Process Bus based on SIPROTEC 5 merging unit
SIPROTEC 6MU85

The Merging Unit is the interoperable interface,

between primary and secondary equipment for process bus
solutions, conforming to IEC 61869 and IEC 61850-9-2.

Measured values of conventional and low power instrument

transformers are converted into standardized, Ethernet-based
telegrams (SMV).

• Concentration of Line Differential Protection on one side of the line,

measurement acquisition based on IEC 61850-9-2

• Line differential protection with mix of measurement acquisition, for

example direct analog inputs from CIT, sample values from CIT, and
sample values from LPIT

• Interoperability between SIPROTEC 4 connected to directly to the

analog inputs, and SIPROTEC 5 based on SMV IEC 61850-9-2
