October 2014 How to Create an IED Template Product SCADA Question In the past I had to manually create the IED database points in STC Explorer as I did not have a template. My company is now installing several more IED devices and I need to replicate the settings however I still do not have an available template. What can I do? Answer You have several options:  You can create a template using the STC documentation IED-100 IED Wizard Users Guide and IED-103 Template Maker Users Guide  You can use “Reverse Engineering” to turn a database into a template (Explained below) Procedure The following procedure describes how to turn a database into a template using reverse engineering. If you have a very customized database you can extract the station database from Scada and turn it into a template for the IED wizard so it can be reused as needed. 1. Go to Program Files(x86)>quindar>ScadaServer>SdeDump.exe (as shown below). 1 October 2014 2. Run SdeDump.exe as the Administrator. Result: The following window displays. 3.
