Introduction to IEC 61850 standard

The IEC 61850 standard defines the communication between IEDs in substations.
IEDs support the following functions:
• Protection and control
• Integration of innovative sensor and switch technologies
• Metering, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA)
• Remote monitoring and fault diagnostics
• Automated dispatch and control
• Asset management
• Condition monitoring and diagnostics
IEC 61850 provides:
• Standardized information models for all kind of protection relays, controllers,
circuit-breakers, transformers, etc.
• 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, etc.
• A unified system configuration language (XML based) and device on-line 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 SCL, which is a XML based language. For more
information on the IEC 61850 standard documentation, see Section 1.8. Related

SPA-ZC 402 Features

• IEC 61850 connectivity for IED with fibre optic SPA bus
• Auxiliary power supply
• Easy-to-use configuration tool for the IEC 61850 data mapping
• Support of SPA communication over TCP/IP
All relay data can be routed through SPA-ZC 402. It is intended to route the process
data (status, measurements and commands) through the IEC 61850-8-1 bus and the
rest of the available data can be routed through SPA over TCP/IP.
