General
This part of IEC 61850 specifies constructed attribute classes and common data classes related to substation applications. In particular, it specifies:
- common data classes for status information,
- common data classes for measured information,
- common data classes for control,
- common data classes for status settings,
- common data classes for analogue settings and
- attribute types used in these common data classes.
This International Standard is applicable to the description of device models and functions of substations and feeder equipment.
This International Standard may also be applied, for example, to describe device models and functions for:
- substation to substation information exchange,
- substation to control centre information exchange,
- power plant to control centre information exchange,
- information exchange for distributed generation, or
- information exchange for metering.
Namespace name and version
This new section is mandatory for any IEC 61850 namespace (as defined by IEC 61850-7- 1:2011).
The parameters which are identifying this new release of this namespace are:
- Namespace Version: 2007
- Namespace Revision: B
- Namespace name: "IEC 61850-7-3:2007B"
- Namespace release: 3
- Namespace release date: 2019-10-02
IEC 61850-7-3 depends on IEC 61850-7-2:2007B latest release.
The table below provides an overview of all published versions of this namespace.
Code Component distribution
The Code Component will be available in light and full version:
- Full version will contain definition of the whole LNs defined in this standard with the documentation associated and access will be restricted to purchaser of this part.
- Light version will not contain the documentation but will contain the whole definition of the LNs as per full version, and this light version will be freely accessible on the IEC website for download, but the usage remains under the licensing conditions.
The Code Components for IEC 61850 data models (like basic types, presence conditions, … definition in this IEC standard) are available as the file format NSD defined by IEC 61850-7-7.
The Code Component(s) included in this IEC standard are potentially subject to maintenance works and user shall select the latest release in the repository located at:
The latest version/release of the document will be found by selecting the file IEC_61850-7-3.NSD.{V
Each Code Component is a ZIP package containing the electronic representation of the Code Component itself, with a file describing the content of the package (IECManifest.xml).
The IECManifest contains different sections giving information on:
- The copyright notice
- The identification of the code component
- The publication related to the code component
- The list of the electronic files which compose the code component
- An optional list of history files to track changes during the evolution process of the code component
The life cycle of a code component is not restricted to the life cycle of the related publication. The publication life cycle goes through two stages, Version (corresponding to an edition) and Revision (corresponding to an amendment). A third publication stage (Release) allows publication of Code Component without need to publish an amendment.
This is useful when InterOp Tissues need to be fixed. Then a new release of the Code Component will be released, which supersedes the previous release, and distributed through the IEC TC57 web site.
