CID.exi Files Transfer to IFE or EIFE Interface with Firmware Version V004.006.000 and Later (On-Site Configuration)
The CID.exi file is transferred to IFE or EIFE interface with firmware version ≥ V004.006.000 using any FTPS client software, such as FileZilla or WinSCP. The on-site configuration requires Ethernet connection to the IFE or EIFE interface.
-
At a single time, only one CID.exi file can be loaded onto the IEC 61850 folder in IFE or EIFE interface.
-
If the IFE or EIFE interface is reset to the factory setting, the CID.exi file in the IFE or EIFE interface is erased. The IFE or EIFE interface must be retransferred and the CID.exi file has to be retransferred into the IFE or EIFE interface.
The following procedure describes how to transfer IEC 61850 CID.exi file to the IFE or EIFE interface using FileZilla software:
|
Step |
Action |
|---|---|
|
1 |
Run the CET850 configuration software. |
|
2 |
Build the CID.exi file in the CET850 configuration software. For more information, refer to CET850 IEC 61850 Configuration Software - User's Manual.
|
|
3 |
Run the FTPS client software. |
|
4 |
Enter the IP address of IFE or EIFE interface in the Host field to get connected to the IFE or EIFE interface through FTPS. NOTE: The previous CID.exi file
can be archived as part of historical information of the IED.
|
|
5 |
Enter the login credentials for FTPS in the Username and Password fields. On successful credential verification, the CID.exi files will be transferred to IFE or EIFE interface. NOTE: The transfer of CID.exi files through
FTPS is password-protected by Role Based Access Control feature in IFE or EIFE interface. Only users with Engineer or Installer roles can
transfer the CID.exi files.
|
|
6 |
Enter the port of the server into the Port field (990 for FTPS). |
|
7 |
Click Quickconnect to establish the communication with the IFE or EIFE interface.
|
|
8 |
Select the CID.exi file on the local site to transfer. |
|
9 |
Select the folder in the remote site ( |
|
10 |
Drag and drop the selected CID.exi file to the remote site folder.
|
|
11 |
The IFE or EIFE interface validates the CID.exi file and then the file gets transferred to remote site folder. NOTE: If the CID.exi file is invalid, the IEC 61850 features of the MasterPacT MTZ IED does not function and the ULP LED will flash for five times
to indicate discrepancy in configuration.
|
|
12 |
On successful transfer of CID.exi file, it is recommended to disable the FTPS settings in the IFE or EIFE webpage. NOTE: Only users with Administrator role can change
the FTPS settings.
