Section 19 Ethernet-based communication
19.1 Access point
19.1.1 Application
GUID-2942DF07-9BC1-4F49-9611-A5691D2C925C v1
The access points are used to connect the IED to the communication buses (like the
station bus) that use communication protocols. The access point can be used for single
and redundant data communication. The access points are also used for communication
with the merging units and for time synchronization using Precision Time Protocol
(PTP).
19.1.2 Setting guidelines
GUID-CEDC23B1-09F6-4C85-98D8-9D8E2C2553FE v1
The physical ports allocated to access points 2–6 have to be added in
the hardware tool in PCM600 before the access points can be
configured. The factory setting only includes the physical ports
allocated to the front port and access point 1.
The settings for the access points are configured using the Ethernet configuration tool
(ECT) in PCM600.
The access point is activated if the Operation checkbox is checked for the respective
access point and a partial or common write to IED is performed.
To increase security, it is recommended to deactivate the access point
when it is not in use.
Redundancy and PTP cannot be set for the front port (Access point 0) as redundant
communication and PTP are only available for the rear optical Ethernet ports.
Subnetwork shows the SCL subnetwork to which the access point is connected. This
column shows the SCL subnetworks available in the PCM600 project. SCL
subnetworks can be created/deleted in the Subnetworks tab of IEC 61850
Configuration tool in PCM600.
