Integration certification

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.
