Device Table

The device table section contains a table which lists all connections described in the selected SCL file.

Select all new devices

This check box selects all connections available in the SCL file, which are not yet configured in WinCC OA.

Assign driver instance

This option allows you to define a driver instance number for all connections which are not yet configured in WinCC OA. Enter the number into the spin button and use the Assign button to assign it. It is of no relevance whether the IEDs are selected. A driver instance number must be assigned before the WinCC OA device is created. Changing the number after creating the WinCC OA device is not possible.

Table Columns

• Selection - This column provides check boxes for selecting IEDs for configuration. Multiple IEDs can be selected. All selected IEDs will be configured by clicking the button Configure new.

  In case of device redundancy: The secondary partner must not be configured.

• WinCC OA name - This column displays the device name in the WinCC OA project. By default, the device name is the IED 61850 name of the IED.

  The device name is editable and may be modified before creating the device. Since the device name is the WinCC OA data point name, you cannot change this once a device has been created in the WinCC OA project.

• IED name - Displays the IEC61850 name of a single IED.

• Access point - Displays the access point of a single IED.

  The combination of IED name and access point must be unique for every created device.

• IP address - The column displays the IP address that has been defined for this access point within the SCL file.

• Driver instance - Displays the driver instance number in the WinCC OA project. It allows to change the driver instance number of an individual connection.
