Feature #6739
How to deal with 'Beh' and 'Health' of isolated functions
0%
Description
For site testing, users shall use the test mode to isolate devices/functions to prevent from flooding control centres with test data.
Whereas data marked "test" can be filtered out, changes of 'Beh' cannot be filtered out. When, for example, changing the active parameter set, the user will create data towards the control centre for LN instances which are activated/inactivated through this change.
[Part 7-4 Annex A: "Regardless of the status of LN.Beh, the quality test attribute of Mod, Beh and Health shall be q.test=false."]
In an automation system where a gateway is used to interface the control centre, this gateway could implement a feature to block the information flow of a device in test. Where a direct link via IEC 61850 is used, such blocking is not possible.
