Identify the available source
Start from the approved IED IP address, the available CID/ICD/IID/SCD, or both. Preserve the original file and record the intended receiving system.
Use ARSAS to discover the complete live IED model, generate IID or ICD when the available vendor file is unusable, normalize bounded single-IED SCL, compare configured intent with runtime evidence, and isolate reporting or GOOSE mismatches before editing the target project.
Interoperability failures usually sit between three sources: the IED that is online, the engineering file that describes intended configuration, and the proprietary expectations of the receiving SAS or gateway.
Start from the approved IED IP address, the available CID/ICD/IID/SCD, or both. Preserve the original file and record the intended receiving system.
Inspect physical identity, full MMS domains, hierarchy, DataSets, RCBs, type information and service behavior actually exposed by the device.
Create IID or ICD from complete live discovery, or convert the opened source into a generic single-IED output while retaining findings and provenance.
Check RCB names, availability, DataSet membership, trigger options, APPID, VLAN, addresses, references, sequence behavior and ordered payload.
Import the bounded output, retain exact errors, and separate schema, identity, reference, reporting and proprietary importer problems before making changes.
A successful connection, generation or import does not prove full IEC 61850 conformance, interoperability with every vendor, project correctness or acceptance by another proprietary tool. Final FAT/SAT engineering validation remains required.
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.
