7 Recommended Troubleshooting tools
ITT SA Explorer
Integrated testing tool ITT600 SA Explorer (manufactured by ABB) s designed for easy diag-
nosis and troubleshooting of IEC 61850-based substation automation systems and applica-
tions.
The ITT600 SA Explorer can be divided in five main parts:
Explore IEDs enables the user to either browse SCL file contents or retrieving the IEC 61850
related configuration from any compliant IED over the network. Its full-fledged IEC 61850 cli-
ent allows to do various operations on multiple IEDs in parallel. Additionally, it provides the
functionality to simulate one IED of the loaded SCL file.
Explore Ethernet is an easy to use protocol analyzer that supports SA related protocols. It
can present the transmitted IEC 61850 data in a user readable form, without having a deep
knowledge about the protocols. This functionality simplifies troubleshooting of communica-
tion problems significantly.
Explore Models enables the user to compare SCL related data. It does not matter whether
two SCL compatible files or online data are compared. This functionality again simplifies
troubleshooting because every configuration can be compared against a reference.
Explore GOOSE visualizes GOOSE data in an Oscilloscope style. Several individual Data Attrib-
utes sent in GOOSE frames can easily be compared and measured. This enables faster debug-
ging and comprehension of distributed application logic using GOOSE.
Explore SV visualizes IEC 61850-9-2 LE data streams using a polar chart. Two different data
streams can easily be visualized and compared at the same time. The Oscilloscope view
shows current and voltage trends, allowing the user to inspect the content of each SMV
packet.
