AMA-61850-ServerSim
Server-Simulator for IEC 61850

The AMA Server Simulator offers you the capability to test client type systems, like substation HMI or SCADA systems, using IEC 61850 communication. With the AMA-61850-ServerSim software license, you can test clients without the need for real physical IEC 61850 server devices (IEDs). The AMA-61850-ServerSim is able to simulate up to 250 server devices on one computer.

The server’s data model is configured by a separate configuration file for each simulated IEC 61850 server. The configuration file is in SCL format acc. to IEC 61850-6. The SCL file specifies the data model of the server,  including data-sets and report-control blocks, and defines Common Data Classes and Logical Nodes acc. to IEC 61850-7-3 and IEC 61850-7-4, resp. The data definition may be easily extended for additional Logical Nodes and Common Data Classes, as specified in companion standards  - like IEC 61850-7-410, or IEC 61400-25-2, or according to user-specific definitions. That way you are able to test an HMI / SCADA/ gateway communicating with multiple simulated server devices combined with one or more real server devices.

The user may configure the process data simulation using a GUI. Again, the user can perform this configuration for each simulated server separately.
