IEC 61850 conformance testing tool to validate standard implementation in IEDs, protection relays, and RTUs before commissioning. Generates conformance reports for KEMA/UL certification, simulates GOOSE and MMS failures, and validates manufacturer PIXIT/MICS model against the standard.

Kalkitech IEC 61850 Conformance Tester — Conformance Testing Tool for IEDs
Technical specifications
Technical overview
The Kalkitech IEC 61850 Conformance Tester is the testing software for commissioning engineers and substation integration teams who must verify that IEDs and protection relays to be connected to the IEC 61850 network actually implement the standard correctly and interoperably, before the equipment is installed in the substation where it is costly to access.
The tester covers all three IEC 61850 layers: GOOSE for high-speed events and trip commands, MMS for process data and configuration exchange, and SAMPLED VALUES for synchrophasors and disturbance records. For each layer, the tester generates controlled test traffic, injects error conditions, and measures the DUT's behavior — response times, handling of malformed messages, behavior under network loss.
For substation integrators in Peru working with GE, SEL, Siemens, ABB, and Schneider protection relays in COES and transmission/distribution company substation modernization projects, the Kalkitech tool eliminates the most frequent cause of commissioning delays: interoperability problems between IEDs from different vendors discovered only when the complete system is installed.
