IEC 61850 FAT testing with evidence matched to the approved procedure.

Choose the dedicated IO List path when an approved SDI test sheet already defines the indications. Choose general IEC 61850 testing for complete model discovery, reporting, GOOSE, command outcomes, file access and broader integration investigation.

Choose FAT / IO List Testing

The test procedure already contains the digital indications.

  • Import the approved ARSAS workbook
  • Show only imported IEDs and SDI points
  • Bind each point to live IEC 61850 evidence
  • Reject initial ON and reconnect images as edges
  • Export Excel, PDF or portable .arsas
Choose General IEC 61850 Testing

The task requires broader service investigation.

  • Discover the complete live MMS model
  • Select values and validate BRCB/URCB acquisition
  • Inspect GOOSE and station-bus evidence
  • Retrieve disturbance records
  • Review guarded control and SCL output
General FAT workflow

Move from endpoint access to witnessed service evidence.

Adapt the sequence to the approved FAT procedure and project responsibilities.

01

Connect and discover

Add the approved endpoint, establish MMS association and inspect the live hierarchy, DataSets, RCBs and control model.

02

Select the FAT signals

Choose status, measurement, quality and timestamp points required by the test sheet instead of mapping the entire IED blindly.

03

Validate acquisition

Prefer configured reporting, verify exact DataSet membership and keep unsupported or unavailable coverage visible.

04

Inspect GOOSE and control

Check stream identity and sequence evidence, then execute only approved Direct or SBO operations with visible completion results.

05

Confirm files and diagnostics

Probe available fault records and retain communication, report, frame and service outcomes with the originating IED.

ARSAS IEC 61850 live values used during factory acceptance testing

Keep evidence attributable to the tested IED

Whether the session starts from an IO List or manual signal selection, review identity, object reference, value, quality, timestamp and acquisition source together.

Useful for

Protection and substation automation FAT.

  • SDI IO List indication proof
  • Relay and bay-controller communication checks
  • BRCB and URCB behavior
  • GOOSE publishing and subscription evidence
  • Direct and SBO control validation
  • Disturbance-record file access
Boundary

FAT acceptance remains procedural.

ARSAS does not replace calibrated injection equipment, protection-function testing, approved drawings, settings review, cybersecurity controls, witness sign-off, digital signatures or vendor responsibility. IO List FAT is available on current mainline; verify the stable release scope before use.

Verified stable release · ARSAS 1.6.33

Download the release-grade IEC 61850 workstation for Windows.

The current stable build includes Rev.3 IO List FAT import, an executive AS TESTED evidence report, a loaded Engineering/FAT workspace session, and direct receive-only GOOSE plus bounded SMV capture from each IED card.

Use the installer for a normal workstation, choose the portable single EXE for an approved no-install deployment, and verify the published SHA-256 before use.
