Section 3: RA24 IEC61850 Configuration
3.1 The .CID File
The RA24 requires a .cid file that incorporates the IEC61850 Substation Project Configuration including the
Report datasets that must be sent and where they are sent to.
The Project Configuration is contained in the .cid file for the RA24 created earlier from our Substation
configuration process example and needs to be loaded into the RA24 IED.
FTP 1S24.cid File
We will be using the Beck’s @CHIPTOOL software utility to establish a terminal session with the RA24 and
to FTP the .cid file.
Download @CHIPTOOL for free from :

Run @CHIPTOOL on the PC.
The Tool will detect any RA24 devices on the network as seen by the screen shot below :
