During the following tests of the different functions in the IED, verify that the
events and indications in the IEC master system are as expected.
6.3 Fiber optic loop
M11905-3 v7
The SPA communication is mainly used for SMS. It can include different
numerical IEDs with remote communication possibilities. The fiber optic loop can
contain < 20-30 IEDs depending on requirements on response time. Connection to
a personal computer (PC) can be made directly (if the PC is located in the
substation) or by telephone modem through a telephone network with ITU
(CCITT) characteristics.
