To create the IEC 61850 description file:
1. Connect the relay to Easergy Pro.
2. On the Easergy Pro toolbar, select Tools > Export ICD/SCL file.
3. From the ICD file generation options, you can select whether the RCB names in the file contain indexes or not
(selecting RCB names with indexes means that in the ICD file, each RCB name includes an explicit two-digit index,
otherwise this index is assumed to be added by the client when referencing the RCB). The need for indexed or non-indexed
report control block names in the ICD file depends on the client system. In most cases, the indexes are not required in the
ICD file and are added by the client system.
4. You can also enable some features of the 61850 Edition 2 – normally, you can skip these. However, to be able to set up
GOOSE data exchange using a system configuration tool (for example SCD Editor), in SCL Generation Options, it is recommended
to select Edition 2: Not configured GOOSE network inputs. In this way, the ICD file informs the system configuration tool about the
GOOSE Subscriber capability of the relay.
5. After the selecting the desired features, click OK. The ICD file is generated and you are prompted to choose a directory and name for saving the ICD file.
