TOP Server IEC 61850 MMS Client OPC Driver
Reliable Connectivity for IEC 61850 MMS devices in Electrical Substation applications
The TOP Server IEC 61850 MMS Client driver provides a communication interface for devices used in power distribution supporting the IEC 61850 over MMS protocol to interface to OPC DA, OPC UA, & AVEVA Suitelink client applications.
IEC 61850 is a modern electrical substation communication protocol designed with the goal of decreasing data management effort. It uses symbolic addresses to reduce the time-intensive data mapping of numerically-addressed protocols, supports several self-description services for online data configuration and validation, and supports metadata in addition to real, measured data.
The IEC 61850 Driver provides an easy and reliable way to read and write data for devices used in power distribution applications supporting IEC 61850 over MMS through client applications (including HMI, SCADA, Historian, MES, ERP, and countless custom applications).
The driver is available in a lite version for up to 10 devices for tight budgets, and a full version where number of devices is not license limited. Full capacity details are found under "Key Features" on this page.
Available here as a standalone real-time data driver or also available in the following vertical Industry Suite:
