Section 9 Establishing connection and verifying
the IEEE C37.118/1344 communication
9.1 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.
9.2 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 .
9.3 Setting the PMU station communication (PMU
configuration)
GUID-B4BA9F74-5E28-42FC-8F33-0BC98D5AE6B0 v2
To enable IEEE C37.118/1344 communication, the corresponding OEM ports must be activated. The
galvanic Ethernet front port and the rear optical ports can be used for IEEE C37.118/1344
communication.
To enable IEEE C37.118/1344 synchrophasor communication:
1. Enable communication for by navigating to: Main menu /Configuration /Communication /
Ethernet configuration .
