Section 11 Establishing connection and verifying the
IEEE C37.118/1344 communication
11.1 Overview
GUID-EFD77C28-6F7C-4277-8C7E-30E78CC8EFAD v3
The IED can support synchrophasor data communication via IEEE C37.118 and/or
IEEE1344 with maximum 8 TCP clients and 6 UDP client groups, simultaneously.
The rear OEM ports are used for IEEE C37.118/1344 communication. The same ports
can also be used for substation bus (IEC 61850-8-1) communication and process bus
(IEC/UCA 61850-9-2LE) communication where applicable.
In order to establish a connection between PMU and a TCP/UDP client (PDC client),
an Ethernet communication link (e.g. optical fiber) shall be available and the required
parameters on both PMU and the TCP/UDP client shall be set. For the purpose of this
section, an Open PDC tool (PMU Connection Tester) installed on a PC is used as the
TCP/UDP client.
11.2 Setting the PMU station communication (PMU Report)
GUID-B8DCD7BA-AEBA-4977-89D4-2F18ECE34A2F v1
1. Check the settings for the PMU Report parameters by navigating to: Main menu/
Configuration/Communication/Station communication/phasor
measurement/PMU Report/PMUREPORT:1
1.1. Make sure that the operation of at least one PMU instance (e.g. PMU1) is
Enabled.
1.2. Enable sending the frequency data by setting the parameter SendFreqInfo to
Enabled.
2. Check the operation of the required phasor channels (PHASORREPORT) by
navigating to: Main menu/Configuration/Communication/Station
communication/phasor measurement/PMU Report/PHASORREPORT:x.
