ITT SA Explorer
Integrated testing tool ITT600 SA Explorer (manufactured by ABB) s designed for easy diag-
nosis and troubleshooting of IEC 61850-based substation automation systems and applica-
tions.
The ITT600 SA Explorer can be divided in five main parts:
Explore IEDs
related configuration from any compliant IED over the network. Its full-fledged IEC 61850 cli-
ent allows to do various operations on multiple IEDs in parallel. Additionally, it provides the
functionality to simulate one IED of the loaded SCL file.
Explore Ethernet
can present the transmitted IEC 61850 data in a user readable form, without having a deep
knowledge about the protocols. This functionality simplifies troubleshooting of communica-
tion problems significantly.
Explore Models
two SCL compatible files or online data are compared. This functionality again simplifies
troubleshooting because every configuration can be compared against a reference.
Explore GOOSE
utes sent in GOOSE frames can easily be compared and measured. This enables faster debug-
ging and comprehension of distributed application logic using GOOSE.
Explore SV
visualizes IEC 61850-9-2 LE data streams using a polar chart. Two different data
streams can easily be visualized and compared at the same time. The Oscilloscope view
shows current and voltage trends, allowing the user to inspect the content of each SMV
packet.
