Package for IEC 61850
From an information flow point of view (independent of C/S and
P/S) there are different levels of relations: (#1) the Application (IEC 61400-25) available
Layer Protocol or communication view (see first slide); (#2) the (2017-07-03)

Old Demo Kit (Windows

server over TCP/IP (Ethernet). This is a 1:1 connection at protocol
level. A server may communicate with many clients (one TCP/IP executable SW and with
connection between each client and server). The connection is Application SW Source
opened by the client. Note: a real device could play both roles - in Code (C++/C#) - 2015-
MMS an association (connection) allows both devices to play both 06-12
roles (this is not yet used in IEC 61850)!

The slide also shows the publisher and subscriber. The publisher basics ... Gateway
sends multicast messages that are picked-up by subscribers. The applications
subscriber is (at communication level) NOT subscribing to the
subscriber. The message is just sent and any device that has a
subscriber role picks-up the messages it wants to receive. Each Training by
multicast message has an identification (let's say number 277). NettedAutomation
The publisher does NOT know who is receiving the messages. This

A device that has a Server can model Data (in LD/LN), e.g. status ►  2014 (129)
