What is Protocol ?
When Intelligent Devices communicate with each other, there needs to be a common set of rules and instructions that each device follows. A specific set of communication rules is called a protocol.

* The diversity of Equipments and Manufacturers lead to a increase of Proprietary Protocols

 Computer

to Computer data communication standards have been developed over past few decades.
Well known model for this purpose is the 7 Layer OSI ( Open System Interconnection) reference model.

This model provides encapsulation of the relevant data with in a packet. This model provide isolation of application program from system and media. But adds significant overhead in processing power and bandwidth utilisation.

Functionality of different layers

Application Layer: This provides the interface and services that support user application. Ex. E-mail, WWW, SMTP. Presentation Layer: This layer responsible for data encryption, data compression .Ex JPG, MPEG etc Sessions Layer: Responsible for setting up the communication link and manages the sessions. It could provide connection oriented and connectionless services.

Functionality of different layers

Transportation Layer: Responsible for flow control, Packet size, error free delivery with proper sequence.

Network layer: Route determination takes place in this layer. Translation of IP address to physical address ( NIC) also takes place here.
Data link layer : Responsible for data movement across the actual physical link.

Physical Layer: It defines the physical aspect of how the cabling is hooked.

 Due to addition of many layer overhead and bandwidth goes

higher.
It is not suitable for SCADA application. Most of the Protocols follows various flavours of this model.

Need For Standards

* Protocol is a set of rules that governs how message containing data and control information are assembled at a source for their transmission across the network and then dissembled when they reach their destination. * The communication protocol allows two devices to communicate with each other. Each device involved in the communication must essentially support not only the same protocol but also the same version of the protocol. Any differences involved in the implementation of protocol at the either of ends will result in the communication errors.

Proprietary Vs Open Protocols

* Protocol, used by the vendor, the utility is restricted to one supplier for support and purchase of future devices. This presents a serious problem. Examples of Proprietary Protocols are SPA, K-Bus, VDEW etc.
* With the arrival of open systems concept , it is desired that devices from one vendor be able to communicate with those of other vendors i.e. devices should inter-operate . To achieve interoperability one has to use industry standard open protocols. Ex: IEC60870 -5-103,101,104, IEC61850,DNP,Modbus etc

Advantages of Open Protocols

* Migration to standard communication protocol is a very important decision that leads to cost reduction and maximized flexibility within the utility sector. Broadly benefits for the utilities are: Availability of open system connectivity > Vendor independence > Reliable products at optimized costs > Easily available knowledge and specification Benefits drawn for vendors by standardization are: > Lower costs of installation and maintenance > A large market and thus opportunity to compete on price performance instead of technical details only. > Cost effective project implementation

Interoperability Vs Interchangeability

* Interoperability is the ability of two or more IEDs from same vendor or different vendors to exchange information and uses that information for correct co-operation.

* Interchangeability is the ability to replace the device the supplied by one manufacturer with a device without making change to the other elements in the system.

1) Modbus / Profibus
2) DNP ( Distributed Network Protocol )

3) IEC 60870 series

4) UCA ( Utlity Communication Architecture ) IEC 61850 series

MODBUS
Developed in the process-control industries by MODICON , USA during 1976

- Application layer Protocol ( 7 th Layer of OSI )

- Extensively used in industrial environment

- Used in process bus of substation bay ( Relays )

- It operates on master slave type mode

- Slave node will not typically transmit data with out a request from the master.

 It was originally designed as a simple way to transfer data between controls and sensors via RS-232 interfaces. Modbus now supports other communication media, including TCP/IP. Modbus is now an open standard, administered by the Modbus-IDA (www.modbus-ida.com).

Modbus and DNP3 Communication Protocols

Modbus and DNP are both byte-oriented protocols. Modbus is an application layer protocol, while DNP contains Application and Data Link Layers, with a pseudo-transport layer. Both protocols are widely used over a variety of physical layers, including RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, and TCP/IP. Modbus has a separate specification for use over TCP/IP (Modbus-TCP). With DNP, the protocol is simply encapsulated within TCP/IP.

Distributed Network Protocol 3.0

Distributed Network Protocol ( DNP) was developed by Harris, USA.

The Distributed Networking Protocol (DNP) was originally developed by Westronic, Inc. (now GE Harris) in 1990. The DNP 3.0 Basic 4 protocol specification document set was released into the public domain in 1993, and ownership of the protocol was given to the newly formed DNP Users Group in October 1993. DNP was specifically developed for use in Electrical Utility SCADA Applications. It is now the dominant protocol in electrical utility SCADA systems, and is gaining popularity in other industries, including Oil & Gas, Water, and Waste Water.

-In 1993 the responsibility for defining further DNP specification was given to DNP user Group. - DNP is based on the earlier work of IEC TC 57 - It is based on Enhanced Performance architecture ( EPA) model - There are 4 core documents to define DNP 3

Emergence of Standard
DNP 3.0
Based on earlier work of IEC TC57 Developed by GE Harris
DNP 3.0 is an open protocol that was developed to establish interoperability between RTUs, IEDs (Intelligent Electronic Devices) and master stations. DNP was largely influenced by North and South America, together with the African and Asian regions as IEC 101 was from the European community.

DNP 3.0 Structure

Three Layered Protocol (EPA)
Application (Layer 7) Data Link Physical (Layer 2) (Layer 1)

This structure is similar to IEC. However, DNP3 enhances EPA by adding a fourth layer, a pseudo transport layer that allows for message segmentation.

Additional Pseudo Layer

In addition
Pseudo Transport Layer (Layer 4)

DNP introduces a pseudo-transport layer(OSI Layer 4) to build application data messages larger than a single data link frame. In case of IEC, each 101 message should be contained in a single data link frame.

Support Advance RTU functions

 DNP3 is an open, intelligent, robust, and efficient modern SCADA protocol. It can request and respond with multiple data types in single messages, segment messages into multiple frames to ensure excellent error detection and recovery, include only changed data in response messages, assign priorities to data items and request data items periodically based on their priority, respond without request (unsolicited), support time synchronization and a standard time format, allow multiple masters and peer-to-peer operations, and allow user definable objects including file transfer. In 1994, the IEEE Power Engineering Societys Data Acquisition, Monitoring and Control Subcommittee formed a Task Force to review the communication protocols being used between Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) and Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) in substations.

 The IEEE Task Force found a very confusing, constantly changing environment that was increasing the cost and time to completion of substation SCADA systems. The IEEE Task Force collected information on approximately 140 protocols and compared them to a list of communication protocol requirements. This comparison resulted in a short list of protocols that met most of the requirements. This short list was balloted and two serial SCADA protocols tied for being the most acceptable: IEC 60870-5-101 and DNP3.

It deals the functionality for the interoperability of telecontrol equipment of different manufactures for the communication between substations and between substation and control centres .

IEC 61850

This standard unifies UCA with European standard. It aims to design a communication system that provides interoperability between the functions to be performed in a substation.

IEC 61107 :
This specifies hardware and protocol specifications for local systems in which a hand held unit is connected to only one tariff device at a time. This specifies hardware and protocol specifications for local systems in which a hand held unit is connected to only one tariff device at a time.

1) IEC 61107 is essentially a protocol providing a means to access (read and write) memory locations, without telling anything about how those memory locations should be filled with information. 2) IEC 61107 does neither say anything about the format and the interpretation of the data.

3) IEC 61107, developed for the purposes of local data exchange, does not follow the OSI model of layered protocols and does not have the functions provided by these layers. Therefore, although it is widely used over telephone networks, it is only possible with some compromises.
4) IEC 61107 lacks advanced security functions.

5) Consequently, for each new meter type, even from the same manufacturer, a new device driver is required. Such drivers carry information about where and how to find the information and how to interpret it. The development of device drivers has proven to be a lengthy and costly exercise.

Electric utilities were among the first entities to embrace data telemetery.

Data telemetry was introduced for monitoring , Control and Protection. Development in communication, Computer, introduction of Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED) made information collection easier.

Different manufacturers introduced different rules for communicating and exchanging information among their intelligent devices. This introduced barriers in communicating with other device manufactured by others.

IEC 62056 - Series Data Exchange for Meter Reading- Tariff and Load control

1) 62056 covers all metering functions required on the liberalised market. The functions are modelled using metering domain specific interface objects. This allows developing meters meeting exactly customer needs, using standard building blocks. It also allows innovation and competition by enhancing functionality in a standard way as required while maintaining interoperability. 2) It ensures unique identification of all metering equipment world-wide and unambiguous identification of all data elements.

3) It ensures unambiguous interpretation of all

metering data.
4) It allows controlled and selective access by various parties to application relevant data. 5) It provides various levels of security mechanisms to control access to data depending on

authentication and access rights.

6) opens the way for exchanging data over various communication media, as the meter data model is independent of the communication protocol stack.

7) It brings interoperability, and therefore lowers costs, as it is based on a standard data model and internationally approved standard protocols. 8) It allows developing a genuine driver, as the meter describes the functions available and sends all information necessary to interpret data. This allows meter manufacturers and data collection system providers to concentrate on the applications relevant for their customers rather than on connectivity and interfaces;
9) It comes complete with a conformance testing scheme to guarantee interoperability.

Introduction UCA

Brief Description about UCA 2.0

Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) launched a concept in 1990 known as the Utility Communication Architecture or UCA. The goal behind UCA was to identify a suite of existing communication protocols that could be easily mixed and matched, provide the foundation for the functionality required to solve the utility enterprise communication issues, and be extensible for the future. After some initial revisions, the results of the project have been known as UCA 2.0. UCA 2.0 is described in a technical report TR 1550 of the IEEE [2].

UCA2- SUBSTATION COMMUNICATION MODEL

Concept of 61850

Brief description about IEC 61850

The basis and the way of standardizing communications in IEC 61850 are entirely new. IEC 61850 was developed from IEC 60870-5-x and UCA 2.0.
Comprehensive EPRI project UCA 2.0 IEC 61850

International Agreed Goals

IEC 60870-5-101, -103, -104

The goal of this standard IEC 61850 Communication networks and systems in substations is to provide interoperability between the IEDs from different suppliers or, more precisely, between functions to be performed in a substation but residing in equipment (physical devices) from different suppliers. Interchangeability is outside the scope of this standard, but the objective of interchangeability will be supported following this standard. Interoperability has the following levels for devices from different suppliers: (1) The devices shall be connectable to a common bus with a common protocol (syntax) (2) The devices shall understand the information provided by other devices (semantics) (3) The devices shall perform together a common or joint function if applicable (distributed functions) Since there are no constraints regarding system structure and data exchange, some static and dynamic requirements shall be fulfilled to provide interoperability.

IEC 61850 Key benefits

IEC 61850 is a definite step towards unified substation communication, compared to the former IEC 60870-5-103, DNP3 and most proprietary protocols: to be speed of exchanges: 100 Mbps instead of few 10kbps, enabling more data exchanged or a better operation or maintenance of the system,

peer-to-peer links, replacing conventional wires with no extra hardware but and also permitting the design of innovative automation schemes, client-server relations offering flexible solutions easy to upgrade compared to master slave communications, object oriented pre-defined names, creating a single vocabulary between users, suppliers and suppliers devices therefore facilitating the system integration and commissioning, XML interfaces referencing the above objects for straightforward exchanges between engineering tools in order to optimise the data consistency and minimise project lead times. communication conformance tests that help reducing the variety of interpretation found in many legacy protocols and leading to long integration tests and tuning.
