61850 - AutoRecSt signal state update

ADVC3 - IEC 61850 Configuration file VLAN-ID

Issue Summary:

When users set a standard VLAN value of 0x001 in the CID file, WSOS uses 12 bits to generate the VLAN address, resulting in 0x001

However, when the VLAN value is changed to 0x00B, WSOS uses 16 bits, resulting in the address 0x000B

WSOS - Possibility to enter OCP bar prefix code ADVC3

Issue Summary:

WSOS currently does not allow entering OCP barcodes with the ADVC3 (or advc3) prefix because the format only allows such codes beginning with ADVC2

For example, it should be possible to enter the code ADVC3-2222-A

The calculated angle for SEF fault in Directional Overcurrent Protection/Detection is wrong for a certain threshold

Issue Summary:

The angle that is calculated for SEF in Directional Overcurrent Protection/Detection is normally wrong. The involved protections are: Directional Protection (ACR), Directional Blocking (ACR), Directional Detection (LBS) and Directional Blocking (LBS)

This issue normally appears when the SEF fail current is small (15 A or less)

WSOS - Error loading firmware when setting text manually

Issue Summary:

When you manually enter the path of the .advc3 file in the File text box of the ADVC Loader Wizard dialog, clicking the Next button displays the following error message: Error unpacking tar file - Invalid tar magic. The tar file is invalid or corrupted

However, the file path, even if correct, is not considered correct by WSOS and the firmware is not downloaded to ADVC3

This does work if you search the route by pressing the Browse button and selecting the same .advc3 file

WSOS - Invalid Point List link

Issue Summary:

When you open the Custom Logic Tool window (Customize/Custom Logic Tool/Open menu) and enter a signal database version higher than the latest version, the Open Custom Logic Tool Configuration window appears with the following text:

SCADA points introduced after version AXX-X.X will not be available in this version of WSOS. Please refer to the Point List for more information

The words Point List always lead to the same file ADVC-PTCL-331.html, regardless of whether the platform is ADVC3, ADVC_LITE, or PTCC

IEC 104 Closing TCP Connection

Issue Summary:

We are sporadically experiencing a freeze of communication on several of U27/ADVC3 with IEC104 communication protocol. The issue is that the CAPE stops communicating correctly with the data concentrator:

  • Spontaneous data is still sent to data concentrator

  • GI and other commands e.g. Trip/close of the recloser are unsuccessful, not executed (see attached picture for detailed GI sequence)

  • ADVC responds to the PING

  • WSOS connection is established and works OK

WSOS - Platform options appear at Product selection

Issue Summary:

Platform options appear at Product selection. If you select ADVC Controller Range, ADVC Range or PTCC at the Product field, an image with a ? will be shown and it will allow you to continue with the steps of the creation. This issue happens in each of our 3 Platforms

After the steps have been completed, no message is shown and the Switchgear file you have just supposedly created does not appear at Switchgear Collection

WSOS - UOF Protection Online Help (ROCOF)

WSOS - Digital Signature Certificate Fix

Issue Summary:

Following the cyber security report issued by a client regarding WSOS installer not being signed with a valid certificate, an investigation and fix will be performed in order to correct the situation and be able to sign production releases with a valid certificate

Currently both internal and production versions are being signed with a test signature instead of a valid certificate. Internal versions may remain being signed with a test signature, while production versions have to be signed with a valid certificate

ADVC3 - USB FW Load Does Not Work w/ New Naming

Issue Summary:

Since firmware packages are now named pcom_internal_.advc3 and pcom_prod_.advc3 instead of pcom_repo, which has been always, apparently the firmware load via USB only works with the legacy naming. ADVC is expecting a package named pcom_repo[...].advc3 and will not work with new naming

Issue Summary: WSOS - Check Master IP not working

The Check Master IP Address feature from the IEC 60870-5-101/4 IP Validation tab does not properly work

Given its description, if the Master device does not have any of the IP addresses specified in the list and the Check Master IP address option is ON, the communications will not work

However, it does not work for the latest version since communications still work even when the Master IP address does not match any from the list

Known Issues

IEC104 has the following issues:

  • Connection instability has been reported in version A50-17.14

  • Analogue floating points scaling is incorrect, in A50-19.04.

For IEC104 users, we recommend using A50-17.10 and correcting the analogue scaling issue at the SCADA.
