Devices tab card is used to define each lower lewel device communication parameters.

Device nr: Sequence number of the device (generates automatically)
Objects: Number of objects in the device (generates automatically)
Link address: Link address of the lower level device
ASDU address: ASDU address of the lower level device
ASDU address len: Length in bytes, possible values are 1 or 2
Object address len: Length in bytes, possible values are 1, 2 or 3
In use: Indicates whether the device is in use or not. If the device is not in use, the whole row has a grey background
Port: Port no. of Telem device to which the device is connected
Protocol SubVersion: Define Sub version of the protocol
Protocol: For information only. It is filled automatically according to the number of the used port, and protocol configured in current port..
Periodical Time Sync: Yes/No. If Yes, time synchronisation is sent to lower level device by Telem GW.
Time Sync Interval: interval when time synchronisation is sent to device.
GI Forwarding: Yes/No. General interrogation forwarding
Time Sync Forwarding: Yes/No. If Yes, the time synchronisation which is received from upper channel, it is forwarded to the device
Control takeover valid: Yes/No. Determines if control of the device can be taken over
Signals blocking obj. addr.^: The address of an object which determines blocking of all signals from that device. No signals are sent to control centre from that device.
  • the object must be determined under a virtual device in objects table
Load XML: Load XML file with object data to the device (IEC 61850)
BRCB Conf: Buffered report control block configuration
Comment: Description of devices

Adding devices
By clicking on the shortcut icon, a new device with default settings is added. It is also possible to add new devices with a right mouse click. Add Devices dialog box appears.

Set the Add Devices options:

  • Number of devices to add
  • Default settings or the device number from where the settings are derived
  • Copy Objects Also
  • Click the Add button.


Adding devices from template
User has the possibility to create personal device templates, also some templates are provided by Martem AS. Using template configuration may save a lot of time while configuring.
To create template, user first has to make configuration as needed. Then click on the arrow next to the "+" sign. Choose creat template and the parameters used in the template. When create template is clicked new template will appear in the template list.


Removing Devices
To remove a device, select Remove Devices from the extended control menu or click on the shortcut icon. Select the range of the removed devices and click the Remove or Remove All button. The selected devices objects are also removed.


Clearing Devices
To clear the Device Tab Card, select Clear from the extended control menu. A warning window always appears before removing all devices. Select Yes to accept or No to cancel the removal operation of the devices.

Load XML / IEC 61850
Load XML is used with IEC 61850 protocol. It is used to generate ICD file again or modify the configuration.

BRCB conf
Used to define RCB-s, and data sets in IEC61850 configuration more about that in following chapters.
