An approach to research-client integral configuration of supporting tool software for the new generation protection and measuring-control device is proposed.The modular design concept is employed to realize the protection and measuring-control function,to perform the logic node modeling according to the IEC 61850 standards,and to complete the visual configuration with graphical components.The research people use reusable graph library to edit cardinal program and configuration,while the engineering people and the clients,by referring to actual demands and following the standard example supplied by the research people,carry out secondary development and configuration,such as the selection of software and hardware function type,the realization of graphical logic programming and configuration of inputs and outputs of devices.In this way,the difficulty of programming and configuration is reduced,while flexibility is increased.
