3 INTRODUCTION TO DS AGILE MANUALS

This manual provides a functional and technical description of the DS Agile System Configuration Editor and
instructions for the DS Agile SCE’s use and application.

Important note:
The MiCOM Alstom range of C264 substation and bay computers is being widened to encompass new
applications. On this occasion, the name of the range becomes DS Agile. Because new models will soon
be available, the name C264 is replaced by C26x in the manuals.
Please note that this is a phased evolution, and where the text in the manual refers to software labels, there
may still some references to the previous names until the software update is completed.
In addition, the C26x units will now be referred to as "controllers" rather than "computers" in order to avoid
any confusion with the PC-type computers used in other DS Agile sub-systems.

3 WARNINGS REGARDING THE USE OF GE GRID SOLUTIONS

PRODUCTS
GE Grid Solutions products are not designed with components and testing for a level of reliability suitable for
use in or in connection with surgical implants or as critical components in any life support systems whose
failure to perform can reasonably be expected to cause significant injuries to a human.
In any application, including the above reliability of operation of the software products can be impaired by
adverse factors, including -but not limited- to fluctuations in electrical power supply, computer hardware
malfunctions, computer operating system, software fitness, fitness of compilers and development software
used to develop an application, installation errors, software and hardware compatibility problems,
malfunctions or failures of electronic monitoring or control devices, transient failures of electronic systems
(hardware and/or software), unanticipated uses or misuses, or errors from the user or applications designer
(adverse factors such as these are collectively termed "System failures").
Any application where a system failure would create a risk of harm to property or persons (including the risk
of bodily injuries and death) should not be reliant solely upon one form of electronic system due to the risk of
system failure to avoid damage, injury or death, the user or application designer must take reasonably steps
to protect against system failure, including -but not limited- to back-up or shut-down mechanisms, not
because end-user system is customised and differs from GE Grid Solutions testing platforms but also a user
or application designer may use GE Grid Solutions products in combination with other products.
These actions cannot be evaluated or contemplated by GE Grid Solutions; thus, the user or application
designer is ultimately responsible for verifying and validating the suitability of GE Grid Solutions products
whenever they are incorporated in a system or application, even without limitation of the appropriate design,
process and safety levels of such system or application.

1 DS AGILE SCE ARCHITECTURE

1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The System Configuration Editor (DS Agile SCE) is the central tool in charge to manage the DS Agile system
database for the DS Agile equipment. The system configuration database contains the configuration data for
the DS Agile system equipment:

• DS Agile OI/DS Agile aView, the system HMI

• DS Agile SMT, the System Management Tool used to download databases
• DS Agile Gateway for remote control
• DS Agile C26x controller
The DS Agile SCE allows some authorised personnel to interact with the DS Agile system configuration:

• modelling of coherent system configuration data: devices, electrical topologies, graphical mimics,
automations

• generation of configuration data-file for IEC 61850-8-1 devices of the DS Agile project
To generate any equipment database, the DS Agile SCE manages:

• Inner data of the device itself (structure and parameters values)

• Exchange data of the device with other system devices
• Exchange data of the device with non-system devices
With the 3rd case, the DS Agile SCE manages the communication with all non-DS Agile devices with typically
IED or protection devices on Legacy BUS or system network. It is only by the configuration of communication
mapping that DS Agile SCE can handle non-DS Agile devices.

1.2 FUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATION

The DS Agile System Configuration Editor is a tool that:

• helps in definition/edition of equipment data with specific editors (attribute, mimic, ISaGRAF) or with
queries on configuration

• generates equipment databases

The definition of data is done firstly by the definition by developer experts of templates or models of data.
These templates are then stored and delivered in DS Agile SCE libraries. In a second time, the models can
be loaded and instanced as a clever kind of duplication to create object data customised to the application
case.
When all data of the concrete case are defined, the DS Agile SCE generates a coherent set of databases
that can be loaded into each system device.

1.2.1 DS AGILE SCE TEMPLATE & OBJECT

A database is basically a collection of persistent data. In the DS Agile SCE framework, a database is a
collection of objects. Any object has its specific attributes, organised in categories and subcategories. The
objects are organised in the database by following pre-defined association rules.
The structural database defines object types and association types. Association types are hierarchical
link types and relation link types between object types. Hierarchical links are defined for father/child
associations. Relation links are defined for other associations, and may hold attributes. Cardinalities are
defined for all associations.

SCE/EN FT/D20 FT-3

Functional Description DS Agile System Configuration Editor

A library database contains templates. A template is a collection of objects/associations instantiated from

the structural database or from others templates.
A configuration database contains objects/associations instantiated from types of the structural database
or from templates. It also contains its own templates, created specifically for the configuration, or imported
from a library database. A configuration database defines all data needed by system devices to feel up
customer application.
All the database elements support internationalisation (multiple languages).

FT-4 SCE/EN FT/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Functional Description

1.2.2 DATABASE CREATION PROCESS

To create the database downloaded to system devices, the common way is to:

• Import a template from an external library into current database (in its template area)
• Customise the template if needed in DB template area
• Instantiated the template from template to Object part of the database
• Fill up the predefined attribute known as degree of freedom (for example the name)
• Generate devices databases
The link between template and instantiated object can be kept. Nevertheless this relation can be broken for
deep object modifications.
During all this creation process, the DS Agile SCE does a check of data coherency with its Data Model. The
checks are made with templates and objects. The checks are made during configuration edition and/or by a
check action. They are done on:

• Attribute input
• Relation creation
• Generation

Figure 1: Configuration Process

SCE/EN FT/D20 FT-5

Functional Description DS Agile System Configuration Editor

1.2.3 VERSION & RELEASE

Over time, the system’s device features have evolved and their inner data base structure is subject to
modification. DS Agile SCE needs to fill the new requirement and has also evolutions and corrections
referenced by version.
A unique reference determines the coherent set of system equipment database and soft/hard equipment that
DS Agile SCE can use.
DS Agile SCE can compare two referenced versions of a configuration.

1.3 EXTERNAL INTERFACES

Figure 2: External interfaces

There are no software interfaces between DS Agile SCE and other external tools or DS Agile devices.
External interfaces are implemented through files:

• Xml files: the user can export or import a whole configuration or only a subset. A DS Agile SCE
exchange Xml format is defined for describing files which are:
 exported from SCE to an external tool
 imported from an external tool to DS Agile SCE

FT-6 SCE/EN FT/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Functional Description

• System databag: from a referenced version of a configuration, DS Agile SCE generates an application
databag for each DS Agile devices. The application databags are bagged in a System databag. The
system databags are used by DS Agile SMT to download application databag in each DS Agile
devices.

• Reports: the user selects a whole configuration or only a subset and asks a report. A predefined report
in pdf format is delivered with DS Agile SCE.

Notes:
All IEC 61850-8-1 clients must be defined in the SCD file during an export, in order to know the defined client / server
relation(s).
From a SCL point of view, an IEC 61850-8-1 client is an IED with an “Access Point” structure without “Server” element.
The MiCOM Alstom Px4x Phase 2 provide ICD files in which Virtual Inputs are defined (a Virtual Input is an abstract
element which allows to define an attachment to a GOOSE in MiCOM Alstom IED).
The SCE, during an ICD import, creates these Virtual Inputs in a specific area of the IED IEC 61850-8-1 mapping.
Then, these Virtual Inputs can be associated to datapoints (using relations) defined in the electrical area.
Importing a graphical object whose level is lower or equal to mimic is not supported.

After the installation, some parameters need to be set as described in chapter SCE/EN AJ.

Note:
A pdf file viewer application is required to display the documentation. For security reasons, avoid using Adobe Reader
and prefer a less common application with fewer exploits, such as Foxit Reader.

3.1 CYBER-SECURITY

Caution:
Before starting to configure the PC and install applications, you should be
thoroughly familiar with the DS Agile Network and System Security Guide
(DS Agile/EN CS).

Before installing the DS Agile software, a number of pre-requisite steps are needed in order to properly
secure the system.
These steps are documented in the DS Agile Network and System Security Guide.
The Network and System Security Guide is available both as a chapter of the DS Agile technical manual and
as a stand-alone document. This guide describes the security-related steps that must be implemented
BEFORE, DURING and AFTER the installation and adjustments of DS Agile software applications.
Before moving on to installing the DS Agile software, make sure these pre-requisite steps are executed.

Caution:
Run an anti-virus scan of the PC hard disk and memory, using an up-to-
date anti-virus program run from a USB drive.

lax.nl.java.option.java.heap.size.max (bytes) in file sce.lax. This parameter must not exceed
1.3 GB.

Note:
The SCE(version).lax file is located in the installation folder of the SCE.

After ram size updating (add or remove ram), run script UpdateLaxFile.vbs in the installation folder:
this script updates Java heap min size to 32 MB and max size to 2/3 of new RAM size, max 1.3 GB.

Note:
Some PC BIOS do not allow to assign more than 1.25 GB to a single application. Check your PC technical manual
before setting the PC memory in the sce.lax.

2.2 PATHS (ON-LINE)

After installation, give DS Agile SCE the external tools paths. Start it:
Start | All Programs | Alstom | DCS | Configuration Editor x.y/SCE
Then in DS Agile SCE window, select in menu bar the “Tools/Options…” item.

Figure 1: Alstom DS Agile SCE Setting after Installation

A window “Setting Manager” opens with all DS Agile SCE settings.

The tool paths installed as options have to be entered. Their values must be updating according to their
installation folders. It is especially the case for:

• ISaGRAF workbench path: the installation folder of ISaGRAF tool.

• Acrobat Reader application path: the binary file path for the pdf file viewer (we recommend not
using Adobe Reader for security reasons, prefer a less common application with fewer exploits, such
as Foxit Reader).

The other settings do not depend of other tools or others installations:

• General part settings: the properties of DS Agile SCE (read only).

• Status bar part settings: the displaying options of status bar.
• Graphic part settings: the graphical editors (mimic editor, bay mimic editor,…) options.
• Access part settings: default working paths.
 Miscellaneous part setting: device generation options or general edition options.

2.3 ALSTOM DS AGILE SCE SETTINGS IMPORT

A settings set can be imported from a previous version of DS Agile SCE. This operation avoids modifying
default settings after each DS Agile SCE installation.
This feature is available through the Import button of DS Agile SCE Setting Manager dialog box.
The following Select dialog box is then displayed. A settings file of a previous DS Agile SCE version must be
chosen.

4 PC LANGUAGE AND CHARACTER SETS

When a database is to be generated for use with a DS Agile OI running on a PC set up for a language that
requires a specific character set, such as Swedish for instance, the PC running SCE should be configured
for the same language when the database is generated in order to ensure compatibility and avoid any
potential text display problems.
To do so, follow these steps (Swedish is used as an example):
1 Go to Start
2 Type “region” and select “Region control panel” option in the search results
3 Select the Location tab-pane, and then change the Current location to Sweden.

4 Click OK.

2 DATABASE UPGRADE
Most of the time, between two consecutive versions of DS Agile SCE, database upgrade is made only by
starting a new DS Agile SCE version, and loading the old database. A message upgrade is displayed. The
saved database is upgraded to the new DS Agile SCE version.
Good practice: Store DB from a special DS Agile SCE version, in a separate directory that includes DS Agile
SCE DB version and name DB with DS Agile SCE version included.
Between major releases of the DS Agile SCE (that is with different major version numbers), the structural
database might change.

2.1 IMPORTANT MIGRATION NOTES

2.1.1 SYSTEM HIERARCHY ORGANISATION

As of DS Agile version 5.0.5, there are only 2 types of objects at the root of the SBUS network in the System
hierarchy:

• the SMT (System Configuration Tool):

The SMT object is unique. It is automatically added when a database is created (as of DS Agile version
5.0.4) or imported from an earlier version (before DS Agile version 5.0.4), and must be configured (see
SMT/EN AP for details).

• the System Group:

The System Group contains all the sub-systems and devices other than the SMT. It can contain the
devices managing, monitoring and/or protecting one or more electrical bays. It does not impact actual
functionality and does not impair a device's ability to manage several electrical bays.
As of DS Agile version 5.0.5, one empty System Group is automatically added when a database is
created. It is not possible to add more. Devices and sub-systems are then added to the System Group
from the contextual Objects entry window.
When importing a database created with an earlier version of DS Agile (in which the system devices were
placed at the root of the SBUS network branch), a System Group is created and all the existing device
and sub-system objects (spared or not), except for the SMT object, are placed in that System Group.

2.1.2 SBUS AUTOMATIC ADDRESSING

As of version 5.0.5 of the DS Agile System, SBUS Automatic Addressing is incremental: The addresses of
non-spared, unmodified datapoints with existing valid addresses are left unchanged and unused addresses
are assigned to as yet unaddressed datapoints and datapoints with invalid addresses if there are any.
Existing invalid addresses in a database migrated from an earlier version of DS Agile SCE could in some
cases be duplicated after the first incremental SBUS automatic addressing operation. If this happens, the
corresponding errors will appear in the Checks window (after pressing F6) with the error code 13020,
indicating which sub-system has duplicated addresses:

AP-4 SCE/EN AP/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Application

To prevent this problem, delete the address maps of all the DS Agile sub-systems immediately after
database migration:

and then run SBUS automatic addressing again.

SCE/EN AP/D20 AP-5

Application DS Agile System Configuration Editor

2.1.3 IEC 60870-COMPLIANT CIRCUIT-BREAKER MANAGEMENT

As of version 5.1.0 of the DS Agile System, the configuration of circuit-breakers and other switchgear is
modified for compliance with the IEC 60870-7-4 standard, as certified by Kema. As a result, database
migrations from previous versions will involve some reconfiguration:

• Some IEC 61870 addresses have been removed, and some datapoints that did not use to have one,
now have an IEC 61870 address. This means that it is necessary to run SBUS automatic addressing
after migration.

• The SPS datapoints used for open/close controls (Switch Ctrl SPC, Switch phA/B/C SPC) and their
feedbacks (Switchgear pos., PhA/B/C pos. SPS) have been removed. They must be replaced with
DPS datapoints.

• The attribute circuit-breaker type has been replaced by a choice between two objects to add under
the circuit-breaker node: Single phase and Triple phase. Where the attribute circuit-breaker type
was previously set to Triple phase CircuitBreaker or Single phase CircuitBreaker, the corresponding
Single phase/Triple phase objects are automatically created under the circuit-breaker node when
importing the database. The value Other is no longer valid and no equivalent is provided in the new
format.

• For circuit-breakers only, the wired DPS switchgear datapoints (formerly Switchgear pos. for 3-pole
CBs and Switch phA/B/C pos. for 1-pole CBs) have been moved. New Switchgear pos. DPS are
automatically inserted under the Single phase\Phase x and Triple phase nodes. They need to be
redefined: Relations, including "wiring", must be recreated and their profiles need to be re-assigned
manually.

• New datapoints have been added under the circuit-breaker/switchgear objects and it will be necessary
to create and assign profiles to these new datapoints.

Note:
The CB Healthy SPS datapoint that could previously be used to prevent the initiation of a Type 1 auto-reclosing cycle
has been removed. No equivalent datapoint is available at this time.
Do not try to use the new CB Healthy MPS datapoint instead. It is reserved for future use and HAS NO EFFECT on the
auto-recloser.

Note:
Because the redefinition of circuit-breakers is fairly extensive, it is recommended to open a copy of the original
database in its associated version of DS Agile SCE in order to match the configuration step by step.

AP-6 SCE/EN AP/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Application

2.2 INDIVIDUAL MIGRATION

To upgrade a database, install an instance of all the intermediate major SCE releases and proceed
iteratively.
Example: migration from system version 4.6 to 4.7:
1 Export DB from the oldest SCE version (e.g. 4.56.x.x)
 Launch the oldest SCE version
 Open the DB to upgrade
 Select the menu File/ Prepare Upgrade & Save (save DB with additional data); take care not to
save again the database with the menu File/Save.
 Close this SCE version
2 Import DB into a newer SCE version (e.g. 4.72.x.x) and export the DB
 Launch the newer SCE version
 Open the upgraded DB
 Select the menu File/Check
 Correct the potential errors
 Select the menu File/ Save for mandatory upgrade; take care not to save again the database with
the menu File/Save
 Select the menu File/Create a copy to put it into the 4.72 directory
 Close this SCE version
3 Import DB into the newest SCE version (e.g. 4.73.x.x) and export the DB
 Launch the newest SCE version
 Open the latest upgraded DB
 Select the menu File/Check
 Correct the potential errors
 Select the menu File/Create a copy to put the file into the 4.73 directory

2.3 BATCH MIGRATION

Two scripts are available in C:\Program Files\Alstom\DCS\sce\4.xx\batch:

• prepareUpgradeDB.bat: to open and save for mandatory upgrade the database

• UpgradeDB.bat: to open, upgrade and save the database

2.4 PROFILE MIGRATION

Select the menu Data/Upgrade to indiced profile to compute the new profile reference of each datapoint
(object and template) to the profile table (refer to C26x manual’s Application chapter, C26x/EN AP).

3 DS AGILE IEC 61850 PROJECTION

The IEC 61850 mapping of an IED is an aggregation of Logical Devices (LD), composed of Logical Nodes
(LN), Functional Components (FC) and Data Objects (DO). This mapping is used to model the subset of
substation’s electrical devices managed by the server.

S0471ENb

SBUS Automatic addressing consists in creating or updating an IEC 61850 map, in particular linking
DataObjects to Datapoints. This process follows rules that are defined per hierarchical level: Logical Devices,
then Logical Nodes then DataObjects.
As of version 5.0.5 of the DS Agile System, SBUS Automatic Addressing is incremental: The addresses of
non-spared, unmodified datapoints with existing valid addresses (for instance, in case of version upgrade or
system extension) are left unchanged and unused addresses are assigned to as yet unaddressed datapoints
and datapoints with invalid addresses if there are any. By allowing existing datapoints to keep their
IEC 61850 addresses when new datapoints are added (and addressed), this evolution can be especially
useful where an existing system is being expanded or to integrate non-DS Agile devices.
SBUS automatic addressing only applies to datapoints produced by DS Agile devices (C264, system HMI,
Gateway, etc...). It does not process IEC 61850 addresses for non-DS Agile devices, such as for instance
protection IEDs or measurement centres: Those must be added manually from an import datalist file.
In effect, a new SBUS automatic addressing operation will make no changes to a non-spared datapoint with
a valid IEC 61850 address nor to a datapoint managed by a non-DS Agile IEC 61850 IED, even if:

• its destination changes (e.g.: a datapoint that was sent to the system HMI is now being sent to a
DS Agile Gateway only),

• the IEC 61850 address of another datapoint changes when its configuration is modified (i.e.: datapoint
type change, MV configuration change, feedback added to an xPC, etc...),

• SBUS automatic addressing removes the IEC 61850 addresses of spared or deleted datapoints,
• SBUS automatic addressing re-assigns the addresses of spared or deleted datapoints to new
datapoints of the same type (SPS, DPS, etc...),

• the database is upgraded to a newer version of DS Agile SCE.

SCE/EN AP/D20 AP-9

Application DS Agile System Configuration Editor

Process
For each DS Agile device, Automatic addressing proceeds as follows:

• it removes any IEC 61850 addresses that are no longer compatible with the linked datapoints,
• it removes incomplete IEC 61850 addressing relations (e.g.: where a relation "has for IEC 61850
address" has been manually added but not filled in),

• it links relevant datapoints to new IEC 61850 addresses.

Exception
System datapoints used for diagnostic reports by the DS Agile devices ("DIAG" bricks, except "IEDDIAG")
have their IEC61850 addresses re-assigned upon each new SBUS automatic addressing operation. These
addresses may therefore change if system datapoints are added or deleted but this is of no consequence
because they are internal to the DS Agile system and have no effect on substation control.
Dataset/Report
Third-party devices subscribed directly to a Logical Node:
In this case, if a datapoint is added or deleted, the Logical Node may be altered by SBUS automatic
addressing. This can have an impact on the completeness of the report exchanged with a non-DS Agile
device.
If a datapoint transmitted in a report is deleted or removed from that report, it is possible to replace that
datapoint with a fake datapoint of the same type (SPS, DPS, etc...) in the report so that the position of other
datapoints is not impacted by that removal and the report remains compliant with what any client third party
device(s) would expect..
If a new datapoint is added to a report, the Logical Node is impacted and all the devices that subscribe to
this Logical Node should be reconfigured.

3.1 LOGICAL DEVICE RULES

• One Logical Device LD0 is created for each DS Agile SBUS devices.
LD0 is pre-defined for each type of IED (C26x, Gateway, OI, “system HMI”: aView) and contains some
system information of the IED: an LN HMILDIA1 (system HMI and OI), an LN TGLDIA1 (gateway), an LN
LLN0 and two empty LNs DBID and LPHD are defined and used by system datapoints of the device.
Each LN DIAG contents all device status.
For the OI, there is the DataObjects of status (relative to SPS datapoint OI Client link) referenced by
index of each OI Client linked to this OI Server.

• One Logical Device SYSTEM is created for the C26x and for its Extensions (Legacy IED, SCADA
Network and Extension Rack).
Under this LD SYSTEM is defined a DIAG Logical Node named as:
 C26xDIAG for the C26x,
 IEDDIAGy for a legacy IED y with y in the interval [1, n],
 TCIDIAGy for a SCADA Network y with y in the interval [1, n],
 C26xEDIAGy for an Extension Rack y with y in the interval [1, n].
The DIAG contains DataObjects on the state of the communication between OI Client and OI server. For
the C26x and its Extension Racks, each input or output of board has its DataObject of status referenced
by index.
For the C26x and its Legacy IED, the LD SYSTEM contains also an LN LLN0 and an empty LN LPHD.

AP-10 SCE/EN AP/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Application

During edition, this LD is named only SYSTEM. Nevertheless during generation of .dm file for the Legacy
IEDs, this Logical Device is prefixed by the <IED_name> (e.g. IEDMB1SYSTEM).

• One Logical Device CONTROL is created for each DS Agile C26x unit. It contains Logical Nodes and
DataObjects used for mapping Electrical objects (Substation / Voltage Level / Bays / Module /
Datapoints).

• One Logical Device PROTECTION is created for a DS Agile C26x protection and control unit that
manages Relay Built-in functions.

• One Logical Device MEASUREMENT is created for a C26x that manages:

 measurements computed by a C26x TMU200 or TMU210 or TMU220 board
 measurements linked to an Energy counting function.

3.2 LOGICAL NODE RULES

• All Logical Nodes are suffixed by a number: default value is 1, range is [1..9 999 999];
except for LLN0 and some LNs of LD0.

• A Logical Node name must be unique in the whole IEC 61850 mapping, except LLN0, DBID &
LPHD. The uniqueness is done with number suffix (see previous rule).

• One Logical Node SYSTEM/C26xDIAG is created for each C26x.

• One Logical Node SYSTEM/IEDDIAG is created for each C26x Legacy IED.
• One Logical Node SYSTEM/TCIDIAG is created for each C26x SCADA protocol.
• An LN SYSTEM/RDRE is created for the Legacy IED SPS ‘disturbance file ready’.
• A Logical Node CONTROL/GBAY is created for each bay that is managed by a server and that
contains some particular bay datapoints.

• A Logical Node is created for each module of bay that is managed by a server:
Bay module IEC 61850 LD and LN
Circuit breaker CONTROL/CSWI or CONTROL/XCBR
Switchgear CONTROL/CSWI
Capacitor CONTROL/ZCAP
Converter CONTROL/ZCON
Generator CONTROL/ZGEN
Motor CONTROL/ZMOT
Transformer CONTROL/YPTR
Auto-recloser CONTROL/RREC
Synchro-check CONTROL/RSYN
ATCC CONTROL/ATCC
Tap Changer CONTROL/YLTC
AVR CONTROL/AVCO

• A Logical Node CONTROL/GAPC is created for each User function/Slow Automation (ISaGRAF)
under the server where the automation runs (relation ‘runs on:’).

• Some Logical Nodes CONTROL/GGIO are created for generic modules. A generic module is a non-
typed module. Numerical suffix is used when several GGI0 exists. The number of GGIO is

SCE/EN AP/D20 AP-11

Application DS Agile System Configuration Editor

minimized with the following assertion:

No more 50 ST DataObjects could be defined under the same GGIO.
No more 50 MX DataObjects could be defined under the same GGIO.
No more 50 SP DataObjects could be defined under the same GGIO.
No more 50 CO DataObjects could be defined under the same GGIO.

• A Logical Node CONTROL/CILO is created for all xPC datapoints for which Interlocking datapoints
are defined.

• A Logical Node CONTROL/RDRE is created for the C26x SPS ‘disturbance file ready’.
• A LN is created for each threshold of bay relay function that is managed by a server.

3.3 DATAOBJECT RULES

• Default dataObject naming rule: a dataObject (DO) is created with a name and a common class
under a Functional Component and a Logical Node. This Logical Node represents the parent of the
datapoint: a bay, a module, a built-in function or a user function. Logical Node rules are defined in the
previous section.

Datapoint could be linked to another datapoint through relation ‘has for feedback’.

With SBO or without SBO is the SBO mode value of the datapoint profile.

The column Functional Component (FC) indicates the data objects created for one
datapoint: a dataObject by component. SV components are optional.

The column DataObject Common classes (CDC) indicates the common class used for each
dataObject of datapoint.

• Particular dataObject naming rule is refined for some datapoints. The Logical Node under which the
DataObject is created depends on the Logical Node rules.
Only common classes different from the default common classes are re-defined in this table. The
default common class is derived from the type of the datapoint and the previous table. The type of
datapoint is indicated by the last part of datapoint mnemonic. For example AR_Status_MPS is an
MPS.

located under different Functional Components (SV, CF) have the same name.

• SV dataObject is optional. It exists if flag ‘enable Force/Subst/Sup’ of profile of datapoint is set to

‘Yes’.

• Only non-spared datapoints are taken into account in automatic addressing. If a formerly spared
datapoint is "unspared", then an automatic addressing operation must be done again.

3.4 GOOSE RULES

Only MX/ST/LSP DataObjects under Functional Components MX, ST and LSP can be goosed. A dataObject
is GOOSE-transmitted if the linked DP is used in a remote automation (FBD, ISaGRAF). ‘Remote’ means
that the server of the DP is not the server of the automation.
The following datapoints are always GOOSE-transmitted:

• ‘Global Alarm Acknowledgement’ SPS

• ‘Main status MV’ SPS (FailSt) for C26x units in redundancy (main + backup)
• IEC 61850 communications between main and backup C26x units; the attribute ‘goose usage’ of this
relationship client/server is forced to ‘Goose only’
The Automatic Goose transmission flag of a dataObject contains these conditions.
The Manual Goose transmission flag of a dataObject is set manually (relation ‘has for IEC address’).
Between 2 automatic addressing operations, this flag value is kept if the dataObject still exists.
A DataObject is GOOSE-transmitted if Automatic or Manual Goose transmission flags are true.

SCE/EN AP/D20 AP-19

Application DS Agile System Configuration Editor

If a Goose datapoint with an IEC 61850 address is deleted or removed from a GOOSE, then it is possible to
replace that datapoint with a virtual GOOSE datapoint of the same type (SPS, DPS, etc...) and same
GOOSE rank in order to maintain the system's compatibility with third party devices.
The Capacity of each goose (one for ST, one for MX, three for LSP) is limited to 1000 bytes.
For each type of object, the GOOSE-transmitted data might differ. Here is the list of data leaves transmitted
using goose for each type of Data Object:

3.5 REPORT RULES

The configuration of IEC 61850 reports received from IEDs other than the C26x changed as of version 5.0.4
of the DS Agile system. Databases created with previous versions need to be modified in order to be
compatible with the newer versions of DS Agile SCE.
Before importing an IED model into an SCE configuration database, Reports and Gooses must be defined in
the ICD or XML IEC 61850 model. Datasets, as well as the report/dataset and Goose/dataset associations,
must be defined in the IID file.
IEC 61850 reports received from IEDs other than the C26x must now be manually linked to their clients.

Note:
When a configuration database that was last modified with a version older than DS Agile v5.0.4 is upgraded to the
latest release of DS Agile SCE, the report linking settings must be updated in order for the database to be compatible
with this version of DS Agile.

When the data model is imported into DS Agile SCE, it checks whether the RptEnabled element is included
in the xml file, and if it is, whether it is complemented by a Max. attribute.

• If RptEnabled is present and the Max attribute is set to a value higher than 0, each report is
instantiated as many times as allowed in the data model by the setting for the Max attribute. Instances
are labelled using the name of the report to which index numbers are added, starting at 01, 02 etc.
They are incremented up to the maximum number permitted. Each instance can then be linked to one
client by means of the new relation is used by.
Example: If Max. = 3, the following instances will be created for a report called urcbA: urcbA01,
urcbA02 and urcbA03.

• If RptEnabled is present and if the Max. attribute is either not present or is set to 0, each report is
present once under it own name (without adding any index number). It can then be linked to one client
by means of the new relation is used by.

• If RptEnabled is not present, each report is present once under it own name (without adding any
index number). It can then be linked to an unlimited number of clients, each via a separate relation is
used by.

Note:
For the DS Agile System Management Tool to download disturbance records from the IEDs, reports containing the
datapoint DREC ready have to be linked to:
- up to SCE sce-5.12.0.0-build25: the Scs system root,
- after SCE sce-5.12.0.0-build25: the new IEC 61850 SMT device.

3.6 DRIVING THE IMPORT PROCESS THROUGH COMMAND LINES

The SCE is delivered with sample scripts and documentation that allow launching silent mode commands
such as OPEN, IMPORT, EXPORT, CHECK IN, CHECK OUT, GENERATE, AUTO-ADDRESSING,
AUTOLINK, SAVE, CLOSE, VALIDATE using an appropriate scripting manager environment.

Note:
For Installation of Groovy Environment, refer to chapter SCE/EN IN

The SCE Scripting Manager allows processing

• DS Agile data bases

• The Open a data base action
• The Open data base library action
• The importing an FCS file
• The importing an XML file
• The Check a data base action
• The Automatic addressing a data base action
• The Auto-link a data base action
• The CheckIn a data base action
• The Generate a versioned data base action
• The Close a data base action
• The Save a data base action
• The CheckOut a data base

Example: Open and generate a standard DS AGILE database

1 Run the batch file {DS AGILE_SCE_DIRECTORY}\ScriptsManager\launchGroovy.bat
2 Groovy Console appears as shown below:

3.7 GOOSE RANK RESETTING

Datapoint addressing is explained in the C26x technical manual’s Application chapter.
The automatic addressing function generates application logical units relevant to the electrical bays
managed by a C26x, an IEC 61850 IED or a Gateway.
Right-click the relevant node (SBUS network, System Group, C26x, or IEC61850 gen IED node in the
Object view, and then select SBUS Automatic Addressing.

(1)

Figure 1: IEC 61850-8-1 automatic addressing

In order to avoid gaps in the GOOSE ranking, the SBUS Automatic addressing function displays a dialog box
that can be used to re-address the GOOSE links for data objects that have been removed.

You can check the box ‘reset of goose rank' to forcefully reset ALL of the Goose ranks of IEC 61850-8-1
mapping at the current level in the treelike structure: they are reset with an undefined value (as they are not
goosed anymore) & all the remaining goose ranks are re-computed in a new order.

Caution:
If GOOSE frames have to be processed by non-DS Agile subscribers, such
as for instance protection IEDs, it may be necessary to manually re-assign
ranks for the affected datapoints, in order to maintain compatibility with the
subscribers’ configuration.

4 FBD EDITOR
The Logical Equation Viewer is an application that allows the edition of one equation (FBD logic diagram).
It is launched from the menu item Workbenches/FBD Edit.

• either at the creation: only with the I/O slots declared as I/O parameters in DS Agile
• or at the modification: with the schema already entered and eventually a redefinition of the
inputs/outputs.
The Function Block Diagram language combines functions and function blocks interconnected by signal
flow lines in order to define function block diagram networks.
The Equation Viewer allows the programmer to build equations by taking existing blocks from libraries,
defining data flow between functions, …
The application can print a view on as many folios as required to cover the full content of this view.
Boundaries of printed folios are clearly indicated on the FBD view.
The application is also able to open on-line help following the chosen language.
In addition, text annotations may be used to document the logic.

AP-28 SCE/EN AP/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Application

4.1 OVERVIEW
The views exposed by this application are several FBD Views of the same document.
Through these views it is possible to edit the equation logic.

• a Logging View that shows warnings and error messages when the equation is saved,
• an FBD Overview that shows the whole content of the FBD view,
• a Library Toolbar containing the whole set of FBD blocks of the library.

An FBD document gathers a lot of FBD networks needed to achieve functionality.

FBD documents are divided into pages. Page boundaries are set in order to have for instance almost 40
blocks on a page. Pages are the smallest entities that can be printed.

SCE/EN AP/D20 AP-29

Application DS Agile System Configuration Editor

4.2 FBD EDITOR VIEWS

It displays the part of the equation logic that is currently edited.
The Editor View acts as a peephole to the document that may be too large to allow display of all FBD logic at
once.
With the scrolling facilities, this peephole can be moved across the document to reveal different portions of
it. Acting on the Overview or on the Editor View horizontal and vertical scroll bars may do this.
With the zooming facilities, it is possible to modify the zoom level of the Editor View for an improved
readability. This may be achieved by acting on the Overview or on the Zoom dialog box.

4.2.1 FBD EDITOR VIEW

Close: Like any window: you click on the cross at the upper right coin of the window.
Scroll: Scroll bars are available (horizontal and vertical) to move the peephole through the FBD document;
this movement is visible in the Overview window by the corresponding movement of the blue rectangle. You
can also move the screen one page at a time by clicking left inside the scroll bar (see "Navigation Features").
Zoom: Resizing the Editor view leads to show a larger or lower part of the FBD Document. The size of the
displayed graphical components is not modified when resizing the Editor view.
On the other hand, the size of the displayed components is modified if you change the zoom ratio with the
Overview blue rectangle manipulation (see "Zoom Features").

AP-30 SCE/EN AP/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Application

User Interactions
Edition: You can create a network by:

• dropping Blocks on the Editor view,

• linking these blocks with Signal Flow Lines, Connecting lines and Connections,
• defining input/output operands using slots and literals.
For more details about it, see § 4.4.5 Functions and Function Blocks.
Status Bar: The status bar may be toggled on and off at the bottom of the window by using the Status Bar
option in the View menu.
The status bar displays information about the activity associated to toolbar icons when the mouse cursor

Application DS Agile System Configuration Editor

4.3 UNDERSTANDING FBD

The Equation Viewer allows the programmer to build equations by taking existing blocks from libraries,
assigning their input/output parameters, defining data flow between functions…
In addition, text annotations may be used to document the logic.

4.3.1 GRAPHICAL COMPONENT ON THE EDITOR VIEW

4.3.1.1 GRAPHICAL COMPONENT SUMMARY

FBD Language Elements
Slots, Functions, Function Blocks, Connecting Lines, Signal Flow Lines, Horizontal/Vertical Connections,
Literal
Annotations
Text Annotations

4.3.1.2 PROPERTIES

(1) Slots describe input/output parameters of Functions or Function Blocks.

(2) A Function or Function Block is a FBD instruction which, when executed, yields one or more
values.
(3) A Function, Function Block or Slot can have one or more Connecting lines.
(4) Signal flow lines represent the data flow between Blocks: head and tail of a SFL may either be put
on a Slot, a Function or Function Block CL or on a H/V C. Only one Signal Flow Line may be
routed from one connecting line.
(5) A Signal Flow Line may be derived in many locations of its path inserting Horizontal/Vertical
connections at these locations.
Inserting an H/V C in the SFL path break down this SFL into two new SFL connected to the H/V C.
A H/V C may not stay alone on the Editor view.
(6) Literal may be used to customize Function or Function Block inputs.

Note:
For DS Agile V3, only duration literal is available.

AP-34 SCE/EN AP/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Application

(7) (7) Network evaluation sequence index is automatically calculated.

(8) (8) Text annotations are useful to the equation.

Note:
Graphical components can be put anywhere on the FBD Editor view. Graphical overlapping and page boundaries
crossing checks are made.
Edition is Language Sensitive and allows only the building of semantically meaningful FBD networks.

4.3.2 LANGUAGE ELEMENTS

4.3.2.1 FUNCTION (F)

Definition: A Function is defined as a FBD instruction which, when executed, yields exactly one data
element.
Functions are stateless (invocation of a Function with the same arguments shall always yield the same
output value).
Drawing: The illustration shows the features of a Function.

More details

• about Function usages in "Functions and Function Blocks",

• about the Block pop-up menu in "Activity List of Blocks".

4.3.2.2 FUNCTION BLOCK (FB)

Definition: A Function Block is an FBD instruction which, when executed, yields one or more values.
Multiple copies, named instances, of a Function Block can be created.
All the values of the output parameters and of the internal variables shall persist from one execution of the
Function Block to the next; therefore, invocation of a Function Block with the same arguments needs not
always yield the same output values.
Output parameters shall be accessible outside an instance of a Function Block.
Drawing: The illustrations below show the features of a Function-Block

SCE/EN AP/D20 AP-35

Application DS Agile System Configuration Editor

More details

• in "Functions and Function Blocks",

• about Block pop-up menu: "Activity List of Blocks".

4.3.2.3 CONNECTING LINES (CL)

Connecting lines represent graphically the input and output signals of a Function or a Function Block.
Connecting lines are typed.
Examples: BOOL, TIME
More details

• about the CL usage in "Signal Flow Lines (SFL)" and in "Working with Literals",
• about the CL pop-up menu: "Activity List of Connecting Lines".

4.3.2.4 SIGNAL FLOW LINES (SFL)

Signal flow lines represent the data flow between Blocks: head and tail of an SFL may either be put on a
Slot, a Function or Function Block CL or on a H/V C.
An SFL is created by left clicking on a CL or a H/V C without releasing the mouse button, moving the mouse
up to reach another CL or H/V C.
Routing is made automatically.
The SFL route can be adjusted translating SFL segments.
A signal flow line must be connected on its two ends to a Function, Function Block CL or a H/V C.

AP-36 SCE/EN AP/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Application

Head and tail must be connected to CL having the same type and the same variable symbol name. If not, the
connection fails.
More details

• about the SFL usage in the chapter "Signal Flow Lines (SFL)"
• about the SFL pop-up menu: "Activity List of Signal Flow Lines"

4.3.2.5 HORIZONTAL/VERTICAL CONNECTIONS (H/V C)

Horizontal/Vertical Connections represent signal connections between Signal Flow Lines.

H/V connections allow quick understanding of line crossing with or without connections.
A new H/V connection is added by breaking down a horizontal or vertical signal flow line into two segments
and allows the connection of a respectively vertical or horizontal new one. It can also be added at an SFL
bend.
More details
about the H/V C usage in "

• FBD Network",
• about the H/V C pop-up menu: "Activity List of H/V Connections".

4.3.2.6 SLOTS

Slots describe the equation input/output parameters defined by DS Agile. Therefore, new Slots can not be
created.
More details

• about the Slots usage in "Slots",

• about the Slots pop-up menu: "Activity List of Slots".

SCE/EN AP/D20 AP-37

Application DS Agile System Configuration Editor

4.3.3 TEXT ANNOTATIONS

Text annotations (TA) are used in FBD documents. A Text Annotation is a comment that you can write in
the background of the FBD document.
Text annotations may be left anywhere on the edition view sheet except on page boundaries.
For manipulations, see "Working with Text Annotations".
TA pop-up menu is described in "Activity List of Text Annotations".

4.3.4 EVALUATION STRATEGY

In an FBD document, each Function Block is marked with an execution order number. FBD editor gives
itself all the sequence indexes to all the F and FB.
This number is called "Network evaluation sequence index" and is automatically calculated (see
description of "Function (F").
This automatic calculation is founded upon the IEC standard. The most important rule of the IEC standard
is the obligation to evaluate at once, all the FB linked with the input Connecting Lines of the current FB to
evaluate.

4.4 EQUATION VIEWER

4.4.1 FBD DOCUMENT

An FBD Document gathers a lot of FBD networks needed to achieve equations.
The whole document is visible in the Overview.
The document is divided into pages that are delimited by dashed lines (page boundaries) in the Overview
and in the Editor view.

Page ranges on X and Y are from 1 to 4 allowing a maximum matrix of 12 pages (3*4/2*6).

AP-38 SCE/EN AP/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Application

The document control panel allows resizing the FBD document matrix by specifying the number of pages.

Note:
It is impossible to reduce a document size if it involves the removing of non-empty pages: it is necessary to delete or
move these FBD networks before.

4.4.2 NAVIGATION FEATURES

There are different ways to change the Editor view content, from the Editor view itself or from the Overview:
To shift the view with a smooth scroll:

• Use the arrow keys:

• Use the mouse: left-clicking on the vertical/horizontal scroll bars arrows
To shift the view by half-page:

• Use the arrow keys:

• Use the mouse: click the free part of the scroll bar
To shift the view by an entire page:

• Use the keys: buttons PgUp and PgDn

• Use the mouse: click the blue rectangle and move it up to the next page
To shift the view in the middle of the document

• Use the keys: button 5 of the keypad in Num Lock position

• Use the mouse: click the blue rectangle and move it up to the middle

SCE/EN AP/D20 AP-39

Application DS Agile System Configuration Editor

To shift the view at the beginning and at the end of the document

• Use keys:
Home: the blue rectangle goes to the top left corner of the document overview.

End: the blue rectangle goes to the bottom right corner of the document overview.

• Use the mouse: click the blue rectangle and move it up to the top left corner or the bottom right corner
of the document
In all cases with the mouse you can:

• shift the view anywhere by left clicking on the blue rectangle and move it where you want in the
document, keeping the left click on

• click anywhere in the document Overview window and the blue rectangle comes where you have
clicked

4.4.3 ZOOM FEATURES

It is possible to adjust the Zoom level of the Editor view in order to have the best compromise between the
amount of information displayed and their readability.
Edition is possible for any Zoom ratio.
For example: working with a high Zoom ratio is useful for structural operation (subnetwork duplication, ...)

AP-40 SCE/EN AP/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Application

The Zoom unit is a page.

The Zoom minimum value is 1/120th of a page.
The Zoom maximum value is the page number fixed by the user (see "FBD document").
The current Zoom value is displayed in the edit field.
There are different means to modify the Zoom ratio:
The arrows and double arrows are used to modify Zoom more precisely.
< and > modify the Zoom ratio of a tenth (1/10) of a page.
<< and >> modify the Zoom ratio of a half page.
|< and >| set the minimum and maximum Zoom ratio.
"Edition quality" sets the Zoom ratio to have the best readability of Blocks and comments on the chosen
view. The Default button has the same behaviour.
The "one" button sets the Zoom ratio to "one page per view".
If you have chosen to work with the Zoom ratio set for a maximized window:
You have to select the option "for a maximized window" like in the example above.
In this case you can also modify the Zoom ratio by moving the blue rectangle in the Overview.
If you modify the Editor window size, the Zoom ratio stays the same and more or less FBD logic is visible.
If you have chosen to work with whatever size of window:
You have to select "whatever size of the window".
In this case, it is not possible to modify the Zoom ratio by the overview.
If you modify the Editor view size, the same content will be displayed with another Zoom ratio.

4.4.4 SELECTION MODEL

4.4.4.1 SELECTION OF A GRAPHICAL COMPONENT

All graphical components may be individually selected by a left-click or by a right click. In the second case, a
pop-up activity list is also displayed.
a In response to this explicit selection, a selection feedback is provided.

AP-42 SCE/EN AP/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Application

c Actions on the selected component

Depending on the selected component, some actions are or are not allowed.
Example: Cut or Copy are not allowed on a SFL.
Depending on the selected component and the action, some non-explicitly selected graphical
components may be affected and no feedback is provided for them.
Effects of this type of selection is indicated in another way.
Example: CL are moved and SFL are re-routed when moving a selected function block.
WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) effect is provided during Move/Copy operations: dashed
graphical components represent the operation result at the drop time.
More Details
See "Block manipulation" or "Move/Copy-Paste/Cut-Paste operation for Network region".

4.4.4.2 SELECTION OF A SUBNETWORK

A subnetwork is a set of graphical components that have a functional meaning.
d To select a subnetwork
A subnetwork can be selected drawing a focus rectangle around it:
you left-click anywhere in the document and with the mouse button maintained on, you fully surround all
the components you want in the subnetwork (the focus rectangle is composed of dashed lines).

For each graphical component fully included inside the focus rectangle, a selection feedback is provided
as described in "Selection of a graphical component".
e To aggregate several objects
Click the first object and for the others, click holding down the Ctrl key. All these not contiguous objects
create a set that can be copied, cut or deleted as the subnetwork described below.
f To aggregate several subnetworks
You can also add a new subnetwork to the previous selection set by drawing a focus rectangle (as above)
around this new subnetwork while pressing the Ctrl key.
g To cancel the selection:
Any left click on the background cancels the previous selection.

4.4.5 FUNCTIONS AND FUNCTION BLOCKS

4.4.5.1 HOW TO GET A BLOCK

To add an FBD Block, choose the block by left clicking on the corresponding button in the FBD toolbar and
place it in the document by left clicking in the FBD View where it must be placed.
After the selection of the block, the cursor (usually an arrow) is replaced by a cursor representing the block.

When the block is added to the document, it can be moved or duplicated by drag & drop.

4.4.5.2 BLOCK MANIPULATION

Right-click a Block to select it and also display a pop-up activity list whose items are explained below; then it
becomes possible to do some manipulations with the selected Instruction.
To move a Block, select the chosen block and move the mouse holding down the left button (drag and drop).
The borders are then drawn in dashed lines as the linked SFL which stay attached and are automatically
rerouted.

Note: If you drop/copy on a wrong area, the element remains displayed dashed red. It is now possible to initiate a
new drag&drop/copy operation in order to move the element in a right area.

To delete an F or FB, select the chosen Instruction and one of these options:

• Press the "Delete" key: the Instruction is definitely deleted

• Press Ctrl+X: "Cut" operation without following "Paste"
• Select the wanted operation in the Edit menu: "Cut" or "Delete"
• Select the "Delete" item in the pop-up menu (right click)

4.4.5.3 EXTENSIBILITY
Extensibility is supported on some Boolean operators. This means that you can extend the number of inputs
CL of a block by duplicating the last one.

• Select the input CL you want to duplicate.

• Select the Duplicate item in the pop-up menu of the CL.
The new input CL is created, with the same attributes as the duplicated one.

• If the need arises, delete a duplicated input CL by using the Delete CL item in the CL pop-up menu

4.4.5.4 NEGATION
It is possible to negate an input or output Boolean CL, by using the Toggle Negation item in the pop-up
menu of the CL.

This item will obviously toggle the negation on and off.

4.4.5.5 HOW TO GET HELP ABOUT A BLOCK

The on-line help may be launched (F1 key) from any FBD block of the FBD View.

4.4.6 SIGNAL FLOW LINES (SFL)

4.4.6.1 SFL HANDLING

To draw an SFL from an F or FB to another one:

• Left click on the chosen CL of the original F or FB: it initiates a new “Signal Flow Lines (SFL)” routing;
the feedback is the CL becomes white.

• Move the cursor until the CL of the ending F or FB (holding down the left button); the SFL is drawing in
dashed line(s).

• release the left click when the cursor is on the destination CL; the SFL is now drawn in continuous
lines and in selected mode.

Note:
Head and Tail must be connected to CL having the same type. In this case the feedback is a white dashed SFL.
If not, an error is displayed by a red dashed line feedback and a "not entry" sign.

SCE/EN AP/D20 AP-47

Application DS Agile System Configuration Editor

Information about "Literal manipulation (Paste/Delete/Cut/Copy".

Each time an SFL routing is necessary, it is made automatically but roughly.
It is efficient enough for the most frequently operations made on networks.
Meanwhile, the SFL route can be adjusted by translating segments:

• select the SFL segment left by clicking it

• keep the left click and move the mouse until having the right routing.
The SFL is drawn in dashed lines during the operation

• release the left click to have the final route; the SFL is drawn in continuous lines.
To definitely delete an SFL:

• select the chosen SFL and then:

• press the "Delete" key or
• select the item "Delete SFL" of the pop-up activity list (right click) or
• select the "Delete" operation in the Edit menu
To change the SFL drawing thickness, right click and select "Toggle thickness" in the SFL pop-up activity
list.
The result is shown below:

4.4.6.2 SFL DERIVATION: H/V C

A H/V C connection breaks down an horizontal or vertical Signal Flow Line into two segments and allows
connection of respectively vertical or horizontal new one. It allows quick understanding of line crossing with
or without connections.

AP-48 SCE/EN AP/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Application

To insert a Horizontal/Vertical Connection in a SFL, you have to do the following actions:

• select the SFL where you want insert a H/V C

• right-click with the mouse and a pop-up activity list is displayed
• select the item "Insert H/V C" and the H/V C symbol is displayed at the cursor location on the SFL
drawing
To delete a Horizontal/Vertical Connection, you have to do the following actions:

• select the H/V C

• right-click with the mouse and a pop-up activity list is displayed
• select the item
"Delete H/V C & SFL": the selected H/V C and all the SFL linked to are deleted
"Delete H/V C, SFL & symbol": the selected H/V C, all the SFL connected to and the corresponding
symbol are deleted

4.4.7 SLOTS
Slots are graphical FBD elements representing input/output list.
That list is written in the XML input file by the DS Agile Environment before the calling of the Equation Viewer
application. Slots are represented as shown:

SCE/EN AP/D20 AP-49

Application DS Agile System Configuration Editor

Each slot has a Connecting Line that is a link between:

• an input slot and the input of a block or function block (SFL)

• an output of a block or function block and an output slot (SFL)
The orientation of the Slots can be toggled thanks to the Left and Right items of their pop-up menu.

4.4.8 FBD NETWORK

4.4.8.1 MOVE/COPY-PASTE/CUT-PASTE OPERATION FOR NETWORK REGION

The general mechanism is quite the same using clipboard or drag and drop facilities:
Select a network region on the Editor view (see "Selection of a subnetwork").
Initiate a Cut-Paste/Copy-Paste or drag and drop operation.
Terminate this operation either by cancelling it or by entering it (you can stop the operation by pushing on the
Esc key or by dropping in a "no entry" area).
To move a network region
* Drag and drop operation

• Select the network.

• Click one of selected objects.
• Move the mouse holding down the left button.

• Press the "Delete" key: subnetwork is definitely deleted

• Press Ctrl+X: "Cut" operation
• Select the wanted operation in the Edit menu: "Cut" or "Delete"
4.4.8.2 WORKING WITH SEVERAL EDITOR VIEWS
When you are working in a document, you can probably have to move or copy a Block or a subnetwork from
a document area to another or to draw a SFL from a Block to another.
If the two areas or blocks are not visible in the same view, you have two options:
6 Drag-scroll through the document with the drawback of not seeing the beginning AND the end of your
operation at the same time.
7 Open another view of the same document:
In the main toolbar, select the "New Window" item of the "Window" menu.
A second window of the same document is opened and is independent of the first one.
You can choose different Zoom ratios, focus on different document areas, ...

Now, it is possible to drag and drop, SFL drawing, ... from one view to the other but in the same document
and seeing the two views at the same time.

Note:
The sequence index is automatically modified, adapted to the new network. SFL connections are not allowed between
different documents.

4.4.9 FBD GRAPHICAL CONTROLS

You cannot put FBD graphical elements anywhere in the Editor window:

• either on or quite near a Block or a Text Annotation,

• or on the page boundaries.
In these cases, FBD returns a feedback to show the problem:
RED dashed lines to indicate what draw part is in a forbidden zone, with a "no entry" sign.
YELLOW dashed lines to indicate the objects which becomes unacceptable because of the attached wrong
(RED) object.

SCE/EN AP/D20 AP-53

Application DS Agile System Configuration Editor

Example 1: MOVE operation

During the Move operation, these colours (red and yellow) are displayed as long as the moved object is in a
wrong area. If you drop in a wrong situation, the drawing is like before the move operation and the colour
dashed lines are removed.
Example 2: Copy/Paste between two Editor windows

During the Copy operation, the graphical element is displayed red as long as it is in a wrong area. If you drop
it on this wrong area, the element remains displayed dashed red. It is now possible to initiate a new drag &
drop operation in order to move it on a right area.

4.4.10 FBD SEMANTICAL CONTROLS

4.4.10.1 PROTOTYPICAL FBD NETWORK NOTION

In the description of a Function or a Function Block, each connecting line has definite characteristics which
fix the data types choice possibilities for each of them.
The Equation Viewer controls that the edited variable meets the CL criteria.
Connecting Lines prototypes are characterized by Data type. A CL can accept variables of one or several
data types (ex: Bool, Time, ...). Supported data types depend on target types.
Two CLs of two F or FB which has to be linked by an SFL must have compatible data types; if not, the
Equation Viewer doesn't allow the SFL drawing as explained in "Prototypical Controls".

4.4.10.2 PROTOTYPICAL CONTROLS

The Equation Viewer controls that two linked CLs have compatible characteristics.
Example with no compatible data type: Error feedback

4.4.11 WORKING WITH LITERALS

The Equation Viewer allows the creation of boolean and duration literals.
When assigning a literal, users will be prompted to enter its value:
Duration:
duration::= (T| t )#[-]) interval
interval::= days| hours | minutes | seconds | milliseconds
fixed_point::= integer[.integer]
days:: = Fixed_Point ( d |D)
hours:: = Fixed_Point ( h | H)
minutes:: = Fixed_Point ( m | M)
seconds::= Fixed_Point (s | S)
milliseconds::= Fixed_Point (ms | MS)
Example: T#100ms, t#10H30m15s
When the user assigns a literal to a function or function block input parameter, checks are made in order to
evaluate if the data type complies with this one expected on this parameter.
If not, the assignment fails.

4.4.11.1 ASSOCIATE SYMBOL

Double click the left mouse button on the CL or you click the right mouse button and select the Associate
symbol item in the activity list of a SFL, a CL or a H/V C.
An edit field is then opened where you can type the literal you wish to associate to the CL. Near the name of
the CL, in square brackets, is the data type which can be associated.

SCE/EN AP/D20 AP-55

Application DS Agile System Configuration Editor

4.5 DEFINING AN FBD FAST AUTOMATION

To define an FBD fast automation, the three following steps must be done:

• FBD interface definition at SCE level:

 FBD function ‘header’ creation
 creation of input plugs, that will be linked to SPS, DPS, MV, MPS, SPC or DPC (fast automations
take into account the logical value of these datapoints, defined for interlocking management),
added as sub-objects to this header.
 creation of output plugs, that will be linked to SPC, DPC (control of relays) or to a SPS (production
of SPS real-time value), added as sub-objects to this header.

• FBD body (coding in PSL) definition via launching at SCE level the FBD editor (contextual menu on
the FBD interface object) and doing diagram edition of boolean, timer and bistable functions, and links
to input/output plugs.

• Effective linking of input and output plugs to existing datapoints

4.5.1 CREATING AN FBD FAST AUTOMATION (HEADER DEFINITION)

The addition of an FBD fast automation is done via the “Objects entry” window at any level of the electrical
topology (except Site) by clicking on mouse’s right button.
For more details about the creation of an electrical topology, refer to the Application guide for the C26x
computer.

Figure 4: Adding an FBD Fast Automation (e.g. for Feeder bay level)

Once added, the FBD fast automation features must be set:

(9) Edit the relation ‘runs on’, to set computer PLC manages the automation. This relation is
automatically established by SCE if FBD automation is located under a bay whose manager has
ever been entered (inheritance mechanism).
(10) Type the short name and long name of the fast automation used for internal SCE identification.

4.5.5 LINKING DATAPOINTS TO FBD INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

To assign a datapoint to an FBD input:

• Add the relation ‘uses <XXX>’ (1) at FBD input level, where XXX corresponds to the datapoint type
(SPS, DPS, MPS, MV, SPC or DPC)

• Fill the relation with the relevant datapoint

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Application

• Add the relation ‘controls <XXX>’ (1) or ‘produces SPS’ at FBD input level, where XXX corresponds to
the control datapoint type (SPC or DPC)

• Fill the relation with the relevant datapoint

(1)

Figure 13: Linking an FBD Output to a Datapoint

Several datapoints can be assigned to the same FBD output.

Configuration rules and checks

• For one "FBD input" plug, only one relation is allowed.

• For one "FBD output" plug:
 the count of relations towards DPC or SPC datapoints must be ≤ 4
 the count of relations towards SPS datapoints must be ≤ 4

• A "DPC" or "SPC" datapoint can be linked to an Output plug of a FBD Automation through the relation
"controls DPC" or "controls SPC". These relations are not compatible with the following ones:
 relations defining the Control Source, except the "…wired on" relation(s)
 relation "has for IEC address" whatever the link type
 relation "has for SCADA address".
 relation "is controlled on state change of".
 relation "has for AutoManu dependency".
 relation "has for feedback".
 relation "has for local/remote dependency".

• A "DPC" or "SPC" datapoint can be linked to an Input plug of an FBD Automation through the relation
"uses DPC" or "uses SPC". These relations are not compatible with the following ones:
 relations defining the Control Source : "…wired on"
 relation defining the Control Source : "has for IED address"

5 COUPLING SCE DATA MODEL AND ISAGRAF

5.1 ISAGRAF PRESENTATION

Installed versions:
Target
C26x Gateway
Application
RT exe 5.21 5.22
Workbench integrated into the SCE 5.22 5.22

5.1.1 ISAGRAF WORKBENCH DESCRIPTION

• The workbench is used to design and develop distributed process control applications. These
applications are organised in projects

• A project gathers the whole of all program elements and is composed of configurations
• A configuration is a hardware platform which supports kernels that execute resources. In our version
there is only one resource

• A resource is composed of several units of program (POU). In the current version there is exactly one
resource per configuration

• The POUs (Program Organisation Unit) can be programs, functions or functional blocs. They are
described using the IEC1131-3 compliant textual or graphic languages. They are organised on a
hierarchical basis architecture

• The kernel or virtual machine is the real time software that runs the resource code
• A target (C26x or Gateway) is attached to a configuration. It must be installed on a platform that
supports a multi-task operating system such as Windows or VxWorks

• A user function is a function called in automatic control programs (right-click on Insert/Set block) and
executed on the target

• The dictionary includes all the variables (input, output or internal), all the function parameters
definitions, all the types (simple or user defined) and all the defined words (constants definition)

• The languages can be either graphic or textual. They are used to describe the Program organisation
units (POU). They are compliant with the IEC1131-3 standard.
 SFC: Sequential Function Chart (grafcet)
 FBD: Function Block Diagram (functional diagram)
 LD: Ladder Diagram (Boolean logic based language)
 ST: Structured Text
 IL: Instruction List
There is another graphic language in the workbench: FC (Flow Chart) in addition to those in the standard.
The automation functions can be designed using any of the graphic or textual languages available in
ISaGRAF. Depending on the problem that the automation has to solve, one language can be better adapted
than another. All languages except the SFC can be instantiated, i.e. they can be used to create a functional
block.

The workbench contains an exchanges diagram (display of the resources and their possible links), a view of
material architecture (presentation of the configurations with their resources), the data dictionary and the
graphic editors which allow to display the POUs (SFC editor, FC editor and multi-language editor for FBD,
LD, ST and IT languages).

5.1.2 DIRECTORIES STRUCTURE OF ISAGRAF

When the workshop is installed, the following directories tree structure is created:

A project is composed of:

• the MS Access database file in the root directory of the project

• the source files of the POU of the resource in the repertory /config1/ressource1
All the data dictionary is saved in the MS Access database file.
The POU files have the STF extension.
When a POU is added into a resource, an STF file is created in the resource folder. It contains the graphic
description (elements coordinates in the editor) as well as the algorithms.

The compilation of a project produces several files such *.XTC embedding the TIC code. The TIC code is the
“interpretable code” of the automation.

5.1.3 UPLOADED FILES TOWARDS THE TARGET

During upload, the workbench transfers several files to hardware platforms.
The files that are transferred are the following ones:

• Resource (for each resource of that platform):

 A resource configuration file is downloaded.
Name of that file on workbench = RESOURCENAME_Conf.xtc.
Name of that file (or memory module) on hardware platform = ISPxxx03 (with xxx being resource
number in hexadecimal).
 A file containing resource symbols (variable names and so on) will be downloaded if ‘embed
symbol table’ option has been checked in resource properties).
Name of that file on workbench = RESOURCENAME_SymbolsTarget.xtc (this table is complete or
reduced according to resource properties option at last compiling).
Name of that file on target = IDSxxx01

• Pou (for each POU of a resource):

 All POU TIC code files on workbench (file name = ResourceName_POUName_xtc) will be
concatenated into a single file.
 Order for the concatenation is the one given by workbench file ResourceName_DWLOrder.xtc.
 On hardware platform side, the name of that file will be ISPxxx01.

• Hardware platform:
 The hardware configuration file is downloaded.
 On workbench, file is stored in the project configuration directory, (not in a resource directory).
 The workbench file name is: ConfigName_NetworkConf.xtc.
 On hardware platform side, the name of that file is ISPffe0d.

Note
This document does not say which files are transferred in on-line modification case (ISPxxx15).

Thus, the files must be modified before download to the target:

• RESOURCE1_Conf.xtc must be renamed as ISP00103

• RESOURCE1_SymbolsTarget.xtc must be renamed as IDS00101
• Config1_NetworkConf.xtc must be renamed as ISPffe0d
All POU TIC files will be concatenated in file ISP00101 in the order described the DwlOrder.txt file.

5.2 USAGE OF SCE DATAPOINTS IN ISAGRAF

The DataPoints (DP) are defined inside the SCE. They are used by the automation as I/Os. An automation
can interact with the system only via these DataPoints.
Any DP used in the code of an automation must be defined beforehand in the SCE.
There are three different types of relation between an automation and DataPoints:

AP-72 SCE/EN AP/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Application

• The function owns the DataPoint (hierarchical relation)

• The function is server of the Data Point (server relation)
• The function is client of the Data Point (client relation)
For the interface definition, refer to the chapter C26x/EN AP or GTW/EN AP.

5.2.1 HIERARCHICAL RELATION: FUNCTION MANAGEMENT DPS

In the electrical tree structure these DPs are defined under the function. The function is the owner of the DP.
Examples:

• ON/OFF command of the automation

• functions parameters
• current values and current state of the automation
The function has the following rights on the real time attributes of the DP:

• status (SPS, DPS, MPS, SPC, DPC, SetPoint): read/write

• value (MV, TPI, Counter): read/write

• quality (all DP except SPC, DPC, SetPoint): read/write

• threshold value (MV, Counter): read

• alarm (global alarm status): read

The hierarchical relation implies that the DP can be seen as input as well as output of the function.

5.2.2 SERVER RELATION

The DPs are supplied by the function. They are not attached to the tree structure of the function. Their
parents are components from the electric tree structure or the system tree structure (bay, module, physical
device). The function is charged to update the status/value and quality attributes of these DPs.
Examples:

• DP resulting from a logical or analogue mathematical formula which is implemented by an automation

• synthesis DP (for example a device position)
• commands received and treated by the automation
The function has the following rights on the real time attributes of its supplied DPs:

• status (SPS, DPS, MPS, SPC, DPC, SetPoint): read/write

• value (MV, Counter, TXT): read/write

• quality (all DP except SPC, DPC, SetPoint): read/write

• threshold value (MV, Counter): read

• alarm (global alarm status): read

5.2.3 CLIENT RELATION

The function is client of the DP. The DP is not attached to the tree structure of the function. Its parent is a
component from the electric tree structure or the system tree structure (bay, module, physical device).
The function reads and uses the status/value and quality attributes of the DP.

SCE/EN AP/D20 AP-73

Application DS Agile System Configuration Editor

If the type of the DP is SPC, DPC or SetPoint, the function can also send command requests. In this event,
the equipment that manages the DP acknowledges this request, executes the command and updates the
status and value attributes.
The command requests include parameters and quality modification. This is done in the same way
(acknowledge + attributes updates by the equipment that manages the DP). Thus, the DP is known as
controllable.
Examples:

• commands sent by an automation toward a device

• devices or bay state influencing the automation execution
• threshold modification request
• forcing, deletion, substitution request
• extended counter driving
The function has the following rights on the real time attributes of the DPs which the function is client of:

• status (SPS, DPS, MPS) read

• status (SPC, DPC, SetPoint): read/control

• value (MV, Counter, TXT): read

• quality (all DP except SPC, DPC, SetPoint): read/control

• threshold value (MV, Counter): read/control

• alarm (global alarm status): read

5.2.5 EQUIVALENCE OF SCE DATAPOINT IN ISAGRAF

The DataPoints are represented by variables inside the ISaGRAF projects. The type of these variables is
chosen according to the access type to the DataPoint.
The input DPs correspond to read-only variables of a structured type. These structures contain only the
DataPoint attribute usable inside the automations (see further).
Within the calculators ISaGRAF kernel, the output DPs are reached by C functions, using an ID. Therefore,
the DPs are projected in the ISaGRAF workbench by an integer which represents the address of the DP (its
ID). This integer is stored in the equivalences table. In an ISaGRAF project, this table contains some aliases:
a name and its value. Theses aliases must be used in the ISaGRAF programs to identify a variable. The

AP-74 SCE/EN AP/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Application

name of an equivalence is made with the name of the variable, plus the suffix ADR. The value of an
equivalence is the address of the DP. The final values are set during the compilation of PLC project. An
equivalence is added automatically when a datapoint is added from the SCE application. The input/output
DPs (read/write access) are represented as input as well as output the workbench.

<prefix>: optional free text given by the user in SCE

XX: incremented number fixed by the SCE

All “DP variables” have unique Ids stored in the equivalences table. The I/O symbols of the ISaGRAF
workbench must correspond to the configuration DPs of the SCE. They must be unique, easily recognisable
to facilitate the programming in the workbench but they must be short enough not to weigh down the
diagrams and the POUs texts either.
To give a name to the variables inside the ISaGRAF projects, consider that:

• The name must be unique

• ISaGRAF is not case sensitive
• The maximum length of name is 128 characters
• The first character must be a letter
• The following characters must be either a letter, a digit or an underscore
So the identifier of I/O symbols is made by concatenation of a prefix given by the user, a prefix automatically
given by the SCE (in, out, in_out) and an identifier number.
In the workbench, the user will have an alias made up of the short names of the bay, module and DataPoint
in the form bay_module_datapoint. The used short name language will be the one which is declared as
“automata language”, i.e. one of the 4 basic languages: English, French Spanish or German. Complete
identifier SCE appears in the data dictionary of the workbench inside the comment field. The dictionary is
provided through the menu Workbenches > ISaGRAF Edit and the icon Parchment.
The “DP variables” are located in different groups according to their type and relation to the function. These
groups are not created to prevent the user from adding variables to them.
In SCE, the address is stored as an attribute of the link between the function and the DP. This attribute is
updated during the fusion of the functions projects towards the PLC project and the equivalence table is
updated with the new values of the variables addresses.

5.2.7 KERNEL INTERFACE API

This part details API available to the system engineer while designing the ISaGRAF application to exchange
data and commands with the kernel. 2 mechanisms are used:
Direct access to the dictionary when DP is of type xPS, MV, Counter
Flow Role Description
At the cycle end, if an event has been received for the DP since the previous
Reading cycle, the new value is copied into the ISaGRAF variable. Only one event is
KernelISaGRAF
xPS/MV extracted for a given DP at each cycle; the execution starts when all DPs for
which an event has been received have been updated
The IEC1131 application writes in the DP structure. The ISaGRAF output hook
checks for variables that have changed during the cycle, and sends
Writing
ISaGRAFKernel corresponding messages to kernel. For MV: to avoid sending messages for very
xPS/MV
small changes in the value (lower than a deadband), some parameters are
associated by the SCE, and sent in isa.bin

Explicit call for functions from the ISaGRAF application to read or write a DP

• Receiving commands from outside (via kernel) for DP using the relation "User Function DP":
Functions group 1 Used when
Wait_Binary_Order ISaGRAF module must wait to the execution of an order on a SPC or a DPC
Wait_Digital_Order ISaGRAF module must wait to the execution of an order on a setpoint
PLC manages a datapoint feedback of an expected command (Wait_xxx_Order). It permits
Send_Ack_Order
to acknowledge the received order

• Sending commands to outside (via kernel) for DP using the relation "is client" or "manages":
Function group 2 Usable for which DP
• SPC, DPC
Send_Binary_Order
• Select part of an SBO on AO
AO datapoint and Setpoint
Send_Digital_Order
The select of SBO is done using Send_Binary_Order function
Send_Quality_Order Allows the FSS and relates to xPS, MV, COUNTER datapoints
Send_Threshold_Order MV whose ISaGRAfF wants to modify threshold(s)
Wait_Ack_Order ISaGRAF module must wait for the acknowledgement of one of its order (Send_xxx_order)

• Sending other datapoints to outside (via kernel):

Set_xPS, Set_MV and Set_LSP (Load Shedding Priority) are used by the ISaGRAF module to modify
all the attributes of, respectively, the xPS, MV, LSP, that it manages.
It allows transmitting the corresponding attributes to the computer that holds the runtime.
Set_xPS, Set_MV are for DP using the relation "User Function DP".
Set_LSP is for DP using the relation "is client" or "manages".

• Is_Connected_To is used to know if two nodes are connected.

5.2.8 PROTOTYPE AND USAGE OF DS AGILE FUNCTIONS FOR ISAGRAF

Caution:
All the functions described below must never be called in ISaGRAF SFC
transitions, but only in actions.

5.2.8.1 SEND_BINARY_ORDER
This function concerns the following DP used in ‘is client of’ or ‘manages’ relations:

• SPC, DPC
• Select part for SBO on SetPoint
This function allows the ISaGRAF automatic control application to send selection or execution commands to
equipment on the SBUS network.

Note:
If a command is transmitted over the station bus, i.e. if the command is processed in a BCU other than the BCU
running the ISaGRAF automation, its select and execute commands must have the same bypass condition.
If that is not the case, the command will not be executed.

The link between the automatic control application and the command configured in the SCE is provided by a
variable configured in ISaGRAF workshop. This variable must be one of the following DS Agile types: SPC,
DPC or RAISE_LOWER and have a user address which must be entered in the Ref_DP field.

Note:
The user address therefore defines the ISaGRAF variable to be used and consequently the usual SCE variable, to
which the command relates. However, the order variable can be anything. The user is not obliged to give the name of
the ISaGRAF variable corresponding to Ref_DP. It will be sufficient to read the report back from the function.

Return code:
The returned value is FALSE when no order is received for this DP. When an order is received by the kernel,
the return code is TRUE for the first call after the order receipt. The order is then un-stacked from the kernel,

It’s possible to have several Wait_Ack_Order (maximum 10) in the same step, under the condition to get
back the return value in an intermediary variable. Once the acknowledgement is returned, the reference of
the control is suppressed and doesn’t exist any more, so every new call of this function sends the FALSE
return value.

• Break “ … “
Do not use the underscore character, “ _ ”, in the names of functions and variables, as this may cause
databag generation issues.

5.4 WACU REDUNDANCY WITH ISAGRAF

5.4.1 SWITCH AUTOMATION FOR REDUNDANCY

The application designer must write a call for each protocol instance to monitor. S/he must declare a variable
vState for each instance. First, s/he must import the redundancy_protocol.txt file onto the ISaGRAF
workbench.
Creating the variable vStateProtocole2, based on TProtocolState type in the ISaGRAF database and writing:
Retour := protocolGetState(2,vStateProtocole2);
in an ISaGRAF Program Operating Unit (POU) is sufficient to see CommSt and RedSt of each WACU for the
concerned protocol (refer to the chapter GTW/EN AP).
The ISaGRAF WACUs are not switched by the system. The application designer must invoke
redundancy_switch() to have active ISaGRAF on the WACU on which the protocol is active.

SCE/EN AP/D20 AP-91

Application DS Agile System Configuration Editor

For instance, to switch the WACU if protocol 2 is active on the standby WACU, the code might be as follows:
Retour_state := Redundancy_get_state(RdnGeneralState);

retour := protocol_get_state(0, VProtocolState_0);

retour := Protocol_get_state(1, VProtocolState_1);
retour := protocol_get_state(2, VProtocolState_2);
retour := protocol_get_state(3, VProtocolState_3);
retour := protocol_get_state(4, VProtocolState_4);
retour := protocol_get_state(5, VProtocolState_5);

if (((RdnGeneralState.UNIT_NB =1) AND (RdnGeneralState.PRIMARY_GTW_STATE =

1)) OR ((RdnGeneralState.SECONDARY_GTW_STATE = 1) AND
(RdnGeneralState.UNIT_NB =2))) then
if vProtocolState_0.Valid_local = TRUE then
if vProtocolState_0.Valid_remote = TRUE then
if (vProtocolState_0.RedSt_local = FALSE) AND
(vProtocolState_0.CommSt_remote = TRUE) AND
(vProtocolState_0.RedSt_remote = TRUE) THEN
retour := redundancy_switch();
end_if;
end_if;
end_if;
end_if;

Redundant WACU configuration check

The user must have loaded the same configuration database on both WACUs (the check is executed at
WACU start-up).

Caution:
If the two WACU configuration databases are not identical, synchronization
is not possible. In this case, both WACUs stay in IDLE state (MASTER IDLE
state & STAND-BY IDLE state) so switch-over is not possible.

AP-92 SCE/EN AP/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Application

5.4.2 ISAGRAF PROGRAMMATION BEST PRACTICES

The following best practices are given for programs implementing User Functions dedicated to using WACU
redundancy features.

5.4.2.1 SEND_BINARY_ORDER AND SEND_DIGITAL_ORDER COMMANDS

• Execute “redundancy_get_state(RdnGeneralState)” function at the program beginning

“RdnGeneralState” is a variable incorporating “TrdnGeneralState” structure

• Check the WACU and, to send the command, state:

 IF unit_nb = 1 (primary) AND primary_gtw_state = 1 (Master or Active) AND primary_validity = 1
(valid) THEN the command can be sent
 IF unit_nb = 2 (secondary) AND secondary_gtw_state = 1 (Master or Active) AND
secondary_validity = 1 (valid) THEN the command can be sent

5.4.2.2 REDUNDANCY_SWITCH COMMAND TO SWITCH A GATEWAY TO STANDBY

• Execute “redundancy_get_state(RdnGeneralState)” function at the program beginning

• Check the WACU and, to send the command, state:
 IF unit_nb = 1 (primary) AND primary_gtw_state = 1 (Master or Active) AND primary_
complementary_validity = 1 (operational) THEN the command can be sent
 IF unit_nb = 2 (secondary) AND secondary_gtw_state = 1 (Master or Active) AND
secondary_complementary_validity = 1 (operational) THEN the command can be sent

5.4.2.3 CONNECTION TO BOTH WACUS

In order to monitor both WACU applications at the same time, the user has to:
Generate ISaGRAF project on one PC.
Then copy the “prjlibrary.mdb” on another PC (equipped with ISaGRAF workbench in the same release).
Then it is possible to open each project at the same time on both PC and connect one to the primary WACU
and the other to the secondary WACU.

Ensure that the project is closed before copying the project.

5.5 DEFINING AN ISAGRAF SLOW AUTOMATION

The core of the slow automation modelling is a ‘Slow automation’ object that corresponds to an ISaGRAF
project. Slow automation can own datapoints for status, control of automation itself (automation
management); for instance, a load shedding automation can have a control to put it in/out of service and a
relevant status.
They also reference via links datapoints located in system or electrical topologies. There are two types of
link:

• ‘client’ link, that means that the slow automation uses the datapoint that is acquired or managed
outside the ISaGRAF automation. For instance, the load shedding automation can be client of some
‘circuit-breaker status’ input datapoints and some ‘circuit-breaker control’ output datapoints.

• ‘server’ link, that means that the slow automation produces or manages the datapoint. For instance, a
slow automation can be used to produce the sum of feeder measurements. This sum is also a
measurement at voltage level for ex.
To define a slow automation, do the steps that follow:

SCE/EN AP/D20 AP-93

Application DS Agile System Configuration Editor

1. define the slow automation interface:

 create the slow automation ‘header’
 if required, create the datapoints at slow automation level, used for the function management
 create the client links for the slow automation
 create the server links for the slow automation
2. define the slow automation body launching from the SCE the ISaGRAF editor (contextual menu on the
slow automation interface object) and using available languages and previously client/server defined links
3. establish the effective client/server links entering to existing datapoints.

5.5.1 CREATING AN ISAGRAF SLOW AUTOMATION (HEADER DEFINITION)

To add an ISaGRAF slow automation, tap into the “Objects entry” window at any level of the electrical
topology (except Site and module): select ‘Slow automation’ and right click Add.

Figure 16: Adding Datapoints to a Slow Automation

A slow automation datapoint is integrally produced or managed by the slow automation and subsequently by
ISaGRAF. It cannot be linked to another acquisition or control source and the ISaGRAF project must
update/run its value changes or controls.
Slow automation input datapoints are stored in a WACU computer's or Bay controller's non-volatile memory
to restart on their latest known values in the event of a reboot.

5.5.3 CREATING AN ISAGRAF CLIENT LINK (INTERFACE DEFINITION)

To add an ISaGRAF client at the slow automation level, right-click a ‘is client of’ relation in the Objects entry
contextual window and select Add (alternative: double-click the relation):
Choose the correct relation depending on the type of datapoint to use.

1 SCOPE OF THE DOCUMENT

This document describes all User Interface or Human Machine Interface of the SCE engineering tool.

1.1 USING DS AGILE SCE

The DS Agile System Configuration Editor is a tool that:

• Helps in definition/edition of all system data with its equipment.

• Generates each of DS Agile sub-system database.
The data definition is done by experts through templates or models of data. These templates are then
stored and delivered in DS Agile SCE libraries.
The models can then be loaded and instantiated as a clever kind of duplication to create object data
customised to the application case.
In addition, the user can make changes to the object database.
When all relevant data is defined, the DS Agile SCE generates a coherent set of databases, named system
databag, which can be loaded into each sub-system by DS Agile SMT, the DS Agile maintenance tools.

Note:
aView exception: For it to be compatible with aView, the database must first be customised using the dedicated tools
DS Agile Blend and Mimics Designer. The process is described in the manuals covering these applications.

DS Agile SCE can export/import XML files to/from external tools and generate reports.

SCE/EN HI/D20 HI-5

Human Interface DS Agile System Configuration Editor

Figure 1: DS Agile SCE data flow

1.1.1 DS AGILE SCE USERS

This brief definition of DS Agile SCE using shows several kind of user:

• Expert template developers who maintain a set of libraries adapted to specified equipment, a protocol
mapping, a graphical representation, or an electric automation…

• Prototypes engineers who should build quickly the draft of a specific substation with its devices, its
main functionality and graphic views, in order to evaluate implementation solutions.

• Configuration engineers, who customise, detail and update all structured data of a specified
application case, and generate the databases downloaded to the system devices.

• Maintenance technicians who need to modify or adjust parameters prior of new database download.
Such categories is only an outline of DS Agile SCE users since several of its tools thanks to specific editors,
or report managers, can provide the records needed by other tasks: commissioning cubicle, mapping
extraction, …
Because of these different users, DS Agile SCE has several “levels” in its HMI interface. This manual
describes all of them whatever could be option or license limitations.
The projection of these user categories on DS Agile SCE is not implemented.

HI-6 SCE/EN HI/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Human Interface

1.1.2 DEVICES HANDLED BY DS AGILE SCE

DS Agile is designed to generate a database for DS Agile devices:

• DS Agile aView/OI, the system HMI

• DS Agile SMT, the System Management Tool that downloads Databases
• DS Agile Gateway, the separate Gateway or Tele-control Interface to SCADA
• DS Agile C26x control unit
To generate any equipment database, the DS Agile SCE manages:

• Inner data of the device itself (structure and parameters values)

• Exchange data of the device with other system devices
• Exchange data of the device with non system devices
With the 3rd case, the DS Agile SCE manages the communication with all non-DS Agile devices with
typically IED or protection devices on Legacy BUS or system network bus. It is only by the configuration of
communication mapping that DS Agile SCE can handle non-DS Agile devices. DS Agile SCE does not
generate databases or settings for these non-DS Agile devices.

1.1.3 DS AGILE SCE COMPONENTS

Like most configuration tools, the DS Agile SCE is composed of two main software parts with:

• HMI (Human Machine Interface) of DS Agile SCE and associate tools

• Data Model that includes association rules, attributes range, and generators.
The aim of this part is the description of Human Machine interfaces. For a full description of the data model
and its use, refer to chapters Application of each DS Agile device. Nevertheless, a good understanding of
the user interface needs at least the few notions expressed below.

SCE/EN HI/D20 HI-7

Human Interface DS Agile System Configuration Editor

1.1.4 DS AGILE SCE DATA HIERARCHY

First of all, Data Model defines structure and structured data. Any piece of information belongs to a
hierarchy of information often referenced from browsing point of view as a tree. This abstraction of data is
named object.
In DS Agile SCE all data belong to only one of the three following tree structures:

• Electric process.
• System (device characteristics and communication).
• Graphic definition of Operator Interface with Archives, Graphic, Printing…

Figure 2: DS Agile SCE Data Hierarchy

In the other hand, the piece of information is structured data, with list of attributes. For example, C26x
object has a set of configurable attributes like TCP/IP address or network name.

HI-8 SCE/EN HI/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Human Interface

Figure 3: Attributes of a C26x

1.1.5 DS AGILE SCE TEMPLATE & OBJECT

All data are defined in data model structure. In DS Agile SCE, this notion is fully exploited with the possibility
for a user to create models called templates. Models are duplicated and modified for concrete cases called
Object database. This last one is used to generate all DS Agile devices databags.
DS Agile SCE is then composed of two parts:

• template part,
• object part.
The template part is a list of separate models used or not. A model has its own hierarchy data, with
process, system and/or graphic data.

Figure 4: Object Model / Template

The template is used as a model to create new data in object part. The data which come from a template
are linked to this template. When template is modified, these modifications are propagated to all its linked
objects.

At any moment, user can switch between Template and Object parts using the icon .
Current mode Template or Object is always displayed (right of state Bar).
Access to Template functions is only possible for Level 3 and 4 users.

SCE/EN HI/D20 HI-9

Human Interface DS Agile System Configuration Editor

1.1.6 DATABASE CREATION PROCESS

To create the database downloaded to system devices, the common way is to:
1 Import a template from an external library into current database (in its template area)
2 Customise the template if needed in database template area
3 Instantiate the template from template to Object part of the database
4 Modify predefined attribute(s) known as Degree Of Freedom, for example the name.
5 Generate devices databases

It is recommended to work as much as possible with template and to keep the link between template and
instantiated object. Nevertheless, this relation can be broken for deep object modifications. This broken link
operation should remain an exception.
During all this creation process, the DS Agile SCE makes control in data consistency with its “Data Model”.
The checks are made with templates and objects. They are done on:

• Attribute input
• Relation creation
• Generation

Note:
Use of templates is not mandatory. A database could be configured with no template, directly with objects.

2.4.1 WINDOWING
The DS Agile SCE application follows windowing behaviour. As presented before it has all options to set as
an icon, maximise/minimise, or close/exit.
Each internal window (included tool bar) is managed with the following dock/float window features:

• dock window anywhere,

• window can be fixed in the screen,
• change dock/float states by double clicking,
• window can be either attached to or detached from the tabbed components,
• save and load dock/float states when user exits and enters in the DS Agile SCE Application.
When window is minimised it can be resized by its border or corner, and displaced by dragging of title bar.
This behaviour is also down with sub windows.

2.4.2 TOOLTIP
When mouse pointer remains on tool bar icon or menu, a tool tip appears with a short message explaining
the function.

3.2.1 DOCKING WINDOW MANAGEMENT

The main working area uses a display principle called docking. It is made for flexible management of
several sub-areas

• inserted with dependency in the docking window or

• in a separate window.

HI-26 SCE/EN HI/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Human Interface

A docked area supports any kind of editor: tree browser, list, graphic, As window sub-object, area can be
resized by its edge, moved by its title bar, or closed by the cross on upper right corner.
When the docked area is a separate window, it is handled like any window and can be dragged to separate
screen display (when PC has multiple screens), or on extended virtual desktop part. The separated window
remains over its parent DS Agile SCE application window, like a more known pop-up. This window can not
be set in icon.
When the docked area remains in dock window, its size is adjusted to other docked area and especially a
main docked area. The main docked area is selected in the Window Menu. It is proposed the object/template
navigator perspective or the graphical area perspective which supports all graphical editors. All other
docked areas are automatically adjusted from this first area.
An area could be pinned or not: if it is pinned, its view is permanent, if it is not pinned; the area is displayed
only when the mouse points on it.
An area could be attached to or detached from the tabbed components: several areas are displayed on the
same window, the user works on each area through its tab button.

3.2.2 SELECTING DISPLAYED AREAS IN WORKING WINDOW

The menu bar in sub menu Windows helps to select or deselect the areas seen in working window area.
When an item is clicked, a tilde appears before all activated area. Another click deselects the given area
from the working window area.

SCE/EN HI/D20 HI-27

Figure 23: Available areas

Area unselecting can be done also by a click on its cross on upper right corner, except for the main area
(navigator or graphic editor).

3.2.3 MOVING/PLACING AREAS INTO WORKING WINDOW AREA

The size of the DS Agile SCE application determines the size of its inner docking windows.
Most of the time, DS Agile SCE window is maximised. When new docking areas are added by menu bar,
they are displayed as “docked”, in the docking window, at default location. Then all docked areas are
resized.
Working with DS Agile SCE, a user may need to:

• resize docked area or

• modify docked position relatively one to others.
To resize docked area without changing disposition of areas, a mouse click on border or edge allows a
resizing of this area in horizontal or vertical direction. As docking window size is then fixed, other docked
areas are then resized in same directions.
To modify the area disposition or how they are placed relatively one to the other, the user has to click on
one area header. Since a rectangle appears. While still right mouse pressed, the rectangle representing area
can be dragged. This control rectangle can change in shape or colour.
If mouse pointer is released when control rectangle is still blue, the moved area while be dropped in docking
window. If the key is release when rectangle is grey, the moved area becomes a moveable window out of
dock window and DS Agile SCE main window.
If control rectangle is blue and dragged to the boundary of docked area it changes its shape. New shape is
still rectangle but different sizing, square, flat vertical or flat horizontal. The new shape in blue is a “proposal”
new positioning of the moved area into the docking window, relatively to other docked areas. A key release
drops then the moved area in new relative position in docking window.
It is possible at any moment to get back the default configuration of windows by select Reset Perspective
item in Window menu.

SCE/EN HI/D20 HI-29

Human Interface DS Agile System Configuration Editor

3.3 NAVIGATOR
It is the main window to select template/object. It is the central area in docking window management (like
also graphic area) when the Navigator Perspective (Windows menu) has been chosen. This area should
not then become a stand-alone window.

Figure 24: Object view in Navigator perspective

In any case the main interest is on the selected object (here the object Substation is in grey background).
All other docked area refers to this object.
The navigator has a panel at its top to browse into the list of the last visited objects.
There are seven buttons which have the following functions:
Favourite: reaches to the favourite object, if it is defined. The combo list allows to visualise the path of the
favourite object and to set a new one
Back: reaches to the previous selected object, if it is defined. The combo list allows to visualise the complete
list of the previous visited objects and to select one of them
Forward: reaches to the next selected object, if it is defined. The combo list allows to visualise the complete
list of the next visited objects and to select one of them
Collapse sub tree: collapses the current selected object and all components of this object. Allow to free
memory used by its components
Sort: sorts all short names of the children components of the selected object with alphabetic order

This button is used to toggle the last sub-trees that have been viewed.
Click this button to display the following submenu:

1st box used to show (when selected) / hide (when unselected) the complete relations
2nd box used to show (when selected) / hide (when unselected) uncompleted relations
3rd box used to show (when selected) / hide (when unselected) the spare objects or spare templates

HI-30 SCE/EN HI/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Human Interface

These buttons are used in all tree representations of DS Agile SCE; with the same behaviour. This behaviour
is not re-defined elsewhere in this document.
The navigator is a standard tree viewer allowing with + and – to expand, reduce browsing of object
components.
Icon indicates properties of objects.
They are different in template or object mode.
Icons Database Properties
Template Main Electric Parent
Template Main System Parent
Template Main Graphic Parent
Both Configurable component
Both Folder or Binder
Both Template Anchor (Parameter)

Both Template Instance Anchor (Parameter)

Both Template root

Both Complete or Full Filled Relation
Both Incomplete Relation
Both Complete and Fixed Relation

Relation representation is defined using toggle buttons, and . These buttons allows to filter or to
display relations on navigator.
A double click on an object expands it.
In navigator and content window, the labels of Spare objects are greyed and italic. For sparing an object, set
the Object attribute spare to Yes.

3.4 COMPONENTS LIST

Figure 25: Components List Viewer

The components list gives the same sub-object that navigator expands. But it provides two other columns
with the object type, and object description.
Sorting can be made by Name, Type or Description by clicking on header.

SCE/EN HI/D20 HI-31

Human Interface DS Agile System Configuration Editor

Relations, content drawings are the same that navigator, with same visibility rules. The behaviour of mouse
operation is the same. A click on an object changes focus. A double click on a relation opens the Relation
link editor dialog box..

Figure 26: Relation link editor

3.5 ATTRIBUTES LIST EDITOR OF OBJECT/TEMPLATE

Attributes are displayed in the editor as a table. Attributes are organised in categories (different tables with
tabs) and sub-categories (different separators within a table).

Figure 27: Attributes list editor

Relation attributes are displayed as normal attributes in a tab Relation. The path of linked object is also
displayed as an attribute in a category Relation. If the relation is filled (i.e. the link is defined), the attributes
of linked object are also displayed and editable while the relation edition. This allows minimizing the
navigation between objects.

HI-32 SCE/EN HI/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Human Interface

Figure 28: Relation attributes list editor

If the relation is filled (i.e. the link is defined), the attributes of linked object are also displayed and editable
while the relation edition. This allows minimizing the navigation between objects.

Figure 29: Relation attributes of a linked object

Attribute value modification is done by selecting a value in a list, or by double-clicking in the field to edit.

SCE/EN HI/D20 HI-33

Human Interface DS Agile System Configuration Editor

The value representation is different for:

• Attribute not linked to a template:

 Read/write: white,
 Read-only: greyed.

• Attribute linked to a template:

 Read/write: white, its short name font colour is blue in the template mode,
 Read-only: greyed.
Parameters are displayed as attributes in the Parameter category.

Figure 30: Parameters list editor

The contextual menus, available with a right click, are:

• Cut: initiate the Cut action

• Copy: initiate the Copy action
• Paste: initiate the Paste action
• View linked attributes

3.6 DATABASE ENTRIES

The Database entry is composed of three areas whose purposes are different in the cases listed below.

3.6.1 TEMPLATES LIST

The Templates list contains all templates that are in the opened database(s).
The main database is the first opened database. It can be opened in update mode (work version) or read-
only mode (referenced version).

Figure 31: Template list area

The second database is the 2nd opened database. It is mandatory opened in read-only mode. The System
allows opening the 2nd database only if the main one is opened in update mode.

HI-34 SCE/EN HI/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Human Interface

Figure 32: Template list area with a second opened database

These templates are split in two tabbed panes, one for main database, and other for second database. If
only main database is opened, the second tabbed pane is not visible. The tabbed panes have a ToolTip
which give the name of opened database.
The Templates list and Templates entry are defined as a flat list of templates. The list root is specialised for
the Templates Lists and the Templates entry (contains the type of the object/template selected in the
Navigator).
The list is organised as follows:

• Electrical, then System, then Graphical templates.

• Alphabetical order on Anchor template type.
• Alphabetical order on Anchor template short name.
The list root ToolTip contains the name of the corresponding database (main database in Main Template
List, second database in Second Template List).
This area is used to:

• Select a template to edit, in template mode,

• Transfer a template from 2nd database to the main one: the template must be selected from 2nd
database templates list. On this template a contextual menu Add allows to copy this template to the
main one. The template is added into main database templates list.

3.6.2 TEMPLATES ENTRY

The Templates entry contains the templates that can be added as a child of the selected element in the
Navigator. It is therefore a contextual area.
A contextual menu item allows to add the current template under the current selected object from the
navigator. Hereafter, an example of a templates entry area.

SCE/EN HI/D20 HI-35

Human Interface DS Agile System Configuration Editor

Figure 33: Template entry area

It represents all templates which can be added under a voltage level. This voltage level is the selected object
in the Navigator view.

3.6.3 OBJECTS ENTRY

The Objects entry contains the types (objects/templates and relations) that can be added as a child of the
selected element in the Navigator. It is therefore a contextual area. These types are displayed as a tree, and
organised with abstract types.
A contextual menu item allows to create an object with the selected type under the current selected object
from the navigator.
Hereafter, an example of an objects entry area for a voltage level object represents all objects which can be
added under a voltage level. This voltage level is the selected object in the Navigator view.

Figure 34: Object entry area

HI-36 SCE/EN HI/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Human Interface

3.7 GRAPHIC AREA

This graphic area is represented by a moveable window.

It is the central area in docking window management (like also Navigator) when Graphic Perspective
(Windows menu) has been chosen.
It can receive various editors in according to the selected object in the Navigator and the selected attribute
in the attributes editor.

• As all objects, the graphic objects can be manipulated from the Navigator. Nevertheless, the graphic
editor is helpful to create graphic objects, by showing a graphical representation of the objects.
Currently, the available editors are:

• OI Mimic Editor: to build the OI Mimics used by the operator interface,

• Computer mimic Editor: to build the Computer mimics used by the DS Agile C26x's front panel HMI.
• Bitmap Editor: to build the bitmaps also used by the DS Agile C26x's front panel HMI.
• A complete description of these editors is given in section 4.4 Graphic menu.

SCE/EN HI/D20 HI-37

Human Interface DS Agile System Configuration Editor

4 DS AGILE SCE MENU COMMAND

All DS Agile SCE actions are available through the menu bar items and/or contextual menu items.
The availability of these items is context-dependent. For example, Edit/Paste is enabled if an object has
been cut/copy before and a potential parent object has been selected in navigator. These conditions are
described for each action.

4.1 FILE MENU

Figure 35: File Menu

A database is either a configuration database or a library database. A configuration database contains

templates and a configuration which uses these templates. A library contains only templates.
Database could have some different storing format:

• a compressed file: the database is a compressed file that contains all files of the database.
• a sub tree directory: the database is a directory and its files sub tree.
The storing format of a database is indicated by its file/directory extension. e.g.:

• .mpc: database configuration file

• .mpl: database library file
• .dpc: database configuration directory
• .dpl: database library directory
Each database is composed of several versions: a working version and some referenced versions. The
working version can be updated (read and write), whereas referenced versions are frozen (read only). A
Check In mechanism is used to reference the working version: it becomes a referenced version. A Check
Out mechanism is used to transfer a referenced version to the working version.

HI-38 SCE/EN HI/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Human Interface

No more than two databases can be opened simultaneously in the DS Agile SCE:

• The first opened database is the main database. It can be the working version (opened in update
mode) or a referenced version (opened in read-only mode).

• The second opened database is the second database. It can be opened only if the main database is
the working version. It can be the working version or a referenced version (both opened in read-only
mode). This second database is only used to transfer template from a database to the main database.
This second database could be a configuration database or a library database. In both case, only the
template part of this database is used to transfer some template from second database to the main
database.
The item of menu file applies only to the main database, except the Open and Close actions that may also
apply to the second database:

Figure 36: Main / second databases

The naming rule of database is the following:

Referenced version is a file/directory with indices: v.r[.m]. e.g.:
databaseName.1.1.3.mpc
indices range is 0..99,
third index (m) is optional and is used for partial generation use case.
database name contains any alphabetic or numeric character or “_” or “-“. Blank character is forbidden. This
rule must be applied for database path also.

SCE/EN HI/D20 HI-39

Human Interface DS Agile System Configuration Editor

Work version of the configuration has no indices.

databaseName.mpc

4.1.1 FILE/NEW…
Purpose:

• Create a new working library(.mpl, .dpl) or configuration database (.mpc, .dpc)

Availability:

• No database loaded, or no working database.

Other call:

• Shortcut: Ctrl+N

• Toolbar
Operating:

• The action is available from start-up or if all loaded database have been closed. After this new action it
is possible to open second database to pick-up data/templates.

4.1.1.1 CREATE A NEW DS AGILE CONFIGURATION.

• Before creation, the default application type DS Agile must be set. Then the present HMI is kept: a
file chooser appears.

Figure 37: File/New database

1 Browse the drive and directories selections to define where to store new file or directory
2 Enter a name for the New database in “File Name” area
3 Select the kind of database in “File Type” area with: mpc for configuration, or mpl for library
4 Validate by clicking New or enter in “file name” area

HI-40 SCE/EN HI/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Human Interface

A first working file or directory is created. An empty working database is available under DS Agile SCE
interface.
With previous naming rules, the name is free, but a good practice is to put DS Agile SCE software
version at the beginning.
Example: 04_71_myDb.mpc
Path of database must contain only alphabetic or numeric character or “_” character or “-“ character.
If the given name is wrong a warning message is displayed:

Figure 38: Wrong file name format

4.1.1.2 CREATE A NEW C26X-STANDALONE CONFIGURATION.

A C26x-Standalone can be now configured with SCE. C26x-Standalone application type must be used.
When you use the SCE to create a configuration Standalone, the SCE hide automatically some actions,
functions and data of DS Agile.
The application type C26x-Standalone allows you to:

• In the electric part :

 create only generic and transformer bays or modules,
 create FBD and slow automations

• In the system part :

 create only one C26x controller,
 create all boards except for TMU2xx,
 create SCADA protocols (Modbus, T101, T104, HNZ),
 create legacy networks with protocols (Modbus, T101, T103, T104)
In the graphic part :
 create controller workspaces with bay mimics,
 use the bitmap table.
Use of File/New. When default application type is Standalone, a creation wizard appears and helps user
to create this new database: from scratch or from S9R file.

4.1.2 FILE/OPEN…
Purpose:

• Open an existing library/configuration database as main or second database. If no database already

opens, it opens a main working database. If a work database is already opened, a second database is
opened in read only, for copy of object to the working database.
Availability:

• Only two databases can be opened simultaneously

Other call:

• Shortcut: Ctrl+O

• Toolbar

HI-42 SCE/EN HI/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Human Interface

Operating:

• The action is available from start-up, or when a main database is already defined. A pops up appears
for selecting the database.

Figure 39: File/Open database

1 Browse directories to select the file to load with drive selection and directories
2 Select a filter with the kind of database in “File Type” area with: mpc for configuration, or mpl for library
3 Click on file name or enter the name of the database to load in “File Name” area
4 Check comments in write panel
5 Validate the selected file by clicking Open

The database is opened in a temporary directory (.mpx). By default, this temporary directory is an
uncompressed copy of database that is created under the directory where the database is stored.
This directory where this temporary directory is created could be set explicitly via two DS Agile SCE settings
(tools/option).
The temporary directory could be directly the directory of database. This option is set by a DS Agile SCE
setting (tools/option) and is available for directory database format (.dpc, .dpl) only.
The read/write mode is displayed in title bar.

SCE/EN HI/D20 HI-43

Human Interface DS Agile System Configuration Editor

When DS Agile SCE reads the open database, it checks with which DS Agile SCE version it has been
saved. If the DS Agile SCE version was older, then some upgrades can be necessary: for example, adding
a new attribute to an object, modifying the cardinality of an object, etc. In this case, the following dialog box
is displayed:

Figure 40: File/open with database conversion

If answer is “Yes”, then database is automatically upgraded to the new DS Agile SCE data model. This
upgrading is available only for a working version.
The upgrading process could be more complex, especially when new structure of databases is incompatible
with the structure of database to open. In this case, the database must be saved with a special command:
“prepare upgrade & save”. Then opening this kind of database is available.

4.1.2.1 OPEN A DATABASE WITHOUT APPLICATION TYPE

When user opens a database from an old version which hasn’t application type, the SCE determine
automatically which application type has to be used.i.e (DS Agile or C26x-Standalone)
The two application types are computed by searching specific objects in database, with following rules:

• If database contain only one computer without IEC mapping in object part, and no IEC mapping in
template part the application type is set to C26x-Standalone.

• If database is not C26x-Standalone, it is DS Agile.

4.1.3 FILE/CLOSE
Purpose:

• Close opened library/configuration database as main or second database.

Availability:

• when a database has been opened.

Other call:

• Main window close button

HI-44 SCE/EN HI/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Human Interface

Operating:

• The name of the database is already defined from Open/New. If main database is a working database
and some modifications have been done, it asks to Save the database:

Figure 41: File/Close Asking for save work database

• If a second database is opened, it’s closed and the working database is still opened.

4.1.4 FILE/SAVE
Purpose:

• Save the working opened library/configuration database. Second database can not be modified and
does not need a save action.
Availability:

• Only the working version of a database (read/write) can be saved

Other call:

• Shortcut: Ctrl+S
• Toolbar
• Main window close button if database has been modified
Operating:

• Only the working version of a database (read/write) can be saved

4.1.5 FILE/SAVE FOR MANDATORY UPGRADE

Purpose:

• Save the main opened library/configuration database and put into the database file an xml form of the
database. This xml form could be used during opening operation if the structure of the data model has
been changed (see File/ Open)
Availability:

• Only the working version of a database (read/write) can be saved with this option
Other call:

• None
Operating:

• An xml backup of the database is done. This xml backup is stored in .mpc file.

SCE/EN HI/D20 HI-45

Human Interface DS Agile System Configuration Editor

4.1.6 FILE/CLEAN & SAVE

Purpose:

• Compact the main opened library/configuration database and save it. The compaction consists to
delete the space not used in database file: when an object is deleted, its space is not freed.
Availability:

• Only the working version of a database (read/write) can be cleaned and saved.
Other call:

• None
Operating:

• An xml backup of the database is done. This xml backup is stored in .mpc file.

4.1.7 FILE/CREATE A COPY

Purpose:

• Copy the main library/configuration database into a new database.

Availability:

• Always
Other call:

• None
Operating:

• The action starts a pop-up to enter new file name where is stored the copy and eventually modify the
store format of the database (.mpc <> .dpc or .mpl <> .dpl):

Figure 42: Copy file chooser

HI-46 SCE/EN HI/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Human Interface

• The current database remains the same and needs to be saved later if modifications have been done.
To switch to the database copy, it is needed to save and close the main database, then open the
copied database.

4.1.8 FILE/CHECK IN…

Purpose:

• Save the current working database (template or configuration) in a referenced file version. The
working database is not saved but only copied. The “check in” file is named like work database with
increment of database version. Check in file is then read only from DS Agile SCE until a check out.

Figure 43: Check in / check out mechanism

Availability:

• Only with working version of a database

Other call:

• None

Human Interface DS Agile System Configuration Editor

Operating:

Figure 44: File/Check In working database

1 Select new reference identifier

2 Write comments
3 Confirm check-in by clicking OK

A pop-up window asks for identifier increment with major or minor evolution. DS Agile SCE computes
directly the proposed identifier from current one. In example it starts from 0.0. If current identifier is 3.5 it
proposes 3.5.0, 3.6, and 4.0. This reference is added to the file name.
A field text area allows to precise the content or the modification of the version. This comment is stored in
the database file. It is possible at any moment to read it with File/Properties.
A good practice is to keep reference 0.x for development, and 1.x, 2.x for major steps of project life:
prototype, Factory version, site version… Major index modification can be also a consequence of
DS Agile SCE software evolution.
Three indices versions (for example 3.5.1) are used for partial generation of database: only a subset of
devices are taken into account during device configuration files process (file/generate).
The loaded database is still the working database.
‘Check in’ does not mean Check: a referenced version (with a check in) is not mandatory a full consistent
database (test done with Check operation). An inconsistent database can be referenced but a warning
message is then displayed. During opening operation, if the working version does not come from the latest
referenced version of database, the following warning dialog box is displayed:

4.1.10 FILE/CHECK
Purpose:

• Check the main library/configuration database consistency. The action starts testing on whole
database. The templates and the spared objects are not taken into account by the check function. The
complete definition of errors/warnings is available in chapter SCE/EN MF.
All errors/warnings are displayed in the following table of the Trace panel ("Checks" tab):

Figure 48: Error / Warning check table

Table rows:
Each row corresponds to one check operation whose result is an error or a warning.

HI-50 SCE/EN HI/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Human Interface

Table columns:

• Level: it displays an icon for error or warning.

• Type: it contains the identifier of the check operation displayed in the row.
Example: "DataObjectPhases" is a check consisting in verifying that all the phases under a GenWYE
or GenDELTA DataObject, is linked, through the "has for IEC61850 address" relation, to distinct
Datapoints.

• Reference: for each check operation, an object implicated in the check operation, is considered as the
main object. The column displays the path of this object. If the user activates the "Reach" action on
the row, this object is retrieved in the DS Agile SCE navigator and selected. This action is also
available with double-click.

• Message: it displays a message explaining the error/warning for the check operation.
• First column: the user can check On/Off this column to remember which error/warning he tried to
correct.
The panel of the Table contains also the following buttons:

• Errors filter toggle: if this button is selected, the Error traces are not displayed (they are filtered). Else
they are.

• Warnings filter toggle: if this button is selected, the Warning traces are not displayed (they are
filtered). Else they are.

• Info filter toggle: if this button is selected, the Info traces are not displayed (they are filtered). Else
they are.

• Checked traces filter toggle: if this button is selected, the Checked traces are not displayed (they are
filtered). Else they are.
Availability:

• For referenced or working version of a database

Other call:

• Shortcut: F6
Operating:
1 Before the beginning of the check, DS Agile SCE clears the Check Traces tab, displays it and
displays a waiting popup
2 During the check computing, DS Agile SCE displays the found errors or warnings in the Check Traces
tab. The number of errors and warning are updated at the top of Check Traces tab
3 After the check, the content of the Check Traces tab is saved in the check.txt file in the folder of the
configuration. This file is a text file. It can be displayed in Microsoft Excel with the file type: Text
(separator: tabulation), or in any text editor.
4 DS Agile SCE notifies that the Configuration Database is modified and has to be saved (check.txt file
and Configuration settings are to be saved).

4.1.11 FILE/GENERATE…
Purpose:
Generate from DS Agile SCE current database the equipment database to load into system devices. This
equipment database is a Zip file which is used by the SMT (System Management Tool). It’s called System

SCE/EN HI/D20 HI-51

Human Interface DS Agile System Configuration Editor

Data Bag (*.sdb). There is no software interface between SMT and DS Agile SCE. The exchanges are
done manually with files.
This System Data Bag contains all device configuration files which are named Application Data Bags
(*.adb). There’s an Application Data Bag for each equipment configuration to be generated. For each
equipment, there’s also a Maintenance Data Model (*.dm) for SMT to access the equipment through the
Station Bus.
For the simulation application (equipment simulator and process simulator), the application databags are
directly the configuration files of the simulators: .xml for the equipment simulator, .zip for the process
simulator.
SCE generates the setting file (setting.xml) taking into account the protection functions defined in the
configuration. Only the settings corresponding to functions defined in the configuration are generated in the
file.
The XmlSetBuilder in SCE converts this file to a DS Agile S1 readable file.
XmlSetBuilder uses the model.xml file that describes all the parameters of the DS Agile C26x. The format of
this file is described in the PIDD setting .The PIDD setting defines the rules of visibility for parameter. This
document permits SCE to apply those rules.
SCE will generate a databag that contains:

• DS Agile C26x configuration file,

• DS Agile C26x.set file
• DS Agile C26x client.dm files
In the case of protective function, in the SCE, all thresholds are disabled by default and can be modified only
by DS Agile S1 (They are not present in the DB).
In the case of built-in and automatism, the default value of each parameter is defined by the user in the SCE.
It can also be modified by DS Agile S1.
Availability:

• Only for referenced configuration database version. The library database and the working database
version are not available.

A third result is a warning that indicates that some DS Agile C26x configuration files could be too big for
downloading into the DS Agile C26x by the SMT. It is only a warning and the System Data Bag is created.
So, If generation succeeds, the *.zip generated file is to be provided to SMT equipment that download
equipment databases from the .zip
A good practice is to launch a generation only for a checked referenced version which has no
consistency error.

Figure 66: Relation link editor

On top, the working object is remembered to know where user is working.

On bottom, two buttons: the first allows to apply modification and the other closes dialog box.
Two main parts:
 the relation list, which displays all relations available for the selected object,
 the object tree, which displays all objects available for the current selected relation.
A relation between two objects has a direction. So, the relation list is composed of two tabbed panes:
 “From”, which gives relations for which the working object is the main object,
 “To”, which gives relations for which the working object is the second object.

"to" relation :
the origin of
the relation is
another objet

linked object working object linked object

"from" relation :
the origin of the
relation is the
working object
S1088ENa

Figure 67: Relation Direction

SCE/EN HI/D20 HI-63

Human Interface DS Agile System Configuration Editor

The relation label is the name of the relation, followed by the type of object which could be linked and then,
the cardinality of the relation ([min .. max]).
User can select more than one object by checking check boxes, and when apply modification, it creates one
relation for each new selected object and removes relation with new unselected objects, after controlling the
cardinality.
So, if cardinality is respected by selection, after apply, there’s one relation for each selected object, and no
relation with others.
The object tree could be view as an object list:

Figure 68: Relation link editor with objects list

As user could select more than one object, the list provides same check boxes seen in tree view, and four
new icons:

 Uncheck: which uncheck selected objects,

 Check: which check selected objects,

 Uncheck All: which uncheck all objects of the list,

4.2.11.5 CANONIC FORM

Purpose:

• View an FBD interlock equation in two forms (developed and factorised). It is used to visualise all
the content of the logical equation selected into a normalised view (sum of products) and into the
original view (factorised). See the example below.

• The view is divided in two parts, one to represent the whole automation diagram and one two
represent the developed equations which will be generated to implement the automatism. The
developed equation is displayed in DS Agile OI when a control is refused because of interlocks.
(This does not apply to DS Agile aView as this operation is done in Blend.)

• The development of an equation must generate much combinations of operands that can be easily
simplified using basic Morgan rules (e.g.: A AND A = A, A OR A = A, A AND NOT(A) = 0), so the
resulting developed equation can be lighter than the factorised. More, if all the operands are
cancelled, the developed equation displayed is empty, revealing that the original equation contains a
conception mistake.

4.4 GRAPHIC MENU

Graphic menu is the collection of items which implements DS Agile SCE graphic features:

• Graphic editors which are specialised for each kind of target equipment: OI mimic and Computer
mimic. The data model and the edition constraints of each of them are different.

• Graphic palettes: colour, font, stroke, and bitmap. These palettes are used to define the graphical
attributes of each graphic object of mimics.

SCE/EN HI/D20 HI-103

Human Interface DS Agile System Configuration Editor

Items are activated when a graphic object is selected in navigator.

The graphic menus are classified from the kind of graphic objects. A graphic object could be a part of an OI
mimic or a Computer mimic. Two different graphic editors can be edited them: OI mimic editor and
Computer mimic editor.
General menu items (Grid, Zoom, and Anti-aliasing) are independent of this classification. These items can
be applied to an OI mimic or to a Computer mimic.
Graphic palettes can be modified at any moment.

Anti-aliasing
Colour editor The editor of colour palette
Font editor The editor of font palette
Stroke editor The editor of stroke palette

4.4.1 GRAPHIC PALETTES

A palette is a collection of predefined graphical attributes. Each element of a palette is identified by a
number.
When a graphical object is defined, the graphical attributes of this object is precise with using these palettes.
When an element of a palette is modified, all users of this element, i.e., all graphical objects which use a
reference (its number) to this element are impacted by this modification.
For example, colour 21 is used for circles C1, C2, rectangles R1, R2, and R3. When colour 21 is modified in
colour palette, C1, C2, R1, R2, R3 are also modified.
Colour, font, stroke palettes are based on the same editor with two parts: left part is the list of palette
element, right part is the description of the selected element in the list.
Bitmap palettes use the navigator and the attribute editor to define it. A bitmap editor allows to edit, pixel
by pixel, the selected bitmap.

4.4.1.4 BITMAP TABLE AND BITMAP EDITOR

Purpose:

• The bitmap table is a bitmap palette. It contains 150 bitmaps maximum. Each bitmap is identified by
a number, its identifier. Bitmap is used during Computer mimic definition, with this unique reference
(see Computer mimic section).

There is no specific editor to edit bitmap table: use navigator and attribute editor to edit it. The data
model of this palette is the same than the three other palettes. Bitmap table is an object of Graphical
tables of Graphical views. Each bitmap is a component of bitmap table. So for adding a bitmap, use
object entry and for deleting one, use the edit/delete menu item.

A good practice is to name the bitmap with identifier as a prefix.

Figure 129: Bitmap palette through navigator

• A bitmap is implemented in DS Agile SCE by one or several files with *.png format.
A bitmap file is stored into the configuration database (.mpl or .mpc).
A bitmap file could be imported with another format (.jpg, .jpeg, .gif or .png) but it is always transcribed
into .png format.

A bitmap could be a single bitmap or multiple bitmap.

Single bitmap is displayed in a mimic without any animation, only one file is necessary to define this
kind of bitmap.
5-uple bitmap or multi-state bitmap is used to represent an object with different states: a bitmap file
by state. A specific multi-state bitmap is defined with 5 pre-defined states: default, open, closed,
withdrawn open, withdrawn closed.

The bitmap file can be edited by an external tools and import it. It can be also edited inside
DS Agile SCE with a bitmap editor.
Availability:

• Always

SCE/EN HI/D20 HI-113

• left part contents the draws tools (pencil, dropper, paint, eraser, and hand to move), the predefined
shapes (line, oval, rectangle, rounded rectangle and full oval, full rectangle, full rounded rectangle)
and the specific colour palette.
Note: The edited bitmaps are used in controller bay mimics displayed on DS Agile C26x front panel
HMI. Otherwise, the DS Agile C26x front panel HMI is black & white. So the specific colour palette of
bitmap editor is not useful for its actual application.

• central part contents the pixel editor or pixel view.

• right part contents the bitmap pre-viewer, the general function (resize view, erase view, save as
action) and then handling tools to rotate, move or flip the current bitmap.

mimic Editor is also visible in the Navigator and/or in the Attributes Editor. Reversibly, any modification
done in the Navigator or in the Attributes Editor is also visible in the Computer mimic Editor (if the
modification has a graphical effect).

• Selection
The selected object in the Computer mimic Editor depends on the selected object in the Navigator. More
precisely:
 If the selected object is a bay mimic, no object is selected in the Computer mimic Editor.
 If the selected object belongs to a module, the corresponding module is selected in the Computer
mimic Editor.
Multi-selection is available with a key-sequence: shift / left mouse click.
Unselect an object in a multi-selection is available with the same key-sequence: shift / left mouse click.

Current languages
Two combo-boxes are available:
Configurator’s language stands for the language used to display the user interface (i.e. the menus, dialog
boxes, the button tool tips, labels…),
Database’s language has two meanings, depending on context:

• if no database is opened, the language indicates in which language a database must be created
• if a database is opened, it indicates in which language the database content must be displayed (i.e.
the values of attributes)
When a database is opened, the displayed database language is set to current configurator’s language if the
language is defined in database, or else, the first created language of the database is chosen.
Database languages
All languages of the current configuration appear in the list Configuration languages.
The remaining available languages appear in the list Available languages.

Tool bar:
 The upper tool bar is used to select the labels that must be displayed in the edition area. The
selected letter corresponds to the first letter of the label in the reference language.
 Only the letters that actually correspond to existing labels in the reference language are showed.
For instance, if there is no word beginning by the ‘a’ letter in the reference language then the ‘A’
letter will not be present in the tool bar.
 The ”ALL” word allows displaying all the entries of the dictionary.
Edition area:
 The greyed parts can not be edited by the user. The reference language labels are greyed, unlike
the target languages labels.
 The first column shows a “mark” if the translation of the corresponding entry was modified.
 A contextual menu allows to cancel the modifications of this entry and thus to retrieve the initial
values of all translations.
 The user can directly edit a translation inside the cell of a target language column.
 The max length column contains the maximum length of the label translations.
 The attribute column shows the attributes number that are associated with this label. A button is
used to display a windows tree structure with all attributes holding this label. This button is
contextual and it is displayed when the entry is selected.

4.7 DATA MENU

Figure 180: Tools Export, import and report actions

4.7.1 DATA/SCE DATA/EXPORT, IMPORT SUB-MENU

The export/import actions allow to export/import a subset of configuration data to/from XML files.
Several kinds of export/import are available:

• Standard export/import: a DS Agile SCE standard XML format has been defined to exchange any
data from/to DS Agile SCE.

• IO mapping export: a specialisation of standard XML export. This export is limited to controllers and
their mappings: all datapoints and their linked info (profiles, addresses, …) that are managed by
controllers.

• SCL 61850 export: use of IEC 61850-8-1 standard to export SBUS data.

For export use cases, the subset of configuration data is defined by user and depends on the kind of
exports:

• Standard export: a browser allows to select/deselect some objects/templates sub tree. The result
query allows this selection too.

• IO Mapping export: a browser allows to select/deselect some controllers.

• SCL 61850 export: a browser allows to select/deselect some IEC 61850-8-1 devices.

HI-162 SCE/EN HI/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Human Interface

Some Extra configuration files attached to data are excluded from any import and export actions:

• ISaGRAF and FBD files (Fast and slow automation description)

• Image files included in OI mimics and bay Computer mimics
The others Extra configuration files attached to data are included from any import and export actions:

• XML files of FBD (Fast automation description)

• Image files of FBD (*.png)

4.7.2 DATA/SCE DATA

4.7.2.1 DATA/SCE DATA/ IMPORT & EXPORT SCHEMA DEFINITION

Tools/Import and Tools/Export use the same exchange format.
Object is the central XML element of this format:

• Name is the DS Agile SCE attribute short name of the object,

• id is the internal DS Agile SCE id of the object;
• idType is the type id of the object;
• ExtId is the object path name, also called External Id. This path name identifies the object and its
parents. It’s a concatenation of short name of each parents of the object;

• Attribute(s) is a DS Agile SCE attribute of the object with:

 id is the internal mnemonic of the attribute,
 Name is the label that is used by DS Agile SCE Attribute editor,
 Value is the value of the attribute,
 ReadOnly is a flag that indicates the attribute is read only or not
 Desc is the textual description of an enumerate value.
In the following example, an attribute is displayed in each line, so 8 attributes are displayed:

SCE/EN HI/D20 HI-163

Human Interface DS Agile System Configuration Editor

• Relation(s) is the definition of a link between this object and another object:
 this link or relation is typed;
 the other object is defined by its identifiers (internal and external);
 and, optionally, relation has its own attribute(s).
In the following example, the relation describes the link client/server between two devices. This kind of link
has an attribute, DataModelAndGooseUsage, which defines the type of SBUS communication between
theses two devices.

The description of DS Agile SCE exchange format is completely defined by schema file (*.xsd) in DS Agile
SCE installation directory: DS Agile SCEx.y/data/dtd/ExportDb.xsd

4.7.2.2 DATA/SCE DATA/EXPORT…

Purpose:
Export in XML zipped files the selected part of current database.
The selection of data is made in a browser displaying the three categories of objects (electrical, system and
graphical) and templates split in the 3 previous categories, corresponding to the main entry point of the
template.
The exported data can be issued from the result of a query.
Standard export produces multiples XML files:

• One file for each type of exported objects and one file for each type of exported templates.

Notes:
- Each XML file uses the standard DS Agile SCE XML format.
- One file contains only one type of objects.
- Two sub-directories are exported, one contains all objects files, and the other all templates files.

HI-164 SCE/EN HI/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Human Interface

In the following example, the file UCA2Computer.xml contains three controllers. A header element defines
the context of this export.

• The Extra configuration files: for the FBD objects or templates, a sub-directory (Fbd) is exported and
it contains all XML files image files of FBD.
Standard export produces also some files used only for reporting use cases. Theses files are not used by
import use cases.

• Hierarchy.xml: XML file containing all the object/template hierarchy exported.

• Catalog.xml: XML file containing the list of files exported for each object/template types.
• ExportDB.xsd: schema of exported XML files. Only for info.

5 The exported files are stored in this ZIP file.

4.7.2.3 DATA/SCE DATA/IMPORT…

Purpose:
Import XML files. The following actions are taken into account during this import:

• object attributes and relations modifications,

• object creations,
• object instantiation from template,
• object deletions.
Standard import is available for one XML file or for ZIP file that contains several XML files. In this case, the
XML files are imported with file name alphabetic order.
In an XML file, only Object elements are taken into account during import process, with file reading/parsing
order. The XML element Type which could group objects with the same type is not taken into account. The
Object elements that represent DS Agile SCE template are not imported.
Import format is the standard DS Agile SCE XML format. So, the complete XML description (attributes,
relations) of a DS Agile SCE object is the result of the Standard export use case.
By default, Object is imported in creation/updating mode: if the object already exists, it is updated,
otherwise it is created.

HI-166 SCE/EN HI/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Human Interface

Some other explicit actions are available during import:

• instantiate a template. An attribute op with keyword “inst” as value is defined. Another attribute extIdT
contains the identifier of template to instantiate.

• delete an object. An attribute op with keyword “del” as value is defined. It indicates that object must be
deleted.

Note 1:
XML Attribute Name is optional. It is used to modify the DS Agile SCE attribute Shortname of the object. If
XML Attribute Name is not defined, ExtId must be defined; the last part of ExtId is used instead of XML
Attribute Name.
Note 2:
XML Attribute id and sub-element ExtId are both optional, but one at least must be defined to identify the
object during import into database. To search the object in database, XML Attribute Id is used at first. If Id is
not defined, ExtId sub-element is used. When ExtId is used, if two objects at the same hierarchical level
have the same external Id, an extra discrimination is done based on its idType. This idType is used to
determine the basic class of the object. The external Id + this determined class must define a unique key.
Note 3: (relative to Extra Configuration files of FBD)
In the sub-directory Fbd, the XML files of FBD are imported only if the corresponding diagram exists in
database. Each XML file of FBD has an "FBType" element with the "ExtId" attribute that is the external Id of
its corresponding diagram in order to find it.

4.7.4 DATA/EXTERNAL DATA/EXPORT FBD

Purpose:

• Export in XML format FBD automations or FBD interlocks.

The exported files are stored in a ZIP file which can contain in according to the user choice:

• One .XML file per FBD describing the FBD plus one XSD file describing the schema of a FBD XML
file. The XML file is linked to an XSD schema: therefore it must be valid. This file is used after
updating by the FBD Editor (The EqViewer software); it contains:
 the general data
 the interface data (inputs, outputs)
 the Function Block data (type, location)
 the connection data (source, destination)

• One .PNG file per FBD which is the graphical representation of the FBD. Even if the FBD has been
created on 2 or 4 pages in the FBD Editor, only one PNG file is generated. The image size depends
on the useful area of FBD.

• One .PDF file which is a report of all selected FBD in the dialog box. It is generated in A4 format with
the landscape orientation. It contains
 a cover page (see Figure 189)
 the FBD list (see Figure 190)
For each FBD:
 the diagram picture (see Figure 191)
 the input list (see Figure 192)
 the output list (see Figure 192)

4.7.6 DATA/EXTERNAL DATA/EXPORT IOMAPPING…

Purpose:

• This export is a specialization of standard export: it allows to export the IO mapping of C26x
devices.
It uses the same XML schema but the exported files and the data selection are different.
The exported files are stored in a ZIP file.
IO Mapping Export produces multiple XML files:

• 1 file for all profiles named <1 – Profiles.xml>,

• 1 file for all selected C26x, named <2 – Equipement.xml>,
• n files, one for each selected C26x, named <3 – computer's short name.xml>.
Each XML file respects the standard DS Agile SCE XML format and hierarchy.
Profiles:
This file is build with all profiles found directly under Scs root and which respect the pattern *_[n].
Equipment:
This file is built with all equipment of the database (even if not selected in dialog box) and describes each
one:

• for a C26x, it gives all cards, SCADA networks, Legacy networks (IED) and printers,
• for a Gateway, it gives all SCADA networks,
• and for OI, it gives all printers.
Controller(s):
The last files are built for each selected C26x and define all datapoints managed by this controller and their
addresses (linking + SCADA + IED). They contain the following information:

SCE/EN HI/D20 HI-179

Human Interface DS Agile System Configuration Editor

• SCADA address (of other devices or of the controller) used by datapoints managed by the controller,
• IED address of the controller,
• Voltage Level,
• datapoints on Voltage Level,
• Bays managed by controller,
• datapoints on Bays level,
• Modules,
• datapoints on Modules level
Note 1:
In each file, the objects are sorted according to their external id (= ExtId = path of short names of the
hierarchy of the object).
Note 2:
If an object is an instance of a Template and is the main object, XML attributes op and extIdT are added: op
with “inst” as value and extIdT with external id of template to instantiate as value. The external id of a
template is the name of template that is displayed in template navigator. For example, if a C26x is an
instance of template Scs-C26x-C26x
Model:

Note 3:
The relations are factorized. For example, an object “Group SPS” has several relations with other SPS; each
one uses the same type of relation. In this case, only one XML element Relation contains all sub-element
TargetObjectExtId. Each TargetObjectExtId sub-element defines the external identifier of each linked object.

• the list of existing IEC 61850 IEDs connected to the Station Bus.
Each IEC 61850 IED is displayed with its currently associated model if there is one.
When an already used model is selected, the IEC 61850 IED(s) associated with the selected model
is/are ticked. They cannot be “unticked”, the only way to remove an association is to set another
model to the IED.
Then, five actions are possible through this dialog box:

HI-190 SCE/EN HI/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Human Interface

• Import: to append model files (XML or ICD files)

• Export: to save his models outside of the database directory
• Remove: to delete unused models form the library. When a model is used by an IED, the Remove
button is not active.

• Set: to associate (change or add) a model to an existing IED.

• IED Mapper: to update mapping of private classes of the IED to DS Agile common classes. The IED
Mapper button is active when a model is selected. The update of a model make all IEDs which use
this model to be updated to allow structure modification if needed. When importing a model file, if it is
an ICD file, it is automatically transformed to an XML file. Then, for all imported model files, the IED
Mapper is called to review classes association if needed.

Note:
When the database is read-only, only the Export action is available.

4.7.10.1 THE IED MAPPER

Click IED Mapper to display the dialog box below:

Figure 208: The IED Mapper dialog box

This window allows user to associate private classes of a non DS Agile IED to common classes defined in
DS Agile.

SCE/EN HI/D20 HI-191

Human Interface DS Agile System Configuration Editor

This work is necessary for DS Agile devices to understand what other devices say.
This association maps an unknown type of data (called Private Class) to a known one (called Common
Class). It uses attributes defined for these data in order to match them.
The title bar of this dialog displays the currently edited file. In this way, when importing multiple files, the user
knows on which he work.
There are three panels:

• The private class presents the list of private classes in tree view, to view the contents of each class,
• The common class presents the list of classes known by DS Agile equipment, in tree view too,
• The bottom panel is a log of actions.
The goal of this dialog is to associate a private class to a common class. To do this the user has five actions
represented by five buttons:

• Associate is used to associate the private class selected in left panel to common class selected in
right panel.

• Dissociate removes the association of the currently selected private class.

• Search exact CDC returns the common class which match exactly the selected private class, if it
exists, select it in common class list, and write it in log panel.

• Search similar CDC returns the common classes which looks like the selected private class, if it
exists, select the first one in common class list, and write them in log panel.

• Associate Auto launches a process which search all matching common classes for all private ones
and associate them automatically if found.
The last two buttons are used to exit the IED mapper, the first without saving, and the second with saving
the model.
When a private class (or sub-class) is associated to a common class, it’s shown by adding the common class
name on left of the arrow (->).
When an association is done manually, if some sub-classes are not automatically mapped, a subclass
association dialog box is displayed to allow user mapping them manually:

Figure 209: Subclass Association Dialog Box

It works like main dialog box, but specialized for a subset of classes.
After closing this dialog box, the association is done.

and select the domain of the search:

 Global requires to search in the database tree for the current mode (template / object)
 Local limits the search to the database sub-tree of the currently selected node
To set a local sub-tree, check the line (the check sign turns into when passing the mouse over
the line):

and/or the choice of the target attribute and the target object type:
 Short name: available for all kind of object. It represents the object into navigator
 Long name: applicable only to datapoints. Only datapoints and their long name are taken into
account during the search.

5 TRACES WINDOW
This area of the docking window is reserved for database developers. The aim is to study trouble at
maintenance level, and to keep precise traces of database modifications (for example between two
database evolutions asked by customer).

Figure 210: Trace window display

The display is based on 5 resizable columns with:

1 The Level field is one of the following trace levels: Information, Error, Warning, Debug, Fatal Error.
2 The Date field is the recording date/time of the trace.
3 The User field is the identification of the logged user.
4 The Source field is the DS Agile SCE class component that generates the trace. It is displayed only
when Debug traces are displayed.
5 The Message field is the text message of the trace.
Trace management is driven by 4 icons:

Save the displayed traces in a file selected through a file chooser.

Clear the table. Traces are saved in the log file of the open configuration
Toggle for DEBUG traces: If this button is selected, the DEBUG level traces are not displayed (they are
filtered). Else they are.
Toggle for traces from event manager of the DS Agile SCE software (operator actions…)

5.1 TRACE SAVING

User saving:
The User can save the displayed traces in a file selected through a file chooser. The current log file is then
saved into the given file. The file could be edited by an text editor. Field separator is a tab character.
Specific saving for configuration upgrades:
During opening of a configuration, an upgrade can be occurred (see File/Open). The traces sent by the
upgrade process are automatically saved in a specific file. The file name is log<v.r>.txt, where <v.r> is the
release number of the target configuration. It’s stored in the configuration file. This file is a zip file.

HI-196 SCE/EN HI/D20

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Human Interface

Example:
A configuration database conf.mpx is opened with DS Agile SCE with a release number 3.34. This operation
needs an upgrade of the configuration database. The upgrading operations are logged in a file log3.34.txt.
This file is stored in configuration database file conf.mpc which is a zip file.
With this feature, all upgrading operation of configuration database in stored in its file and could be
consulted. The files of .mpc are the following:

Figure 211: MPC contents and Upgrading Actions Log Files

Automatic saving:
The maximum number of traces in the table is configured in the General Settings.
When this maximum is reached, the non DEBUG level traces are automatically saved in the log file of the
open configuration and the table is cleared. The file name is log.txt. It's stored in the configuration zip file.
If the size of the current log.txt file is greater than 15 MB, then this file is saved as log(i).txt (where i is an
incremented number) and a new log.txt file is created for the new traces.
When the Check-In action is applied to a configuration, the traces are automatically saved in the frozen
configuration, the log file of the current configuration is reset.
When the Check-Out action is applied to a configuration, the new work configuration is created from the
frozen one, but the trace file (if any) is discarded.

5.2 TRACE LOG FILE CHECKING

An ADLER32 checksum is associated to each log file (except upgrading log files).
When a configuration is opened, all the log files are checked. If one of them is missing or has its checksum
not matching the one registered, then an error trace is displayed:

Corrupted traces log file

This feature prevents some external wrong manipulation of log files: any external modifications (add,
suppress, modification of a log line; or add, suppress of a log file) are traced by this error.

2.3.6 VARIANT ATTRIBUTES VALUE

Note:
These checks are not processed for backup devices.

An attribute value can be dependent of another attribute value.

In the following example, the "C26x SCADA Prot." has 2 attributes: "protocol" and "address structure".
The set of possible values for "address structure" depends on the selected value for "protocol".

C264 T101
(A) protocol
C26x SCADA Prot DNP3
depends of T104

(A) address structure

Address on 8 bits (1 byte)
Address on 16 bits (2 bytes)
Address on 8 bits.8 bits
Address on 8 bits.16 bits
Address on 16 bits.8 bits
Address on 8 bits.8 bits.8 bits
Address on 24 bits (3 bytes)
S0220ENa

At the User Interface, the modification of the "protocol" value may lead to an incompatible "address structure"
value.

06101 / AttributeValue / The attribute value is not valid

Example:
06101 / AttributeValue / The attribute value is not valid-> [Scs | SBUS network | System Group | C264 | C26x
SCADA prot | address structure]

DS Agile System Configuration Editor Maintenance

06443 / AttributeValue / The attribute value of “Vendor id” should be less than “4294967296”

2.3.7 RELATIONS

Note:
These checks are not processed for backup devices.

The check of a relation depends on its definition in the Structural Database.

• A "Mandatory" flag is set to NO on a relation for which the link can be omitted.

Object (R)
Relation link No link
Mandatory = NO OR
Spare link
S0221ENa

If the relation is not linked, then the following message is displayed:

03008 / RelationLinkNull / The optional relation has no link

Examples:
03008 / RelationLinkNull / The optional relation has no link-> [Site | Substation | Voltage level | Feeder | has
for lock right: <null>]
If the relation is linked to a spare object, then the following message is displayed:

04010 / RelationLinkSpare / The optional relation has a spare link

Examples:
04010 / RelationLinkSpare / The optional relation have a spare link-> [Site | Substation | Substation DPC |
has for AutoManu dependency: Substation DPS]
Some optional relations may have a specific rule which does not produce a warning if not filled. These rules
are listed below:

• C26x SCADA protocols have the relation with a “main comm. port” which does not have to be filled in
case of T104 protocol,

• GHU200 Boards have a relation with a workspace which does not have to be filled when HMI type is
Simple.

• Virtual Inputs under IEC61850 Gen IED have a relation with input datapoints which does not have to
be filled
A "Mandatory" flag is set to YES on a relation for which the link is mandatory.

Object
(R)
Relation link No link
Mandatory = YES Or
Spare link
S0222ENa

If the relation is not linked, then the following message is displayed:

03007 / RelationLinkNull / The mandatory relation has no link

This check is not treated if the relation is:

SCE/EN MF/D20 MF-9

Maintenance DS Agile System Configuration Editor

• a UCA2 addressing relation

• a “UserFunction_RunsOn_PLC” of an Interlock FBD that belongs to a bay managed by a non DS Agile
IEC 61850-8-1 IED
Examples:
03007 / RelationLinkNull / The mandatory relation has no link-> [Site | has for Bypass right: <null>]
If the relation is linked to a spare object, then the following message is displayed:

04009 / RelationLinkSpare / The mandatory relation has a spare link

Examples:
04009 / RelationLinkSpare / The mandatory relation have a spare link-> [Site | Substation | Substation DPC |
has for profile: DPC profile]

• If a filter is defined for a relation, the link must be compatible with the filter definition.

Object (R)
Relation link
Filter link ∉ Filter
S0223ENa

05011 / RelationLinkFilter / The relation link is not compatible with the filter
Examples:
05011 / RelationLinkFilter/The relation link is not compatible with the filter-> [Site | Substation | Voltage level |
Feeder 1 | circuit breaker | Comp. swit. pos. | 'open' wired on: DI # 0]

2.3.8 TEMPLATES
The goal of these checks is to warn user about template coherency. For templates, check if all components
are present in all instances or clones.
This check indicates the template and instance concerned, and the component which are missing. If the
component is a template clone, indicate only the main template.
The way to correct this error is to delete the missing component in the template and to recreate it.

68213 / Templates / One instance of the template is not coherent with the template definition (Template,
Instance, missing component)
Example:
68213 / Templates / One instance of the template is not coherent with the template definition (Template,
Instance, missing component) -> [Site-Feeder-Feeder1 | Feeder1, Site | Substation | Voltage level | Feeder
1, Circuit breaker]

68215 / Templates / One instance of the template is not coherent with the template definition, a root
component is missing (Template, Instance, missing component)
A template can only use 1 sub-level of template, i.e. a maximum level of inner template is 2.

68254 / Templates /Number of inner templates reached (number, maximum)

 The "TCP/IP address" value of a device must be unique among all the devices per Ethernet
Network.
 The "network name" value of a device must be unique among all the devices per Ethernet Network.
 The network name (alias TCP/IP) must not be reserved by operating system.
Gateway device components attributes:

• “TCP/IP address”
• “IP address”
• “Redundant special link”.
The “TCP/IP address” value of an IEC61850 protocol under a gateway must be unique from its parent

Only for the DS Agile Application, the C26x Device has T104 SCADA protocols attributes:

• Each “socket IP #1, socket IP #2, socket IP #3, socket IP #4” values:
 of all the T104 SCADA protocols under a C26x must be unique, if different than the value “0.0.0.0”.
 of all the T104 SCADA protocols under a C26x ,must be unique among all the “TCP/IP address”

Exception:
Unicity is not required between an OI server and an OI client embedded in the same physical device.
Therefore, if an "OI client" is linked to an "OI server" through the relation "has for HMI server", then it is not
checked.
It is not required either for a T104 IED that has the same IP address under the main and standby Gateway.

one of those two attributes values.

2.4.2 SNTP SERVERS

On SCS object, it is possible to configure the TCP/IP addressing for SNTP server (primary and auxiliary
addresses).
These addresses may reference an existing device in database or devices outside the Alstom DS Agile
system.
Some rules must be followed for these addresses.

• If one of both IP addresses is configured and represent a DS Agile device, this device must be a
controller.

mask (255.255.255.x)
e.g - TCP/IP Address is 192.168.0.2 and TCP/IP(Eth 2) is 192.168.0.3, here both addresses have same
subnet mask (192.168.0)

2.4.3.1.2 C26x-Standalone redundancy

Redundancy of a C26x-Standalone is managed by the attribute “number of masters”. If it is set to 2, it is
considered as redundant.
A redundant C26x-Standalone mustn’t manage ISaGRAF or FBD functions.

2.4.3.1.3 Gateway redundancy
When a gateway is redundant, only the SCADA protocols T101, T104 and IEC61850 manage redundancy.
For all other protocols, the redundancy must be managed physically. (i.e. not thru the SCE)

• For a relation client-server with data model usage = data model with or without GOOSE, a DS Agile
C26x cannot have more than 10 clients and/or 50 servers. The client-server relations with GOOSE
only are out of the scope of this rule.

Notes:
- With the maximum number of 10 clients, non-configured clients such as the equipment simulator (no longer
supported) are not taken into account. The number of non-configured clients is defined by a constant in the settings.
- With the maximum number of 10 clients, non-configured clients such as SMT are always taken into account. For a
given controller, the user can establish up to 9 actual client relations.
- Exception: GOOSE client-server relations which are out of the scope of this rule.

Particular cases of T101, T104 and DNP3 protocols (for DS Agile C26x and Gateways):
 The unicity constraint is applicable only for addresses of the same type. Addresses of different
types can have identical addresses and therefore this does not lead to an error but to a warning.
 Address for Disturbance uploading and Buffer Overflow (only for T101 and T104) to SCADA are
also taken into account in the unicity check.
 The type for T101 and T104 is same as defined in SCE (SPS, DPS, SPC…) and for DNP3, is
grouping simple and double (TS, TC, TM, Counter and SetPoint)

Prior to the checks definitions, the figures hereafter introduce those relations, per Datapoint type, as they are
defined by the SCE Data Design.

Note:
If the Acquisition source is defined with the "is managed by" relation, then the Datapoint is considered as a "System"
Datapoint.

Only 1 Acquisition/Control source can be defined per Datapoint.

21043 / DatapointServer / Multiple control sources (server, relation)

Example:
21043 / DatapointServer / Multiple control sources (server, relation)-> [Scs | SBUS network | System Group |
C264, has for IED address : DPC addr. on IED]
A datapoint must be addressed on the DS Agile C26x which manages it.
i.e.: the automatic addressing generate addresses of a bay datapoint on the DS Agile C26x which manage
the bay, but if the datapoint is produced by an automation which is managed by another DS Agile C26x,
there’s a problem to determine which DS Agile C26x is server.

2.7.3 CLIENT / SERVER DEFINITION

For a Datapoint, the Server and Clients identification is based on general rules (see section 2.7.3.1 General
definitions ) which can be overwritten by specific rules depending of the Datapoint type (see section 2.7.3.2
Detailed definitions).
These definitions are based on the SCE Data Design.

as the Server ("is managed by" relation link).
 if the Datapoint is located above a Bay, the device managing the associated voltage level,
substation or site (via has for default server relation set at the corresponding level) is automatically
considered as the Server except if it has an IEC address on a specific server.
