DANEO Control software main features are:

Online observation of selected signals from the substation automation system

Use of configuration information in IEC 61850 SCL format for easy identification of traffic,
communication verification, and setup of signals for recording

Making the power utility communication accessible and visible in an easy-to-understand
manner for the power systems engineer

Setup of trigger conditions and scope of data for recording

Recording of events and measurements of the substation automation system

Collecting recordings from the individual devices in a measurement system

Analyzing data in the collected recordings

Exporting data in PCAP or COMTRADE format for further investigation in other tools
3.3 Distributed system
DANEO 400 was inherently designed to be used in a measurement system comprised of multiple
devices distributed in different locations over arbitrary distances. The options for controlling
DANEO 400 were made in a way so that remote access is possible. DANEO Control software is
designed to control multiple devices from one place and to collect the acquired data from all devices of
the measurement system for a coordinated analysis.
3.4 Hybrid measurement
DANEO 400 combines the classical signals in a protection and automation system with digitized
signals conveyed over communication networks. DANEO 400 acquires classical secondary voltages
and currents and hard-wired binary signals as well as traffic from the power utility communication
network. The information from both worlds is recorded and presented together, revealing the
coordination between each other.
