a substation automation solution designed to satisfy
the real-time monitoring and event recording needs
of AC network operators.
Router
M870D The MiCOM 70 Series Measurement System consists
M871 of four component types. These components form a
real-time monitoring and event recording system for
use in high voltage AC substations. The component
types are monitoring and recording IEDs, detached
displays, firmware,
and software.

MiCOM 70 SERIES MEASUREMENT SYSTEM COMPONENTS

> COMPONENT 1: 70 Series Monitoring and Recording IEDs

M571 M571
Each Monitoring and Recording IED has pre-arranged channel inputs for different
substation elements - feeder, transformer, single bus, and dual bus.
There are two families:
• The M57x Compact Family design optimizes lower prices for lesser options -
options are built-in at time of order.
• The M87x Modular Family design has a wider operating frequency range and allows
many more options to be added at any time.

> COMPONENT 2: 70D Family of Displays

The 70D displays give a choice for flush or surface switchboard mounting
remotely from 70 Series IEDs.

> COMPONENT 3: 70 Series Firmware

70 Series Firmware is imbedded in all 70 Series IEDs to support functions
typically found in :
Customer benefits • Disturbance Recorders
• SOE Recorders
• Preempt catastrophic
events. • Trend Recorders
• Lower investigative • Revenue Meters
expenses. • Power Quality Monitors
• Reduce your automation • AC Switchboard Meters
investment. • SCADA Transducers
• Improve Security.
• Lower life-cycle costs. > COMPONENT 4: 70 Series Software
• Protect your investment. 70 Series Software is an integrated set of PC-based programs
to facilitate implementation and operation of the
70 Series Measurement System.

IMPROVE SECURITY OF
OPERATION BY DESIGN:
>> Ensure enterprise-wide retrieval of event files
without exposing relay IEDs to security issues.
Using separate IEDs for monitoring and recording
insures limited access by foreign intruders to the
safety and protection systems as well as verifying
the protection system operation.
>> If the relay doesn't operate, the cause may never
be known, so an independent IED is essential.
>> The common task of setting triggers
can be done without the re-commissioning
of the relay.
 70 SERIES FIRMWARE Each 70 Series IED records and saves the events and
trends based on user configured criteria. This criteria
may include conditions associated with all the

A DISTURBANCE:
>> Enable utility operation personnel to never miss the
varying length of disturbances on an AC network
by employing high fidelity multi-mode recorders
with megabytes of non-volatile memory.

sags and swells, frequency deviations and power
swings.

 USE SUBSTATION LANS TO REDUCE
YOUR AUTOMATION INVESTMENT:
>> Lower your initial investment by employing a LAN-based IED family
that permits the initial purchase of just what you need for the current
budgeted project but allows for easy expansion in the future.
>> Reduce investment further by employing switchyard grade IEDs
that allow physical distribution into the yards, which provides
further wiring cost savings.
>> Lower integration costs by incorporating this technology into
an e-terra or PACiS automaton solution from AREVA T&D.
