====================
ICD File Description
====================
The ICD file is a template that defines the meter in terms of its capabilities as per the IEC 61850 standard.

---------------------
ICD Naming Convention
---------------------
<meter_type>-Onb1-(Exp#-Exp#-Exp#-Exp#-)FO1_E#V01.icd

Where:
Exp#-Exp#-Exp#-Exp#- = expansion slot positions: slot A (closest to the meter), slot B, slot C, slot D (furthest from the meter)

'Exp#' = Exp1 OR Exp2

	Digital option module slot position		must equal Exp1
	Analog option module slot position		must equal Exp2
	4-Wire RS-485 option module slot position	can equal Exp1 or Exp2 or NONE
	Fiber Ethernet option module slot position	can equal Exp1 or Exp2 or NONE

'F01_E#V01' = F01_E1V01 (IEC 61850 Edition 1, version 01) OR F01_E2V01 (IEC 61850 Edition 2, version 01)

---------------
Sample ICD file
---------------
PM8000-Onb1-Exp1-Exp2-Exp2-Exp2-F01_E2V01.icd


==================
ICD File Selection
==================
Select the correct ICD file when option modules are present in your hardware configuration.

NOTES:

- Exp1 and/or Exp2 must appear in the correct slot position of the ICD file name when a Digital and/or Analog option module is present.
- 4-Wire RS-485 and Fibre Ethernet option modules are not configured for IEC 61850, they can occupy any slot position.
- If a 4-Wire RS-485 and/or Fiber Ethernet option module is present and no Digital or Analog option modules are connected,
select any ICD file for your meter type.

----------
Example #1
----------
slot A --> 4-wire RS-485
slot B --> Digital
slot C --> Fiber Ethernet
slot D --> N/A

Requirement: Slot B must be Exp1 (Digital). All other slots can be either Exp1 or Exp2.

Example ICD file choices:
<meter type>-Onb1-Exp1-Exp1-Exp2-Exp2-F01_E2V01.icd
<meter type>-Onb1-Exp2-Exp1-F01_E2V01.icd

----------
Example #2
----------
slot A --> Analog
slot B --> 4-wire RS-485
slot C --> Fiber Ethernet
slot D --> Digital

Requirement: Slot A must be Exp2 (Analog). Slot D must be Exp1 (Digital). Slots B and C can be either Exp1 or Exp2.

Example ICD file choices:
<meter type>-Onb1-Exp2-Exp1-Exp1-Exp1-F01_E2V01.icd
<meter type>-Onb1-Exp2-Exp1-Exp2-Exp1-F01_E2V01.icd
