configuration contains errors, the error printout can still be found from the
notification window and the used status codes are the same as with the system
configuration tool. The status codes are listed in a separate MicroSCADA Pro
manual ‘Status Codes’.
2.6.2. IEC 61850
The IEC 61850 related process communication unit is an Windows executable,
which has been automatically installed during the SYS 600 software installation.
Before any actual IEC 61850 process communication occurs from the set of IEC
61850 IED's (i.e. process devices) into SYS 600 process database, there is a need to
configure each of the IEC 61850 process communication units to represent the
certain part of the underlying process devices. This is made by using the tools
included into SYS 600 software, see IEC 61850 System Design manual, chapter
Configuration. At run-time, each configured IEC 61850 process communication
unit is called an instance. Each of these instances can be seen that the corresponding
opcs_iec61850.exe process is running.
The actual IEC 61850 protocol communication occurs over the physical TCP/IP
network. However depending on the selected configuration, different TCP/IP
network related hardware and software has been installed and configured
accordingly before the complete verification of the IEC 61850 system configuration
can be done, see IEC 61850 System Design manual, chapter Requirements.
2.7. Installing peripher al equipment
2.7.1. Installing printers
Printers are used for automatic event and alarm print, and for operator initiated hard
copy. For hard copy, the hard copy functions of eXceed or Windows can be used
without any configuration measures in MicroSCADA Pro. On the other hand, the
automatic event and alarm print requires that the printers are connected to
MicroSCADA Pro. These printers can also be used for MicroSCADA Pro initiated
hard copy. The installation descriptions below apply to the printers used by
MicroSCADA Pro. Regarding the installation of Windows hard copy devices, refer
to the Windows and the printer manuals.
A MicroSCADA Pro printer can be connected in the following ways:
*
Directly to a base system computer, through the parallel port or a serial port.
*
To a LAN via a printer server.
*
Communication unit (NET, serial type connection)
2.7.1.1. Connecting printers to the base system
Printers connected to a NET unit can be made accessible to all base systems in the
entirely distributed MicroSCADA Pro system. A printer connected directly to a base
system can also be used by other base systems on the LAN. The printer has to be
