The Smart Substation Control and Protection device has been fully designed according to IEC 61850. This means that the functionality of the protection device is represented in a data model in accordance with the standard and the protection devices support a wide range of the services provided by the standard.
- Process data: monitoring of statuses and measurements
- Application data: protection activation, tripping, fault recordings
- Disturbance records
- Control commands
- Protection settings
- Settings and setting groups
- Configuration data
- Diagnostics and self-supervision
- Fast horizontal communication between devices
- Time synchronization
- File transfer
As this series of IEDs supports both versions of IEC 61850, Edition 1 and Edition 2, there are small differences with IEC 61850 data model depending of the used version. Generally the IED’s protection and control functionality is independent of the IEC 61850 version used. Any differences between data model versions are documented.
If the protection IED is ordered with no Ethernet communication interface, the local port / remote port on the device still works according to IEC 61850. All settings and configurations are changed with IEC 61850 services using PCM600 via the local / remote Ethernet port of the LHMI. Without the rear Ethernet option, station communication is not available.
