 Data Communication Protocol

- Key Element for Substation Automation

- Protocol required to interpret the data at both ends of

communication system in same way

- Conventional Protocol – Tag + Data

(Tag mapping table required for system integration)

- IEC61850 Protocol – Context + Data

(Context is defined in the IEC61850 Standard.)
