Issue

During the IOP test (SCL_ABB_ALSTOM.doc) it was not clear how the SCT should handle an ICD file with conflicting capabilities: ConfReportControl is present and one of the ReportSettings is fixed (e.g. cbName, datSet). In case the SCT adds a report control block it does not know what the fixed value should be.
We see 3 possible solutions:
1) the ConfReportControl dominates over ReportSettings
2) the ReportSettings dominates the ConfReportControl
3) such combination of capabilities is not allowed and shall be prohibited (fail the server conformance test)

The same issue applies also to GOOSE, SV and LOG control blocks control blocks.

Proposal

Option 3) a combination of ConfReportControl and a fixed ReportSettings shall be prohibited (the ConfReportControl shall be removed)

Same for GOOSE, SV and LOG control blocks.
