Modeling A key issue are the LNs representing functions or equipment used in power systems. Each
oncept LN provides a list of well organized and named information. The LN “XCBR5” represents
the “circuit breaker” number 5 with the data “Pos” (Position) and “Mode”. Services defined
in IEC 61850-7-2 allow the exchange of this information.

General
● the specification of a basic model for the definition of the substation-specific information models contained
in IEC 61850-7-3 (common DATA classes) and IEC 61850-7-4 (compatible LOGICAL-NODE classes and
compatible DATA classes) and
● the specification of information exchange service models.
The information models and information exchange services are interwoven. From a descriptive point of view, the
two aspects are separated to some degree (see the excerpt shown in Figure 1). The common models (for
example, LOGICAL-NODE and DATA classes including their services) are applied in IEC 61850-7-3 and IEC
61850-7-4 to define many specialized information models - the substation automation models.
Other service models required for substation automation systems (for example, DATA-SET and reporting provide
specific information exchange services) are also defined in this part of the standard; these models are linked to
LOGICAL-NODEs and DATA. The information exchange services are completely defined in the ACSI. The
information models defined in IEC 61850-7-4 reference the services defined in the various models of the ACSI.
● SERVER - represents the external visible behaviour of a device. All other ACSI models are part of the
server.
NOTE 1 A server has two roles: to communicate with a client (most service models in IEC 61850 provide
communication with client devices) and to send information to peer devices (for example, for sampled
values).
● LOGICAL-DEVICE (LD) - contains the information produced and consumed by a group of domain-specific
application functions; functions are defined as LOGICAL-NODEs.
● LOGICAL-NODE (LN) - contains the information produced and consumed by a domain-specific application
function, for example, overvoltage protection or circuit-breaker.
● DATA - provide means to specify typed information, for example, position of a switch with quality
information and timestamp, contained in LOGICAL-NODEs.
AENOR AUTORIZA EL USO DE ESTE DOCUMENTO A TECNICAS REUNIDAS, S.A.
Each of these information models is defined as a class. The classes comprise attributes and services. The
conceptual class diagram of the ACSI is depicted in Figure 2.
NOTE 2 The classes are major building blocks that provide the framework for substation automation device
models. Additional details on the modelling and relations between IEC 61850-7-4, IEC 61850-7-3, and this part of
IEC 61850 can be found in IEC 61850-7-1.
NOTE 3 The numbers in the circles indicate the respective clauses in this part of IEC 61850.
The Name class is inherited by the classes LOGICAL-DEVICE, LOGICAL-NODE, DATA, and DataAttribute.
EXAMPLE In an implementation the logical device, logical node, data, and data attribute have each an object
name (instance name) which is a unique name among classes of the same container to which they belong. In
addition, each of the four has an ObjectReference (path name) which is a concatenation of all object names from
each container. The four object names (one per column) can be concatenated.
In addition to the models listed above, the ACSI comprises the following models that provide services operating
on data, data attributes, and data sets.
● DATA-SET - permits the grouping of data and data attributes. Used for direct access and for reporting and
logging.
● Substitution - supports replacement of a process value by another value.
● SETTING-GROUP-CONTROL-BLOCK - defines how to switch from one set of setting values to another
one and how to edit setting groups.
● REPORT-CONTROL-BLOCK and LOG-CONTROL-BLOCK - describe the conditions for generating
reports and logs based on parameters set by the client. Reports may be triggered by changes of process
data values (for example, state change or dead band) or by quality changes. Logs can be queried for later
retrieval. Reports may be sent immediately or deferred. Reports provide change-of-state and sequence-of-
events information exchange.
● control blocks for generic substation event (GSE) - supports a fast and reliable system-wide distribution of
input and output data values; peer-to-peer exchange of IED binary status information, for example, a trip
signal.
● control blocks for transmission of sampled values - fast and cyclic transfer of samples, for example, of
instrument transformers.
● control - describes the services to control, for example, devices.
● time and time synchronization - provides the time base for the device and system.
● file transfer - defines the exchange of large data blocks such as programs.
NOTE 1 The numbers in the circles indicate the respective clauses in this part of IEC 61850.
NOTE 2 The class diagrams are conceptual. Details are defined in the respective clauses. Comprehensive
diagrams are contained in IEC 61850-7-1. The DATA class may be defined recursively. The operations for
substitution and control are restricted to the lowest level in the DATA class. The DataAttributes may be defined
recursively as well.
The logical node is one of the major building blocks that has associations to most of the other information
exchange models, for example, report control, log control, and setting control.
Any other information exchange service model, for example, report control, log control, and setting control shall
inherit the ObjectName and ObjectReference as depicted in Figure 2.
The complete list of ACSI classes and their services is shown in Table 1.
5 ObjectName
The ObjectName shall specify a unique instance name among instances of a class owned by the same parent
class with a type as specified in Table 3 - ObjectName type
ObjectName type
5 ObjectReference
Instances of classes in the hierarchical information model (ACSI class hierarchy of logical device, logical node,
data, data attributes) shall be constructed by the concatenation of all instance names comprising the whole
path-name of an instance of a class that identifies the instance uniquely. The type of the ObjectReference shall
be as specified in Table 4.
ObjectReference type
LDName/LNName[.Name[. ...]]
The "/" shall separate the instance name of a logical device (LDName) from the name of an instance of a
logical node (LNName). The "." shall separate the further names in the hierarchy. The "[ ]" shall indicate an
option. The inner square bracket "[. ...]" shall indicate further names of recursively nested definitions.
NOTE 1 In any case where the context of the text provides sufficient information that an instance of a class is
meant, the term "instance of" is not used.
6 Server
The class SERVER shall represent the externally visible behaviour of a device. The SERVER shall be a
composition as defined in Table 11.
NOTE 1 For simple devices the server may comprise just one logical device with the GOOSE control model
with no other service.

NOTE 2 The server's relationship to the underlying communication system and the concrete implementation
depend on the SCSM (specific communication service mapping, see IEC 61850-8-x and IEC 61850-9-x) used.
Network management (as part of an SCSM), device management, and system management are outside the

NOTE 1 IEC 61850-7-4 defines specialized logical node classes - the compatible logical node classes, for
example, XCBR representing circuit-breakers.
The definition of LOGICAL-NODEs for the substation-application domain is refined by the definition of specific
DATAin IEC 61850-7-4. The definitions in IEC 61850-7-4 (and IEC 61850-7-3 for the common DATA classes)
shall be taken into account to get the comprehensive definition of substation-domain-specific LOGICAL-
NODEs.
NOTE 2 IEC 61850-7-4 defines further attributes for LOGICAL-NODEs; for example,, the mode (behaviour:
ON, BLOCKED, TEST, etc.) of the substation-specific LOGICAL-NODE is defined in IEC 61850-7-4. The state
model of a LOGICAL-NODE is modelled as a specific DATA (named Mod).

An instance of a DATA class may contain zero or more instances of a CompositeCDC, SimpleCDC or a
DataAttribute. However, they cannot all be absent, so at least one of these elements shall be present.
NOTE 5 The structure of a DATA class is recursive since a CompositeCDC is also of type DATA class. The
level of recursion may be restricted by a SCSM, so the number of levels of recursion of CompositeCDCs is
normally no greater than 1.
NOTE 6 DATA or part of a DATA may be referenced in a DATA-SET. The persistent existence of DATA is
expected as long as they are referenced as members of a DATA-SET. A system has to take special measures
to ensure their existence.

For a general description of directed earth fault protection, see IEC 61850-5. This LN is used
for directional earthfault handling in compensated and isolated networks. The use of 'operate'
is optional and depends both on protection philosophy and on instrument transformer
capabilities. For compensated networks, this function is often called wattmetric directional
earthfault. The very high accuracy needed for fault current measurement in compensated
networks may require phase angle compensation. This shall be realised by the related LN

For a description of this LN, see IEC 61850-5. The power swing is characterised by slow
periodic changing of measured impedance. Such a moderate impedance change is tolerated,
but may result in tripping of the distance protection function. To avoid this unwanted
behaviour, tripping of distance protection function shall be blocked in the correlated zone
(power swing blocking). For convenience, the instances of RPSB should have the same
instance numbers like the PDIS per zone (RPSB1 and PDIS1, etc.). If the generator is out of
step (pole slipping), transient changes of impedance (one per slip) are measured. After a
small number of slips, (MaxNumSlp) in a dedicated time window (EvTmms), the generator
shall be tripped to avoid mechanical damage (out of step tripping). The actual number of slips
shall be reset either by the trip or by the end of evaluation time.

for directional earthfault handling in compensated and isolated networks. The use of 'operate'
is optional and depends both on protection philosophy and on instrument transformer

For a description of this LN, see IEC 61850-5. The power swing is characterised by slow
periodic changing of measured impedance. Such a moderate impedance change is tolerated,
but may result in tripping of the distance protection function. To avoid this unwanted
behaviour, tripping of distance protection function shall be blocked in the correlated zone
(power swing blocking). For convenience, the instances of RPSB should have the same
instance numbers like the PDIS per zone (RPSB1 and PDIS1, etc.). If the generator is out of
step (pole slipping), transient changes of impedance (one per slip) are measured. After a
small number of slips, (MaxNumSlp) in a dedicated time window (EvTmms), the generator
shall be tripped to avoid mechanical damage (out of step tripping). The actual number of slips
shall be reset either by the trip or by the end of evaluation time.

NOTE 1 IEC 61850-7-4 defines specialized logical node classes - the compatible logical node classes, for
example, XCBR representing circuit-breakers.
The definition of LOGICAL-NODEs for the substation-application domain is refined by the definition of specific
DATAin IEC 61850-7-4. The definitions in IEC 61850-7-4 (and IEC 61850-7-3 for the common DATA classes)
shall be taken into account to get the comprehensive definition of substation-domain-specific LOGICAL-
NODEs.
NOTE 2 IEC 61850-7-4 defines further attributes for LOGICAL-NODEs; for example,, the mode (behaviour:
ON, BLOCKED, TEST, etc.) of the substation-specific LOGICAL-NODE is defined in IEC 61850-7-4. The state
model of a LOGICAL-NODE is modelled as a specific DATA (named Mod).

NOTE 5 The structure of a DATA class is recursive since a CompositeCDC is also of type DATA class. The
level of recursion may be restricted by a SCSM, so the number of levels of recursion of CompositeCDCs is
NOTE 6 DATA or part of a DATA may be referenced in a DATA-SET. The persistent existence of DATA is
expected as long as they are referenced as members of a DATA-SET. A system has to take special measures
to ensure their existence.
