Installation and Commissioning Manual

Product overview

SPA-ZC 400 is used to connect one REF 541/3/5, REM 543/5 or
RET 541/3/5 device to the IEC 61850 Station bus. The IEC 61850 standard
defines the IEC 61850 communication and engineering specifications. In
addition to the IEC 61850 communication, SPA-ZC400EMP and
SPA-ZC400EMG versions provide simultaneous dual port communication
for fibre-optic SPA and LON. SPA-ZC 400 offers also the possibility to
access the device with the SPA protocol over the TCP/IP network using the
same Ethernet link.

The mechanical and electrical connection of the Ethernet adapter to a
REF 541/3/5, REM 543/5 or RET 541/3/5 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.
