Product Description

Detect and address issues in IEC 61850 network traffic

The Doble F6880 Digital Network Analyzer (DNA) reveals details that are essential to helping protection engineers and relay test technicians quickly resolve issues in IEC 61850 network traffic.

This compact and lightweight instrument is paired with powerful software that analyzes IED communications and provides diagnostic and analytical functionality in real time.

The DNA is a digital substation multimeter, capable of plotting IEC 61850 sampled values (SV) and GOOSE messages via real-time oscillography, phasor, and tabular data views.

It is also a system event recorder, capturing events via customizable triggers and producing analysis reports that allow the user to evaluate network performance and power system anomalies, like voltage sag, harmonic distortion, and underfrequency.

The F6880 compares SV and GOOSE information from SCL files with the present network traffic to identify system misconfiguration issues such as missing, duplicated, or unknown messages.

The DNA can even be left connected in the substation for extended periods, offering remote access and control.

• Lightweight and compact for easy portability
  Weighs just 2 pounds.
• Multiple field and laboratory applications, in-person and remote use cases
  Troubleshoot IEC 61850 networks during any phase of the protection and control IED life-cycle, from planning and design to commissioning, routine maintenance and call-out investigations.
• Software for detailed analysis of captured events and evaluation of network performance
  Create triggers for recording instances of numerous issues and conditions. Use custom data visualizations when replaying captured events. Analyze signal quality in high resolution.
• System event packet capture (PCAP) for analysis in a wide range of network analysis tools.
  Save events into PCAP, COMTRADE and other file formats. Export event files for more analysis in Doble 61850 TesT or other applications.”
