1. Software-Requirements and Use Conditions
Software:
TIA Portal V12.1 / TIA Portal V13
IEC61850 device engineering tool
IEC Browser
Library:
The library for S7 300 systems is available in two different compilations.
· Lib_TIA_v1[21|3]_IEC61850_Client_300_CP
Using the library with an additional CP module
· Lib_TIA_v1[21|3]_IEC61850_Client_300_TCON
Using the library with the CPUs PN-IO port
See also chapter Simatic Manager – Net configuration
Hardware:
The following Hardware is supported with the IEC61850 block library. (The library therefore is
available in two different compilations)
· S7 300 (Lib_TIA_v1[21|3]_IEC61850_Client_300_[CP|TCON])
· S7 400 (Lib_TIA_v1[21|3]_IEC61850_Client_400)
· S7 1500 (Lib_TIA_v1[21|3]_IEC61850_Client_1500)
For communication over Ethernet it is required to use either:
· CP 343-1EX11 V2.6 Ethernet CP (or higher) or S7 300, S7 CPU with PN-IO interface
· CP 443-1EX11 V2.6 Ethernet CP (or higher) or S7 400 CPU, mEC with PN-IO interface
Maximum instances per S7 400 CPU:

With the CP 443-1 as well as the CP 343-1 module up to 64 network connections can be created.
Due to the fact, the S7 CPU handles the IEC 61850 protocol the IEC61850_COM block consumes
a lot of scan time and memory. (The CP module handles only the deeper Layers ISO on TCP and
TCP)
Therefore the IEC 61850 library is limited by up to 8 connections per CPU.
S7 300 CPU restrictions:

Alarm and reporting functionality is not supported by S7 300 CPU. Because of this, IEC_ALARM
AND IEC_REP blocks are not delivered with S7 300 Lib
(Lib_TIA_v1[21|3]_IEC61850_Client_300_[CP|TCON])).
Generel performance restrictions:

The maximum number of IEC61850 tags, which can be handled by the library, depends on the
used CPU and the number of connected IEC61850 server devices. To calculate the maximum
number we provide an excel sheet you can download on our IEC61850 product web-page:
http://www.industry.siemens.com/industrysolutions/global/en/IT4Industry/products/simatic_add
_ons/iec-meets-simatic/iec_client_library/Pages/Default.aspx
In order to use the blocks, a license for each plant/project is required.

Additional functionality can be implemented on request.
2. Installation
2.1 TIA Portal – Open global library
The IEC 61850 Client library comes as global TIA Portal library with the file name
Lib_TIA_v1[21|3]_IEC61850_Client_[3|4|15]00_[CP|TCON].al1[2|3].
The library has to be opened in the project view of TIA Portal. Open the library with op-
tion “Open as read-only” in open file dialog.
Figure 1 - Open library
After the library was opened you can find out all objects for using the library under-
neath the directory “Master copies”. This directory contains:
· An instruction profile for compiling the library (not S7-1500)
· The IEC61850 data types
· The IEC61850 symbols
· The IEC61850 program blocks
Figure 2 - Library structure
Copy the libraries instruction profile to your project instruction profiles and activate it
by context menu. Open the profile in editor and change the value in combo box “CPU
family” to the type you are using.
Figure 3 - Common instruction profiles
Copy the PLC elements from the library to your PLC object in the project which should
use the IEC 61850 communication.

Compile all your program blocks (Software (rebuild all blocks)).

After the compile action has finished, the following system blocks should be added to
your PLC. The optional blocks will just be added when using T-communication library
(Lib_TIA_v1[21|3]_IEC61850_Client_300_TCON).

Table 1 – System blocks
Note: The IEC61850 library for S7-300/S7-400 PLC types contains function block “Cre-
ateCommunicationBlocks”. This function block has no functionality in IEC61850 com-
munication. The function block is necessary when IEC61850 library is compiled for the
first time. If the library is compiled it makes sure that system blocks FC5 and FC6 will be
generated successful.
2.2 TIA Portal – IEC 61850 Client Block setup
2.2.1 Setup a singular communication
· Add a new cyclic organization block (e.g. OB35) to your PLC

· Add a new Function Block (FB) to your PLC.
· Open the organization block in editor, drag the new FB into a network and add
the instance data block to your program.
Figure 5 - Cyclic OB - Call FB
· Open the function block in editor.

· Select function block “IEC61850_COM” underneath the IEC61850 group directory
in your PLC and drag it to a network in your function block.
· Add the instance data block to your program.
Figure 6 - IEC61850_COM block
· The IEC61850_COM block inputs and outputs are explained detailed in chapter
Block description IEC61850_COM
· MODE:
Here you can choose the mode for the cyclically reading of tags. It is important
to choose the correct mode for your application.
If your device supports DataSets, we recommend using this option, because it is

the fastest way for communication.
The following configurations are possible:

e.g. Further: DataSet en-
“CTRL/LLN0$$DataSet1” tries must not contain
objects, but only at-
tributes, except for
ALARM tags.
Table 2 - DATASET configuration
· REPORTING: If your IEC61850 device supports Reporting, enter the DataSet ad-
dress for reporting, containing the list of Report values, in the input
RP_DSADDR. (e.g. “CTRL/LLN0$$DataSet2”). Only the complete address is al-
lowed.
Note: It is recommended to configure not the same DataSet you have config-
ured on input DS_NAME for cyclically reading the tag blocks (e.g. IEC_RD_BO,
IEC_RD_IN…). For reporting functionality you have to create a separate Data Set
within your IEC61850 server device with the related IEC61850 device engineer-
ing tool. If your IEC61850 server device is a SIPROTEC, the DataSet for reporting
is automatically installed by DIGSI with creating a new report application (see
A.1.3).
Further enter the Report Control block address (e.g.
“CTRL/LLNO$$BR$$brcbA01”) at the input RP_CTRL_ADDR. This Control block
should contain the previous configured DataSet name in the field DataSet after
the communication has started. Please verify with IEC61850 Browser.
· Configure the Input IED_NAME with the IEC 61850 device name. (Please note,
all addresses and names are Case sensitive)
· Set the cycle time of the OB which calls the communication block to SAMPLE_T.
This input should never be 0.0. It’s used for TIMOUT calculation.
· To enable WinCC messaging, set the EN_MSG to 1.
· TIMEOUT is the maximum wait time in milliseconds to wait for an answer after a
READ request.
· Set STRT_COM input to “OFF”, till the engineering work is done; to start com-
munication, set it to “ON”
· Please follow up with adding at least one RD_XXX block. This procedure is ex-
plained in chapter 2.2.2 Configure Tag blocks
2.2.2 Configure Tag blocks
The IEC 61850 Client library is designed for a very flexible use. On one hand there is the
IEC61850_COM block which handles the IEC61850 protocol block and management
functionality. On the other hand there are several blocks which can be connected to the
IEC61850_COM block, called tag blocks. Each of the tag blocks represents one value in a
special data format (e.g. INT, REAL, BOOL)
Note: At least one IEC_RD_XXX block has to be connected to the IEC61850_COM block!
Currently the library supports the following tag blocks which read IEC61850 tags cycli-
cally:
· IEC_RD_BO (BOOL)
· IEC_ALARM (BOOL with timestamp)
· IEC_RD_BS (BITSTRING)
· IEC_RD_IN (INT)
· IEC_RD_RL (REAL)
The following tag blocks read values on change with the IEC61850 reporting mecha-
nism
· IEC_REPORT (BOOL on change with timestamp)
Switches can be controlled with:

· IEC_CTRL (uses IEC61850 control mechanism)
Additionally tags can be written (e.g. substitution values) with the following blocks
· IEC_WR_BO (BOOL)
· IEC_WR_BS (BITSTRING)
· IEC_WR_IN (INT)
· IEC_WR_RL (REAL)
2.2.3 Engineer tag blocks
· Add e.g. one IEC_RD_IN block

· Set R0_CONNECT to the data block value IEC61850_COM_DB.CONNECT. For the
following tag blocks always use the same order of R0_CONNECT!
Figure 7 - Set R0_Connect to DB value “CONNECT”
· Enter the IEC61850 address string on input “ADDRESS”

(Please note in Step 7 you have to replace “$” with “$$”)
Note: These IEC61850 address strings can also be generated and copied via
the StatCon configuration tool. For further information see Configuring
IEC61850 addresses via StatCon.
o For the simple tag blocks:
· IEC_RD_BS (BITSTRING),
· IEC_RD_IN (INT),
· IEC_RD_RL (REAL)
· IEC_RD_BO (BOOL)
The full path including the object attribute has to be entered,
starting with the IEC 61850 domain name.
e.g. CTRL/LLN0$$ST$$Loc$$ stVal (for a BOOL tag block)
o For the complex tag blocks:

· IEC_ALARM (BOOL with timestamp),
· IEC_REPORT (BOOL on change with timestamp)
· IEC_CTRL (uses IEC61850 control mechanism)
Only the path to the object name itself has to be entered
e.g. CTRL/LLN0$$ST$$Loc (for a REPORT tag block).
In Case of IEC_CTRL the path excluding Oper/SBO object has to be set

up: e.g. CTRL/LLN0$$CO$$LEDRs
Figure 8 - Example: Tag block configuration
· Set up user defined WinCC messages. The tag blocks

o IEC_ALARM (BOOL with timestamp),
o IEC_REPORT (BOOL on change with timestamp)

can be configured to generate messages in WincC.
The message texts can be specified like described in the following:
o Open the PLC alarms in editor
o If you are using a single instance DB for your IEC_ALARM or IEC_REPORT
block you can change the default text of the subalarm entries of
MSG_EVID of the block. These text entries are used for each single in-
stance DB of this block.
o If you are using a multi instance DB for your IEC_ALARM or IEC_REPORT
block no default alarm texts will be used. You have to declare the alarm
texts for each multi instance DB.
o After changing the message texts, the AS program and the OS should be
compiled. The compiled AS program has to be downloaded to the CPU.
Please note:
· At least one cyclically read tag block (IEC_RD_XXX) has to be engineered to es-
tablish the communication to an IEC 61850 device
· At maximum up to 80 cyclically read tag blocks can be configured. The maxi-
mum size of connected blocks is 250. The more blocks are engineered, the more
CPU scan time is needed. Detailed performance information you can find here: 1
Software-Requirements and Use Conditions
2.3 TIA Portal – Net Configuration (not S7-1500)

Like mentioned in the introduction, the IEC61850 client library can be used with an ad-
ditional CP module or with the CPUs PN-IO port (if available at the CPU)
The SIEMENS SIMATIC environment offers two different system libraries for network
communication:
· AG_(L)SEND/AG_(L)_RCV (communication parameters are set up in the network
view of TIA Portal. Connection reference parameters have to be taken out from
the network view and set to the IEC61850_COM block)
· T-communication library (all communication parameters, like IP address, type,
are engineered directly on the IEC61850_COM block, no configuration in net-
work view is necessary!
Communication via the CP 443-1 /CP343-1 module can be done with the
AG_(L)SEND/AG_(L)RECV communication. Therefore follow up with chapter 2.3.1 Using
network view configuring AG_(L)SEND/AG_(L)RECV
Communication via the PN-IO port requires communication with the T-communication
blocks. If you want to connect an IEC 61850 device with your CPUs PN-IO port follow up
with chapter 2.3.2 Using program block configuring T-communication settings .
2.3.1 Using network view configuring AG_(L)SEND/AG_(L)RECV
The network view allows configuring the Ethernet connection between the CP443-1
Communication Processor and an active communication partner (IEC 61850 client).
· Navigate to the dedicated S7 PLC in project tree view.
· Open the device configuration editor and switch to network view.
· Choose option “Connections” on toolbar and entry “ISO-on-TCP connection” in
combo box.
Figure 9 - Network view settings
· Select PLC object in network view, open its context menu and choose entry “Add
connection”.
Figure 10 - Add new connection
· To create a new connection press button “Add” on dialog “Create new connec-
tion” and close the dialog on “Close” button. The new connection was added to
the connection table on tab “Connections”.
· Select the new connection and choose tab “Properties”.
Figure 11 - The new ISO on TCP connection
· Choose general entry “Special connection properties” and make sure, “Active
connection establishment” is selected (active).
Figure 12 - Properties - ISO-on-TCP connection: Special connection properties
· Choose “Local ID” and note down the Block Parameters “ID” and “LADDR”. These
parameters are used later for the IEC61850 Server block inputs “CON_ID” and
“LADDR” as connection reference.
Figure 13 - Properties - ISO-on-TCP connection: Local ID
· Navigate to “Address details” and enter the Local TSAP and Remote TSAP. These
parameters should be taken out from your IEC 61850 device description. (default
setting is: Local TSAP 00.01 and Remote TSAP 00.01)
· Enter the IEC 61850 device IP address.
Figure 14 - Properties - ISO-on-TCP connection: Address details
· Compile and download changed communication parameters
Now you can use the following IEC61850_COM inputs in your program block:
Input

EN_TCON This Input should be set to “0” disabling T-communication and enabling
AG_(L)SEND/AG_(L)RECV
LADDR Enter the LADDR connection reference parameter from network view
CONN_ID Enter the Connection ID reference parameter from network view
Table 3 - AG_(L)SEND/AG_(L)RECV parameter settings
2.3.2 Using program block configuring T-communication settings
The following Input parameters have to be setup for the IEC61850_COM block, using
singular communication.
Input name Description PLC type

EN_TCON This Input should be set to “1” enabling T- S7-300/S7-
communication and disabling AG_(L)SEND/AG_(L)RECV 400/S7-1500

2.4 Configuring IEC 61850 addresses via StatCon

The delivery of the IEC61850 Client Basic Library contains also the StatCon configura-
tion tool. This tool can be used for configuring the correct IEC61850 addresses on the
tag blocks in your TIA Portal program.
2.4.1 Copy and paste IEC61850 addresses
This chapter explains how addresses can be copied from StatCon to your blocks in TIA
Portal program. For further information’s about working with the configuration tool,
please refer to the separated StatCon manual.
The first step is to add a new “IEC61850 Client Basic Library” Station device and a new
“External device” in StatCon.
After this, you have to assign the ICD file of your IEC device to the external device. If the
settings of the external device were applied the data structure of your IEC device will be
generated.
Drag the Data Objects of the IEC device, you want to configure, to the tag table of the
“IEC61850 Client Basic Library” Station device. In the tag table a new entry is added
which contains the IEC61850 address of your Data Object with the correct object sepa-
rators as required on tag blocks of the IEC61850 library in TIA Portal.
Figure 17 - Drag Data Object to tag table
With the checkbox in table column “Alarm/Report” you can select if the address is used
on a tag block or on an alarm or report block. If you want to use the address on an
alarm or report block, activate the checkbox. After this, the address did not contain the
address part of the IEC61850 Data Attribute name anymore.
Figure 18 - Address for tag block
Figure 19 - Address for alarm or report block
To copy the IEC61850 address, open the context of the corresponding tag by a right
click on mouse and select context entry “Copy address to clipboard”.
Figure 20 - Copy address form StatCon tag
After this, switch to your TIA Portal program block and paste address value.

Figure 23 - screenshot IEC61850_COM block S7-1500
3.1.2 Block description
IEC61850_COM block handles the IEC 61850 protocol. It manages all connected tag
blocks. It recognizes cyclic read tags, creates read requests and dispatches the values to
the connected blocks. Furthermore Reports are dispatched to the dedicated blocks.
In the following the most important inputs and outputs will be explained detailed
RED_CONNECT
Do not change default value of this input (default value 16#8001). This input is just
necessary for H-systems and these systems will not be supported by TIA Portal.
LADDR / CONN_ID
LADDR input and CONN_ID specify the used NetPro connection between the CP 443-1
CP and the IEC 61850 device, when using AG_(L)SEND/AG_(L)RECV communication.
CONN_ID
LADDR input and CONN_ID specify the used NetPro connection between the CP 443-1
CP and the IEC 61850 device, when using AG_(L)SEND/AG_(L)RECV communication.
MODE
Mode input configures the way the IEC61850_COM block requests the cyclically read
values:
DEBUG_MODE (0) means, the IEC_61850_COM block is running in debug mode.
It sends a read request for every tag, which should be read cyclically and evalu-
ates its response. In that mode it can be verified, if an IEC61850 tag address is
not set up correctly. (QBAD = TRUE). This mode is only for debugging.
Caution: This mode does not support IEC_CTRL, IEC_REPORT. Although the
tags blocks can be connected to the IEC61850_COM block, they will not work
properly
DATASET (1) stands for DataSet mode. This means, at beginning a list (DataSet)
is created in the IEC 61850 device. When running in ZYKLCOM, all variables are
read with requesting the list name. Not all devices support the services to create
a DataSet dynamically over the IEC61850 protocol, but allow configuring a Da-
taSet with a Engineering Tool. Therefore it is important to know the existing Da-
taSet with the containing tags. This can be done accessing the device with the
IEC61850 browser. DS_CONF_OP can be set to “NOT_SPTED” and the connected
tag block schedule order should correspond to the order in the DataSet existing
in the device.
LIST (2) mode reads all the connected tags within one request. Therefore a list of
tags containing all addresses is read cyclically. This mode is very scan time con-
suming. It should only used for devices, which not support DataSets.
May be the TIMEOUT variable has to be increased. This is indicated, if
IEC61850_COM block reaches “ZYKLCOM” state but does not keep it stable.
It is recommended to set MODE to DATASET, due to the fact it is the fastest way to
poll tags cyclically. If your IEC 61850 device does not support datasets, use LIST
mode.
DEBUG mode should only used to detect address configuration faults.
LIST mode as well as DATASET mode require a RESET for engineering changes (add,
delete blocks, address change)
Please see also table DATASET configuration
IED_NAME
The IED name has to be set with this input (IED: Intelligent Electronic Device). The IED
name is a string and is set up with your engineering tool. (e.g. IED_001c).
It can be read out with the IEC 61850 browser tool.
DS_CONF_OP
DS_CONF_OP stands for DataSet Configuration Operations. These can either be sup-
ported or be not supported. (dynamic create, delete DataSets). Check your device de-
scription if these operations are supported
DS_NAME
The DataSet name is a string to identify your DataSet to cyclically read tags. The DataSet
is placed in the IEC61850 device VMD area (entering only the DataSet name like “DS1”
or in the Device Domain/Item area, like “CTRL/LLN0$$DS1”.
RP_CONF_OP
RP_CONF_OP stands for Reporting Configuration Operation. If the IEC 61850 device
supports subscribing and unsubscribing Reports select “SUPPORTED”, otherwise select
“NOT_SPTED”.
If subscribing to reports is selected, the IEC61850_COM block enables the buffered Re-
porting for all tags included in the DataSet specified with RP_DSADDR (whole address)
with the trigger “on change”. Therefore a free Report Control block address which con-
tains the RP_DSADDR in entry DataSet has to be specified in RP_CTRL_ADDR.
If RP_CONF_OP is set to “SUPPORTED”, each installed report block (IEC_REP) will be ini-
tialized during communication startup with the values of the connected IEC61850-
Server device. After initialization, report values will only be changed if a report is trig-
gered through a connected IEC61850-Server device.
RP_DSADDR
pecify the DataSet containing the tags for reporting. The whole DataSet address has to
be configured. E.g. 'CTRL/LLN0$$DataSet1'
RP_CTRL_ADDR
Specify a free Report Control block address to enable reporting. Normally the corre-
sponding Report Control blocks reside in the same tree part like the Report DataSet.
e.g. 'CTRL/LLN0$$BR$$brcbA01'
EN_TCON
This Input should be set to “1” enabling T-communication and disabling
AG_(L)SEND/AG_(L)RECV
IP_ADDR
Enter the IEC61850 server IP address (protection relay), when using T- communication.
TSAP_RID
Enter the IEC61850 server TSAP number (default no: 0001), when using T- communica-
tion.
CPU_ID
Select the communication port. Enter the CPU type, if you use the CPUs PN-IO port. Se-
lect WinAC, if you use a modular Embedded Controller. Select CP443, if you want to run
T-CON communication explicit with a CP 443-1 module. Configuration is only necessary
if T- communication is used.
Interface_ID
Hardware identifier of the local interface. Find out this ID in properties of your commu-
nication module.
Figure 24 - Example for an interface ID of a CP module
TCON_ID/CON_ID
TCON_ID has to be unique for every IEC61850 communication instance running on a S7
CPU. We recommend subsequent numbering for every instance starting with “1”. Con-
figuration is only necessary if T- communication is used.
SAMPLE_T
CFC uses SAMPLE_T to write the block OB cycle time in ms/100. This input should never
be 0.0. It is used for TIMOUT calculation.
EN_MSG
Enables WinCC messaging, if set to “1”
STRT_COM
OFF deactivates the communication via IEC61850. ON starts the communication again.
RESET
Reset deactivates the IEC61850 communication, set all internal variables to INIT value
and re-organizes the internal block list. It has to be excecuted, if for example a tag block
is removed or added or a address has changed.
CONNECT
CONECT output has to be connected with the tag block R0/1_CONNECT input. (singular
mode: connect only R0_CONNECT, redundant mode: connect R0_CONNECT, when
IEC61850_COM is connected with CP Rack 0, otherwise connect R1_CONNECT)
QERR
QERR is set to “1” if any error occurs.
QERR_NO
QERR_NO delivers detailed error information. (Not yet supported)
QRACKF
QRACKF is set to “1”, if a RACK failure occurs
QPARF
QPARF is set to “1”, if plausibility check of connection parameters LADDR and CONN_ID
failed
QCOMF
QCOMF is set to “1”, in case of IEC61850 communication is not in state “ZYKLCOM”.
Communication error.
QB_CR_DS
If QB_CR_DS is set to “1” the DataSet with the name specified in DS_NAME could not be
created.
QB_EN_RP
IF QB_EN_RP is set to “1” writing the Report configuration failed. Reporting could not be
enabled.
Caution: if QB_EN_RP is set to “1”, all connected IEC_REPORT blocks will not work
properly
QSTATE
IEC 61850_COM is mainly organized with a state machine. QSTATE shows the current
state. If communication to the IEC 61850 device is established correctly, the function
block is running in state “ZYKLCOM” after initialization.
The following table lists the possible states
QSTATE PROG_STATE Description

0 'INIT' Initialization state to get parameter

3.9 UNI_RP60R20 (60 Reports + 20 Real values)
Picture 27 – UNI_RP60R20 and UNI_RP60R20_2 screenshot
The UNI_RP60R20 (FB555) block and its extension block UNI_RP60R20_2

(FB556) manages up to 60 Report tags and up to 20 Real value tags. The
advantage of this universal block over single report- and real-blocks is the
less time and effort for setting up the project. Only report values with BOOL
type are supported. BITSTRING values are not supported.
To use this block, the IEC 61850 device has to support the IEC61850 service
Report. Further a DataSet containing the tag (addressed with IEC_REP) has
to exist in the device. The DataSet name and its address for Reporting have
to be set in IEC61850_COM: RP_DSADDR. Furthermore enabling Reporting
has to be executed successfully. IEC61850_COM: QB_EN_RP has to be “0”
after initialization.
If you are using UNI_RP60R20 and UNI_RP60R20_2 together, you have to
connect the value of Output QALARM from the UNI_RP60R20_2 data block
(DB) to the input ALARM_2nd_BLK of the UNI_RP60R20 block (like shown in

picture 27).
In the following the most important inputs and outputs will be explained
detailed.

4. Troubleshooting
No Problem Possible Reason Solution
1. IEC61850_COM does not get into MODE: DATASET, some of the tag ad- Change mode into LIST, to see which tags keep QBAD
QSTATE “ZYKLCOM” dresses are not valid = “TRUE”. Check tag addresses with the IEC 61850
browser tool.
MODE: DATASET, DataSet modifica- Either check if static DataSet can be used. Set
tions are not supported with IEC DS_CONF_OP to “FALSE” and ensure your tag block
61850 deivce sequence is the same like your tag order in the exist-
ing DataSet.
Another possibility is to use “LIST” mode instead of
DATASET mode.
TIMEOUT or SAMPLE_T are not set Check TIMEOUT value. It’s the time the block waits for
properly a successful response to its requests. It should be at
minimum 1000ms. Running in LIST mode it should be
at minimum 2000ms
Check SAMPLE_T. It should represent the current scan
time / 100.
IEC61850 _COM block is placed in Ensure, the IEC61850_COM block is placed only in one
more than one cyclic OBs OB (e.g. OB35)
2. IEC_RD_XX tag QBAD = 1 Invalid IEC 61850 address string Check the address of your tag with the IEC61850
browser. Remember that in Step 7 the additional sign
“$” has to be replaced with “$$”
Further keep in mind, for IEC_ALARM, IEC_REPORT and
IEC_CTRL only the address including the IEC61850
object name has to be set. For all others the IEC
61850 attribute has to be added to the address.

IEC61850 Communication is not es- Check the IEC61850_COM block, if running in QSTATE
tablished = “ZYKLCOM”. If not, check its parameters.
IEC61850_COM IED_NAME does not Check IED name of IEC 61850 device
equal IEC61850 device name
3. IEC61850_COM QBLOCKS and QTAGS No RESET executed Changes to the tag configuration, like address change,
output does not fit to tag configuration adding tag blocks, removing tag blocks are taken over
with executing a RESET.
Execute a RESET
4. PLC Scan time exceeded Tag blocks are not executed in the To get a better performance of the PLC system, the tag
optimal OB blocks can be put in a lower numbered OB (e.g. OB34,
OB33, OB32) with bigger scan times (e.g. 200ms,
500ms, 1s)
With this method you can optimize your PLC system
5. Reporting does not work, no WinCC WinCC settings are not correct Please check, if your OS is updated and works with
messages your PLC programm. Check if all connections to the
PLC are established and working.
IEC_REP block should update the timestamp, after the
report was generated. (Compare IEC_REP timestamp
with tag timestamp get by IEC 61850 browser)
RP_EN_QB is set to “1” Something failed enabling Reporting with the Report
Control block. Check if your RP_DS_ADDR0/1 match
with DataSet address get by IEC 61850 browser.

Reporting was not activated with Please follow up the procedure described in
DIGSI System Configurator (using a A.Appendix 1.1 Report configuration with DIGSI if
SIPROTEC) using a SIPROTEC device. If using a different device
follow up the manual instructions to add a Report ap-
plication.
6. “ZYKLCOM” state is reached, but IEC61850_COM TIMEOUT to small Increase TIMEOUT value
IEC61850_COM block does not keep
this state; communication gets instable.
Table 29 - Troubleshooting IEC 61850 communication
A. Appendix
1.1 Report Configuration with DIGSI
A.1.1 Prearrangement
· Make sure, DIGSI is installed and your SIPROTEC device exists in the
Devices folder. If not, please install DigSi and then add the SIPROTEC
device to your Device Folder. The complete Device MLFB number is
necessary for this operation.
· Make sure, an IEC61850 Station exists in your Device Folder. If not:
right click in your Device Folder, select “Insert new Object” and then
“IEC61850 Station”
· Right click onto the IEC61850 Station. Select “Object Properties”
Go to the topic “Communicator”, select your device and execute
“Add”. Your device is now part of the IEC61850 station.
Press “Ok” and leave the Properties dialog.
Picture 12 - Adding a SIPROTEC device to the IEC61850 Station
· Double click onto the IEC61850 Station. DIGSI system configurator

will open. The new device can be found under “New devices”. You
can drag and drop the new device to the dedicated Subnet.
Picture 13 - DIGSI system configurator
A.1.2 Introduction Report Applications
If at least one IEC_REP block is used, a Report Application has to be created

in DIGSI. If you have a redundant setup, you have to create two Report Ap-
plication, one for each IEC61850_COM block instance. For every IEC_REP
block, one line with an interconnection has to be added to the Report Ap-
plication list. If you have two Report Applications you have to add the same
tags in the interconnection windows of each Report Application. The ad-
dress has to correspond to the tag address engineered on the IEC_REP block
in the CFC chart. The interconnection order is not relevant.
If you want to use Buffered Reporting, go to the Report Application proper-
ties and set “Buffer indications” to “Yes”.
Example:
In the CFC chart an IEC_REP block is configured with the address:

'CTRL/LLN0$$ST$$LEDRs'
The block is connected to a IEC61850_COM block with the IED_NAME:
IED_0031
Now a Report Application has to be created. Then an interconnection has to

be added with the source:
IED_0031/CTRL/LLN0/LEDRs
If more than one IEC_REP blocks are connected, for every IEC_REP block the
interconnection corresponding to the address configured in the CFC has to
be added to the Report Application.
A.1.3 Adding Report Applications
· Click on the “Link” symbol. The application view will open

· Right click on the IEC61850-Station and select “Add Report Applica-
tion”. If you’re using redundancy you have to add two Report Appli-
cation, one per CPU.
Picture 14 - Adding a Report Application
· After adding the Report Application, “Report Aplication X” appears

below IEC61850 Station.
Click onto the Report Application you created.
On the bottom at the left select the tag you want to add to the Re-
port Application and drag it to the Interconnections window.
e.g. IED_0031/CTRL/LLN0/LEDRs
Do this for all IEC61850_REP blocks, you added to the CFC.
Picture 15 - Adding Tags to the Report Application
· Please Save and download the settings to the siprotec.
After downloading to the Siprotec, you can inspect all changes on the de-
vice with the IEC61850 Browser tool. The Report Applications are now in-
stalled in the device and for each Report Application one DataSet has been
added automatically with the tags you have added into the interconnection
window of DIGSI.
If you’re using the library in redundant mode, you have to give address of
the Report Application, you can find in IEC61850 Browser tool, to the
RP_CTRL_AD0 and RP_CTRL_AD1 input parameter of IEC61850_REP block.
But because the DataSets for both Report Applications are identical, it is
only necessary to give one of the two created DataSets. Please configure
one of the both DataSets on the input parameter RP_DSADDR (see 2.2.1).
