Principle and benefits of process bus
Process Bus
Merging units
Measured values of
conventional and non-
conventional transformers are
converted into standardized,
Ethernet-based telegrams
(SMV).

IEC 61850
Merging Unit
The current transformer must drive the current Cost saving – Less copper cables, faster Lower space requirements of the protection
to the merge unit via a much shorter cable. This installation and commissioning system in the control building reduces the
reduces the current transformer burden and required building size and thus saves costs.
thus the cost of the primary current transformer Independency – Interoperable design
is lower. enables multi-vendor solutions based Extended functionality
on IEC 61850 standard
Operational safety - the risk of open current Flexibility and scalability - easier adaptation to
transformer circuits is eliminated or reduced. Improved safety – Insulation of electronics in the future requirements and integration of additional
control room applications and functions.
The SIPROTEC 6MU85 merging unit is the modular, interoperable and powerful solution between primary and secondary
technology – versatile process data acquisition, autonomous automation and secure communication

Protection application
The simulation bit support for GOOSE and SMV is implemented as described in IEC 61850.
1. As an example, the device can be set to
simulation mode using the IEC 61850 browser.
2. In this mode, the device works with the original,
non simulated signals (GOOSE/SMV) for as long
as it receives the same signals with the
simulation bit set generated from a test set.
3. Signals without a set simulation bit are still
processed from the original source.
The simulation signals and the real signals can be present in the network at the same time.
SIPROTEC 5 supports the monitoring of GOOSE and Sampled Values. In addition to the data objects defined in IEC 61850,
additional LSVS objects allow faster and more efficient troubleshooting.

Configuration
ICD/CID files must be compliant with IEC 61850 standard
IEC 61850 Edition 2.1 closes important gaps to ensure interoperability
Not all vendors support IEC 61850 Edition 2.1
3rd party ICD/CID files often lack important settings from Siemens's point of view
Provision and reading of the sampled value stream content
Merging Unit must publish standard compliant sampled value streams
Subscriber IED’s must be able to subscribe to and read standard-compliant sampled value streams
Field experience has shown this is usually achievable. In the worst-case ICD/CID files will need to be modified to provide the information
required for the subscription.
Interpretation of the sampled value stream content
Merging unit manufacturers may use different hardware and ADC conversion approaches, resulting in unequal signals under transient
conditions and/or phase angle errors. (addressed by the setting "ScndTmms" in Edition 2.1)
The saturation behavior of the analog signal must be known to the subscriber. (addressed by “Clip” setting in Edition 2.1)
Not all vendors support IEC 61850 Edition 2.1
Reason for Siemens strong recommendation for dynamic network simulation tests to ensure safe protection operation in multivendor
applications
Challenge
Not all merging unit vendors support IEC 61850 Edition 2.1
Benefits

Enter missing or edit Merging Unit
Thus, even Merging Units according to IEC 61850-9-2 LE can be used without compromising
settings
the Siemens philosophy of safe operation of mission-critical infrastructures. The SCD file itself
is not changed and therefore remains valid. Enter missing or edit current (TCTR)
and voltage (TVTR) measuring point
settings
SCD file remains valid and stays
unchanged
Why to differentiate
Date and Time synchronization
Important for logging and accuracy requirements are usually
Substation Automation
Date/Time synchronization significantly lower. Disturbance of GNSS signal won’t have an
impact on protection operation.
Sample Synchronization
Sampled Measured Values does not require GNSS-based
Station Bus
synchronization. Import is a precise synchronization to each other.
Benefits of separation
A free-running IEEE 1588v2 PTP Grand Master Clock (GMC)
in the Process Bus System (Protection) is immune against:
• Loss of GNSS signals and therefore for resulting jumps
Process Bus in the time base of the synchronization signal
• Spoofing and Jamming
Protection
Sample Synchronization
Physical separation between Station and Process Bus provides
an additional barrier for cyber attacks Improved Cyber Security
Ordinary Clocks (OC) Slave-Only (OCSO) No port can be in the MASTER state.

The consequences are:

• Resynchronization of the sampled values to the new time base

Term Definition
SMV Stream SMV stream is a set of current and voltage values that is broadcasted fast and cyclically. The information exchange is based on a
publisher/subscriber mechanism. The broadcast of SMV is a continuous one-way stream of layer 2 Ethernet telegrams. According to IEC
61869-9, the content of a SMV stream can be freely configured. The IEC 61850-9-2 LE defines a fixed set of 4 voltage and 4 current values
per SMV stream.
Merging Unit (MU) The publisher/server of Sampled Measured Values is called Merging Unit.
PB Client The subscriber of Sampled Measured Values can also be called Process Bus Client (PB Client).
Sampling Rate In signal processing, sampling is the reduction of a continuous-time signal (e.g., current and voltages) to a discrete-time signal. A common
example is the conversion of a sound wave (a continuous signal) to a sequence of samples (a discrete-time signal).
A sample is a value or set of values at a precise point in time. The usual unit for sample rate is Hz, meaning "samples per second." For
example, 4.8 kHz (4800 samples per second) is used for most protection functions. IEC 61850-9-2 LE also defines "samples per cycle" as
a valid definition of sampling rates. The specified 80 and 256 samples per cycle can be converted to "samples per second". For example,
80 smp/cycle in a 50 Hz system has a sampling rate of 4000 Hz (80 x 50 Hz).
ASDU Application Service Data Unit (ASDU)
One ASDU contains a set of sampled measured values and corresponding quality information from the same sampling time point. Mapping
offers the possibility to link multiple ASDU‘s from subsequent sampling times into one SMV frame. The number of ASDUs contained in an
SMV frame is defined in IEC 61869-9 and depends on the sampling rate.

Term Definition
IEEE1588v2/PTP The Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a protocol used to synchronize clocks throughout a computer network. On a local area network, it
achieves clock accuracy in the sub-microsecond range, making it suitable for measurement and control systems. PTP was originally
defined in the IEEE 1588-2002 standard, officially entitled "Standard for a Precision Clock Synchronization Protocol for Networked
Measurement and Control Systems" and published in 2002. In 2008, IEEE 1588-2008 was released as a revised standard; also known as
PTP Version 2, it improves accuracy, precision and robustness but is not backward compatible with the original 2002 version.
IEEE1588v2/PTP PTP has many optional features, and often more than one way to do things. This means PTP devices do not necessarily work together. Not
Profiles unless they are configured with a compatible set of choices for 1588 options and settings. The solutions is … profiles. Profiles are a set of
rules which place restrictions on PTP, intended to meet the needs of a specific application or set of similar applications. The IEEE 1588
standard itself only defines one profile, referred to as the “default profile”. In power industry there are two profiles used: IEC 61850-9-3
(Power Utility Profile) and C37.238-2017 (Power Profile).
OCSO Ordinary Clock Slave Only (OCSO)
When using a master or grandmaster clock, other devices which sync to the master’s time are called ordinary slave clocks. A slave clock is
a device that syncs with the master or grandmaster clock but does not act as a source of timing.
OCGC / GMC Ordinary Clock Grand Master Capable (OCGC) / Grand Master Clock (GMC)
An IEEE 1588 clock, which is able to act either as and grand master clock or slave clock.
P2P TC Per to per Transparent Clock (P2P TC)
A transparent clock (often a PTP enabled switch) allows you to timestamp the packet before it reaches a slave device, making it easier to
calculate network delay. They operate in place of a normal switch, which can otherwise introduce inaccuracy when the network gets
congested. Transparent clocks also manage the ordering of packets coming from multiple sources. If the output port is busy, it will stamp
each packet with an arrival and departure time to account for time spent waiting in the clock.
