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.
