2 About this document
2.1 Aim of this document
This document provides you with information on how to create an IEC 61850 application
and how to start up a Phoenix Contact, using the AXC 1050 as an example. The steps for
an IEC 61850 configuration and startup is largely identical for all Phoenix Contact IEDs. Dif-
ferences are explicitly pointed out by the document in the relevant sections.
An IEC 61850 application consists of an application project (PC Worx or Config+ project)
and a PC Worx IED Configurator project.
In the application project, you can do the following:
– Program the logic of the IED.
– Operate the interface to the bus system used.
In the PC Worx IED Configurator project, you can do the following:
– Create the IEC 61850 data model, using the 2003 or 2007 namespace.
– Configure the datasets.
– Configure the control blocks for reporting (MMS) and GOOSE.
– Assign IEC 61850 data attributes to the IEC 61850 variables1of the application project
or to the input/output channels2of the IED.
Figure 2-1 shows a schematic diagram of the engineering workflow.

3 PC Worx or Config+
To use the AXC 1050 (XC) controller or AXL F BK SAS bus coupler as IEDs, you have to
configure certain settings in the PC Worx or Config+ software. Which settings these are ex-
actly, and in which software the settings have to be configured, depend on your bus struc-
ture and the devices that are to be used as IEDs. Table 3-1 shows which software you have
to use.
General requirements: The following is assumed:
– The Axioline F station has been installed, connected and wired.
– There is an Ethernet connection between the IED(s) (AXC 1050 (XC) and/or
AXL F BK SAS) and your PC.
Depending on your bus structure, the following requirements additionally apply:
Bus structure with
AXC 1050 (XC)
If you use at least one AXC 1050 (XC) controller in your bus structure, it is assumed that you
have already taken the following steps in PC Worx:
– Created a project.
– Assigned an IP address to all IEDs contained in the project.
– Imported the bus structure.
– Configured the AXL F BK SAS bus coupler(s), if one or more bus couplers of this type
are present in the bus structure and are to be used as IEDs.
Bus structure
AXL F BK SAS without
AXC 1050 (XC)
If you use one or several AXL F BK SAS bus couplers without AXC 1050 (XC) controllers,
it is assumed that you have done the following:
– Created a project in PC Worx or Config+.
– Assigned an IP address for all IEDs contained in the project.
– Imported the bus structure.
– Configured all AXL F BK SAS bus couplers that are to be used as IEDs.

For additional information on creating projects in PC Worx, please refer to the user man-
ual of the controller you are using. The user manual can be downloaded at
phoenixcontact.net/products.
The procedure for parameterization is identical in PC Worx and in Config+, and is de-
scribed in Section 3.1.8.

3.1 Required settings
This section uses the AXC 1050 as an example for describing the settings in PC Worx that
are necessary for the IEC 61850 communication of a Phoenix Contact IED.
3.1.1 Specifying designation for IEC 61850 variable group
•Open the Bus Configuration workspace.
•In the “Bus Structure” window, select the “IED”.
•If necessary, enter a designation for the group of IEC 61850 variables in the “Device De-
tails” window, or use the preset designation.
Figure 3-1 Defining designation for the IEC 61850 variable group
If you use one or several AXL F BK SAS bus couplers, but no AXC 1050 (XC) controller,
only Section 3.1.8 is relevant to you. In this case, skip Section 3.1.1 ... 3.1.7 and
Section 3.2.
If you want to create several IEC 61850 variable groups, using a wildcard is recommend-
ed.
•Add the wildcard * at the end of the group designation (see example in Figure 3-1).
As designation for the individual variable groups, you respectively use the text that comes
before the wildcard * and then replace the wildcard * with a text of your choice for each
variable group (see example in Figure 3-3).

3.1.2 Creating global variable groups and variables
Creating global variable
groups
•Open the IEC programming workspace.
•Double-click “Global Variables“.
•Open the context menu of a variable group by right-clicking it (e.g. “Default”).
•Select “Insert group”.
Figure 3-2 “Insert group” context menu
The “NewGroup” group is inserted.
•Double-click on “NewGroup”.
•Enter the designation for the IEC 61850 variable group that you have defined in the “De-
vice Details” window for the IED, see Section 3.1.1.
If you have used the wildcard * at the end of the group designation, as recommended
in Section 3.1.1, you can enter a designation of your choice for the wildcard *
(“_Group1” in Figure 3-3).

PC Worx or Config+
107801_en_00 PHOENIX CONTACT 11 / 68
Creating global variables After you have created the global variable group, you can now create the variables that you
want to use for the IEC 61850 communication.
•Open the context menu of the IEC 61850 variable group by right-clicking it (in this case
“IEC61850_Group1”).
•Select “Insert variable”.
Figure 3-4 Inserting a variable
The new variable is displayed in the variable group.
•In the “Name” column, double-click on the automatically generated name of the new
variable that has been created.
•Enter a name for the variable.
•Define the desired properties for the variable in the individual columns.
Please note:
Signals that go out of the application project and into the data model of the IEC 61850
server are defined as outputs in PC Worx.
Signals that the application project reads from the data model of the IEC 61850 server are
defined as inputs in PC Worx.
When defining the data type of a variable, pay attention to the assignment of the
IEC 61850 data types to the data types in PC Worx, see Section 5.1.

3.1.3 Creating the program
•Create the program.
For the IEC 61850 communication, PC Worx provides the function blocks
GET_UTC_TIMESTAMP, GET_IEC61850_TIMEQUALITY and
IEC61850_GOOSE_SUB_INFO. You can find information on the function blocks in
Section 3.2.
3.1.4 Assigning process data
•Assign all variables that are not used for IEC 61850 communication to the correspond-
ing appropriate process data.
3.1.5 Compiling the project
•In the “Build” menu, select “Rebuild Project” (for the first time the project is compiled) or
“Make” (if the project has already been compiled in the past).
For additional information on creating a program, refer to the PC Worx software online
help or quick start guide.
Please note:
For variables that are to be used for IEC 61850 communication (see Section 3.1.2), con-
figure the assignments to the desired IEC 61850 data attributes in the
PC Worx IED Configurator software.

3.2 Function blocks for the IEC 61850 communication
For the IEC 61850 communication, the function blocks GET_UTC_TIMESTAMP,
GET_IEC61850_TIMEQUALITY and IEC61850_GOOSE_SUB_INFO are available in
PC Worx.
3.2.1 GET_UTC_TIMESTAMP function block
The GET_UTC_TIMESTAMP function block enables you to query the coordinated universal
time UTC. You can query information on the quality of the time supplied by means of func-
tion block GET_IEC61850_TIMEQUALITY (see Section 3.2.2).

3.2.3 Function block IEC61850_GOOSE_SUB_INFO
You can use the IEC61850_GOOSE_SUB_INFO function block for diagnosing subscriber
errors in the GOOSE communication.
Figure 3-12 Function block IEC61850_GOOSE_SUB_INFO
For a certain GOOSE control block (GCB), the function block provides various counters
(X_COUNT outputs, see Table 3-6) on the subscriber side. These counters are useful for
the diagnosis.
You can find information on defining control blocks in Section 4.9.3.
