Communication Profile - ABB Relion 650 Series Communication Protocol Manual

1MRK 511 415-UEN Rev. F
Section 4
The IEC 61850 standard is conceptually written to be independent of an existing communication
media and message transmission concept. Out of this, a specific communication profile is decided
and has been commonly used. The profile contains:
• Ethernet as the media
• TCP/IP
• ISO session and presentation layer
• MMS (Manufacturing Message Specification (ISO 9506-1 and ISO 9506-2)
The IEC 61850 standard describes its requested services in ACSI, which is contained in part 7-2 of
the standard. The mapping to the MMS for all aspects of services and Ethernet usage is specified in
part 8-1 of IEC 61850.
Each device manufacturer, which is a partner of an IEC 61850 based communication network, has to
take these two specifications and adapt their respective product to the requirements and definitions
given in the standard. To make this profile visible to all other partners, so they can check what they
can expect and what they have to support, the PICS document is defined. The PICS contains in a
table based form the possibility of a product or product family.
