ScadaBench puts an IEC 61850 substation on your desk
ScadaBench is Windows software that uses CID, ICD, and SCD files to simulate IEC 61850 IEDs for testing SCADA systems, gateways, and protection logic.
- For
- Protection engineers and SCADA integrators
- Worth noticing
- The site reports 134 of 134 vendor CID files imported in its test library; this is a compatibility claim, not independent verification.
Field notes
An imported CID, ICD, or SCD supplies the IED data models; the page says each becomes an MMS server on its own address, while the SCD's Substation section can generate a single-line diagram. The described checks extend to GOOSE declarations, Sampled Values, and a real relay's model, with commands requiring explicit confirmation. The site reports 134/134 vendor CID files in its test library; the software is offered for Windows, with a seven-day trial and a $149 lifetime license.
