IEC 61850
Standards
The key standard for electrical substation automation
With its extensive support for the IEC 61850 standard, STRATON AUTOMATION enables OEMs to develop interoperable, reliable equipment that meets the requirements of smart grids.
Overview of the standard
IEC 61850 is an international standard defining a unified communication framework for the automation of electrical substations (high, medium and low voltage). It enables equipment from different manufacturers to communicate effectively thanks to a standardised data architecture and high-performance protocols.
Objectives of the standard
- Standardise communication between IEDs (Intelligent Electronic Devices)
- Structure data with clear modelling (Logical Nodes, Data Objects, etc.)
- Reduce engineering costs and time
- Facilitate the supervision and maintenance of electrical installations
- Support the transition to Smart Grids
IEC 61850 is now an essential standard, widely adopted by energy players, embedded system manufacturers, SCADA solution integrators and regulatory bodies.

Certifying a product range is a major challenge for a company and a step towards the future. Thanks to straton tools and the support of STRATON AUTOMATION, we were able to pass the certification for this evolution of the standard with greater peace of mind. After Edition 1 in 2014, SEPCOS is now certified by DNV GL for Edition 2, enabling us to provide a complete, secure and tailored solution to our customers
