Full IEC 61850 configuration, in one tool.
Configure IED names, network settings, datasets, MMS, GOOSE, and Sampled Values. Edits in the one-line carry through to the control blocks and mappings, and CIDs regenerate only when settings change.
The one-line is generated from the station configuration.
Add positions and equipment, assign IEDs, and choose the protection and control features you need. StationBolt draws the one-line as you work and assigns the matching template CID, ICD, and IID files automatically.

IED assignment with automatic template import.
Drop relays onto each piece of equipment and pick their protection and control features. StationBolt assigns the matching template CID, ICD, and IID files automatically, straight from the device catalog.

- Feature selection

IED names and IP addressing generated from station rules.
Set station naming and addressing rules once. StationBolt generates IED names, IP addresses, Subnet, and Gateway across the whole station and keeps them consistent as the design changes.

- Subnet rules
- Auto-regenerate
Dataset and report control block configuration.
Build datasets straight from the device data model, then wire them to report control blocks with trigger options and optional fields per relay. Dataset size and attribute counts stay visible as you edit.

Publish GOOSE and Sampled Values.
Configure control blocks for GOOSE and Sampled Values with capability-aware defaults per device. Identification, network addressing, retransmission timing, and sampling configuration in one editor.

- APPID · VLAN · MAC

GOOSE and SV subscriptions in Flow or Matrix view.
Drag GOOSE and Sampled Values bindings across vendors in the Flow view or the Matrix view. Both views edit the same subscription model.

Station-wide checks across every IED.
Because the entire station is in one model, StationBolt validates across every IED at once: duplicate MAC addresses and APPIDs shared between control blocks, IP and naming collisions, dangling subscriptions, and more.
- Duplicate MAC / APPID
- Cross-IED checks
- Suppressible warnings
- Pre-run gates
Only the relays that changed are rebuilt.
Per-relay fingerprinting determines which relays need a rebuild, so a small change does not reissue the whole station. Drawings render through AutoCAD in the background, the SCD merge deduplicates DataTypeTemplates and preserves vendor namespaces, and full-station reports export to PDF and Excel.

Built by substation engineers.
StationBolt replaces per-vendor, per-file configuration with one project model. The full station is in one tool, from the one-line to the generated SCD, CIDs, drawings, and reports.
Whole-station project model
Design and review the complete station in one project: every voltage level, position, and IED.
Multi-vendor projects
SEL, GE, Siemens, ABB, and imported devices from other vendors in the same project.
Station-wide validation
With the whole station in one model, StationBolt catches what per-IED tools cannot: duplicate MAC addresses and APPIDs, IP and naming collisions, and dangling subscriptions.
Change management
Change a value once. It carries from the one-line to datasets, control blocks, and mappings, and only the affected CIDs regenerate.
Copy and paste at any level
Duplicate a full station, a position, or a single IED. Equipment, features, addressing, and configuration come with it.
Full SCL file support
SCD, CID, ICD, and IID across Edition 1, 2, and 2.1, with vendor Private elements preserved.
Commissioning-ready reports
Generate full-station configuration reports in PDF and Excel: IEDs, MMS reports, GOOSE, Sampled Values, and the complete mapping matrix.
Drawings and CIDs from one device selection
A single device selection chooses both the drawing and CID templates, so they always match.
IEC 61850 standards coverage.
StationBolt supports the SCL file types, all schema editions, and the real-time protocols, with vendor Private elements preserved on import and generation.

AutoCAD drawings generated from the station design.
The same device selection that picks a CID template also picks the matching AutoCAD DWG templates. StationBolt updates the text elements on those drawing templates from your station design, so the drawing set matches the configuration files.
-
Shared device selection: choosing a device picks both the correct CID and the matching DWG templates
-
Driven by the one-line: drawings regenerate from the station design and the same device selections
-
Your standard drawings: StationBolt generates a drawing package per device from your own DWG templates, and fills the title block and text fields from the station design: drawing number, position, equipment, and IED names
-
Every sheet in the package: one-lines, schematics, wiring diagrams, and the rest of your standard set, each updated to the station design
Reports for the entire station.
Generate configuration reports for the full IEC 61850 station in PDF and Excel, documenting the current configuration, ready for design review and commissioning records.
-
Full station coverage: every IED, MMS report control block, GOOSE publisher/subscriber, SV publisher/subscriber, and the mapping matrix
-
PDF and Excel formats: PDFs for official records and sign-offs, Excel workbooks you can filter, sort, and update
-
Dated and traceable: summary counts and a generation timestamp on every report

Frequently asked questions.
Is StationBolt an SCL tool?
Yes. In IEC 61850-6 terms StationBolt is a System Configuration Tool (SCT): it imports CID, ICD, and IID files, holds the whole station in one project model, and generates the station SCD and a CID for every IED. Editions 1, 2, and 2.1, with vendor Private elements preserved throughout.
Which relay vendors does StationBolt work with?
SEL and GE are fully supported. Siemens and ABB have partial coverage, with full coverage close behind. Devices from any other vendor can be imported and their published GOOSE and Sampled Values mapped, with configuration to follow.
How is StationBolt licensed?
StationBolt is available through Coastal Grid. Request a quote for per-seat or site licensing.
Can I bring an existing project?
Yes. Import existing CID, ICD, and IID files across Edition 1, 2, and 2.1, with every vendor Private element preserved.
Where does my configuration data live?
On your machine. StationBolt reads and writes your SCL files locally and requires no external network connectivity.
How do I evaluate it?
Contact us for a trial license key, install StationBolt on your workstations, and configure a real station. The trial runs 30 days. We can also scope a pilot alongside your team.
What is coming next?
SSD file creation is coming soon, so you can author the station specification directly in StationBolt.
Request a demo or a quote.
We will walk through a real station configuration, or answer licensing questions by email.
