Report

In this tab of the IEC 61850 editor you create and parametrize buffered und unbuffered reports. A report transports the data, that are assigned to it, to the connected client in the event of a trigger. Each report a dataset must be assigned to.

‘Report’ tab

In section the created report control blocks (RCB) are listed. The following buttons are available:

• New: Create a new report control block.
• Delete: ‘Delete the selected report control block

In section you make general settings for the reporting configuration.

General settings

Setting possibility	Description
Buffersize	Buffer size of buffered reports (in bytes).
Name	Unique Report Block name within the logical node.
Description	Description of the report block
Integrity Period [ms]	Stealthy general interrogation. After this time the referenced dataset will be actuated. Time (ms) between two messages The messages are transferred cyclic, independent from other events.
Buffered	Enable / disable the report buffering. A buffered report stores the data, even if there’s no connection to the client. In the case of an unbuffered report, the messages will get lost, if there is no connection to the client.
Buffer Time [ms]	Buffer time is the amount of time that the server waits to transfer a report after a given event occurs. Events that occur during this time period are collected and then transferred as a batch. If the buffer time is 0, the telegram will be sent immediately. For example, if the buffer time 10s the telegram will be sent after this time period or when the value changes the second time.
Config Revision	Versioning is used to identify whether or not a member was deleted from a dataset or whether member order has changed. Such changes cause values to not be transferred, or cause values to be in a different location within the report. Such an event is communicated to the client with a new version number. Since all datasets are firmly defined, this identifier does not apply to the solution described here.
DataSet	Data set reference

Section is for the setting of the following options:

• General options: Control of the reporting behavior. An activated checkbox means, that the information is transferred by the message
• Buffered specific options: can be activated, if the option Buffered: (in section 2) is activated.
• Trigger options: Determining of attributes to select the events which may trigger a message.

If the checkbox is activated the information will be transferred by the message.

General options

Setting Possibility	Description
Send Config Revision	‘Config Revision’ information
Send Data Reference	Enable/disable to transfer the complete reference information, for example: LogicalDevice/GGIO1.ST.Mod.ctlNum
Send DataSet name	Enable/disable to transfer the dataset name
Send Reason for Inclusion	Enable/disable to transfer the reason of transmission for each attribute
Send Sequence Number	Enable/disable to transfer a unique sequence number for each message
Send Time Stamp	Enable/disable to transfer the timestamp of transmission for each message

Buffered specific options

Setting Possibility	Description
Send Entry ID	Enable/disable to transfer the ‘Entry ID’
Send Buffer overflow	Enable/disable to transfer the message if a buffer overflow occurs.

Trigger options

Setting Possibility	Description
Data Change	Enable/disable to trigger the report if a ‘data change’ event occured
Data Update	Enable/disable to trigger the report if a ‘data update’ event of an attribute occured.
Quality Chance	Enable/disable to trigger the report if a ‘quality change’ event of an attribute occured
Integrity	Enable/disable the cyclic transmission of the report independent of any datachanges (Stealthy general interrogation) . The time period has to be defined in the Integrity Period general setting.
