scope:

This part of IEC 61850 specifies the specific communication service mappings for the communication between bay and process level and specially it specifies a mapping on a serial unidirectional multidrop point to point link in accordance with IEC 60044-8. This part of IEC 61850 specifies a mapping of the abstract service for the transmission of sampled values (as defined in IEC 61850-7-2) on a serial unidirectional multidrop point to point link in accordance with IEC 60044-8. It applies to the communication between merging units of electronic current (ECT) or voltage-transformers (EVT) and bay devices such as protection relays. If higher requirements om samlpling rate, further sampled measured value data sets in addition to the universal data set, inter-bay communication and synchronisation apply, these will be covered by IEC 61850-9-2 3. Figure 1 shows the schematics of this interface.
