Current beta.6 capability map

From virtual test set to protection, process bus, transformer, and AVR evidence.

ARVREL separates signal source, virtual wiring, relay acquisition, protection logic, external TESTSET timing, process-bus trust, transformer engineering, and virtual control authority so each result can be explained.

Closed-loop feeder laboratory

Secondary injection with external virtual-I/O timing.

Source and wiring

Editable 4I+4V + virtual terminals

Configured RMS magnitude/angle sources drive instantaneous waveforms through explicit virtual analog wiring to relay terminals.

Relay front end

Causal acquisition

Signed terminal samples pass clipping, 16-bit-equivalent quantization, 1.5 ms behavioral delay, and a one-cycle rolling DFT on a 4 kHz grid.

TESTSET metrology

1 µs clock · 10 kHz BI

Independent binary inputs sample at 100 µs with separate 0.5 ms deglitch and zero debounce holdoff in the default profile.

External trip authority

Accepted TESTSET BI1 owns measured trip and optional auto-stop. Internal relay trip state is never a direct TESTSET shortcut.

Generic pickup authority

TESTSET BI2 represents wired ANY PICKUP and is explicitly distinct from the pickup of the element that ultimately operates.

One-click re-arm

RESET settles stale causal acquisition, clears relay state once, releases contacts/BI inputs, preserves frozen evidence, and reports READY TO RE-ARM only after the postcondition.

Process bus

Inspect live and recorded IEC 61850 Sampled Values.

Acquisition

Live Npcap capture

Select an authorized Windows adapter and inspect laboratory Sampled Values traffic.

Reproducibility

PCAP / PCAPNG replay

Replay captured frames for repeatable analysis, teaching, regression, and FAT/SAT preparation.

Engineering identity

SCL-assisted binding

Review APPID, destination MAC, VLAN, svID, dataset, confRev, channel mapping, scaling provenance, quality, and continuity.

Feeder protection

Evaluate implemented multifunction elements.

Transformer Differential

Internal two-sided injection and paired-SV engineering.

87T / 87T-HS / REF

Generic dual-slope restrained differential, high-set differential, REF HV, and REF LV with independent neutral/NGR evidence.

Security and compensation

H2/H5 security, context-gated external-fault/CT-saturation logic, CT ratio/polarity, transformer rating, and supported vector-group compensation.

Two test paths

Run the deterministic 10-scenario packaged-core self-test and synchronized internal HV/LV/neutral injection, or move to paired external SV live/replay.

AVR / OLTC and MMS

Evaluate virtual voltage regulation as an IEC 61850 IED.

Simulated plant

Virtual transformer and 17-position OLTC provide repeatable voltage-regulation and tap feedback behavior.

Authority and interlocks

Modeled LOCAL/REMOTE and AUTO/MANUAL states constrain virtual tap/control action.

Laboratory MMS

Browse/read, DataSets, reports, GI/integrity, modeled SBO/SBOw controls, and virtual AVR settings terminate inside the simulated process.

Evidence and trust

Preserve causality instead of only final state.

Settings identity

Setting groups, revisions, presets, engineering context, and SHA-256 fingerprints.

Trust authority

AllowsMeasurement, AllowsPickup, and AllowsTrip keep diagnostic visibility separate from new protection authority.

Schema 9 closed-loop evidence

Run/topology identity, timing resolution, first-any-pickup source, operated-element correlation, TESTSET BI events, trip request, output stop, and frozen capture relationship.

Capability boundary

Implemented behavior is not a stronger metrology or certification claim.

ARVREL remains virtual-output laboratory software. It does not claim calibrated secondary injection, a CMC or manufacturer-relay clone, IEC 61850 conformance, IEC 60255 type testing, commissioning acceptance, or protection-grade hard-real-time performance.
