2001-08-28 ? SCC 2001 Page 1 of 11 Comparison of IEC 60870-5-101/-103/-104 and IEC 60870-6-TASE.2 with IEC 61850 Edited and drafted by Karlheinz Schwarz, SCC schwarz@scc-online.de www.scc-online.de 1 Objective Users and vendors of standard compliant power system products ask more frequently why a new International Standard for real-time communication (IEC 61850) will be published soon by IEC TC 57. The objective of this analysis is to provide a brief comparison of the available standards with the new standard IEC 61850 (see chapter 2 for full titles): — IEC 60870-5-101 Companion standard for basic telecontrol tasks — IEC 60870-5-103 Companion standard for the informative interface of protection equipment — IEC 60870-5-104 Network access for IEC 60870-5-101 using standard transport profiles — IEC 60870-6 Telecontrol equipment and systems - TASE.2 — IEC 61850 Communication networks and systems in substations (UCA?) The comparison in chapter 3 shows what the solutions have in common and what the main benefits and advantages of each solution are. The analysis addresses seven areas of interest: 1. General (Table 1) 2. Process data description (Table 2) 3. Operational services (Table 3) 4. Selfdescription services (Table 4) 5. Online configuration (Table 5) 6. Offline configuration (Table 6) 7. Architecture and communication stacks (Table 7) Chapter 4 provides a resume. The analysis is based on the experience and background information of several experts (convenors and other working group members) that are involved in several IEC TC 57 projects and UCA? for many years. These experts have reviewed this analysis. IEC 61850 is mainly based on UCA? (IEEE TR 1550). 17.10.01 ?
