What is 61850?
IEC 61850 is an international standard defining communication protocols for intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) at electrical substations. It provides a standardized way for devices from different vendors to communicate and exchange data, enabling advanced substation automation, monitoring, and control. It is commonly used for protection, control, monitoring, and metering functions within substations and other power system applications.
What other technologies are related to 61850?
61850 Competitor Technologies
DNP3
DNP3 is a communication protocol used in SCADA systems and is a competitor to IEC 61850, particularly in North America, as both are used for similar functions in the electrical grid, such as substation automation.
Modbus
Modbus is a serial communication protocol widely used in industrial automation systems. While it can coexist with IEC 61850, it serves as a competitor in some applications due to its alternative approach to communication between devices, particularly in legacy systems or simpler applications. Although, it can be seen as complementary, it has less focus on interoperability.
