IEC 61850 is an Ethernet-based protocol standard used mainly in substations for data communication. Substations use a number of controllers for a variety of purposes, including protection, measurement, detection, alarms, and monitoring. Problems arise when substation designers integrate controllers from different manufacturers. Since the different controllers often use different communication protocols, the cost of protocol integration and system maintenance can be high.
