Practise on real files

Sample files

Files to download and open in the IEC 61850 and SCADA tools. They are built from the tools' own demonstration data, so you can compare what you see with the guides and worked examples — including the faults that were put in on purpose. They contain no real project or customer data.

S13 132/33 kV substation — SCD

IEC 61850 SCL (SCD, Edition 2) · S13_Sample.scd

Download

A small but complete substation configuration: a line distance IED (P132_Q01), a transformer differential IED (P87T_T1) and a station gateway (GW1), with data sets, GOOSE and report control blocks, ExtRef subscriptions and communication addresses.

What you should see

  • SCL Studio: 3 IEDs, 4 data sets, 2 GOOSE and 2 report control blocks, and no validation errors.
  • Data flow: a trip GOOSE (APPID 0011) from P132_Q01 to P87T_T1, a differential intertrip (APPID 0021) back, and two reports to GW1.
  • SCL NetStudio (Import SCD or Open in NetStudio): the IEDs and GOOSE streams become a network project with the addresses kept.

One bay, five seconds — capture with deliberate faults

Wireshark capture (.pcap) · GOOSE_SV_demo_bay1.pcap

Download

GOOSE and sampled-value traffic of one bay: a trip GOOSE, a status GOOSE, an interlocking GOOSE and a 9-2LE merging unit, with faults built in so every kind of finding can be seen.

What you should see

  • A trip GOOSE with a lost repetition, and a status GOOSE whose time allowed to live has no margin and which then goes silent for three seconds.
  • An interlocking GOOSE in simulation with low VLAN priority whose data changes without a new stNum.
  • A merging unit with eight lost samples and a neutral current that does not match the phases.

SCD for the demonstration capture

IEC 61850 SCL (SCD) · GOOSE_SV_demo_bay1.scd

Download

The configuration of the bay in the demonstration capture. Open it together with the capture to compare every stream with its configured APPID, MAC address, VLAN, confRev and data set.

What you should see

  • With the SCD loaded, the analyzer adds configuration-versus-traffic findings to the capture findings.

S13 network design — SCL NetStudio project

SCL NetStudio project file (.json) · S13_NetStudio_project.nsproj.json

Download

The complete sample network design: devices and switches, IP plan, GOOSE/SV addressing, bandwidth, latency, redundancy, time sync, firewall zones, port and cable schedule with a fibre trunk, and the asset register.

What you should see

  • Ports & cables: one error (the 115 m copper run to BCU_J01) and fibre trunk FT-YARD-01 with cores 1-2 and 3-4.
  • Asset register: a warning that the two DP-700 relays run firmware 3.2.1 and 3.1.4, and a note that MU_Q01 has no serial number.
  • Firewall: one error, corporate IT reaching the station LAN directly by remote desktop.

IP address register with seeded errors

CSV (opens in Excel) · S13_IP_register_with_errors.csv

Download

A 16-device register for station bus, process bus, switch management and SCADA DMZ, with typical copying and typing errors.

What you should see

  • 7 errors: a duplicate IP, a duplicate MAC, a broadcast address, a link-local address, a gateway outside its subnet and two overlapping subnets.
  • 3 warnings and 2 notes on mixed masks and gateways.

Asset register — export format and import template

CSV (opens in Excel) · S13_asset_register.csv

Download

The asset register of the sample substation in the format SCL NetStudio exports. Edit it in Excel and import it back with Import asset data; rows are matched by Tag.

What you should see

  • Columns: Tag, asset type, description, bay, panel, manufacturer, model, firmware, serial number, MAC address, IP addresses, switch port, tagged VLANs and status.
