PD IEC/TS 61850-7-7:2018

This standard PD IEC/TS 61850-7-7:2018 Communication networks and systems for power utility automation is classified in these ICS categories:

• 33.200 Telecontrol. Telemetering

1.1 General

This part of IEC 61850, which is a Technical Specification, specifies a way to model the code components of IEC 61850 data model (e.g., the tables describing logical nodes, common data classes, structured data attributes, and enumerations) in an XML format that can be imported and interpreted by tools. The following main use cases are supported:

• Generation of SCL data type templates for system specification or ICD files.

• Validation of SCL data type templates.

• Definition of private extensions by following the rules of the standard.

• Adapting rapidly the whole engineering chain as soon as a new version of IEC 61850 data model (an addendum, a corrigenda or a Tissue) affects the content of the standard.

• Provide tool-neutral textual help to users of tools on the data model contents.

• Supporting multi-language publication, i.e., enabling the expression of the data model in different languages, through a machine processable format.

The purpose of this proposal is limited to the publication of the XML format which should support the data model part of any IEC 61850 related standard. The publication of code components themselves will be part of the related IEC 61850 part.
