Part 5: Communication requirements for functions and device models
AMENDMENT 1
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 document may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Amendment 1 to IEC 61850-5:2013 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 57: Power
systems management and associated information exchange.The text of this Amendment is based on the following documents:

INTRODUCTION
Delete the existing fourth paragraph of the Introduction. Replace the existing text of the fifth
paragraph of the Introduction with the following new text:The IEC 61850 series shall be long living but allow following the fast changes in communication
technology by both its technical approach and its document structure. The IEC 61850 series
has been organized so that at least minor changes to one part do not require a significant
rewriting of another part. For example, the derived data models in subsequent parts
(IEC 61850-7-x) and mappings to dedicated stacks (IEC 61850-8-x and IEC 61850-9-x) based
on the communication requirements in IEC 61850-5 will not change the requirements defined
in IEC 61850-5. In addition, the general parts, the requirement specification and the modelling
parts are independent from any implementation. The implementation needed for the use of the
standard is defined in some few dedicated parts referring to main stream communication means
thus supporting the long living of the standard and its potential for later technical changes.
Replace the existing text of the sixth paragraph of the Introduction with the following new text:
This consolidated version of IEC 61850-5:2013 and its Amendment 1 defines thecommunication requirements for functions and device models for power utility automation
systems.Replace the existing text of the seventh paragraph and the Note of the Introduction with the
following new text:The modelling of communication requires the definition of objects (e.g., data objects, data sets,
report control, log control) and services accessing the objects (e.g., get, set, report, create,
delete). This is defined in IEC 61850-7 with a clear interface to implementation. To use the
benefits of communication technology, in this standard no new protocol stacks are defined but
a standardized mapping on existing stacks is given in IEC 61850-8 and IEC 61850-9. A System
configuration language (IEC 61850-6) for strong formal description of the system usable for
software tools and a standardized conformance testing (IEC 61850-10) complement the
standard.NOTE 1 To keep the layered approach of the standard not mixing application and implementation requirements,
terms like client, server, data objects, etc. are normally not used in IEC 61850-5 (requirements). In IEC 61850-7
(modelling), -8 and -9 (specific communication service mapping) terms belonging to application requirements like
PICOM are normally not used.NOTE 2 Specific requirements concerning extensions of part 8 are covered in separate technical reports, e.g.
IEC TR 61850-80-3.Figure 1 – Relative position of this part of the standard

1 Scope
Replace the existing text of Clause 1 by the following new text:
The specifications of this document refer to general, respectively core, communication
requirements of the application functions in all domains of power utility automation systems.
Dedicated communication requirements and most examples of application functions in this
document are from the domain substation automation but may be reused in or extended to other
domains within power utility automation systems. Note that sometimes instead of the term
substation automation domain the term substation domain is used, especially if both the
switchyard devices (primary system) and the automation system (secondary system) are
regarded.The description of the application functions is not used to standardize these functions, but to
identify communication requirements between Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) hosting
these functions within plants and substations in the power system, between such stations (e.g.
between substation for line protection) and between the plant or substation and higher-level
remote operating places (e.g. network control centres) and maintenance places. In addition
interfaces to remote technical services (e.g. maintenance centres) are considered. The general
scope is the communication requirements for power utility automation systems. The basic goal
is interoperability for all interactions providing a seamless communication system for the overall
power system management. Another prerequisite for interoperability is a commonly defined
method for time synchronization.Standardizing application functions and their implementation is completely outside the scope of
this document. Therefore, it cannot be assumed a single philosophy of allocating application
functions to devices. To support the resulting request for free allocation of these functions, a
proper breakdown of these functions into parts relevant for communication is defined. The
exchanged data and their required performance are defined.The same or similar IEDs from substations like protective and control devices are found in other
domains like power plants also. Using this document for such devices in these plants facilitates
the system integration e.g. between the power plant control and the related substation
automation system. For some of such other application domains like wind power plants, hydro
power plants and distributed energy resources specific standard parts according to the
IEC 61850 series have been already defined and published.2 Normative references
Replace the existing text of Clause 2 by the following new text:
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and
are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments)
applies.IEC 60617, Graphical symbols for diagrams – 12-month subscription to regularly updated online

3 Terms and definitions
Replace the existing text of the first two paragraphs of Clause 3 by the following new text:
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in IEC TS 61850-2, as well
as the following apply.ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following
addresses:• IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
• ISO Online browsing platform: available at http://www.iso.org/obp
3.1 General
Replace the existing text of terms and definitions 3.1.1 to 3.1.4 with the following new text:
3.1.1application function
task which is performed in or by power utility automation systems
Note 1 to entry: Generally, an application function consists of subparts which may be distributed to different IEDs,
which exchange data with each other. More precisely these sub-functions implemented in the IEDs exchange data.
Also, between different functions data are exchanged. The exchanged data exposed to the communication system
shall be standardized based on the semantic content to be understandable by the receiving function. For this purpose,
the standard groups the exchanged data in objects called Logical Nodes which refer to the name of the allocated
functions by their mnemonic name.3.1.2
local function
application function which is performed by sub-functions in one physical device
Note 1 to entry: If the performance of the functions is not depending on functions in other devices no standardized
link is needed. Sometimes, functions with a weak dependency only from other ones are also called local functions.
The loss of such links should not result in blocking these functions but in worst case to some graceful degradation.
3.1.3distributed function
application function which is performed by sub-functions in two or more different physical
devicesNote 1 to entry: The exchanged data is contained in Logical Nodes having a common semantic reference to the
distributed function. Since all functions communicate in some way, the definition of a local or a distributed function
is not unique but depends on the definition of the functional steps to be performed until the function is defined as
complete. In case of losing the data of one Logical Node or losing one included communication link the function may
be blocked completely or show a graceful degradation if applicable.3.1.4
system
set of interacting entities which perform a common functionality
Note 1 to entry: The backbone of the system is the data exchange.
3.1.16
logical node (LN)
Replace the existing text of term 3.1.16 with the following new text:

Replace the existing text of definition 3.2.2 by the following new text:
communication link between intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) and is providing all logical
connections for the implemented application functions represented by Logical Nodes
3.2.4hidden connection
Replace the existing text of the note to 3.2.4 by the following new text:
Note 1 to entry: This data exchange is not visible and cannot be used by other IEDs therefore not requesting
interoperability. It should be noted that by distributing combined application functions in one IED to more than one
IED hidden connections may get exposed ones which shall be standardized.3.5 Power utility automation functions at different levels

station level functions
Replace the existing text (not including the note) of definition 3.5.2 with the following new text:
power system application functions referring to the substation or plant as whole3.5.3

Replace the existing text of definition 3.5.3 with the following new text:
application functions using mainly the data of one bay and acting mainly on the primary
equipment of one bay3.5.4
process level functions
Replace the existing text of definition 3.5.4 and Note 1 with the following new text:
application functions interfacing to the process, i.e. basically binary and analogue I/O functions
like data acquisition (including sampling) and issuing of commands related to one primary object
(e.g. circuit breaker)Note 1 to entry: These functions communicate via the logical interfaces IF4 and IF5 to the bay level. The process
level functions may be implemented in the bay level IEDs together with the bay level functions if no process bus is
applied. If a process bus is applied the process level functions are implemented in process level IEDs.
3.5.5process related station level functions
