INFO TECH delivered to VAMP Ltd. the implementation of IEC61850 server interface for their newest protection relays VAMP 257, VAMP 259 and VAMP 50.

IEC61850 server functionality includes configurable data model, reporting functions based on pre-defined and dynamically created datasets, GOOSE publisher and GOOSE subscriber, a tool program for generation of ICD document and configuring the device in accordance with the provided system description in SCD file. The software was developed using INFO TECH IEC61850 Software Library. VAMP relay with IEC 61850 server interface has successfully passed the tests against tools, substation gateways and SCADA systems built on 4 other IEC 61850 software libraries.

During spring and summer 2008 the joint team of INFO TECH and Institute of Power Engineering from Gdansk developed and deployed the IEC 61850 server interface on the data concentrator of the 160 MVA and 330 MVA transformers manufactured by ABB Sp. z o.o. from Lodz, Poland.

This data concentrator was implemented using WAGO PLC. Concentrators together with transformers are supplied to 220/110 kV and 400/110kV transmission substations of PSE-Operator SA, the Polish grid operator. The data concentrator software was developed using INFO TECH IEC61850 Software Library. According to our knowledge this is the first released implementation of the IEC 61850 server in PLC! Running in the field, in several substation installations.

IN September 2007 the Institute of Power Engineering (IEn) from Gdansk purchased from INFO TECH the license to our source code product - INFO TECH IEC61850 Software Library, including both client and server functions.

INFO TECH and IEn signed also a co-operation agreement for joint marketing actions and development projects in Poland.
