IEC61850browser

The IEC 61850 Browser is a mobile diagnostic and control tool for IEC 61850-based protection and control devices (IEDs), developed for professional use in the field.

The app supports direct connections to IEDs as well as automatic device discovery through an integrated network scanner. Via the USB-C interface, Ethernet-to-USB-C adapters can be connected and configured as the primary network interface, ensuring that all IEC 61850 communication is routed exclusively through the selected port.

Once connected, the app automatically reads the complete IEC 61850 data model from the IED and displays it in a clear, structured hierarchy. Users can query individual or multiple data objects at the same time and monitor live values.

For each retrieved value, the app displays: • Value • Quality information • Timestamp

The app also supports sending control commands to IEDs. If a command is rejected, detailed feedback is provided, including the reason for rejection.

Cybersecurity features are also supported for protected IED connections. Depending on the device manufacturer and configuration, users can authenticate either with a password only or with a combination of username and password.

For continuous monitoring, the app includes an option in Settings to prevent the device display from turning off while the app is in use. This helps avoid automatic device locking and potential connection interruptions during longer monitoring sessions.

If supported by the connected IED, disturbance records can also be accessed and read via file transfer.

The IEC 61850 Browser is under continuous development, with more features planned for future releases.

The app includes a 7-day free trial with full functionality. After the trial period, continued access is available through an annual subscription.

Compatible with iOS and iPadOS 17.8 or later.
