The block did not generate any feedback alarms in case the parameter FBConfig was set to the value 3. All other values on the parameter worked as expected. UniCore is used in the following objects. Quality is not set to Bad when the client is setting items to active if they already are active. This is achieved by starting the communication (or speeding it up if another Item for that variable already exist in a slower group). This could cause irregular logging of values in the client. The timeout when waiting for initial update of newly added items is extended. which lead to a small offset being added each time. 800xACON-OL-4100-035 OPC Quick Initial Update not always working There is a mechanism in the OPC Server that should make sure added Items do not get Bad quality in the first call-back. Correction or Fix This problem has been corrected in OPC Server for AC 800M. If no value have been received within a certain time limit a callback is issued to the client with the quality Bad. but normally the value should be available before this time limit expires and a call-back with Good quality is issued.Operational Version 5.1/1 Section 4 Fixed Problems Table 12. The time was however taken after the clients were updated. 800xACON-OL-5010-011 This problem has been corrected in OPC Server for AC 800M.0. resulting in that an OPC client occasionally would initially get Bad data when adding new OPC Items. and then wait until the value is received from the controller.

Configuration Issues (Continued) Issue Workarounds, Clarifications, and Helpful Hints IEC 61850 Problem Encountered while Creating CCF File for REF Series IED There is a problem in the SCL component whenever the REF series of IEDs are used for configuring the SCD File. The REF54x (x=1,3,5) inherently does not have an IEC 61850 interface and hence must use the SPAZC-40x SPA/IEC61850 adapter to attain IEC 61850 connectivity. Hence LD0 and LD1 are designated for SPAZC-40x and REF54x devices respectively. 800xACON-CN-5020-013 Import Wizard Progress Bar Showing Wrong Information While importing SCD files using the IEC 61850 Import Wizard, the progress bar is not synchronized with the actual work progress and indicates work completed while the import is still underway. 800xACON-CN-5020-001 The SPAZC-40x IEC 61850 parser implementation requires the Access Point 'LD1' and hence it has to be retained in the CID file that is downloaded into SPA-ZC40x. However, this is not supported by the SCL Component being used by the IEC 61850 Wizard (and also CCT System Eng. tool) and hence has to be removed manually. Similar is the case for REF542plus IED. The above information is only applicable for the mentioned series of IEDs. Ideally, it is recommended that the user does not make hand made changes in the SCD file. Wait until the IEC 61850 Import Wizard pops up a message indicating the completion of import of SCD. 116 3BSE033044D5020 Section 5 Known Problems IEC 61850 Table 16.
