Task:
Create the reverse interlocking for 2 devices in the outgoing unit (Devices
B/C) and for 1 device (Device A) in the incoming unit via the IEC61850
station
Proceed as follows:

Create device parameter sets

Parameterize off-line: Select the information in the individual devices
Save the parameter sets
Create the IEC station
Select the users
In the IEC station: Set the IP addresses and interconnect the device
information
7. Save and update the IEC station
8. Initialize the protection devices
9. With testing equipment: Simulate faults within / outside the busbar
10. Check the reaction in the incoming unit
