Section 14  Establishing connection and verifying the
IEC 61850 communication
About this chapter
This chapter contains instructions on how to establish connection and verify that
the IEC 61850 communication operates as intended, when the IED is connected to
an Ethernet network via the optical ports of the OEM.
14.1  Overview
The rear OEM ports are used for substation bus (IEC 61850-8-1) communication.
For IEC 61850-8-1 redundant communication, both rear OEM ports are utilized. In
this case IEC 61850-9-2LE communication can not be used.
IEC 61850-9-2LE process bus communication is not supported in
the IED.
14.2  Setting the station communication
To enable IEC 61850 communication the corresponding OEM ports must be
activated. The rear OEM port AB and CD is used for IEC 61850-8-1
communication. For IEC 61850-8-1 redundant communication, both OEM port AB
and CD are used exclusively.
To enable IEC 61850 station communication:
1. Enable IEC 61850-8-1 (substation bus) communication for port AB.
1.1. Set values for the rear port AB.
Navigate to: Main menu/Settings/general settings/Communication/
Ethernet configuration/Rear OEM - port AB
Set values for Mode, IPAddress and IPMask. Mode must be set to
Normal.
Check that the correct IP address is assigned to the port.
1.2. Enable IEC 61850-8-1 communication.
Navigate to: Main menu/Settings/General settings/Communication/
Station communication/IEC 61850-8-1
