Start from the approved IO List.
Import SDI points, bind them to one live IED, require OFF → ON → OFF evidence, and export Excel, native PDF or a portable .arsas project.

IEC 61850 guidance for real project blockers and repeatable FAT evidence.
Search troubleshooting guides by symptom, service, object or error. For a planned SDI campaign, open the dedicated IO List FAT evidence guide. Filtering is performed locally and search text is not sent to a server or analytics event.
Keep the problem attributable.
Separate association, MMS service, report, sequence, frame, IO-test continuity and IED-behavior evidence before changing configuration.
Start from the failure evidence.
Use the filter below for connection, reporting, GOOSE, file, SCL and control problems without forcing an unrelated configuration change.
Troubleshooting library
Choose the symptom you are investigating.
Each technical guide gives an immediate answer, common causes, a bounded diagnostic path, ARSAS evidence and a clear engineering limitation.
IEC 61850 reporting is silent
Connection works, but BRCB or URCB values never arrive.
Open guideBRCB vs URCB
Choose and diagnose buffered versus unbuffered reporting.
Open guideRCB reserved or occupied
Understand ownership, reservation and safe next checks.
Open guideEmpty DataSet
Explain why a report control block exists but carries no useful members.
Open guidePort 102 connection failed
Separate routing, firewall, endpoint and application-layer causes.

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.
