Potential Client and Automation Application Issues With Edition 2 Upgrades
specification of the standard. Note that upgrading to Ed2 firmware will not break
existing Ed1 configurations (CID files) in the field, nor require loading an Ed2
version of the CID file.
Unexpected Error Messages
Some MMS and control errors have been changed in Ed2. Hence, the firmware
now issues only the Ed2-compliant errors. Clients or automation applications that
rely on the Ed1-compliant errors will not function correctly. You can resolve this
by reconfiguring the client or automation application to accept Ed2-compliant
errors.
Missing or Unknown Data Objects and Attributes
Ed2 has changed some data object and attribute names, as well as the data types
of some attributes. Ed2 also prohibits the use of proprietary CDCs. See
and the logical nodes tables in each product-spe-
cific manual to determine the Ed2 names. This may cause the failure of clients or
automation applications that rely on the Ed1 names. A workaround is to use the
Ed1 version of the CID file, if available, to configure the IED. You can also
resolve this by reconfiguring the client or automation application to accept the
Ed2 names.
Unable to Find Operate Time-Out
A proprietary method was used to specify the operate time-out of control objects
in the CID files. A client or automation application that relies on this proprietary
method will fail to find the operate time-out in the CID file. A workaround is to
use the Ed1 CID file to configure the IED. You can also resolve this by reconfig-
uring the client or automation application to accept the Ed2 control object operate
time-outs.
Unexpected Control Block Data Attribute Type
The string type data attributes in control blocks (RptID, DatSet, etc.) have been
changed from a maximum length of 65 to 129 characters, i.e., VisString65 to Vis-
String129. Some clients and automation applications might see this as an error
when the type is reported in the MMS GetVariableAccessAttributes response.
You can resolve this by reconfiguring the client or automation application.
Unexpected Reports
Ed2 requires report buffering to start when the device is turned on, unlike in the
Ed1 implementation where report buffering started after the first report enable. If
a client or automation application relies on the Ed1 behavior, it might fail or indi-
cate an error if the IED sends buffered reports immediately after the first enable.
You can resolve this by reconfiguring the client or automation application.
Failure to Reselect a Control Object Before the Timeout
In Ed1, if a client reselected a control object before the select-before-operate
time-out expired, the reselection would succeed and cause the selected time-out
to restart. According to Ed2, this reselection is supposed to fail. Ed1-based cli-
