Configuring digital outputs for IEC 61850 control
Configure default settings for digital outputs to use IEC 61850 for non-critical control of the
meter’s digital outputs.
This procedure is optional. Your meter has comprehensive default settings for IEC 61850 that
meet the needs of most systems without configuration. This is an advanced procedure that
requires in-depth knowledge of your meter, its underlying architecture, and the system in which it
is installed.
