ION8650 integrated using IEC-61850, cVal.mag values are in Bad quality and without time stamp
I am integrating ION8650C Power meters to 800xA System DCS using IEC-61850 protocol, I can read almost all the data, but I have problems with all data ending in "cVal.mag" (currents, voltages), becasue when the values of this data change, the changes are automatically displayed but with Bad quality and without time stamp.
Please make sure the dataset includes the Data Attribute Level e.g., cVal.mag, q, t and not just Data Object Level e.g., PhV, A, PPV.
In IEC 61850:
Logical Node: e.g., MMXU1 Data Object: e.g., PhV, A, PPV Data Attribute: e.g., cVal.mag, q, t
If your dataset only includes the Data Object (like PhV or A) without specifying the Data Attribute (like cVal.mag, q and t), the client may not receive the actual measurement values, timestamps, or quality indicators.
You can also use some IED Explorer or IEDScout Tools to confirm whether the issue is with the meter or the 800xA client.
