SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONFIGURING IED PROCESS BUS NETWORK SWITCHES FROM SUBSTATION TOPOLOGY SPECIFICATION
First Claim
1. A method for obtaining an Intelligent Electronic Device (“
- IED”
), process bus network switch filtering rule configuration file from a substation specification according to the IEC 61850 standard, comprising the steps of;
calculating, from a substation topology file, from a control function library file and a substation bay library file, a Substation Specification Description file and substation traffic demand flow files comprising a GOOSE message profile subscription file and a Sampled Values message profile subscription file;
generating destination MAC addresses;
simulating the process bus communication network using said substation traffic demand flow files and the process bus communication network topology, said topology comprising said process bus network switches, respective links and IED links;
calculating the shortest path between each publisher IED and each subscriber IED; and
calculating a switch multicast filtering rule file, for each switch output port, comprising a multicast MAC address filter rule that allows the calculated shortest paths.

Abstract
Method and system arranged for configuring Intelligent Electronic Device, IED, process bus network switches from a substation specification according to IEC 61850 standard, said method comprising: calculating, from a substation topology file and from control function and substation bay library files, a Substation Specification Description file and substation traffic demand flow files comprising a GOOSE message profile subscription file and a Sampled Values message profile subscription file; generating destination MAC addresses; simulating the process bus communication network using said substation traffic demand flow files and process bus communication network topology, said topology comprising said process bus network switches, respective links and IED links; calculating the shortest path between each publisher IED and each subscriber IED; calculating a switch multicast filtering rule file, for each switch output port, comprising a multicast filter rule that allows the calculated shortest paths; translating the filtering rule file Into a file acceptable by the switch.
