Section 4 Communication profileThe IEC 61850 standard is conceptually written to be independent of an existingcommunication media and message transmission concept. Out of this, a specificcommunication profile is decided and is been commonly used. The actual decision isfor• Ethernet as the media• TCP/IP• ISO session and presentation layer• MMS (Manufacturing Message Specification (ISO 9506-1 and ISO 9506-2)The IEC 61850 standard describes its requested services in ACSI, which is containedin part 7-2 of the standard. The mapping to the MMS for all aspects of services andEthernet usage is specified in part 8-1 of IEC 61850.Each device manufacturer, which is a partner of an IEC 61850-based communicationnetwork, has to take these two specifications and adapt their respective product to therequirements and definitions given in the standard. To make this profile visible to allother partners, so they can check what they can expect and what they have to support,the PICS document is defined. The PICS contains in a table based form the possibilityof a product or product family.IED ( server )(61850 services part7-2)Communication( MMS services part 8-1)- Access Point (AP ) / Address- GSEAPIED (client )(61850 services part 7-2)SubnetworkIED (server)(61850 services part 7-2)Communication(MMS services part 8-1)Communication( MMS services part 8-1)- Access Point (AP ) / Address- GSE-Access Point (AP) / Address- GSEGUID-5E41938B-BF64-4A80-8012-77DFF0D9D92D V1 ENFigure 6: IEC 61850 Protocol: related standards for communication1MRS756793 E Section 4Communication profile630 series 25Communication Protocol Manual
