Establishing connection and verifying the
station communication
3.1
Setting the station communication
IEC 61850 communication is always included in 630 series IEDs and it is enabled by
default. IEC 61850 communication configuration is done using IET600 and
PCM600.
Based on ordering and licensing either DNP3 or IEC 60870-5-103 can be included in
addition to IEC 61850. Mapping data points to DNP3 protocol is done using
Communication Management in PCM600, and mapping data points to IEC
60870-5-103 protocol is done using Application Configuration in PCM600.
•
To enable or disable a station protocol, set the parameter
Operation
to "On" or
"Off" in
Main menu/Configuration/Communication
.
•
IEC 61850 GOOSE receive functions are disabled by default. Set the parameter
Operation
to "On" or "Off" in
Main menu/Configuration/Communication/
1:IEC61850-8-1/GOOSE
.
3.2
Verifying the communication
The station communication status is shown in
Main menu/Monitoring/IED status
.
The IEC 60870-5-103 communication status is not available in the
IED status menu.
If the station control system is not available for verifying the communication, then
separate testing or diagnostics tools made for the specific protocol must be used.
For example, for IEC 61850 communication, ABB provides Integrated Testing Tool
ITT600 SA Explorer. It is designed for easy on-line diagnosis and troubleshooting of
IEC 61850 based substation automation systems.
