The caution hot surface icon indicates important information or

warning about the temperature of product surfaces.

The caution icon indicates important information or warning related

to the concept discussed in the text. It might indicate the presence

of a hazard which could result in corruption of software or damage

to equipment or property.

The information icon alerts the reader of important facts and

conditions.

IP14785-1 v1

SEMOD115767-5 v6

SPA communication protocol is an alternative to IEC 60870-5-103, and they use

the same rear communication port.

When communicating with a PC connected to the utility substation LAN via WAN

and the utility office LAN (see Figure

2), and when using the rear optical Ethernet

port, the only hardware required for a station monitoring system is:

• Optical fibres from the IED to the utility substation LAN

• PC connected to the utility office LAN

Figure 2: SPA communication structure for a remote monitoring system via a

substation LAN, WAN and utility LAN

SPA communication is mainly used for the Station Monitoring System. It can

include different IEDs with remote communication possibilities. Connection to a

PC can be made directly (if the PC is located in the substation), via a telephone

modem through a telephone network with ITU (former CCITT) characteristics or

via a LAN/WAN connection.

Communication protocol manual

Functionality

SEMOD115767-25 v2

The SPA protocol V2.5 is an ASCII-based protocol for serial communication. The

communication is based on a master-slave principle, where the IED is a slave and

the PC is the master. Only one master can be applied on each fibre optic loop. A

program is required in the master computer for interpretation of the SPA-bus codes

and for translation of the data that should be sent to the IED.

For the specification of the SPA protocol V2.5, refer to SPA-bus Communication

Protocol V2.5.

2.1.2 Setting guidelines

M11876-3 v6

SPA, IEC 60870-5-103 and DNP3 use the same rear communication port. This port

can be set for SPA use on the local HMI under Main menu /Configuration /

Communication /Station communication/Port configuration/SLM optical

serial port/PROTOCOL:1. When the communication protocol is selected, the

IED is automatically restarted, and the port then operates as a SPA port.

The SPA communication setting parameters are set on the local HMI under Main

menu/Configuration/Communication/Station communication/SPA/SPA:1.

The most important SPA communication setting parameters are SlaveAddress and

BaudRate. They are essential for all communication contact to the IED.

SlaveAddress and BaudRate can be set only on the local HMI for rear and front

channel communication.

SlaveAddress can be set to any value between 1–899 as long as the slave number is

unique within the used SPA loop. BaudRate (communication speed) can be set

between 300–38400 baud. BaudRate should be the same for the whole station

although different communication speeds in a loop are possible. If different

communication speeds are used in the same fibre optical loop or RS485 network,

take this into account when making the communication setup in the communication

master (the PC).

With local fibre optic communication, communication speed is usually set to 19200

or 38400 baud. With telephone communication, the speed setting depends on the

quality of the connection and the type of modem used. Refer to technical data to

determine the rated communication speed for the selected communication

interfaces.

The IED does not adapt its speed to the actual communication

conditions because the communication speed is set on the local

HMI.

Section 3 SPA operation principle

3.1 Operation principle

IP14401-1 v3

M11880-3 v2

The SPA bus uses an asynchronous serial communications protocol (1 start bit, 7

data bits + even parity, 1 stop bit) with data transfer rate up to 38400 bit/s. For

more information on recommended baud rate for each type of IED, refer to

Technical reference manual. Messages on the bus consist of ASCII characters.

3.1.1 Introduction of SPA protocol

M11880-7 v2

The basic construction of the protocol assumes that the slave has no self-initiated

need to talk to the master but the master is aware of the data contained in the slaves

and, consequently, can request required data. In addition, the master can send data

to the slave. Requesting by the master can be performed either by sequenced

polling (for example, for event information) or only on demand.

The master requests slave information using request messages and sends

information to the slave in write messages. Furthermore, the master can send all

slaves in common a broadcast message containing time or other data. The inactive

state of bus transmit and receive lines is a logical "1".

3.1.2 SPA protocol

M11880-10 v5

The tables below specify the SPA addresses for reading data from and writing data

to an IED with the SPA communication protocol implemented.

The SPA addresses for the pulse counter values PCFCNT:1 to PCFCNT:16 are

found in table

3.1.2.1 I/O modules

M11880-16 v4

To read binary inputs, the SPA-addresses for the outputs of the I/O-module

function block are used, that is, the addresses for BI1 – BI16. For SPA addresses,

refer to section Related documents in Product Guide.

M11880-35 v1

3.1.2.2 Single command, 16 signals

M11880-51 v5

The IEDs can be provided with a function to receive signals either from a

substation automation system or from the local HMI. That receiving function block

has 16 outputs that can be used, for example, to control high voltage apparatuses in

switchyards. For local control functions, the local HMI can also be used.

The single command, 16 signals function consists of four function blocks:

SINGLECMD:1 to SINGLECMD:4 for 16 binary output signals each.

The signals can be individually controlled from the operator station, remote-control

gateway, or from the local HMI on the IED. For Single command, 3 signals

function block, SINGLECMD:1 to SINGLECMD:3, the address is for the first

output. The other outputs follow consecutively after the first one. For example,

output 7 on the SINGLECMD:2 function block has the 5O533 address.

The SPA addresses for Single command, 16 signals functions SINGLECMD:1 to

SINGLECMD:4 are found in table
