Modbus TCP to IEC-61850 Gateway

IEC 61850 is an international standard defining communication protocols for intelligent electronic devices at electrical substations. It is developed by the International Electro-technical Commission’s (IEC) Technical Committee 57 reference architecture for electric power systems. The objective of the standard is to specify requirements and to provide a framework to achieve interoperability between the IEDs supplied from different suppliers. This protocol can run over TCP/IP networks or substation LANs using high speed switched Ethernet to obtain the necessary response times below four milliseconds for protective relaying.

The ICP DAS IEC850-211-S is a network gateway that allows IEC-61850 MMS client to access Modbus TCP network as a Modbus TCP client. IEC-61850 protocol is used in substation automation applications. The IEDs exchange information with other IEDs or SCADA via IEC-61850 protocol for protection and control devices. The ICP DAS IEC850-211-S support Logical Node GGIO and Data Object Ind, IntIn, SPCSO, ISCSO. It also support data set and unbuffered report function to exchange data with a client. The data mapping rule can be configured via ICPDAS Utility.
