Device) from several manufacturers
–  Use this information for the own function

•  Free Configuration
–  Free allocation of functions to devices
–  Support any philosophy of our customer – centralized or
decentralized systems

•  Long Term Stability

–  Future proof
–  Follow progress in mainstream communication technology
–  Follow evolving system requirements needed by our customers

 UTINNOVATION

IEC 61850 communication

•  Uses the strengths of the OSI 7 layer communication model

•  Station bus
–  Communication between IED and master stations
–  Data sent event driven from IED to master (Buffered or un-buffered)
–  Inter IED data exchange through multi-cast GOOSE messages

•  Process bus
–  Communication between plant equipment and IEDs (switchgear,
Instrument transformers)
–  Event driven or GOOSE as with station bus
–  Exchange of sampled values

•  Bus separation is becoming less distinct
