We are excited to announce the release of version 2.1.17 of the 61850 Avenue toolset in May 2025. This update introduces a major new feature — Process View (PV) — which enables intuitive, graphical data visualization using a single line diagram (SLD).

Process View allows users to map selected data from server IEDs onto graphical elements of a single line diagram (SLD) representing the tested installation. This graphical interface brings the model to life and simplifies both real-time monitoring and control.

Key capabilities include:

• Assignment of Data Objects from IED data models to SLD elements

• Live measurement display for equipment like Current Transformers (CT) and Voltage Transformers (VT).

• Execution of control commands directly from graphical switching elements.

• Edit Mode for assigning DOs via selection or pasting object references.

• Support for multiple templates and light/dark modes.

• Zoom functionality for large installations.

• Seamless saving of all assignments within the current workspace.

Other improvments - smaller but valuable enhancements included in this release:

• Copy object reference command: Added a menu command for copying object references from both the server view and the object view.

• Improved SG (Setting Group) handling:

  • SGs can now be read individually.

  • SG editing can be initiated based on the currently selected object.

  • Scope of SG editing can now be limited for better precision.

• User feedback on SCL validation:

  • Clear messages are now displayed in the interface to improve troubleshooting, if SCL validation errors occur.

This release reflects our commitment to the continuous improvement of the 61850 Avenue toolset, addressing users feedback and following the evolving standards. Welcome to learn the details of the new release of the 61850 Avenue toolset.
