Introduction 1
Chapter 1: Introduction
This chapter introduces the PACSystems RX3i IEC 61850 Ethernet Communication Module,
or ECM850 for short. The final pages of this chapter are a glossary that define many of the
terms and acronyms used in the manual.
Chapter 2, Installation explains how to install an ECM850, how to complete port
connections, and how to update the module firmware. It also explains how to install the
ECM850’s Universal Serial Bus (USB) port driver and describes how the module synchronizes
its internal clock with the RX3i CPU.
Chapter 3, Configuration explains how to complete and download the configuration for
ECM850s, (IEC 61850 Clients), add Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs). and select protocol
variables for monitoring and control. This chapter describes how to use PLC Protocol
Variables (PPVs) in RX3i controller applications. It also describes different configuration
mechanisms: online and offline configuration, configuring specific protocol features like
report control block, polling etc.
Chapter 4, IEC 61850 Client System Operation describes I/O scan operation and application
program blocks for use with the ECM850. This chapter also provides an overview of IEC
61850 communications between the ECM850 and IEDs (IEC 61850 servers). This chapter
defines system constraints with regard to PPV usage, memory usage, and other criteria for
using the ECM850 in control applications.
Chapter 5, Diagnostics explains the power-up and reset process, LED blink patterns, status
reporting, and fatal error reporting. It also describes faults and corrective actions.
The Appendices provide reference information about the ECM850 not required for typical
applications.
Appendix A, ECM850 Command Line Interface Support describes an interface to the
ECM850 used primarily for diagnostics and troubleshooting.
Appendix B, IEC 61850 I/O Performance Examples presents several IEC 61850 network I/O
configurations with the measured I/O performance for each as an aid to computing
estimated I/O performance in other scenarios.
Appendix C, Protocol Implementation Conformance Statements (PICS),
Appendix D, Model Implementation Conformance Statement (MICS), and
Appendix E, Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) collectively
provide details of the ECM850’s abstract communication service interface (ACSI) and other
information required to demonstrate conformance to the IEC 61850 standard.
For additional information, please refer to the manuals listed below. Manuals can be

1.1 Description
The PACSystems RX3i IEC 61850 Ethernet Communication Module, catalog number
IC695ECM850, or ECM850, connects a PACSystems RX3i controller to an IEC 61850
network, enabling the controller to act as an IEC 61850 Client and communicate with
Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs, IEC 61850 servers
1
) on the network using the IEC 61850
protocol. (IEC 61850 is a standard for the design of electrical substation automation.) The
ECM850 provides the functions and services required for an IEC 61850 Client, as described
in the PICS and MICS in the appendices.
The ECM850 supports 10/100/1000 Mbps copper, 100/1000 Mbps multi-mode fiber, and
100/1000 Mbps single-mode fiber Ethernet connections. The network can include media
interfaces of more than one type.

Virtually all IEC 61850 Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) function as servers, so within the context of this manual, the term IED may be
understood to be an IEC 61850 server device.

Introduction 3
Features of the ECM850 include:
•Supports the following IEC 61850 client features
—Multiple connections to IEDs
—Read and write of data values
—Control model –all models
—Report by exception –reporting buffered and un-buffered
—Browse data model –logical devices, nodes, data objects & attributes
—Self-description support –reads data model from IED over IEC 61850 network
Note: Refer to the appendices for details.
•Full programming and configuration services for the IEC 61850 Client, including
reading of device Substation Configuration Language (SCL) files and reading
configuration data online directly from IEDs using the Machine Edition
programming and configuration application.
•Supports operation in hot standby redundant systems.
•Firmware upgrades using the WinLoader software utility.
•Built-in command-line interface function that supports direct monitoring and partial
configuration by means of the module’s Micro USB port or Telnet over Ethernet.
Note: The USB port is intended for system setup and diagnostics only. It must not remain
permanently connected.
•Support for both star (switched) and linear (daisy-chained) network topologies.
•Four switched Ethernet ports —two eight-conductor RJ-45 shielded twisted pair
10/100/1000 Mbps copper interfaces and two Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP)
cages for user-supplied SFP devices.
•Internal clock synchronized with the RX3i CPU for time-stamped diagnostics
•Multicast Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) client support for synchronizing the
module’s internal clock with an external clock using SNTP over Ethernet.
•Restart pushbutton to manually restart the module without power cycling the
system.
•Indicator LEDs: OK, LAN, STATUS, CONN, ACTIVE, USB, and four port active LEDs (1-
4).
