IEC 61850 defines a communication protocol which is used particularly in electrical switchgears. Such standardised communication can be implemented using the PLC library TwinCAT IEC 61850 Server. The communication stack developed by Beckhoff is based on the MMS protocol and as well as the basic IEC 61850 standard also supports the related specialisations. For easy configuration the TwinCAT Telecontrol Configurator can be used, which is delivered with the PLC library. Thanks to the created configuration a PLC code export can be carried out, which can be integrated into existing PLC projects.
