Process Bus Fundamentals
Background

Why there is “Process Bus”?


Several drivers have propelled the development of the
process bus technology and the standards related:

§ Seek for space and cost reduction in existing and new


power system facilities
§ Continuous improvement of the security for personal and
assets
§ Fast evolution of the Ethernet technology
§ Usability of new digital technologies
(i.e. Instrument transformers)
§ Simplification of installation and maintenance of the field –
bay interface

sampling can be synchronized both between MUs and to an external time reference. The
synchronization signal shall be a 1PPS input according the specification in IEC 60044-8,

Comm. Reliability – SMV Definition

§ SMV are defined with priority


tagging and VLAN (IEEE 802.1 Q) to
achieve the QoS
§ Messages are mapped directly to
the Ethernet data link layer
§ Elimination of TCP/IP layer reduces
the transmission reliability – there is
no information of loss messages
§ SMV can not be repeated as
GOOSE messages due to data
overflow risk in the network

Data transmission reliability must be increased by use of network


redundancy schemes
