Installation and Commissioning Manual

Product overview

SPA-ZC 402 is used to connect one IED with the fibre-optic SPA bus to the
IEC 61850 Station bus. The IEC 61850 standard defines the IEC 61850
communication and engineering specifications. SPA-ZC 402 offers also the
possibility to access the device with the SPA protocol over the TCP/IP network
using the same Ethernet link.

It is not allowed to connect multiple SPA devices to SPA-ZC 402 in the
SPA loop because of performance reasons. If SPA-ZC 402 is an
integral part of a bigger rack, for example of a SPACOM 300 series
rack, configure all devices under the same SPA-ZC 402. The
SPACOM 300 series rack is one SPA device.
The mechanical and electrical connection of the Ethernet adapter to an IED interface
is described in Section 5. Installation. The Ethernet adapter programming is
described in Section 6. Engineering.
It is a prerequisite to understand the communication properties of Intelligent
Electronic Devices (IED) before connecting to the Ethernet adapter. This
information is available in the manual for the protection relay in question. It is also
necessary to have basic understanding of the IEC 61850 system to which the IEDs
will be connected.
