7.1

Overview

The Ethernet ports are used for:

•

substation bus (IEC 61850-8-1) communication

7.2

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 communication. Redundant communication requires the use of

two Ethernet ports, when it is activated for an Ethernet port the next immediate port is selected as the

second Ethernet port and will become hidden.

To enable IEC 61850 station communication:

Activate IEC 61850-8-1 (substation bus) communication.

Navigate to: Main menu /Configuration/Communication /Station communication/

IEC61850–8–1 /IEC61850–8–1:1

Enable operation for Access Point 1 and 3 in the Ethernet configuration tool (ECT) in PCM600.

Enable redundant communication for Acess point 1 using ECT.

7.3

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 /

APStatusRedundant /RCHLCCH:1 and check that ChARedStatus and ChBRedStatus are shown

as Ok. This is only applicable if redundant communication is used. Remove the optical connection to

one of the Ethernet ports. Verify that either signal status (depending on which connection that was

removed) is shown as Error and the that other signal is shown as Ok. Be sure to re-connect the

removed connection after completed verification.
