Communication

The IED supports the following communication protocols: IEC 61850-8-1, IEC/UCA
61850-9-2LE, SPA, IEC 60870-5-103, LON, DNP3, C37.118 and IEEE1344.
All operational information and controls are available through these protocols. However, some
communication functionality, for example, horizontal communication between the IEDs, is only
enabled by the IEC 61850-8-1 communication protocol (GOOSE) and as Network Variables on
LON.
The serial communication follows the EIA-485 standard and is intended to be used in multi-
point communication.
Disturbance files are accessed using the IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-103, DNP, SPA, LON or FTP
protocols. The disturbances are in COMTRADE format. The IED can send binary signals to other
IEDs (so called horizontal communication) using the IEC 61850-8-1 GOOSE (Generic Object
Oriented Substation Event) profile or through LON network variables. Binary GOOSE
messaging can, for example, be employed for protection and interlocking-based protection
schemes.
The IED meets the GOOSE performance requirements for tripping applications in transmission
substations, as defined by the IEC 61850 standard. Further, the IED supports the sending and
receiving of analog values using GOOSE messaging. Analog GOOSE messaging enables fast
transfer of analog measurement values over the station bus.
The IED interoperates with other IEC 61850 compliant IEDs, tools and systems and
simultaneously reports events to eight different clients on the IEC 61850 station bus. For a
system using DNP3 over TCP/IP, events can be sent to four different masters. For systems
using IEC 60870-5-103 IED can be connected to one master in a station bus with star-topology.
The IED has a number of communication ports which support different protocols:
Communication media
Ethernet (fiber-optic multimode LC connector, that is
100BASE-FX)
Optical Serial port (glass with ST connector or plastic
with HFBR snap-in connector)
Optical LON port (glass with ST connector or plastic
with HFBR snap-in connector)
RS485
The IED supports GPS, IRIG-B, PPS, SNTP, PTP or Binary time synchronization methods with a
time-stamping resolution of 1 ms or better. Alternative time synchronization methods are
LON, SPA, DNP or IED 60870-5-103.
