Built by substation engineers, for substation engineers.
Vendor-agnostic by design
SEL, GE, Siemens, ABB, and more. Native input profiles, capability discovery, and full IEC 61850 configuration.
A modern Windows app
WinUI 3 on Windows 11. Fluent system controls, multi-document tabs, command palette, dark mode.
Template-based engineering
Add IEDs, choose features, then templates are automatically imported.
One project model
Edits in the one-line propagate to the subscriber matrix, CIDs, and DWGs.
Validation before generation
Pre-run gates surface cross-IED conflicts, per-relay errors, and warnings before a single CID is touched.
SCL file generation
Station SCD and device CID files generated based on the IEC 61850 standard.
The whole IEC 61850 configuration, in one tool.
Tightly integrated workspaces share a single project model. Edits in the one-line propagate downstream, and CIDs regenerate only when settings change. Configure IED names, network settings, datasets, MMS, GOOSE, and Sampled Values.
Configure the station. The one-line draws itself.
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.
Add the IEDs. The templates come with them.
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.
Names and addresses, generated to your 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.
One set of rules: a naming pattern and IP assignment drive the whole station
IED names and IPs: generated and kept unique across every relay
Publish GOOSE, SV, and MMS.
Configure datasets and control blocks for GOOSE, Sampled Values, and MMS. Edit GoCBs, SVCBs, and RCBs with capability-aware defaults for every vendor.
Two views. One subscriber model.
Drag GOOSE and Sampled Value bindings across vendors in the Flow view, or in the Matrix. Either way, you are editing the same devices, just through two different views.
See every issue before you write a single CID.
Pre-run gates surface cross-IED conflicts, per-relay errors, and warnings before any file is touched. Per-rule severity overrides let your team decide what blocks the build and what stays advisory.
Built different from the way you configure today.
StationBolt replaces the per-vendor, file-by-file way of configuring a digital substation with one project model that stays consistent from the one-line to the generated CIDs.
Single tool for everything
Configure SEL, GE, Siemens, and ABB in a single project.
Drawings that match the CIDs
A single device selection chooses both the drawing and CID templates, so they always match.
Catch conflicts before commissioning
Pre-run gates surface cross-IED conflicts before a single CID is written.
One project model
Edits in the one-line propagate downstream and only the affected CIDs regenerate.
The full IEC 61850 stack.
StationBolt supports the full IEC 61850 standard: multiple file types, all schema editions, and the real-time protocols, including vendor-specific extensions.
Drawings that stay in sync with the CIDs.
The same device selection that picks a CID template also picks the matching AutoCAD DWG template. StationBolt updates the text elements on that template from your station design, so the drawing set always matches the configuration files.
-
One selection, two outputs: choosing a device picks both the correct CID and the matching DWG template
-
Driven by the one-line: drawings regenerate from the station design and the same device selections
-
Text elements, not redrawing: StationBolt fills the template's text fields, so titles, IED names, and addresses always match the CIDs
From SCD import to generated CIDs, in one application.
The four stages share one project model. Edits cascade automatically, and only the affected CIDs regenerate.
Import
StationBolt validates against Edition 1, 2, and 2.1 with mixed-mode tolerance, preserves every vendor Private element, and indexes the whole data model.
Design
Build the topology on an infinite canvas. Voltage levels, buses, positions, equipment, relays, etc.
Configure
Map publishers to subscribers in the Sankey or Matrix. Edit control blocks, datasets, and capability inputs. Pre-run validation gates flag conflicts before generation.
Generate
Per-relay fingerprinting determines which relays need a rebuild. Drawings render via headless AutoCAD. The SCD merge deduplicates DataTypeTemplates and preserves vendor namespaces.
A desktop tool that respects your network.
StationBolt installs on your engineering workstations and works on your files locally. Your station data never leaves your network.
Runs on Windows 11
A WinUI 3 desktop application that installs on your engineering workstations like any other tool.
Your data stays local
StationBolt reads and writes your SCL files on your machine, so configuration data never leaves your network.
Supported by engineers
Backed by Coastal Grid's protection and automation engineers.
How is StationBolt licensed?
StationBolt is available through Coastal Grid for utilities and OEM integrators. Request a quote for per-seat or site licensing.
Can I bring an existing project?
Yes. Import existing SCD, CID, ICD, IID, SED, and SSD files across Edition 1, 2, and 2.1, with every vendor Private element preserved.
Where does my configuration data live?
On your machine. StationBolt works on your files locally, so your station data stays inside your network.
How do I evaluate it?
Start with one station. We scope a pilot, get StationBolt onto your workstations, and configure a real substation alongside your team.
A modern desktop app.
StationBolt puts substation configuration in a fast, familiar workspace instead of clunky legacy tooling, so your engineers can spend their time on the design in an easy-to-use interface.
Familiar Windows 11 interface
Built on WinUI 3 for Windows 11, so the app looks and behaves like the tools your team already uses every day.
Drag-and-drop design
Drop data model points into datasets and wire GOOSE/Sampled Value bindings easily while StationBolt keeps the model in sync.
Fast duplication
Copy a configured position, its equipment, and IEDs in one move to build out repetitive bays quickly.
Light & dark themes
Switch the whole app to match your preference. Your station data is the same either way.
