Figure 88: IEC 60870-5-104 user point list configuration settings
The following settings are available.
Binary Input Point 0, Binary Input Point 1,..., Binary Input Point 255
Range: any FlexLogic™ operand
Default: Off
These settings represent the IEC 60870-5-104 binary MSP points and are configured by
assigning an appropriate FlexLogic™ operand. Up to 256 MSP points can be configured
for the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol.
Analog Input Point 0, Analog Input Point 1,..., Analog Input Point 255
Range: any FlexAnalog™ parameter
Default: Off
These settings represent the IEC 60870-5-104 analog MME points and are configured by
assigning an appropriate FlexAnalog™ parameter. Up to 256 MME points can be
configured for the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol.
IEC 61850 communications
The D90
Plus
supports the Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) protocol as specified
by IEC 61850. MMS is supported over the TCP/IP over Ethernet protocol stack. Polling,
unbuffered reporting, and buffered reporting are supported. Direct operate and select-
before-operate are also supported.
GSSE/GOOSE configuration
IEC 61850 provides two fast mechanisms to exchange information between peers in a
substation. One is used for transferring status information only, and is called Generic
Substation Status Event (GSSE). The other includes support for a variety of in-formation
types including measured values. It is called the Generic Object Oriented Substation Event
(GOOSE) mechanism.
GOOSE or GSSE messages are multicast repeatedly across a substation LAN. All devices on
the LAN can receive these messages, but only those devices that require the data are
configured to act on them. Because there is no handshaking between devices, GOOSE and
