FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a world-wide organisation for standardisation
comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to
promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardisation in the electrical and
electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards.
Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject
dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental
organisations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the
International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement
between the two organisations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has
representation from all interested National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the
form of standards, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that
sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the
subject of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Recipients of this document are invited to submit, with their comments, notification
of any relevant patent rights of which they are aware and to provide supporting
documentation.
This CDV of the International Standard IEC 61850-9-1 has been prepared by the working
groups 10, 11, and 12 of IEC technical committee 57.
This document is part of the standard series IEC 61850, a set of specifications for

This forward gives also an overview of the relation to the IEC 60044-8 standard.
IEC 60044-8 defines a merging unit as interface to electrical current and voltage
transducers. Data objects provided by that merging unit are specified in IEC 60044-8. This
standard specifies a serial communication interface between the merging unit and
equipment using the digital output of the merging unit like protection or metering equipment.
For the specification of that serial interface, a part of the abstract communication services
defined in IEC 61850-7-2 are mapped on an ISO/IEC 8802-2 / 8802-3 based communication
link.
IEC 61850-9-1 IEC:2001 57/533/CDV 8
INTRODUCTION
This part of IEC 61850 applies to electrical current and voltage transducers (ECT and EVT)
having a digital output, for use with electrical measuring instruments and electrical
protective devices.
The transducer technology can be based on optical arrangements equipped with electronic
components, on air core coils (with or without a built-in integrator) or, on iron core coils with
integrated burden and used as a current to voltage converter, alone or equipped with
electronic components.
For digital output, this standard takes into account a point to point connection from the
electronic transducer to electrical measuring instruments and electrical devices.
This mapping allows interoperability between devices from different manufacturers.
This standard does not specify individual implementations or products, nor does it constrain
the implementation of entities and interfaces within a computer system. This standard
specifies the externally visible functionality of implementations.
Reading Guide
The Point to Point transducer interface as defined here is based on the concepts
described in IEC 60044-8. This standard extends this concept and proposes an
alternative link layer. For the definition and measurement of the transducer accuracy,
synchronisation methods, data rates etc. refer to IEC 60044-8.
This document can best be understood if the reader is thoroughly familiar with Parts 7-1,
7-2, 7-3 and 7-4 of this Standard.
The outline of this part follows the structure of the appropriate part 7-x documents.
No explanations to the ACSI services are given in this part of the standard. For detailed
information about the use of the ACSI services refer to part 7-2.
Behind every ACSI Service the appropriate Ethernet Service is defined. If a service is
not supported, this is also indicated.

COMMUNICATION NETWORKS AND SYSTEMS IN SUBSTATIONS
Part 9-1: Specific Communication Service Mapping (SCSM)
Serial Unidirectional Multidrop Point to Point Link
1 Scope
This part of IEC 61850 specifies the specific communication service mappings for the
communication between bay and process level and specially it specifies a mapping on a
serial unidirectional multidrop point to point link in accordance with IEC 60044-8. The scope
of this part is for the use in substations as a link between electrical current- (ECT) or
voltage-transducers (EVT) and bay devices such as protection. If higher requirements on
sampling rate, inter-bay communication and synchronisation apply these will be covered by
the process bus SCSM IEC 61850-9-2. Figure 3 shows the schematics of this interface.

5 Principal of Mapping to serial unidirectional multidrop point to point link
This chapter gives an overview of the mapping to serial unidirectional multidrop point to
point link. It defines the communication stack and data unit structures for the application
layer. Restrictions to the application that are a consequence of this mapping are defined as
well.
5.1 Communication Stack
Figure 4 gives an overview of the communication stack. The link layer is conforming to
ISO/IEC 8802-2 standard. This standard is usually referred to as Ethernet. In the following
the term Ethernet will be used instead of IEEE 802.3 CSMA/CD.

Whether 100Base-FX, 10Base-FL or 10Base-T shall be used will be specified by the
relevant device standards, depending on the application.
5.1.1 Physical Layer
5.1.1.1 Specifications for the Medium Attachment Unit (MAU)
The connection of the merging unit to the secondary equipment can be an optical fiber
transmission system. In consideration of requirements to the electromagnetic environment a
copper based transmission system is an option.
IEC 61850-9-1 IEC:2001 57/533/CDV 15
5.1.1.2 Fiber optic transmission system
The preferred version of the fiber optic transmission system is IEEE 802.3 10Base-FL. The
100Base-FX system has to be used for sampling rates above 48 x f
r
(a selection guide is
given in ANNEX B). This interface shall be used for applications where this media interface
is already used for other communication links. As far as possible, the same connectors as in
IEC 60870-5-103 will be supported. Always two fibers are necessary for the optical fiber
transmission system.
5.1.1.3 Twisted-pair transmission system
The twisted-pair medium according to IEEE 802.3 10Base-T could be used as an option, if
appropriate electromagnetic shield measures are considered.
5.1.2 Link Layer
5.1.2.1 MAC - Sublayer
As destination address the Ethernet broadcast address shall to be used as a default value,
which is all ones in the destination address field. For this reason no address configuration is
necessary on publisher side. However the destination address could be configurable as an
optional feature e.g. adjust a multicast address to connect a merging unit via switch to a
process bus segment. As source address a unique Ethernet address shall be used.
If the length of the data link protocol data unit is less then 64 bytes, pad bytes must be
added to guarantee the minimum frame length.
5.1.2.2 LLC - Sublayer
ISO/IEC 8802-2 is used as link layer for the serial unidirectional multidrop point to point link.
The LLC-Conformance Class 1 is used for the Link Layer. The LLC PDU contains the DSAP,
SSAP and Control octet. The DSAP and the SSAP will be set to zero (will be changed after
LSAP registration; see Note), in that way the LLC is associated with the underlying MAC
service access point address. Depending on the LLC-Conformance Class 1 the unnumbered
U-format PDUs must be selected via the control field. The two least significant bit have to
be set to 1 all other must be set to 0. Definition of the LLC PDU see ISO/IEC 8802-2.
Note: As agreed at the WG12-meeting in Arnhem for the sampled measured value transmission an unique LLC-
LSAP number shall be used. This LSAP number has to be registered by the IEEE Authority Registration. The
authority registration office needs the CDV document to start the registration process.
The transmission of the sampled measured value buffer shall be done by the LLC
unacknowledged connectionless-mode service DL-UNITDATA.request.

This layer is intentionally left empty.
5.1.4 Transport Layer
This layer is intentionally left empty.
5.1.5 Session Layer
This layer is intentionally left empty.
5.1.6 Presentation Layer
Encoding rules are specified in clause 7.
5.2 Restrictions
This specification is restricted to define the communication between the ECT/EVT related
merging unit and devices on bay level which need raw data of ECT and/or EVT for their
algorithms. Referring to the ACSI model only the mapping of the model for sampled
measured value transfer using broadcast/multicast is supported. The sampled measured
value control class is implicit.
The transmission of current and voltage from the merging unit to bay level device is
unidirectional and done in a broadcast/multicast mode.
The devices supporting this transmission will use fully Ethernet compatible interface that
includes all the facilities for easy plug in. This may imply that bi-directional exchanges exist
to establish and maintain good quality transmission. These exchanges will occur between
network management entities, so-called agent, which are not specified in this specification.
Then devices will be capable of either:
Be connected to a single equipment in a point to point way
Be connected to a switch/hub managing a process bus as specified in 9-2.
The different connection possibilities shall not affect the transmission of universal data set
mechanisms.
The use of the Ethernet link in a bi-directional way to support other exchanges should be
possible according to device capability, but it should not impact transmission of universal
data set. Typical case may be synchronization of local clocks, configuration loading, mode
switching These features are outside the scope of this specification.
Using the mapping to the serial unidirectional multidrop point to point link implies some
restrictions to the application:
In a collision domain the use of a switch is mandatory, because the field device will not
handle retransmission in case of collision.
The model for time synchronisation according to IEC 61850-7-2 is not supported in this
specification. The mapping will be described in part 9-2.
IEC 61850-9-1 IEC:2001 57/533/CDV 17
6 Mapping of common types
6.1 Object name
For the transmission of the sampled measured value buffer the object reference are
encoded as integer values. The incidence between the integer values of the data set
identification and the object name shall be ensured by the engineering tool or by agreement
between the vendors of the client and server.
6.2 Object reference
As defined in IEC 61850-7-2 the name structure for the whole path to an instance is as
follows:
<LD name> / <LN name>.<Data name>[.<Data name>]. <Data attribute name>
The object reference in this SCSM concludes the whole path of the class and instance
reference. Other hierarchy levels are not separately accessible.
In detail the SCSM Data Sets are mapped to the object reference as follows:
Table 1 Mapping of the object reference
ACSI Object name SCSM value
<LD name> INTEGER UI16
<LN name>
<LN class name>
INTEGER UI8
LLN0 Logical node zero
<Data name> INTEGER UI8
<Data attribute name> not visible
NOTE It is assumed, that the data sets used for the transmission of sampled measured values include in
many cases data objects from more than one logical node and are therefore allocated in LLN0.
IEC 61850-9-1 IEC:2001 57/533/CDV 18
7 Mapping of the model for transmission of sampled measured values
There are two data sets specified in this document. The universal data set according to IEC
60044-8 and the status indications specified in Annex A.
Each data set is mapped to one sampled measured value control class and to one sampled
measured value buffer.
The transmission buffer refresh rate and the communication update rate are always equal
and not independent from each other. The consequences on publisher level are:
After the sampling procedure is finished the data set will be stored into the transmission
buffer (refresh rate = sampled rate), or more than one data set could be stored into one
APDU frame before the transmission buffer will be refreshed (refresh rate = sampled
rate / n). Description of blocking mechanism see clause 7.4.
Only one data set or APDU can be stored into the transmission buffer, previous entries
will be overwritten.
To avoid data overwriting, the data transmission must be initiated from the
communication system immediately after the buffer update process is finished.

7.3 Mapping of the update of the sampled measured value buffer
According to the specification of IEC 61850-7-2, the communication system is responsible to
update the buffer of the subscriber.
The update is directly mapped on the ISO/IEC 8802-2 LLC sublayer with the following
specialisations:
Service: DL-UNITDATA
LSAP: [tbd]
However, the communication stack used does not provide the following functionality:
Initiating the update of the sampled measured value buffer over the communication link.
This is application layer functionality.
Encode the abstract data types. This is presentation layer functionality.
Concatenate the update of more than one transmission buffer into the same link layer
frame as a transport layer functionality is not supported. The opposite, to segment the
update of one buffer to several link layer frames is not considered, since the maximum
frame length of the link layer protocols is sufficient.
Therefore, the additional definitions of clause 7.4 apply.

The SCSM software of the publisher has to send the sampled measured value buffer over
the communication link.
The mapping provides the capability, to concatenate more than one block into one APDU
before the APDU will be posted into the transmission buffer. The number of blocks which
will be concatenated into one APDU are configurable and related to the sample rate. The
concatenation of blocks is not dynamic changeable to reduce the implementation complexity
for simpler devices.
Details are shown in
Figure 5.

To be compatible to further ASN.1 (BER) encoded sampled measured value data sets
related to the definition in IEC 61850-9-2 an ASN.1 tag and length is added up front as an
part of the APCI. This tag specifies an octet string and is defined as context-specific and
primitive (0x80) according to the ASN.1 basic encoding rules (BER). The ASN.1 grammar
for the sampled measured value messages are defined as follows to ensure data
consistency in combination with further sampled measured value messages as described in
part 9-2 of this standard:

9-1-Pdu [0] IMPLICIT OCTET STRING,
smvPdu [1] IMPLICIT SmvPdu,

Presentation layer functionality
For the transmission, the sampled measured value buffer is encoded as specified in the
following table:

NOTE for the encoding of the listOfDataObjectValues, the rules for the encoding of the common data classes
apply for the SIG. The mapping of the sampled values and status attributes in the universal data set is
optimised according to the specifications in IEC 60044-8. It is not necessary that all possible transducers are
connected to the merging unit. In this case in the universal data set for the current resp. voltage values not used
zeros are transmitted and the relevant data invalid bits are set.
Transport layer functionality
The communication system of the publisher has to send the sampled measured value buffer
over the communication link after every buffer refresh. The buffer refresh rate depends on
the sampling rate and the number of concatenated APDU blocks (see clause 7.4 also).

8 Mapping of the common data classes
8.1 Overview
For the use of the common data classes defined in IEC 61850-7-3 with the model for the
transmission of sampled measured values, the definitions of clause 8.2 apply.
8.2 Additional definitions for the mapping of the common data classes
The common data classes of IEC 61850-7-3 used in the context of the transmission of
sampled measured values are encoded as specified in the following tables (only operational
attributes are shown):

NOTE 1 according to IEC 61850-7-3, range is an optional attribute and is not required in the sampled
measured value buffer format defined in IEC 61850-7-2.
NOTE 2 according to IEC 61850-7-3, t is a mandatory attribute. However, in the specification of the sampled
measured value buffer format as defined in IEC 61850-7-2, t is not included with the data object values; there is
only one sample counter attached that indicates the refresh of the universal data set sampled values as
specified in IEC 60044-8.
However, for the universal data set, the encoding of the list of data object values does not
follow some general rules but is instead optimised. The encoding of the list of data object
values is defined in IEC 60044-8.

enough to allow reasonable antialiasing filters in the merging unit,
but it shall not be so high that it significantly affects protection
device performance. Therefore the rated delay time for this

The SourceIdentifier specifies the Logical Devices by a unique number within the
communication system.
The following values are defined for the SourceIdentifier:
Value 0000 H is reserved as a default value for configurable merging units.
Value FFFF H is used for merging units that are not configurable. These merging
unit will use the broadcast MAC address.
All DataObjects of a data set shall be sampled at the same time.
