Part 80-1: Guideline to exchanging information from a CDC-based
data model using IEC 60870-5-101 or IEC 60870-5-104

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.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. In
exceptional circumstances, a technical committee may propose the publication of a technical
specification when
• the required support cannot be obtained for the publication of an International Standard,
despite repeated efforts, or
• the subject is still under technical development or where, for any other reason, there is the
future but no immediate possibility of an agreement on an International Standard.
Technical specifications are subject to review within three years of publication to decide
whether they can be transformed into International Standards.
IEC 61850-80-1, which is a technical specification, 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 2008. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) IEC TS 61850-80-1:2008 is based on the definitions of IEC 61850 Edition 1. After the
publication of IEC TS 61850-80-1:2008 the standard series IEC 61850 was updated to
Edition 2 (almost all parts);
b) In particular, IEC 61850-7-3:2010 introduces new Common Data Classes (CDCs) which
are currently not mapped to IEC 60870-5-101 or IEC 60870-5-104 in IEC 61850-80-
1:2008. Those new CDCs are: ENS, HST, VSS, ENC, BAC, ENG, ORG, TSG, CUG, VSG,
CSG. IEC 61400-25-4, which is currently being updated, makes reference to IEC TS
61850-80-1:2008 and therefore needs to be updated according to the definitions of this
second edition of IEC 61850. The following CDCs are missing in the IEC 61850-80-1:2008
and have therefore been added to this new edition for IEC 61400-25-4 Edition 2: ENS,
ENC, ENG, ORG.
The text of this technical specification is based on the following documents:
Enquiry draft Report on voting
57/1649/DTS 57/1726/RVC
Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical specification can be found in
the report on voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts of the IEC 61850 series, published under the general title Communication
networks and systems for power utility automation, can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• transformed into an International standard,
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
A bilingual edition of this document may be issued at a later date.

IMPORTANT – The 'colour inside' logo on the cover page of this publication indicates
that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct
understanding of its contents. Users should therefore print this document using a

Part 80-1: Guideline to exchanging information from a CDC-based
data model using IEC 60870-5-101 or IEC 60870-5-104

1 Scope
This part of IEC 61850, which is a technical specification, gives a guideline on how to
exchange information from a CDC-based data model (for example IEC 61850) using
IEC 60870-5-101 or IEC 60870-5-104 between substation(s) and control center(s). Mostly
guidelines for functions needed in a substation gateway device are given.
The goal of this technical specification is to describe standardized mapping of device-oriented
data models (for example IEC 61850) with already defined attributes of CDCs and services
(for example IEC 61850-7) onto the already defined ASDUs and services of IEC 60870-5-104
or IEC 60870-5-101. It is not the goal of this technical specification to add any extensions to
published standards (for example IEC 61850 or IEC 60870-5-104 or IEC 60870-5-101).
After an introduction giving a basic description of the mapping, the mapping of the information
model with associated data classes, and the mapping of services are described. Clause 9
shows how the mapped data and services according to the IEC 60870-5-104 and
IEC 60870-5-101 protocol are marked (selected) in the interoperability sheet.
The scope of this technical specification is to achieve real-time exchange of process
information required for operational purposes between a substation using a CDC-based data
model (for example IEC 61850) and (a) control center(s) using a communication link over a
wide area network (WAN) compliant to the definitions of IEC 60870-5-101 or IEC 60870-5-
104. The amount of real-time information provided by the substation-gateway device can vary
dependent on the operational needs. Actors could be regional and nationwide control centers
that receive real-time information in order to monitor and control geographically widespread
processes. The described mapping can be used for several fields of application of power
utilities, such as substations, hydro and wind power plants, and decentralized energy
resources DER. The mapping is based on the definitions of the IEC 61850 series and
IEC 60870-5-104:2006/IEC 60870-5-101:2003. The scope of the mapped IEC 60870-5-104
and IEC 60870-5-101 subset is given in Clause 9.
This technical specification focuses mainly on defining rules and functions of a gateway
device as a part of the substation. However, the rules and functions are also valid when an
IED may optionally be connected directly to a WAN compliant with IEC 60870-5-101 or
IEC 60870-5-104 and therefore, the mapping has to be done inside the IED.
To enable an automated database management approach, which aims to ensure consistency
between the databases of substations and control centers, the SCD file (substation
configuration description) can be extended with IEC 60870-5-101/IEC 60870-5-104 specific
information to configure the 61850 to 101/104 gateway. How the SCD file can be extended is
described in Annex A.
The extended substation configuration description (SCD+) is recommended to be used to
configure any gateway in a vendor independent format.

4 The mapping architecture
The mapping architecture consists of five parts:
1) conceptual architecture of a gateway device and associated use cases;
2) conceptual architecture of an IED directly connected to a WAN (optional);
3) mapping of the information model;
4) mapping of the data (which is in fact part of the information model);
5) mapping of the services.
5 Conceptual architectures and associated use cases
5.1 Conceptual architecture of a gateway device
5.1.1 General
IEC
Figure 1 – Conceptual architecture of a gateway device
Figure 1 describes the conceptual architecture of a gateway device within a substation. The
gateway device is decoupling the IEC 61850 station bus from the IEC 60870-5-101 or
IEC 60870-5-104 WAN via a process image (PI). The advantage of this approach is that only
services for control model interaction need to be mapped.
The PI is organized according the data model of IEC 61850 (LDs, LNs, CDCs).
The IEC 61850 client/GOOSE subscriber is used to update the PI with process data made
available by the IEDs.
The IEC 61850 server/proxy is used to:
• make process data coming from remote devices available for IEDs inside the substation;
• retrieve the data model for:
