Define an IEC61850 Object Model

In order to represent an IEC61850 device in the management station, you must first define an object model using one of the following procedures:

• Designing the object model by browsing an online IEC 61850 device
• Designing the object model using the offline method

When you define an object model, the following two files are created and stored in the Temp folder on your system:

• IEC_OM.csv – Contains information of the defined object model.
• Rules.xml – Contains the Import Rules for the defined object model.

Using these files, you can alternatively define Import Rules from the Libraries folder and modify the Import Rules. In order to modify the Import Rules, you must merge the contents of Rules.xml from your Temp folder with the Rules.xml located at GMSCustomerProject\libraries\EnergyandPower_Device_IEC61850_HQ_1\ImportRules.

After defining an object model, you must configure it with additional properties, if you want the IEC61850 device to support events. For information on configuring additional properties, see Configuring an Object Model for Event Support.
