Overview

The rear optical Ethernet ports are used for:
• process bus (IEC/UCA 61850-9-2LE) communication
• IEEE C37.118/1344 communication
• substation bus (IEC 61850-8-1) communication
8.2

Setting the station communication

To enable IEC 61850 communication, the corresponding ports must be activated. The rear
access points can be used for IEC 61850-8-1 and IEC/UCA 61850-9-2LE communication. IEC
61850-8-1 redundant communication requires the use of two Ethernet ports, when it is
activated for Ethernet port the next immediate port is selected as the second Ethernet port
and will become hidden.
To enable IEC 61850 station communication:
1. Activate IEC 61850-8-1 (substation bus) communication.
Navigate to: Main menu/Configuration/Communication/Station communication/
IEC61850–8–1/IEC61850–8–1:1
2. Enable operation for Access Point 1 and 3 in the Ethernet configuration tool (ECT) in
PCM600.
3. Enable redundant communication for Acess point 1 using ECT.
4. Enable IEC/UCA 61850-9-2LE (process bus) communication for Access point 3 by
connecting it to a Merging unit in the Merging units tab in ECT.
There are no settings needed for the IEC/UCA 61850-9-2LE communication in the local HMI
branch Station communication. Make sure that the optical fibers are connected correctly.
Communication is enabled whenever the merging unit starts sending data.

Verifying the communication

To verify that the communication is working a test/analyzing tool, for example ITT600, can be
used.
Verifying redundant IEC 61850-8-1 communication
Ensure that the IED receives IEC 61850-8-1 data on the selected Ethernet ports. Browse in the
local HMI to Main menu/Diagnostics/Communication/Ethernet status/Access point/
