straton IEC 61850

Energy industries standard protocol

IEC 61850 standard provides a consistent standard unifying

substation automation and distributed power generation
equipment, from the switchgear right up to supervisory
control and monitoring functions.

Worldwide standard straton with IEC 61850

IEC 61850 is a worldwide accepted standard that defines
the communication between electrical switchgear, control
equipment in substation automation and the related sys-
tem re-quirements. It has been devised to send messages
between sender and receiver in an optimal way, making
communication as direct as possible to avoid losses in per-
formance and functionality.
What are the advantages?
Because many different communication protocols are be-
ing used in substation automation, protocol converters are
commonplace. Equipment vendors are facing significant
challenges interfacing communications, leading to higher
development costs for hardware vendors and increased inte-
gration and maintenance costs for network operators.
fast facts
Compatible and open with hardware and software
Redundant an secure applications
KEMA certification of our customers under IEC 61850
Wide range of tools to manage several plateforms
straton IEC 61850 includes as well the definition of the
parameters (creation of ICD with the SCL editor) as the
use of these parameters (the import of file of parameter
setting is supported).
Easy to use
