ICD Files

The ICD file is a template supplied by Schneider Electric. It defines the capabilities of the IEDs, such as MasterPacT MTZ IED. ICD files are available within the CET850 configuration software and can also be downloaded by clicking here.

The ICD file is loaded into the CET850 configuration software, and the parameters are edited as required with the specific information to the instance of that IED. The CET850 configuration software can build the CID file. Once the parameters are edited, the CID file is then loaded into the IED through FTP protocol.

The IEDs with the same feature set use the same ICD file. However, each IED requires its own unique CID file. To create a CID file, begin with the correct ICD file and then configure the ICD file using CET850 configuration software.
