UniCA 61850 Conformance Test Set

The UniCA 61850 conformance test set enables you to perform conformance tests of a IEC 61850
server, fully compliant with the IEC 61850-10 Conformance testing. The test set enables you to
create, send/receive, analyze and store correct and incorrect(!) IEC 61850-8-1 communication
messages. The UniCA test set is the tool for communication interface development and
conformance testing.

The test set consists of:

UniCA 61850 protocol analyzer
UniCAsim 61850 conformance test client simulator
UniCAsim 61850 conformance test GOOSE simulator (optional)

UniCAsim 61850 simulator with

reference test suite & Test master

Ethernet 100BaseFX Switch & SNTP Time Master

Scripts
To be both flexible and reproducible the test simulator is controlled by UniCAsim Basic scripts.
UniCAsim Basic enables you to construct and send messages, to check received messages,
access the data model and report errors or other text. To create or change scripts one should have
a detailed knowledge of the IEC 61850 protocol. Scripts are grouped together in a test group, test
groups are grouped together in one test suite. The test simulator is shipped with a ready-to-use
reference test suite that simulates a client to test any IEC 61850-8-1 server. KEMA uses the same
test set to perform its own conformance tests.

 Detailed test capabilities of the test set

The test set enables you to perform the following tests (extract from IEC 61850-10). Some test
scripts cant be performed automatically and do need additional support form the test engineer.
Because the reference test suite can be copied and edited its easy for the end-user to
adjust/create user/device specific test cases when necessary.

Configuration file test cases (under construction)

Test if the ICD configuration file conforms to the SCL document type definition (part 6).
Check if the ICD configuration file corresponds with the actual data, data types and services
exposed by the DUT on the network
Change end-user configurable parameters in the SCD configuration file, configure the DUT
using the SCD configuration file (using the supplied configuration tool) and check the
configuration using online services corresponds with the SCD file. Restore the original SCD file
and re-configure the DUT to its original state.

Data model test cases

Verify presence of mandatory objects for each LN (presence M or conditional presence true).
Verify data type of all objects for each LN.
Verify data attribute values from the device are in specified range (this is a continuous effort
during the whole conformance test)
Verify non-presence of conditional presence false objects
Check if manufacturer specific extensions are implemented according to the standard
Verify data model mapping (names, control blocks)

UniCAsim enables you to compare the data model with the reference data model or with any other
data model of another IED. The test result is a list of data values with type and an OK, unknown,
missing or mismatch indication.

State machine paths for SBO with enhanced security returning the device to the Unselected state
are:
Path 1
Path 2+3a/b/c/d
Path 2+4+8a/b/c
Path 2+5+6
Path 2+5+7+8a/b/c
And paths setting the device to the Ready state:
Path 2+4+9a/b/c
Path 2+5+7+9a/b/c

Path 1 (returning to Unselected state)
o Select device using SelVal with improper access rights. Access should be denied (7-2
17.2.2)

Path 2+3a/b/c/d (returning to Unselected state)

o Select device correctly [SelVal]
o Verify each of these paths will return the device to the Unselected state:
o Client requests Cancel
o Conclude this tests by once sending an incorrect Operate request and the second
time sending an incorrect TimeActivatedOperate request

Path 2+4+8a/b/c (returning to Unselected state)

o Select device correctly SelVal]
o Verify each of these paths will return the device to the Unselected state:
o Perform a correct Operate Once request
o Perform a correct Operate Once request and force the output of the device such that
the output keeps its old state
o Perform a correct Operate Once request and force the output of the device such that
the output keeps reaches the ' between'state

Path 2+5+6 (returning to Unselected state)

o Select device correctly [SelVal]
o Send a TimeActivatedOperate request, thereby making sure the device will generate a '
test
not Ok'.

Path 2+5+7+8a/b/c (returning to Unselected state)

o Select device correctly [SelVal]
o Send a correct TimeActivatedOperate request
o After the timer has expired, verify each of these paths will return the device to the
Unselected state:
o Perform a correct Operate Once request
o Perform a correct Operate Once request and force the output of the device such that
the output keeps its old state
o Perform a correct Operate Once request and force the output of the device such that
the output keeps reaches the ' between'state

Path 2+4+9a/b/c (returning to the Ready state)

o Select device correctly [SelVal]
o Verify each of these paths will return the device to the Ready state:
o Perform a correct Operate Many request
o Perform a correct Operate Many request and force the output of the device such that
the output keeps its old state

 o Perform a correct Operate Many request and force the output of the device such that
the output keeps reaches the '
between'state

Path 2+5+7+9a/b/c (returning to the Ready state)

o Select device correctly [SelVal]
o Send a correct TimeActivatedOperate request
o After the timer has expired, test each of these paths which will return the device to the
Ready State:
o Perform a correct Operate Many request
o Perform a correct Operate Many request and force the output of the device such that
the output keeps its old state
o Perform a correct Operate Many request and force the output of the device such that
the output keeps reaches the ' between'state

File transfer model

Positive
o Request a GetServerDirectory(FILE) with correct parameters and verify the response (7-2
6.2.2)
o For each responded file:
o request a GetFile with correct parameters and verify the response (7-2 20.2.1)
o request a GetFileAttributeValues with correct parameters and verify the response (7-
2 20.2.4)
o request a DeleteFile with correct parameters and verify the response (7-2 20.2.3)
o Verify the SetFile service with a small and large file and the maximum number of maximum
sized file (under construction)

Negative
o Request following file transfer services with an unknown file name and verify the appropriate
response- service error
o GetFile (7-2 20.2.1)
o GetFileAttributeValues (7-2 20.2.4)
o DeleteFile (7-2 20.2.3)

Combination test

Positive
o Test reporting and control services keep on working as specified while requesting other
services; combine server actions: Reporting, Logging, Goose subscribing/publishing, with
client initiated operations:
o enable reporting and force reports
o enable logging and force logs
o enable Goose publishing and force Goose messages
o send Goose messages
o request GetXXXX data/dataset/log/file services
o issue control commands
