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 400-BB and SPA-ZC 400-MM Product Overview

SPA-ZC 400-BB and SPA-ZC 400-MM versions have the same IEC 61850
functionality as described in Section 2.1. SPA-ZC 400 Product Overview. In
addition, these versions include an optional fibre optic interface.
This optional interface provides connection between the RE_ 54_ device and the
®
fibre-optic SPA, LON
converts incoming optical signals from the SPA, LON
to electrical RS-485 signals for the RE_54_ devices and vice versa. It contains a
®
service pin for LON nodes.
The optional interface can be used in the Loop and Star type bus topologies. Also
the module's line idle state is selectable. The light can be turn on or off. The jumpers
select the bus topology (Loop or Star) depending on whether the light is turned on/
off.
