How to connect awtSCADA to IEC 61850 devices (MMS, GOOSE, Sampled Values) #2

Connecting awtSCADA to IEC 61850 Equipment

awtSCADA includes a full IEC 61850 communication stack:

• MMS (Manufacturing Message Specification) — read/write data objects, control commands
• GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Event) — fast multicast events
• SV (Sampled Values) — real-time measurement streams

Setup Steps

1. Start the Python Gateway: python3 scada_gateway.py
2. Configure IED connection in the gateway config
3. Open awtSCADA HTML in your browser
4. Add IEC 61850 tags to your project
5. Map tags to graphic elements

Supported IEDs

• ABB REL670, REF615
• Siemens SIPROTEC 5
• GE Multilin
• SEL-400 series
• Any IED supporting IEC 61850 Ed.1 or Ed.2
