2. Introduction
2.1. About this section
This section gives an overview of the Communication Gateway COM 610 (later on
COM 610 Gateway), its components and functions, as well as the IEC 61850 data
modelling principles.
2.2. Overview of COM 610 Gateway
The COM 610 Gateway product is intended to be used as an embedded
communication gateway between substation automation protection and control
devices and Network Control Centers (NCC). COM 610 Gateway uses Embedded
XP operating system and runs in a dedicated industrial computer without moving
parts. An overview of a typical system with the COM 610 Gateway is shown in Fig.
2.2.-1.
The COM 610 Gateway provides a framework that enables the use of OPC server
and client components, such as OPC Client for IEC 60870-5-101 and OPC Server
for LON LAG 1.4. This manual presents the principles that are common to the
protocols available at the moment as well as to those that will be applicable in the
future. For protocol specific information, refer to the respective client and server
user’s guides.
The engineering is done with a separate engineering PC, that is connected via the
local area network (LAN).

2.5. COM 610 Gateway
COM 610 Gateway consists of OPC Data Access (DA) server and client
components. OPC Servers are used mainly for master/client protocol stacks to
provide access to the data in the devices connected with the protocol. OPC Clients
are used for slave/server protocol stacks to enable external systems to access data
available in the OPC Servers.

2.5.1. OPC server
This chapter describes a structure of a typical OPC server component developed for
the Gateway. OPC server component consists of Master/Client Protocol Stack, OPC
DA/AE Server and Configuration SCL. Protocol stack component implements the
protocol functions, such as handshaking signal handling, message coding/decoding,
check sum calculations, polling logic, protocol level timers etc. OPC server/protocol
handler implements the functionality for publishing and updating data on the OPC
interfaces and protocol conversion between the OPC and the protocol stack using the
common IEC 61850 data model. The configuration of the OPC server and the
protocol stack is handled using a configuration parser. Configuration of the OPC
server is done using engineering tool. The configuration information is exported to
the SCL/XML configuration file according the IEC 61850 SCL specification. When
the OPC server is started the configuration information is read from the file.

2.5.2. OPC client
This chapter describes a structure of a typical OPC client component developed for
the OPC Gateway. OPC client software consists of Slave/Server Protocol Stack,
OPC DA Client, Configuration SCL, OPC Data Access Server and Alarm&Event
server components for diagnostic and control. Protocol stack component
implements the protocol functions, such as handshaking signal handling, message
coding/decoding, check sum calculations, polling logic, protocol level timers etc.
OPC client/protocol handler implements the functionality for data subscription
from the OPC servers and protocol conversion between the OPC and the protocol
stack using the common IEC 61850 data model. The configuration of the OPC client
and the protocol stack is handled using a configuration SCL. Configuration of the

2.5.3. IEC 61850 data modelling
To simplify protocol conversion and signal mapping in the gateway, each
component uses a common data model. The data model is based on common data
classes and services specified in the IEC 61850 standard. Each client and server
component is a separate program. The components interact with each other only via
OPC interfaces. This means that they can be developed and used independently as a
part of the gateway as long as they conform with the OPC DA and common data
model specifications.

IECmodeling
Fig. 2.5.-2 Overview of IEC 61850 model usage
Protection and control products are connected to the gateway via OPC interfaces.
Although OPC provides means to access data on devices, it does not specify the
semantics of the data. This means that the same information is available in different
formats depending on which device and communication protocol is used. In
addition, services, such as breaker operation, vary among devices and protocols.
These differences complicate the reuse of gateway applications. To overcome this
problem, all the applicable data and services are remodeled in OPC servers
according to the data and service model specified in the IEC 61850 standard. This
provides a protocol and device independent interface between the applications and
the process. Fig. 2.5.-2 presents an overview of the IEC 61850 model usage.
The smallest unit in the IEC 61850 modelling is a data attribute which is linked to
an OPC item in the OPC server. A data attribute can be, for instance, the state value
of a double point object (stVal), quality information (q), or timestamp (t). In the OPC
server some of the services are also mapped to the same level as the attributes. This
means that, for example, control services (such as ctlOperOn, ctlOperOff) for
operating a double point object are available as OPC items.

User’s Guide
For different types of data, the IEC 61850 standard defines over 30 common data
classes including a set of mandatory and optional attributes and services. For
example, common data classes are defined for Controllable double point (DPC),
Single point status (SPS) and Measured value (MV).
Furthermore, the standard defines about 90 functional groups of data, based on
common data classes. These groups are called logical nodes. Examples of logical
nodes are controllable switch (CSWI) and distance protection (PDIS).
Logical nodes can be further grouped below logical devices (LD), forming logical
groups within a physical device (IED), refer to Fig. 2.5.-3.

Fig. 2.5.-3 LON OPC Server name space in relation to IEC 61850 model
2.6. Station/Remote switch function
The COM 610 Gateway provides a common Station/Remote (S/R) switch
functionality for OPC servers and clients. The S/R switch is used to determine
whether the objects in a logical device of an IED can be controlled within the station
or remotely via a gateway.
A station can have one or more S/R switches. The switches are either physical
switches or software switches in a simulated IED of an OPC server. The S/R
switches are modeled using the IEC 61850 SPS, SPC, DPS, DPC, INS or INC data
class.
Each IED or logical device in an IED is linked with an S/R switch during the
engineering phase. If a logical device has no linking information configured, the
linking information of the IED is used instead. At run-time, an OPC server publishes
the logical device S/R switch linking information for the OPC clients of the COM
610 Gateway. Each time an OPC client sends a command to a device, it first checks
the S/R switch position to determine whether the operation is allowed or not: the
COM 610 Gateway OPC client is allowed to operate only if the S/R switch is in
remote position.
18
1MRS755385
Communication Gateway
User’s Guide
COM 610 *2.1
A COM 610 Gateway OPC client has the operation modes disabled and enabled for
S/R switch handling. When the switch is in the enabled mode, the values for S/R
switch position failures are Allow controls if position unknown and Reject controls
if position unknown.
2.7. Queuing of Process Data Updates
This section describes the common queue mechanism for OPC Clients (slave
protocols) in COM 610. There might be additional queuing mechanisms on different
level of the protocol stacks, that are specific for the protocol, which are not described
here.
Process data updates are mainly queued in the OPC Clients of the COM 610. Each
OPC Client has own queues independent from other clients, which prevents that
disturbances on one client connection interfering with other connections. There are
four separate queues for different type of data with configurable length.
- High Priority
command replies/confirms
internal protocol stack control commands
protocol stack database initialization commands
- State Indications
binary data and other state indications
- Measurements
analog data
- Interrogated
interrogation related data and commands
Queue logic
For high priority and interrogated queues the oldest message is skipped when the
queues fill up. Generally these queues should never fill up since they contain a
limited number of updates (proportional to the number of OPC items).
When state indication queue is full, the new updates are always skipped until there
is free space in the queue.
When measurement queue is full, an older update is always skipped when a new
update is pushed on the queue.
- If an item has two or more updates, the oldest update is skipped.
- If no item has two or more updates, the oldest update in the queue is skipped.
For measurements, older updates for an item are also skipped when the queue
reaches a configurable percent of the maximum capacity (but only if there is an item
with multiple outstanding updates to send).
Queue priorities
If a high priority queue contains an update, it is always sent first. After that, the
interrogated queue is checked. If none of these queues has updates, the state
indications and measurements are checked in round-robin fashion.

Queue capacities
The capacity (maximum size) of each queue is independently configured. If one
queue fills up, capacity from another, possibly non-full queue is not used.
