Command Object Panel Reference

WinCC OA provides the following command panel as reference to perform control operations.

Figure 1. Command Object Instance

The necessary configuration of the commands is done within the IEC 61850 Engineering panel.

To use the command panel within your project you have to add following panel reference to your project:

/objects/STD_INPUTS/iec61850_command_object.pnl

When adding the panel reference to your project a DP selection dialog will be opened where you can specify which data point / command object should be used for this command object instance. For this dialog a filtering for available IEC61850 data points is configured.

By clicking on the "Command configuration" button a dialog is opened where the user has an overview over the command object, the corresponding controlled object and the respective state of the object.
