 3.1) Object Properties (1)
Basic Concept : Object
1) Belong to a HIERARCHY
Site (Electric) Main hierarchy containing electric process
SCS Main hierarchy containing system description (mappings)
Graphic Main hierarchy containing OI & C264 views + users/rights

Has 1 parent Has childs called COMPONENTS

2) SCS (System)
contains mappings
networks, wiring, SBUS equipment
datapoint profiles
acquisition and processing behaviour

3) Graphic Part
contains OI graphical views
contains MiCOM computers front views
contains user rights definition

 3.3) Relations between objects

What is a relation?
Connection between 2 objects belonging to 2 different hierarchies
Digital Information with a board / channel wiring
Bay with controlling computer
Datapoint with datapoint profile

Configure a relation
mandatory
automatically attached to object (to be completed)
configurable
directly, Relation Editor

 4.1) Template Features

Templates : What for?

Ease configuration process using the following concepts :
Data modelling
IED, Switchgear, Transformer, C264, Graphic, …
Attributes protection
fix a value for object attributes w/out changing possibility
Automatic retrofit of correction in instances
make correction at template level, correction will be retrofitted in all
instances
Use of libraries
Electric, System, Graphic

 4.2) DS Agile SCE Templates Concept

Basic Concept : Templates

MODEL Evolution

Instantiation
Degree Of Freedom e.g. Name
Template Link Automatic
Parameter e.g. Colour

CB1
CB2 CB1
CB3 CB2
CB3
N instances = N duplicates fixed Attributes
= duplicates + DOF
= duplicates + DOF + Automatic colour

 4.4) Templates Definition

Template :
For one Application case, it is User Definition of objects set=> over
several hierarchies
is a model Electric : 1 Template
List of points
links
Object as instance of Template
SCS : IED mapping
is a copy of template structure in object hierarchy
(with template attributes)
BUT
no structure change allowed
no attribute change except explicit template DOF
Template is Definition => If template change all instances change

DB Generation for devices
Data Consistency
Configuration Editor

2) 3 Basic Hierarchies of SCE

Site Real Time DataPoints
SCS Mappings
Graphic Interfaces for operator

3) 2 Database parts into the SCE

Object DB
Templates DB

4) Database versioning by SCE

VdBS : WORK versions -> versioned Data Base
-> generate versioned
