We seem to have a communications standards theme to this week's e-newsletter. Our featured article is about a new Ethernet-based communications standard for power generation systems. Our Automation Cartoon stems from the article and jokes about having to add yet another communications network to the plant. Even the Dilbert strip pokes fun at industry standards.
Given the large number of communication and IO networks available today, we decided to conduct a quick poll of our subscribers about the number of different communication networks they have implemented in their factories and plants. The list of available networks includes, but is not limited to: Foundation Fieldbus, ControlNet, PROFIBUS, Interbus, AS-Interface, CanOpen, CC-Link, PROFINET, HART, Ethernet, EtherCAT, Ethernet Powerlink, SERCOS, Modbus, LonWorks and DeviceNet. Take our poll and let us know how many different networks you have in your facility. The answers are tallied in real-time so you can see the results as soon as you submit your answer. I look forward to seeing the results! Rick Zabel
Publisher | | Featured Articles |  IEC 61850 Power Industry Communications Standard
By Bill Lydon
IEC 61850 is the new Ethernet-based international standard for communication in power generation facilities and substations. The goal is the integration of all protection, control, measurement, and monitoring functions within a substation, and to provide the means for high-speed substation protection applications, interlocking and intertripping. These devices are generally referred to as Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED).
