Abstract

General This part of IEC 61850 specifies a file format for describing communication-related IED (Intelligent Electronic Device) configurations and IED parameters, communication system configurations, switch yard (function) structures, and the relations between them. The main purpose of this format is to exchange IED capability descriptions, and SA system descriptions between IED engineering tools and the system engineering tool(s) of different manufacturers in a compatible way. The defined language is called System Configuration description Language (SCL). The IED and communication system model in SCL is according to IEC 61850‑5 and IEC 61850‑7-x. SCSM specific extensions or usage rules may be required in the appropriate parts. The configuration language is based on the Extensible Markup Language (XML) version 1.0 (see XML references in Clause 2). This standard does not specify individual implementations or products using the language, nor does it constrain the implementation of entities and interfaces within a computer system. This part of the standard does not specify the download format of configuration data to an IED, although it could be used for part of the configuration data. Identification of the namespace The namespace associated with this document is an XML schema (XSD) for the System Configuration Language (SCL). Code Component distribution Each Code Component is a ZIP package containing the electronic representation of the Code Component itself, with a file describing the content of the package (IECManifest.xml). The life cycle of a code component is not restricted to the life cycle of the related publication. The publication life cycle goes through two stages, Version (corresponding to an edition) and Revision (corresponding to an amendment). A third publication stage (Release) allow publication of Code Component in case of urgent fixes of InterOp Tissues, thus without need to publish an amendment. Consequently, new releases of the Code Component may be released, which supersedes the previous release, and will be distributed through the IEC TC57 web site. The latest version/release of the code component will be found by selecting the file for the code component with the highest value for VersionStateInfo, e.g. IEC_61850-6.SCL.{VersionStateInfo}.full.zip. The code component associated to this document is an XML schema file (XSD). It is available as a full version only. It is freely accessible on the IEC website for download, but the usage remains under the licensing conditions. In case of any differences between the downloadable code component and the IEC pdf published content, the downloadable code component is the valid one; it may be subject to updates. See included history files.
