This document provides a quick introduction to some common applications performed with IEDScout and some tips to optimize the work with IEDScout.

1 Requirements and Setup

1.1 System Requirements

• A physical computer with x86 or x64 architecture (no virtual machine) • Windows XP SP2 and above (32 bit only),

Windows Vista any SP level (32 bit only) or Windows 7 any SP level (32 bit and 64 bit) operating system

• Administrator or Power User rights for the installation • A free USB port for the USB license key • An Ethernet adapter with TCP/IP protocol bound to it

Note: Wireless adapters typically do not work with GOOSE/GSSE • If a firewall is present, port 102 must be opened

1.2 Installation On executing the setup program of IEDScout, the installer will start up: Follow the instructions provided during the installation procedure.

1.3 Prerequisites

Network Settings Before starting work with IEDScout, the network settings on the PC have to be configured properly. It is assumed that the user has administrator or power user rights for changing the network settings. The network adapter must be enabled and must have a valid IP address.

IEDScout To use the full featured IEDScout, the USB license key has to be plugged into a USB port; otherwise IEDScout will run in evaluation mode. In the GGOOOOSSEE Tab of the IEDScout configuration, the network adapter for GOOSE must be selected in the field AAddaapptteerr; the same steps are needed for GSSE. IEDScout only displays adapters that are able to send and receive GOOSE/GSSE messages.

Multiple Network Adapters To avoid problems due to other programs that also use port 102 (e.g. Microsoft Outlook with Exchange server), IEDScout must be set to use a specific adapter (a specific IP address): In the RFC1006 tab of the IEDScout Configuration window, the LLooccaall IIPP must be set to the IP address of the interface to be used for connecting to the IEDs. When the PC running IEDScout has only one network interface, the LLooccaall IIPP may be left at the default value "0.0.0.0".

2 Examples

2.1 Discovering and Browsing an IED

Defining the IED A new IED is added with the NNeeww Button in the SSeerrvveerrss tab of the CCoonnffiigguurraattiioonn window.

A name for the new device must be specified (e.g. "Q0_S"), along with the IP address. In this example the IED's IP address is 192.168.0.77. If a similar device is already present, the option UUssee eexxiissttiinngg sseerrvveerr ddeeffiinniittiioonn is useful. In this case only the parameters that differ between the two server definitions have to be changed.

Figure 1 Defining the IED (Create new Server)

The parameters needed to connect to a device should be specified in the documentation for the IED. Usually the IP address is sufficient to connect to an IED. If special parameters need to be set, the AAddvvaanncceedd Button will reveal all available options.

IEDScout Examples

Discovering the IED The DDiissccoovveerr button offers a list of servers to connect to. Pick the new server and the SSeerrvveerr QQuueerryy PPrrooggrreessss window will open.

IEDScout now reads the self-description of the IED. It discovers the data model of the IED and then reads the actual values contained in the data. Depending on the size of the data model, the speed of the connection, and the server, this may take more than a minute. IEDScout creates a new server section for the discovered IED on the main screen. Double click on the subsections of the IED provides access to all the services that the IED supports. E. g. double clicking on DDaattaa opens the DDaattaa VViieeww, which will be explained later. Additionally, Datasets and all Control Blocks (GOOSE, Reports, Logs, Sampled Values) can be accessed from here. Right click on the light blue colored root of the IED allows the user to DDiissccoonnnneecctt or DDeelleettee the server.

Figure 2 Connected to "Q0_S"

The status of the connection to the IED is indicated with the following icons:

– Shows whether the loaded IED is connected (green) or disconnected (gray)

– The IED has been discovered

– The IED definition has been loaded from an SCL file (will be explained below)

IEDScout Examples

7

Browsing the IED When one of the logical devices in the Main screen is double-clicked, the DDaattaa VViieeww will open. It is divided into two panes. The nesting depth in the left pane is limited to the LD level and gives an overview of the IEDs and their top level structure. This pane is especially useful for quickly navigating between IEDs when multiple devices are loaded. The right pane is for inspecting the IEDs' data models in detail, down to the attribute level.

Figure 3 Data View with "Q0_S" loaded

The data tree shows the different types of objects with different icons: • – The server (IED), the root of the data tree • – Logical Device • – Logical Node • – Functional Constraint • – Data Object • – Data Attributes, the leafs of the tree

The DDaattaa VViieeww uses colors to signalize the status and the information source of the data.

• – Initial value, the value has not yet been updated • – The value has been retrieved by a read command • – Data has changed within a report • – Data has been updated by a report General Interrogation (GI) • – Value comes from periodic reporting • – This value has just been written

A context menu opens when a selected data item is right-clicked with the mouse. The context menu offers various functions to be performed with the item, such as RReeaadd, WWrriittee, PPoolllliinngg, etc. Depending on the selected item (context), some functions which do not apply to that item will be disabled (grayed out).

2.2 Working with SCL Files IEDScout provides useful features with SCL. An SCL file can be created from a discovered IED. If an SCL file with definitions of an IED is provided, the connection and browsing process can be facilitated.

Saving an SCL File This function is typically used to produce an ICD file for a discovered IED. There are several usages of this SCL file: support further re-connection to the device, import of GOOSE definitions by the GOOSE Configuration module of the OMICRON Test Universe, Simulating of the IED, etc. The SSaavvee SSCCLL function is accessible from the main screen via the toolbar or the File menu.

The SSaavvee SSCCLL window opens. First, the server is selected in the "Server" list. Specifying the IIEEDD NNaammee is mandatory and essential to get a correct SCL file. The IED discovery process delivers the IED Name and the LD names concatenated together without delimiters. In the SCL file, these two names need to be stored separately. To split IED Name and LD names correctly, the IED Name has to be known. IEDScout tries to guess the IED Name, which succeeds when sufficiently different LD names are contained in the server. If there is only one LD in the server or if the LD names do not differ at the first character, IEDScout cannot make a correct guess. In this case, the user must provide the correct IED Name. In any case, the IED Name is not arbitrary and must at least match the leading characters of the (IED Name + LD name) string delivered by the IED.

Figure 4 Save SCL window

Other information as IIEEDD TTyyppee, MMaannuuffaaccttuurreerr and CCoonnffiiggVVeerrssiioonn are optional. As far as possible, IEDScout will correct deviations from the standard in the discovered data model to create a conformant SCL file. Corrections are listed in the "Results:" list. When storing the SCL file, information about the meanings of attributes of type "Enum" is added. The default source for this information is the file "enums.dat". While DDiissccoovveerr delivers only the ordinal integer values for enumerators, the meanings are displayed in text form when connecting to the device using an SCL file (see the next example).

IEDScout Examples

Connecting Using an SCL File When connecting using an SCL file, no parameters have to be specified and the connection operation is much faster because the data model will not be requested from the server.

Opening the SCL File

An SCL file (.icd, .scd, .cid) is opened by selecting the OOppeenn SSCCLL function from the toolbar or the FFiillee menu in the main screen.

It is also possible to drag-and-drop an SCL file onto the Main screen of IEDScout. A tree view with all servers in the SCL file is displayed. The tree can be expanded to a certain level to examine the devices offered. A selection specifies which server's data are actually loaded into IEDScout. IEDScout creates new server sections for the selected servers on the main screen, just as if they were found through a DDiissccoovveerr process.

Connecting If the addressing (for example the IP address) of the server has changed since the SCL file was created, according modifications can be made by double-clicking on AAddddrreessss. A connection is then established by simply clicking CCoonnnneecctt in the right click popup menu of the light blue IED root node. Connecting to a server by using its SCL file speeds up the process considerably, since the discovery of the data model structure is not necessary. This information is already delivered by the SCL file. The actual data can then be read with the RReeaadd DDaattaa function in the context menu of the IED or by using the RReeaadd function (from the context menu of a data item) in the DDaattaa VViieeww. Additionally, the SCL file contains information about the meanings of attributes of type "Enum". This information is then displayed in text form along with the ordinal values for enumerators.

2.3 Polling Data Data to be polled are collected in the PPoolllliinngg window. All polled data can be viewed together in one place. This is especially convenient when data from different IEDs are to be observed together, which would not be simultaneously visible in the data view. The Polling Window opens as soon as a data object or attribute is added for polling. Adding data items is done in the DDaattaa VViieeww by focusing an item (DO or DA) and selecting PPoollll from the context menu or by dragging & dropping items from the DDaattaa VViieeww to the PPoolllliinngg window. Items can be individually removed by using the context menu in the PPoolllliinngg window.

Figure 5 Polling Window with data

All data are polled with the same rate. The polling interval can be selected from preset values. The green dot on the toolbar flashes when the data are polled. If polling is paused, the data can be refreshed manually.

2.4 Working with Reports

Enabling a Report To enable a report from the device, a report control block (RCB) must be selected. This is done by browsing the object model in the Data View and setting the focus on a RCB. The context menu then offers the function EEnnaabbllee. The values in the RCB that are changed by IEDScout by this action are then marked in purple.

Figure 6 Data tree with enabled report (purple)

Depending on the trigger options, the server will then send the reports to IEDScout. The updated data will be marked red in the data tree.

General Interrogation When the report control block is enabled (as mentioned before) and the trigger option allows a general interrogation, the GGII function triggers a report that is sent regardless of the other trigger conditions.

2.5 Subscribing and Recording GOOSE IEDScout provides four different methods to subscribe to a GOOSE.

Subscribing using GOOSE Control Blocks

Subscribing by the Control Blocks displayed in the Main Screen

The Main screen lists all available GOOSE Control Blocks (GCBs) of the IED. When one is double-clicked, the GCB detail window opens. The menu bar has a SSuubbssccrriibbee button.

Figure 7 Subscribing from the GOOSE Control Block detail view

On pressing the SSuubbssccrriibbee button, the GOOSE Subscription Window opens and the GOOSE is displayed in detail.

Figure 8 Subscribed GOOSE

All subscription actions lead to the GOOSE Subscription Window or can be initiated from there (see further examples).

IEDScout Examples

12

Subscribing by the Control Blocks displayed in the Data View

With the focus on a GOOSE Control Block (GCB), the context menu (accessible via right-click) offers the function SSuubbssccrriibbee GGCCBB. Selecting this function will automatically set up a GOOSE subscription.

Figure 9 Subscription using a GOOSE Control Block

Accessing VLAN Information The GOOSE subscription also shows the VLAN information in the "Network" branch, but IEDScout can only do so if the Ethernet packets received actually contain such a VLAN tag. Until a few years ago, network components were not aware of VLANs and just passed on the entire Ethernet packets unmodified. Today, modern network equipment is becoming more and more "VLAN aware" and behaves accordingly. VLANs are primarily an issue of network management, so VLANs are primarily handled in Ethernet switches and the VLAN tags are not intended to be processed by the end devices. Consequently, network components (switches, adapters, drivers) may strip the VLAN tags from the Ethernet packets. It depends on several factors if and where VLAN tags are stripped, but with the development of the networking components, it becomes less likely that

applications such as IEDScout will even get the VLAN tags delivered for display and further analysis. Only in specific cases it is possible to get the VLAN tags actually delivered. There are few helpful materials on this, the few ones can be found by submitting an internet search for "capture vlan" or similar. Given the situation as described above, the VLAN information is more likely to be shown as "No VLAN tag".

GOOSE Sniffing The GOOSE Sniffer can be started from the GGOOOOSSEE SSuubbssccrriippttiioonn window or the AAccttiioonn menu of the Main window. It finds all GOOSE messages arriving at the GOOSE adapter (as specified in the Configuration dialog). These GOOSEs can then be subscribed with the SSuubbssccrriibbee button. Various other functions are accessible from the context menu of a GOOSE entry.

Transferring GOOSE Information to Configure a CMC Test Set The GOOSE Sniffer also supports Drag & Drop or Copy & Paste to the OMICRON Test Universe GOOSE Configuration Module to subscribe/simulate GOOSEs with the CMC test set.

Drag & Drop or Copy & Paste

Figure 10 Transferring a data from the GOOSE Sniffer to the GOOSE Configuration Module

Subscribing Manually Additionally, a GOOSE can be subscribed "from scratch" without using the IED's data model and access to the control blocks. All relevant GOOSE parameters must be known and specified manually. This can be done in GGOOOOSSEE SSuubbssccrriippttiioonnss with the SSuubbssccrriibbee button. The GOOSE parameters have to be entered in the opening subscription dialog.

Figure 11 Subscribing manually by specifying parameters

GOOSE Recording IEDScout has a powerful function for recording GOOSE traffic. Complex relations between data in multiple GOOSEs can be analyzed this way. The data are recorded into COMTRADE files which can be analyzed in several viewer applications. OMICRON TransView may be available for this purpose if the OMICRON Test Universe software (with EnerLyzer) is installed. The name template defines the location where the COMTRADE records are stored and the base file name. Incrementing numbers are appended to the filenames for further recordings.

Figure 12 GOOSE Recording Window

The OOppeenn function will launch the application associated with the COMTARDE configuration files (CFG file extension) to view the COMTRADE files. When using OMICRON TransView, the maximum recording time is limited to approximately 35 minutes with a µs resolution. Data attributes to be included in the recording need the checkmark next to them checked. Normally, only state changes are recorded. When the sequence number (SqNum) is included, all retransmits will be recorded as well. Trigger conditions can be set up with attributes selected for recording.

2.6 Simulating GOOSE The GOOSE message to be created for the example shall have the following properties:

GOOSE Parameters GOOSE Control Reference: IEDScout/LLN0$GO$Eval

Dataset Reference: IEDScout/LLN0$Eval_DataSet

GOOSE ID: GOOSEID

Application ID: 0x3FFF

Multicast MAC Address: 01:0C:CD:01:01:FF

Retransmission: First Interval: 1000ms, Multiplier: 2, Max Interval: 8000ms, default strategy

Data: Boolean; Integer; BitString[4]

Creating a GOOSE Open the GGOOOOSSEE OOuuttppuutt view by selecting GGOOOOSSEE SSiimmuullaattiioonnss from the toolbar.

Create a new GOOSE with AAdddd GGOOOOSSEE. In the Destination MAC address field specify the last two bytes of 01 0C CD 01 01 FF. The initial data must be entered in the DDaattaa field. For this example, "{False, 0, [1000]}" is the initial data. The data can also be edited with the …… button next to the Data field. The other fields are filled out according to the parameters given above: GGooIIDD: "GOOSEID" GGccRReeff: "IEDScout/LLN0$GO$Eval" DDaattSSeett: "IEDScout/LLN0$Eval_DataSet". Set the AppID and the VLAN parameters with the Advanced button at the Advanced Addressing Window. The strategy can be changed through the SSttrraatteeggyy button. For this example, the defaults are used.

Creating a GOOSE Sequence The data shall change every second between four different states:

Step 1: {False, 0, [1000]}

Step 2: {True, 1, [0100]}

Step 3: {False, 2, [0010]}

Step 4: {True, 3, [0001]}

With the IInnsseerrtt SStteepp button, four steps are inserted. The DDeellaayy field is set to 1000ms on all steps. The corresponding data are specified in the data fields. The GOOSE will be published as soon the setup is confirmed with OOKK on the EEddiitt GGOOOOSSEE//GGSSSSEE window.

2.7 Analyzing Client/Server Communication

General The client/server (C/S) communication is a generic term for the "Two Party Application Association" (TPAA), which is one of the abstract communication services (ACSI) defined in IEC 61850-7-2. In a substation, the client is typically the station controller and the server is typically an IED such as a protection relay and the C/S communication is mainly used for the classical SCADA data exchange. In the context of IEC 61850, the term "MMS" is often used when C/S is actually meant. But in fact MMS (Manufacturing Message Specification, ISO 9506) is just the specific transport protocol used to perform the C/S communication. The specific communication service mapping (SCSM) of the abstract communication services to the MMS protocol is described in IEC 61850-8-1, which also contains the mapping of the GOOSE service to Ethernet. C/S communication could also be performed over alternate transport protocols, e.g. Web-Services, which are actually considered for certain applications like wind power generation.

Accessing Client/Server Traffic There is a significant difference between GOOSE and C/S communication. GOOSE is an Ethernet (network layer) multicast traffic (MCAA: Multicast Application Association). Unless dedicated filters are set up, the Ethernet switches will replicate a received GOOSE and forward it to all connected links. So any device can receive a GOOSE without further efforts. With C/S communication, this is different. The C/S communication is performed over explicitly established connections between the client and the server. The data packets are forwarded as unicast traffic, and that means that the corresponding Ethernet packets are only forwarded on those links that actually establish the path between the involved end points (the client and the server). Without special precautions, an analysis tool like the IEDScout, connected to an arbitrary port on an Ethernet switch, will not receive the packets to be analyzed. There are two means of accessing unicast traffic: taps and mirror ports. A tap is a device that is inserted into a network link and that replicates the traffic going over the link to additional ports, from where it can be received for further processing. A mirror port can be typically found on managed Ethernet switches and this port can be configured to replicate the traffic from specified other ports on the switch, similar as if a tap was used. So for receiving C/S communication with IEDScout, the access to the traffic of interest must be first established as indicated above. For capturing the C/S traffic that is caused by IEDScout itself in its role as a client, there are no special precautions necessary as this traffic is anyway accessible for IEDScout. IEDScout obtains the C/S traffic from the same network adapter that is selected for GOOSE.

ACSI Sniffer The AACCSSII SSnniiffffeerr is accessed via the toolbar from the main screen.

The function captures not only the messages related to the C/S traffic, but also the GOOSE messages, so these two ACSI services are covered together. To get a better overview and for easier understanding, dedicated views for specific kinds of traffic/messages are provided on the ACSI level. To investigate the traffic in more detail, drilling down to lower protocol layers (MMS and Ethernet) is also possible. The figure on the right shows how the top level ACSI services (defined in IEC 61850-7-2) relate with the layers below. The mapping of the C/S services to MMS (which itself uses TCP/IP) and the mapping of GOOSE directly to Ethernet is defined in IEC 61850-8-1.

IEDScout Examples

18

Views and Functions The CClliieenntt//SSeerrvveerr ++ GGOOOOSSEE view shows the C/S messages and the GOOSE messages together. This view gives insight in the course of actions where C/S requests and responses and GOOSEs depend on each other. In this regard, this is more than just an event list. The top half of the list of events below was captured from the execution of a switch command (with SBO) on an XCBR. When the switching happens, the course of the CB status is published via GOOSE and when the CB has entered its new state, reports are generated.

At about half down the list, the CB is tripped via a GOOSE (e.g. published by a protection relay), the change of the CB status is again published via GOOSE and reports are sent to the client. By default, only GOOSE status changes are displayed. If desired, the display of GOOSE retransmissions can be enabled by checking RReettrraannssmmiissssiioonnss in the toolbar. This is a simple (and thus very fast) display filter that suppresses any GOOSEs with a sequence number other than zero. Be aware that if the first GOOSE with a new status (the one with sequence number zero) is missing for some reason, the status change will not be visible at all when repetitions are not shown. There is no further detection of the status changes from analyzing the status numbers. The two kinds of communication can be separately viewed in the CClliieenntt//SSeerrvveerr and GGOOOOSSEE views. The RReeppoorrtt view is provided for convenience. This frequently used filtered view can be accessed in the dedicated tab without the need to use the filter function.

IEDScout Examples

19

Search and Filter

In any view, search and filter functions are available. A toolbar with input fields for search and filter strings are displayed at the bottom of the list.

The SSeeaarrcchh function does not alter the amount of the displayed entries, but allows finding and stepping through all occurrences of the search string.

The FFiilltteerr function limits the amount of the displayed messages to those containing the filter string.

The string matching is case insensitive and works on all text strings (path names, time stamps, ...) that are displayed in the different columns, even if the string is in a collapsed sub-tree that is not currently visible.

For example, filtering for "report" in the C/S view would result in a similar (not exactly the same!) display as the RReeppoorrtt view provides.

Details of C/S Traffic

C/S communication is mostly confirmed (only unsolicited reports are unconfirmed), so the traffic mainly consists of request/response sequences. IEDScout detects requests and responses that belong to each other and groups them together.

When expanding an entry in a C/S view, this grouping of the request and the associated response becomes visible. In the figure below this is shown for the operate command.

IEDScout Examples

20

Drilling Down In any view, a drill down to the underlying protocol layer is possible to obtain more details. When drilling down from a C/S view to investigate the transactions on the MMS layer, all messages belonging to the selected C/S transaction are highlighted in the MMMMSS view with a light yellow color. This will reveal for instance, that a single request/response pair of the C/S layer can consist of multiple MMS messages. The scope of messages belonging to an ACSI transaction cannot always be determined with absolute precision, so the highlighted range may contain some excess messages.

More details on the MMS transactions can be seen when further expanding the entries. The EExxppaanndd ssuubbttrreeee and CCoollllaappssee ssuubbttrreeee functions are most useful with MMS, because the nesting can be rather deep with this protocol. The EEtthheerrnneett view shows the individual Ethernet packets with only few details. To provide a focused view, only packets belonging to IEC 61850 C/S and GOOSE communication are listed.

IEDScout Examples

21

Exporting Data and Analysis with External Protocol Software At any level, an ultimate drill down can be achieved by exporting all Ethernet packets belonging to a selected scope to a PCAP file for further analysis. When choosing DDuummpp && AAnnaallyyzzee, a temporary file will be created and the associated application for PCAP files will be launched to open this file. In most cases this will be the popular Wireshark network analyzer SW. If persistent saving of the dumped packets is required, they must be explicitly saved out of the network analyzer. Another option is to save the data from IEDScout, using the function SSaavvee aass PPCCAAPP. In this case, a path and a name for the PCAP file have to be specified. No automatic launching of a further application takes place in this case. All the export functions process only the displayed entries in each view, so the filter settings apply. For documentation purposes, the content of the view can be also exported in text format by using the TTeexxtt ttoo CClliippbbooaarrdd and SSaavvee aass TTeexxtt functions. These data can be viewed and further processed in any text editor.
