Communication networks and systems for power utility automation - Part 7-3: Basic communication structure - Common data classes
IEC 61850-7-3:2010 is applicable to the description of device models and functions of substations and feeder equipment. It specifies constructed attribute classes and common data classes related to substation applications. In particular, it specifies common data classes for status information, common data classes for measured information, common data classes for control, common data classes for status settings, common data classes for analogue settings and attribute types used in these common data classes. This second edition defines new common data classes used for new standards defining object models for other domains based on IEC 61850 and for the representation of statistical and historical data.
This publication is of core relevance for Smart Grid.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This consolidated version of the official IEC Standard and its amendment has been
prepared for user convenience.
IEC 61850-7-3 edition 2.1 contains the second edition (2010-12) [documents 57/1087/
FDIS and 57/1085/RVD] and its amendment 1 (2020-02) [documents 57/2101/FDIS and
57/2132/RVD].
International Standard IEC 61850-7-3 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 57: Power
systems management and associated information exchange.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2003.

Compared to the first edition, this second edition:
• defines new common data classes used for new standards defining object models for other
domains based on IEC 61850 and for the representation of statistical and historical data;
• provides clarifications and corrections to the first edition of IEC 61850-7-3;
Compared to the second edition, this first revision of the second edition:
a) provides clarifications and corrections to the second edition of IEC 61850-7-3, based on the

b) includes semantic of attributes within tables in clauses 6 and 7 and thus removes the need
for explicit semantic definition in Clause 8;
c) Clause 8 now contains definitions of newly introduced explicit enumerated types (with
tables); this is fully backward compatible as the value of the literals have

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61850-7-3 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 57:
Power systems management and associated information exchange.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2003.
Compared to the first edition, this second edition:
· defines new common data classes used for new standards defining object models for
other domains based on IEC 61850 and for the representation of statistical and historical
data,
· provides clarifications and corrections to the first edition of IEC 61850-7-3.

INTRODUCTION
This document is part of a set of specifications, which details layered substation com-
munication architecture. This architecture has been chosen to provide abstract definitions of
classes and services such that the specifications are independent of specific protocol stacks
and objects. The mapping of these abstract classes and services to communication stacks is
outside the scope of IEC 61850-7-x and may be found in IEC 61850-8-x (station bus) and
IEC 61850-9-x (process bus).
IEC 61850-7-1 gives an overview of this communication architecture. This part of IEC 61850
defines constructed attributed classes and common data classes related to applications in the
power system using IEC 61850 modeling concepts like substations, hydro power or distributed
energy resources. These common data classes are used in IEC 61850-7-4 to define
compatible dataObject classes. The SubDataObjects, DataAttributes or SubAttributes of the
instances of dataObject are accessed using services defined in IEC 61850-7-2.
This part of IEC 61850 is used to specify the abstract common data class and constructed
attribute class definitions. These abstract definitions are mapped into concrete object
definitions that are to be used for a particular protocol (for example MMS, ISO 9506 series).
Note that there are common data classes used for service tracking, that are defined in
IEC 61850-7-2.

6 Constructed attribute classes
6.1 General
Constructed attribute classes are defined for the use in common data classes (CDC) in
Clause 7.
IEC 61850-7-1 provides an overview of all IEC 61850-7 documents (IEC 61850-7-2,
IEC 61850-7-3, and IEC 61850-7-4). IEC 61850-7-1 also describes the basic notation used in
IEC 61850-7-3 and the description of the relations between the IEC 61850-7 documents.
NOTE The common ACSI type "TimeStamp" is specified in IEC 61850-7-2.
6.2 Quality
6.2.1 Overview
Quality type shall be as defined in Table 2.
– 12 – 61850-7-3 Ó IEC:2010
Table 2 – Quality
Quality type definition
Attribute name Attribute type Value/Value range M/O/C

failure BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE M
oldData BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE M
inconsistent BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE M
inaccurate BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE M

operatorBlocked BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE M
The DEFAULT value shall be applied, if the functionality of the related attribute is not
supported. The mapping may specify to exclude the attribute from the message, if it is not
supported or if the DEFAULT value applies.
Quality shall be an attribute that contains information on the quality of the information from
the server. Quality of the data is also related to the mode of a logical node. Further details
can be found in IEC 61850-7-4. The different quality identifiers are not independent. Basically,
there are the following quality identifiers:
· validity;
· detail quality;
· source;
· test;
· frozen by operator.
6.2.2 Validity
Validity shall be good, questionable or invalid.
good: The value shall be marked good if no abnormal condition of the acquisition function or
the information source is detected.
invalid: The value shall be marked invalid when an abnormal condition of the acquisition
function or the information source (missing or non-operating updating devices) is detected.
The value shall not be defined under this condition. The mark invalid shall be used to indicate
to the client that the value may be incorrect and shall not be used.
EXAMPLE If an input unit detects an oscillation of one input, it will mark the related information as invalid.
questionable: The value shall be marked questionable if a supervision function detects an
abnormal behaviour, however the value could still be valid. The client shall be responsible for
determining whether or not values marked "questionable" should be used.
61850-7-3 Ó IEC:2010 – 13 –
6.2.3 Detail quality
The reason for an invalid or questionable value of an attribute may be specified in more detail
with further quality identifiers. If one of these identifiers is set then validity shall be set to
invalid or questionable. Table 3 shows the relation of the detailed quality identifiers with
invalid or questionable quality.

overflow: this identifier shall indicate a quality issue that the value of the attribute to which the
quality has been associated is beyond the capability of being represented properly (used for
measurand information only).
EXAMPLE A measured value may exceed the range that may be represented by the selected data type, for
example the data type is a 16-bit unsigned integer and the value exceeds 65 535.
outOfRange: this identifier shall indicate a quality issue that the attribute to which the quality
has been associated is beyond a predefined range of values. The server shall decide if
validity shall be set to invalid or questionable (used for measurand information only).
EXAMPLE A measured value may exceed a predefined range, however the selected data type can still represent
the value, for example the data type is a 16-bit unsigned integer, the predefined range is 0 to 40 000, if the value is
between 40 001 and 65 535 it is considered to be out of range.
badReference: this identifier shall indicate that the value may not be a correct value due to a
reference being out of calibration. The server shall decide if validity shall be set to invalid or

oscillatory: to prevent overloading of event driven communication channels, it is desirable to
detect and suppress oscillating (fast changing) binary inputs. If a signal changes in a defined
time (t ) twice in the same direction (from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 0) then it shall be defined as an
osc
oscillation and the detail quality identifier “oscillatory” shall be set. If a configured number of
transient changes is detected, they shall be suppressed. In this time, the validity status
"questionable” shall be set. If the signal is still in the oscillating state after the defined number
of changes, the value shall be left in the state it was in when the oscillatory flag was set. In
this case, the validity status "questionable” shall be reset and “invalid” shall be set as long as
the signal is oscillating. If the configuration is such that all transient changes should be
suppressed, the validit
