Specific embodiment
As shown in figure 1, a kind of iec61850 configuration software implementation method of intelligent substation bay device of the present invention,
Realized using the method that the file of several self-defining forms is combined with software program.Specifically include following steps:
1) file of three kinds of special formats of making:
1.1) interface according to iec61850 and parameter designing require to make udf file；
1.2) configuration file format that the attribute according to ied and iec61850 standard specify makes scl (based on xml technology
Substation Configuration Language) template file；
1.3) attribute according to ld (logical device) and ln (logical node) in scl template file makes iec file；
2) according to the iid file preserving in the attribute of equipment, order code, version number, equipment and step 1) in udf
File initialization apparatus pointer and interface parameter and generate the corresponding drop-down list of all parameters；
3) design according to udf file generates software interface；
4) in interface, configuration completes to click on after all parameters and preserves, and generates cid file and by institute according to scl template file
Some parameter configuration content updates are to the relevant position of cid file；
5) cid files passe to ied and is restarted, in restarting process, ied automatically loads this cid file and can obtain
New configuration；
Wherein, described udf file is the file of xml form, the entitled .xml of suffix；Described scl template file is xml
The file of form, the form requiring fully according to iec61850 makes, the entitled .xml of suffix；Described iec file is txt form
File, the entitled .txt of suffix；The instrument at described Software for producing interface is visual studio 2003, using c++ language,
Realized based on mfc.
The present invention is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and detailed description.
The structure of udf file, as shown in Figure 2.
Udf file adopts xml form, is divided into three parts: enumeration type part, data definition part and INTERFACE DESIGN
Part.Enumeration type part defines enumerated value and its meaning of all enumeration types needed for data and each type；Data
Definitional part defines all data and its attribute that software interface comprises, such as id, title, type, maximum, minima,
Default value, unit etc.；The structure of INTERFACE DESIGN part is completely identical with the display structure of software interface, including interface tree construction,
The concrete data that interface title and each interface comprise.This self-defining file format is very clear, readable strong, if
Need the data that data, deletion interface or interface that modification software interface content, such as interpolation interface or interface comprise comprise, only
Part can be easy to maintenance it is not necessary to modification software code accordingly to need modification file.
17 enumerated data types are defined altogether, 39468 numbers are according to this and 388 softwares circle in udf file in Fig. 2
Face.
The structure of iec file, as shown in Figure 3.
All ln and its do, the attribute of da in iec document definition scl template file, including title, prefix, state value,
Default value etc., for parsing scl template file.
Open the handling process of software interface, as shown in Figure 4.
The first step, according to order code, version number's initialization apparatus of equipment, sets including initialization apparatus pointer, establishment
Standby internal memory maps, determines equipment ln number, send data set list according to iec file generated goose, generate flex logic operation
Ordered series of numbers table etc..
Second step, all data in loading udf file are in internal memory, and generate software circle according to the definition of udf file
Face corresponding internal memory mapping.
3rd step, determines whether online mode, if online mode is just directly read using ftp agreement from equipment
Iid file, if offline mode just automatically generates equipment corresponding iid file using scl template file.
4th step, parses iid file obtained in the previous step according to iec file content, will parse the file content obtaining more
Newly arrive corresponding device memory mapping and the mapping of interface internal memory, then the value of interface internal memory mapping is saved in mmvalue.dat
In file.
5th step, initializers interface, load the content of mmvalue.dat file, after the completion of initialization, show software
Interface.
Software interface, as shown in Figure 5.The interface left side is tree construction, shows the institute that this tree node comprises after click on the right
There is configuration data.Data is divided into two row, first row video data title, secondary series video data value, and data value can be repaiied
Change.On interface row distributed four buttons, respectively execution preserve configuration data value, restoring data value, setting data default value with
And reset data value function.
All of configuration data can preserve after being provided with, and preserves the handling process of configuration data, as shown in Figure 6.
The first step, clicks on the save button on software interface.
Second step, the numerical value after configuring is updated device memory mapping and the corresponding internal memory of software interface reflects on interface
Penetrate.
3rd step, if online mode, iid file exists, by iid archive；If offline mode uses scl
Template file automatically generates iid file.
4th step, the value during corresponding for software interface internal memory is mapped updates corresponding in the iid file that previous step generates
Position, that is, generate cid file.
5th step, upload cid file restarting equipment to after equipment, equipment automatically parse cid file can obtain up-to-date
Configuration.
In a word, the iec61850 configuration software implementation method of a kind of intelligent substation of present invention bay device, using several
Plant the processing mode that the file of special format is combined with software program；File uses user-defined format, for describing ginseng in detail
Number attribute and software interface, software program is used for processing internal logic, Software for producing interface and generates and meet iec61850 standard
Scl file, wall protection equipment loads this file and can complete parameter configuration；Finally develop a iec61850 configuration
Software, is capable of the iec61850 parameter of flexible configuration intelligent substation intermediate interlayer protection equipment, have easy to maintenance, run steady
Calmly, the performance such as flexible configuration, easy to use, transplanting convenience.
The above, the only present invention preferably specific embodiment, but protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto,
Any those familiar with the art in the technical scope of present disclosure, the change or replacement that can readily occur in,
All should be included within the scope of the present invention.Therefore, protection scope of the present invention should be with the protection model of claims
Enclose and be defined.
