Data object type child SDO

Add new SDO

You can utilize OpenSCD to include new SDOs within an existing DOType. Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the DOType you wish to modify and open the Edit DOType wizard.
2. Click on the DATA OBJECT button located in the middle of the wizard.

Settings:

1. name*: When selecting a SDO from the IEC 61850 namespace, refer to IEC 61850‑7‑4. Otherwise, ensure that the name begins with an uppercase letter [A-Z].
2. desc: This field allows for user-defined descriptions.
3. type*: While the type is defined as a string in the SCL, it appears as a selector in OpenSCD. The selector displays all DOType - id's available in the project. Without existing DOTypes, you cannot create a DO.

CHECKS: The schema validator handles cases of missing or incorrect name, while the template validator addresses issues related to missing or incorrect type.

Edit DO

You can utilize OpenSCD to modify existing DO elements. Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the list of DOTypes in the template editor.
2. Select the DOType that includes the SDO. For example, choose the common data class WYE.
3. Click on the specific child SDO you wish to modify to open the Edit SDO wizard.

 

Settings:

The settings available are identical to those in the Add SDO wizard, with the additional option to remove the selected SDO.

Example:

<SDO  name="res" type="ABBIED600_Rev5_CMV_1"/>

 

Remove SDO

To remove a SDO from a DOType, follow these steps:

1. Open the Edit SDO wizard.
2. Click on the Remove button.

WARNING: Exercise caution when removing SDOs, as OpenSCD does not perform validity checks before deletion.
