IEC61850 client - TimeQuality not retrieved by the Client using the status bits #21 (_VSB_RT_E), #22 (_VSB_RT_I) and #49 (_VSB_TINVAL_BIT) and #53 (not defined - T_UNSYNC)

IEC61850 client - TimeQuality not retrieved by the Client using the status bits #21 (_VSB_RT_E), #22 (_VSB_RT_I) and #49 (_VSB_TINVAL_BIT) and #53 (not defined - T_UNSYNC)

Description

The zenon Logic IEC61850 Client fieldbus driver does not evaluate TimeQuality as status bits of variables.  And the documentation of the driver describes the wrong bits (the same bits list as zenon IEC850 driver, and not these originally implemented in the fieldbus driver).
The issue has been addressed, the mapping to the status bits from the TimeQuality received in MMS PDUs is now as expected. Fieldbus driver documentation is corrected, the fieldbus driver supports the mapping:
  • TimeQuality=ClockFailure => _VSB_TINVAL_BIT and _VSB_RT_I
  • = ClockNotSynchronized  => _VSB_TINVAL_BIT and _VSB_RT_E
To benefit from this fix: 
  • Update your zenon Software Platform to the latest build of zenon 14 or higher.
