on the module type and firmware version installed, earlier device versions provide the following protocol options:
Interface Type EN100 Line Mode Switch Mode
Firmware RSTP OSM PRP HSR
Electrical RJ45 EN100 4.08 or earlier
Electrical RJ45 EN100 4.21 and later
Electrical RJ45 EN100+ 4.08 or earlier
Electrical RJ45 EN100+ 4.21and later
Optical EN100 4.08 or earlier
Optical EN1001 4.21 and later
Optical EN100+ 4.08 or earlier
Optical EN100+ 4.21and later

1The optical EN100 module requires firmware 4.2 and FPGA version 515 or later to support PRP/HSR. Firmware and FPGA can be
upgraded via Ethernet

EN100 and EN100+ are not interchangeable in Reyrolle devices and modules cannot be upgraded without return to the factory
for other hardware upgrades.

Siemens Scalance PRP/HSR RedBoxes have been used to test the PRP and HSR protocols.

6.1 Connecting EN100 Module

There are two Ethernet ports on the EN100 module. These can be either RJ45 connectors for the electrical ports or optical
connections for optical modules.

Channel 1 is the closest to the front of the device; Channel 2 is at the back.

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 135

EN100 Module

In line mode (the default mode) only one connection needs to be made. For redundancy protocols both ports should be
connected to allow the redundancy protocol to work.

To communicate with the device, the device needs to have an IP address set and needs to be synchronized after changing the IP
address. To do this, see 3.4 Configure Interface (page 65) for a standalone device or Stations if the device is assigned to a
station.

6.2 Homepage
The EN100 homepage provides diagnostic information, status information, error logging etc. It is accessible from a web browser
by adding /home to the web address – http://<ip address>/home

Note: For a device with an IP address of 192.168.0.1 the homepage would be http://192.168.0.1/home.

 EN100 Module

6.3 Line Mode

Line mode allows one Ethernet port to be connected to the LAN. Either port can be used. This offers no redundancy but provides
the simplest network topology.

6.4 PRP Mode

PRP stands for Parallel Redundancy Protocol. PRP provides seamless switchover in the event of a failure. The fact that PRP has zero
recovery time gives it an advantage over other protocols such as RSTP.

Each PRP capable device on the PRP network has two Ethernet interfaces which connect to two completely separate networks –
PRP-A and PRP-B.

Advantages:

Seamless redundancy
Two completely redundant networks

Disadvantages:

Each device must be connected to a PRP switch (resulting in more network equipment being required)
Devices without PRP support (SANs – Singularly Attached Nodes) can only connect to one side of the network without a
RedBox
To make a SANs visible from either network requires a RedBox
Both networks carry the same amount of traffic even though one network is only used if the other fails
Maximum of 512 PRP devices

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 137

EN100 Module

6.5 HSR Mode

HSR stands for High-availability Seamless Redundancy. As indicated by its name, HSR provides seamless switchover in the event
of a failure. The fact that HSR has zero recovery time gives it an advantage over other protocols such as RSTP.

HSR is generally used in a ring topology, with each device having two Ethernet ports.

Advantages:

Seamless redundancy
Simpler topology than PRP – requires no switches, therefore reduced cost

Disadvantages:

Up to 50 devices per ring

Maximum of 512 HSR devices

© 2010 – 2017 Siemens Protection Devices Limited 138

 EN100 Module

6.6 Check Connection

When configured for PRP or HSR mode, an additional option is available from the module homepage – HSR/PRP. This can be
used to check that the Ethernet ports are connected and that they are connected the right way round. The
LinkStatusChan1/2 indicates the link status. This can be either UP or DOWN for either port, indicating if the port is connected
or disconnected (obviously if both ports are disconnected then the homepage cannot be accessed).

There are two fields, CorrectLanChan1/2 and WrongLanChan1/2 that display the correct and incorrect packets going
through each channel. When both ports are connected correctly, both channel 1 and 2 in CorrectLanChan1/2 will increment.
If the ports are connected the wrong way around, WrongLanChan1/2 will increment for both channels. If one channel is
connected to the wrong network but the other one is connected to the correct network, one channel will increment the
CorrectLanChan counter and one will increment the WrongLanChan counter.

As each task is performed, it should turn green unless there are any problems.
When everything completes, the relay will automatically restart, if required.
It may take around 30 seconds before the Synchronize Devices window can be closed following a restart, if a restart was
performed.
Once all tasks have turned green, everything should be up to date on Device A.
Unplug the USB cable from Device A and connect it to Device B.
Untick Device A and tick Device B and repeat the same steps, setting up the Communication Settings and then click
Send Changes.

Now both devices are synchronized, pressing F1 on Device A should light LED 1 on Device A and Device B.
Pressing F2 on Device A should clear LED 1 on Device A and Device B.

8 Glossary
The following terms and abbreviations are used throughout this manual:

Abbreviation Description
CID Configured IED Description.
This is an ICD file that has been configured with for use, with additional configuration specified, such as an IP
address.
DAN Dually Attached Node. A device that is connected to two LANs in a redundant network, such as a PRP device.
Data Set A list of data objects that have been grouped together. Typically used to group commonly used data objects into
a single data set for easy retrieval.
Gateway The IP address of the network device that allows communications with another network.
GOOSE Generic Object Oriented Substation Events.
GOOSE is an IEC 61850 control mechanism for broadcasting data over Ethernet, such as status or values, which
are transmitted as data sets. A GOOSE message will be broadcast when a change of state occurs within the data
set. GOOSE messaging is designed for high speed trip signals to be transmitted with a high degree of reliability.
HSR High availability Seamless Redundancy. A type of redundancy that minimises the amount of network
connections required whilst still performing seamless redundancy switchover in the event of a failure.
ICD IED Capability Description.
This is the main file used to define each device (IED). The ICD file is written in SCL and details the logical devices
that the device exposes for IEC 61850 communications.
IEC 61850 An IEC standard for designing electrical substation automation.
IED Intelligent Electronic Device.
This represents a single device, such as a protection relay.
IED Name The name of the device that will be used to represent the device in IEC 61850 communications. By default,
unconfigured devices have the name TEMPLATE.
IP Address Internet Protocol address.
Each device on a network should be given a unique IP address to allow it to be uniquely identified.
PRP Parallel Redundancy Protocol. A type of redundancy where all switches are run in parallel – one active and one
acting as the backup.
RedBox A Redundancy Box. Used to allow Single Attached Nodes (SAN) to communicate with Dual Attached Nodes
(DAN) on a PRP/HSR network.
Report A set of data that is transmitted to a client at regular or specified time intervals, or on demand. Trigger
conditions may also generate a report - these may be pre-set or pre-defined by the client.
SAN Singularly Attached Node. A device that is connected to a single LAN, such as a PC with standard Ethernet port.
SCD Substation Configuration Description
SCL Substation Configuration Language.
This is the markup used in the SCL files such as CID, ICD and SCD files.
SNTP Simple Network Time Protocol.
A network protocol for synchronizing clocks of connected devices over a network.
Station A station is required in Reydisp Manager to allow multiple devices to communicate with each other via GOOSE
messages. Each station represents a single SCD file. Each station may have 0 or more devices assigned to it, but
each device must have a unique IED name and each device can only be assigned to a single station.
Subnet Mask An address that splits the network into logical subdivisions. The subnet mask can be used to determine which
traffic is transmitted to an external network via a gateway, and which traffic is only transmitted internally within
the local network. Gateways can connect subnetworks. The devices on a subnetwork can communicate directly
with each other without a router.
Third Party A device produced by another vendor. Only IEC 61850 third party devices are supported by Reydisp Manager,
Device and as such an ICD file is used to represent each third party device.

Appendix A Using a Common Station with Reydisp Manager

and DIGSI
The System Configurator is responsible for creating the station (.SCD) file. The first time the System Configurator is opened, it
creates an SCD file. Each time it is opened thereafter, it updates the SCD file.

There are two approaches:

Create the SCD file in Reydisp Manager using the System Configurator
Create the SCD file in DIGSI using the System Configurator.

Creating the SCD in Reydisp Manager is the recommended approach. If the SCD has already been created in DIGSI however, it
may prove easier to link to it from Reydisp Manager.

1. Creating the SCD in Reydisp Manager

This method creates the SCD file in Reydisp Manager. The station in the DIGSI project will be linked to the Reydisp Manager
station.

The following steps are required. This replaces the importing and exporting of ICD and SCD files that was required previously:

1. Create and configure the required devices in Reydisp Manager.

2. Create a station in Reydisp Manager and then assign the devices to the station.

3. Open System Configurator from Reydisp Manager and configure GOOSE messages (if required) and IP, subnet and
gateway addresses.

4. Close System Configurator.

5. In the Reydisp Manager project, click Open Station Folder to find the path of the station. This will be needed to locate
the station in DIGSI.

6. Create and configure the required devices in DIGSI.

7. Create a station in DIGSI and then assign the devices to the station.

8. Double click on the station. Navigate to the Reydisp Manager station folder (the one that was just opened in Explorer).

Select the SCD file and click OK.

9. Open System Configurator from DIGSI (this will add the DIGSI devices) and configure GOOSE messages (if required) and
IP, subnet and gateway addresses.

10. Close System Configurator.

11. After adding/removing/changing the IED name of any devices in Reydisp Manager, perform a station update in Reydisp
Manager or open System Configurator then close it.
12. After adding/removing/changing the IED name of any devices in DIGSI, open System Configurator in DIGSI then close it.
13. Synchronize devices in Reydisp Manager.
14. Synchronize devices in DIGSI.

Steps 11-14 need repeating anytime a change is made to the devices in the station. This includes changing IED names, adding or
removing devices or changing the device configuration – IP address, subnet, gateway, GOOSE messages etc.

2. Creating the SCD from DIGSI

This method creates the SCD file in DIGSI. The Reydisp Manager station will be linked to the station in DIGSI.

The following steps are required. This replaces the importing and exporting of ICD and SCD files that was required previously:

1. Create and configure the required devices in DIGSI.

2. Create a station in DIGSI and then assign the devices to the station.

3. Double click on the station. Select a suitable place to store the SCD file. Take note of this location as it will be needed to
locate the System Configurator project from Reydisp Manager.

4. Open System Configurator from DIGSI (this will add the DIGSI devices) and configure the device IP address, subnet,
gateway address etc.
5. Close System Configurator.
6. Create and configure the required devices in Reydisp Manager.
7. Create a station and then assign the devices to the station.
8. Select Station Project Location in Reydisp Manager and select the KPF file. This will be in the same folder as the
SCD file that was created in DIGSI.
