Safety Information
This is training presentation, reference information is in Official Technical Guides.

▪ It is advisable to read all the Safety

Information, all the time before trying to
Install, Operate, Service or Maintain it.
▪ Electrical equipment should be installed,
operated, serviced and maintained only
by qualified personnel.
▪ Work with facility IT System
Administrators to ensure that the system
adheres to the site-specific cybersecurity
policies.

Failure to follow these instructions can result

in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.

SCS hierarchy for System devices
• New SCE objects in SCS hierarchy

– Subnetworks folder :
• mandatory to defined at least one
network

– IEDs folder :
• mandatory to connect every IED to a
subnetwork

 • Configure Global parameters for SCS
▪ Select SCS object

▪ Set time zone, labels, alarms features and computer routing (for C264 and C5)

Internal
 • Configure EPAS Devices

▪ Under SCS / IEDs from Object Entry window ,

add :
“C264”, “C5”
“IEC61850 gateway “
“OI Server” , “OI Client”
“Generic IED“

Internal
 • Configure EcoSui Server
▪ Under SCS / IEDs
Add “OI Server” from Object Entry window

“OI Server” is IEC 61850 Client

Define short name, IED name, network name … Details in EcoSUi training

Internal
 • Configure EcoSui HMI
▪ Under SCS / IEDs
Add “OI Client” from Object Entry window
To define the EcoSUI - HMI object

Set short name, IPv4 address and network name of computer host
Details in EcoSUi training

Internal
 • Configure IEC61850 Generic IED
▪ Under SCS / IEDs
Add “Generic IED” from Object Entry window

“Generic IED” is IEC 61850 Server

Details in L3 IEC61850 for EPAS training

Internal
 • Configure IEC61850 generic IED client
▪ Under SCS / IEDs
Add “OI Server” from Object Entry window

“OI Server” is IEC 61850 Client

Set IP address of “OI Server”

with IP address of 3rd party IED

Access Point
• AP ( access point) for C264, IEC6185 gateway, generic IED, OIS

• Only one AP for C264

• IEC61850 IEDs can have 2 AP :

they will be connected to one
AP in SCE

Confidential Property of Schneider Electric | Page 15

Internal
Access Point for EPAS-Gateway IP Address for redundancy :
• AP (access point) for IEC61850 gateway

IP Address for GTW and Gooses :

Mandatory to complete relation “has for main AP”

Internal
Datamodel & Datflow Update
• Data model and dataflow update (automatic IEC mapping) has to be run from SCS / IEDs object only

Internal
SNTP server
• SNTP server configured on each AP connection

Confidential Property of Schneider Electric | Page 18

Internal
External SNTP server
• SNTP server external equipment

• Add “Generic IED” :

• Change Short name and
network name,
• Set IP Adress on AP
• Select ‘Main SNTP server’
on subnetwork connection

Internal
 • System Information Labels in Profiles
▪ All Devices Operating Mode (C264, GTW) => MPS

Note 1 : TEST Mode N/A for Subs HMI (OI / EcoSUI) and GTW
Note 2 : Useful for graphical animation

▪ MiCOM C264 Boards status => MPS Note 1 : Applicable for all kind of boards

Note 2 : Special status

Missing = in configuration
not in rack
Too Many = in rack not in
configuration
OK Empty = used at SMT only

Internal
 • System Information Labels in Profiles
▪ ISaGRAF Status => MPS (under C264/PLC)
Note :
•Not Activated = No
ISaGRAF configured
•Cycle too long = cycle > 2s
•Queue Overflow =
ISaGRAF overflow

▪ EPAS UI Printer Status (parallel or LAN) (SOE/SLB) => MPS

Note 2 : N/A for C264 printer
LAN :

Parallel :
