Common Communication protocols in Substation automation systems
.webp)
Substation automation systems use several communication protocols to enable the exchange of information between different devices and systems. Some of the most common protocols used in substation automation systems include: IEC 61850: This is a communication protocol standard for substation automation that defines a set of rules for the exchange of information between different devices in a substation. It is designed to improve the interoperability, flexibility, and functionality of substation automation systems. Modbus: Modbus is a communication protocol used in industrial automation systems. It is a simple protocol that allows data to be transmitted over serial communication lines between different devices. It is widely used in substation automation systems for communication between intelligent electronic devices (IEDs). DNP3: Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3) is a communication protocol used in the power utility industry for communication between remote terminal units (RTUs) and...
