IEC 61850 is the global
communication standard for Power
Distribution and Substation
Automation. ABB’s System 800xA
Extended Automation controller has
received KEMA certification for its
IEC 61850 electrical integration
interface. System 800xA’s ability to
integrate a wide variety of intelligent
electronic devices provides a single
platform for process and electrical
systems, which is said to result in
significant operational and energy
efficiency benefits.

This certification assures that
System 800xA’s AC 800M controller is
in full compliance with the global IEC
61850 standard for electrical devices.

ABB has been delivering integrate
systems for many years, and has been
active in the development of IEC
61850, which ensures global consistency
and interoperability of industrial
electrical system components.
