The main target of the IEC 61850 standard is to improve the automation of the electrical substation. Avoiding proprietary protocols and being able to integrate equipment of different manufacturers “interoperability”. Using technologies that can reduce the cost in wiring and engineering time. Seeking for improvements in the commissioning and maintenance tasks.

ENSOTEST & IEC 61850
ENSOTEST has been working many years with this standard. Also we have develop software tools based on this protocol. Visit our product page to look at it. For that reason we have the experience and to create the best content about this standard.
INTRODUCTION TO THE IEC 61850 STANDARD The IEC 61850 protocol The main target of the IEC 61850 standard is: TO IMPROVE THE AUTOMATION OF THE ELECTRICAL SUBSTATIONS. Avoiding proprietary protocols and being able to integrate equipment of different manufacturers. This concept is called interoperability. Using technologies that can reduce the cost in wiring and engineering time. Seeking for improvements in the commissioning and maintenance tasks. In order to achieve this goal the standard develops 3 principles: The definition of a unified information model with a naming hierarchy and specific data structures to use in any compliant device. Vendors are request ...
