keys 2 and 3, either of the Nexus® 1500+ meter’s two Network
cards (Main or optional) has the ability to function as an IEC 61850 Protocol Network
server, certified to Edition 2 of the IEC 61850 protocol. (Note that only one of the
cards at a time can be enabled as the IEC 61850 Protocol server.) With the IEC 61850
Protocol Network server added to the Nexus® 1500+ meter, the unit becomes an
advanced intelligent device that can be networked on an IEC 61850 standard
network, within an electrical distribution system, or other application.
IEC 61850 was developed as a standard for the design of electrical substation auto-
mation, including the networking of substation devices. Edition 2 of the protocol
expands its utility, supporting additional processes, beyond substation automation.
The Nexus® 1500+ meter’s IEC 61850 implementation is compatible with any IEC
61850 Edition 2 application.
The IEC 61850 standard is part of the International Electrotechnical Commission's
(IEC) Technical Committee 57 (TC57). It consists of a suite of protocols (MMS [Manu-
facturing Message Specification], SMV [Sampled Measured Values], GOOSE [Generic
Object Oriented Substation Event], etc.) and abstract definitions that provide a stan-
dardized method of communication and integration to support intelligent electronic
devices (IEDs) from any vendor, networked together to perform protection, monitor-
ing, automation, metering and control in a substation environment. For more infor-
mation on IEC 61850 go to

IEC 61850 was developed to:
• Specify a design methodology for automation system construction.
• Reduce the effort for users to construct automation systems using devices from
multiple vendors.
• Assure interoperability between components within the automation system.
• “Future-proof” the system by providing simple upgrade paths as the underlying
technologies change.
