The configuration and engineering of the IEC 61850 server requires special tools from the device manufacturer and is not part of this data interface.

Some of the functions provided in the standard IEC 61850 are deliberately not used in the data interface. This ensures that unintentional changes to the server-side configuration will not disrupt the link to other devices. For  example, it is not possible to generate dynamic data sets with GOOSE modules or to assign a different data set to a GOOSE control block.
