AX-S4 61850 ("Access for 61850") is a complete IEC 61850 interface for host applications supporting OPC on the Microsoft Windows platform. AX-S4 61850 supports both IEC 61850 client and server capabilities to provide the tools needed to interface Windows applications supporting OPC and/or DDE interfaces. AX-S4 61850 brings real-time data from IEC 61850 compatible intelligent electronics devices (IEDs) such as RTUs, protection relays, meters, and load tap changers to the desktop.

Useful for substation automation computers needing access to data in IEC61850 IEDs, testing/configuration of IEC 61850 devices, and for interfacing with non-IEC 61850 devices.

AX-S4 61850 Features

• OPC V3.0 Data Access (DA) Server interface supports IEC61850 access for many off-the-shelf OPC compatible applications.

• Supports IEC 61850 parts 6-1, 7-2, 7-3, 7-4, and 8-1 including the Abstract Communication Service Interface (ACSI), Generic Object Oriented Substation Event (GOOSE), and Generic Substation Status Event (GSSE) services.
  

• Supports unsolicited report-by-exception messaging using IEC61850 buffered and unbuffered reports with automatic configuration and enabling of report control blocks to simplify interfacing with existing OPC based products.

• Configuration of device network and data models is supported via Substation Configuration Language (SCL) file import or by retrieving device object descriptions from devices over the network for quick and easy setup.

• OPC Server for GOOSE/GSSE multicast services is included to send and receive real-time protection data used by relays and other substation protection and metering devices. Configuration of both send and receive functions for GOOSE is supported using SCL file import.
  

• Includes an IEC 61850 server that interfaces to user supplied OPC servers that converts non-IEC 61850 devices and protocols to IEC 61850 for low-cost data translation and protocol conversion. IEC 61850 server functions supports most ACSI services including reporting and controls (normal security).
  

• Configuration of device network and data models is supported via Substation Configuration Language (SCL) file import or by retrieving device object descriptions from devices over the network for quick and easy setup.

• Interactive Object Explorer provides point & click access to network objects and system configuration for user interaction and check-out.
  

• DDE Server supports variable, journal/log, controls, domain, file, and program invocation services including cut-and-paste of hot-links to Excel and other DDE enabled applications

• Supports Windows XP SP3, Server 2003, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2 as a 32-bit application.
