Full 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.
Build the datasets. Configure the reports.
Build datasets straight from the device data model, then wire them to report control blocks with trigger options and optional fields per relay. Wire 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.
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.
Catch what per-IED tools cannot see.
Because the entire station lives 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.
Generate the station. Only what changed.
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, for substation engineers.
StationBolt replaces the per-vendor, file-by-file way of configuring a digital substation with one project model. The full station is in one tool, from the one-line to the generated SCD, CIDs, drawings, and reports.
See the whole station
Design and review the complete station in one project: every voltage level, position, and IED.
Every vendor in one tool
Configure SEL, GE, Siemens, ABB, and more in the same project, with capability-aware defaults for each device.
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, dangling subscriptions, and more, all caught before commissioning starts.
Simplified change management
Make a change once, in one software. It propagates from the one-line to datasets, control blocks, and mappings, and only the affected CIDs regenerate.
Copy and paste, at any scale
Duplicate a full station, a position, or a single IED. Everything comes along: equipment, features, addressing, and configuration.
A comprehensive SCL tool
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 that match the CIDs
A single device selection chooses both the drawing and CID templates, so they always match.
The full IEC 61850 stack.
StationBolt supports the full IEC 61850 standard for substation configuration: 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 templates. StationBolt updates the text elements on those drawing templates from your station design, so the drawing set matches the configuration files.
-
One selection, two outputs: 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, updated automatically: StationBolt generates a new drawing package per device, filling the AutoCAD DWG fields with the drawing number, position, equipment, IED names, titles, and more, straight from the station design
-
Every sheet in the package: One-lines, schematics, wiring diagrams, and whatever else your standard set includes, each updated to the station design instead of redrawn by hand
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, so you always know which revision you are looking at

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 instead of one device file at a time, 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 are partially supported, with full support coming soon. Other vendors, including Schneider and NR, can be imported but not yet fully configured. Any mix of vendors can share one project.
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 works on your files locally, so your station data stays inside your network.
How do I evaluate it?
Run a 30-day trial on your own. Contact us for a trial license key, install StationBolt on your workstations, and configure a real station at your own pace. We can also scope a pilot alongside your team if you want help getting started.
What is coming next?
SSD file creation is coming soon, so you can author the station specification directly in StationBolt.
