- maxAttributes: not restricted by definition, only by the size of the Ethernet packet with GOOSE and sampled values
- max: the amount of DataSets already defined in the IED or access point, respectively. This basically means you cannot add new DataSets with the SCL editor
- modify: true. Existing DataSets can be changed.
Report control block configuration
There are multiple settings regarding report control block configuration capabilities within the IED. Some can be found in the ConfReportControl element
- max: shows how many instantiated report control blocks can be defined for the IED or the access point. New report control blocks or new instances of an existing report control block can only be added, if the number is smaller than already defined instances of report control blocks
- bufMode: what type of report control block can be created/deleted with SCL editor. Type can be buffered, unbuffered or both.
- bufConf: Whether the buffered attribute of a ReportControl element can be changed by the SCL editor
- maxBuf: The maximum number of instantiated* report control blocks with the attribute buffered="true" can be defined in the IED.
The default values in case ConfReportControl is not present are
- max: the number of instantiated report control blocks
- bufMode: both
- bufConf: false. SCL editors cannot change the report control blocks buffered/unbuffered type
- maxBuf: the number of instantiated report control blocks
Others are defined in the element ReportSettings (tbd)
- cbName:
- datSet:
- rptID:
- optFields:
- bufTime:
- trgOps:
- intgPd:
- resvTms:
- owner:
*instances of reports: The SCL allows making a distinction of report control blocks and its instances. Say you have four clients that need a specific report, you must not define four individual report control blocks but can define one and say how many instances of this report control block you need in the IED. This is done using the RptEnabled element like so: <RptEnabled max="4" >...</RptEnabled>. Such a report control block is called an indexed report control block. You can see an instance of a report control block only in the online IED.
