PIXIT Template for Server Ed1/Ed2
Introduction
This document specifies the protocol implementation extra information for testing (PIXIT) of the IEC 61850
interface in IDF/IRF/ZLF with firmware version 0.9.0.
Together with the PICS and the MICS the PIXIT forms the basis for a conformance test according to IEC 61850-
10. The PIXIT entries contain information which is not available in the PICS, MICS, TICS documents or SCL file.
Each table specifies the PIXIT for applicable ACSI service model as structured in IEC 61850-10. The "Ed" column
indicates if the entry is applicable for IEC 61850 Edition 1 and/or Edition 2.
