Installation and Commissioning Manual
The IEC 61850 standard provides:
Standardized information models for all kinds of protection relays, controllers,
*
circuit-breakers, transformers, and so on.
Information exchange methods to access the information models' data: report
*
sequences-of-events, log historical data, control devices, sampled value
distribution, fast peer-to-peer process data exchange, and so on.
A unified system configuration language (XML-based) and device online self-

description.
Compared to other communication standards for substation automation, the
IEC 61850 standard defines data modeling and communication services for this
specific domain. Data modeling is mapped to a communication protocol,
Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS, ISO 9506 protocol), which uses TCP/
IP and Ethernet. In addition to the communication specifications, engineering
information exchange is defined in Substation Configuration Language (SCL),
which is an XML based language. SCL ensures that IEC 61850 compatible IEDs
can be integrated in one system. For more information on the IEC 61850 standard
documentation, see Section 1.4. Product documentation.
