Overview
Specifies a file format for describing communication related IED configurations and IED parameters, communication system configurations, switchyard (function) structures, and the relations between them. The main purpose of this format is to exchange IED capability and SA system descriptions between IED engineering tools and the system engineering tool(s) of different manufacturers in a compatible way. The Committee responsible for this standard is national Working Committee K 952 "Netzleittechnik" ("Power system control") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE (www.dke.de).
