Introduction
Using the SPA-ZC 402, an Intelligent Elec-
tronic Device (IED) with a fibre optic SPA
bus can be connected to the Ethernet based
IEC 61850-8-1 station bus.
IEC 61850 is the new standard for substation
communication. Additionally to being a com-
munication standard, it also supports general
substation automation functions as well as the
engineering process.
SPA-ZC 402 also enables ethernet access to
an IED using the SPA over TCP/IP and Mod-
bus over TCP/IP.
The SPA-ZC 402 acts as a communication
adapter between the SPA bus and the IEC
61850-8-1 station bus. The SPA-ZC 402

Data subject to change without notice
• Easy-to-use configuration tool for the
IEC 61850 data mapping
• Communication over SPA/TCP
• Communication over Modbus/TCP
maps the SPA protocol interface to the IEC
61850-8-1 standard. This enables connecting
products with optical SPA interface to IEC
61850 based networks in both new and retro-
fit installations.
More information on how to physically con-
nect the device can be found in the chapter 5
of the Installation and Commissioning man-
ual. SPA-ZC 402 programming is described
in the Installation and commissioning man-
ual, chapter 6, Engineering.
As a prerequisite, you should understand the
communication properties of the IED that is
to be connected to Ethernet adapter. This
information is available in the manual for the
protection IED in question.
