IEC 61850 network engineering
We engineer the Ethernet networks that carry IEC 61850 — station bus and process bus — so GOOSE, Sampled Values and MMS are delivered deterministically and the design is verified before commissioning.
Designed for protection-grade timing
We design VLAN segregation, priority tagging, bandwidth and redundancy so protection messaging stays inside its timing budget, then verify the behaviour against the IEC 61850 engineering guidelines.
- Station-bus and process-bus topology with PRP/RSTP redundancy
- GOOSE/SV VLAN and priority plan that protects real-time traffic
- Verification against IEC 61850 network engineering test procedures
Secure as well as fast
Comms security (IEC 62351) and 62443 segmentation are designed in alongside the traffic engineering, so the substation network is performant and defensible from one model.
Frequently asked questions
What does IEC 61850 network engineering involve?+
Designing the substation/DER Ethernet network for IEC 61850: topology, VLANs, priority, bandwidth and redundancy for GOOSE, Sampled Values and MMS — then verifying it meets the standard's timing and reliability requirements.
Do you design process bus networks?+
Yes — both station bus and the higher-bandwidth, timing-sensitive process bus, including Sampled Values traffic engineering and PRP redundancy where zero recovery time is required.
