CID Files
The CID files are created from the ICD file using the CET850 configuration software. The CID file contains information specific to MasterPacT MTZ IED, such as deadband values, datasets, and reports. The CET850 configuration software may include Ethernet communication information in the CID file. However, this information is not used. The communication information for IEC 61850 communication standard is taken from the MasterPacT MTZ IED configuration.
The CID files can be created offline without the MasterPacT MTZ IED. A valid CID file must have an .exi file to fit within the allocated directory space.

UNINTENDED DEVICE OPERATION
Do not manually alter the CID files created with CET850 configuration software. The CID files contain a security mechanism that is verified by the IFE interface, EIFE interface, or IFE server.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
loss of communication.

The CID file must also be compatible with the IEC 61850 conformance statements of the MasterPacT MTZ IED. Refer to Appendix A. If the CID file is corrupted or invalid, the ULP LED on the IFE interface, EIFE interface, or IFE server will flash five times to indicate discrepancy in the configuration.
