ISO standards and ITU-T recommendations –
TASE.2 User guide

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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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. However, a
technical committee may propose the publication of a technical report when it has collected
data of a different kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard, for
example "state of the art".
IEC 60870-6-505, which is a technical report, has been prepared by IEC technical
committee 57: Power systems management and associated information exchange.
This consolidated version of IEC 60870-6-505 consists of the first edition (2002) [documents
57/548/CDV and 57/580/RVC] and its amendment 1 (2005) [documents 57/663/DTR +
57/730/DTR and 57/695/RVC + 57/737/RVC].
The technical content is therefore identical to the base edition and its amendment and has
been prepared for user convenience.
It bears the edition number 1.1.
A vertical line in the margin shows where the base publication has been modified by
amendment 1.

---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
TR 60870-6-505 © IEC:2002+A1:2005(E) – 5 –
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The committee has decided that the contents of the base publication and its amendments will
remain unchanged until the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under
"http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific publication. At this date,
the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

INTRODUCTION
A large number of utilities use the Telecontrol Application Service Element.2 (TASE.2), an
international standard protocol for communication of real-time data. TASE.2 provides a
common means for all utilities to exchange data between not only control centers, but power
plants and substations as well. The adoption of TASE.2 has lead to the availability of
competitively priced data communication products based on TASE.2 from multiple vendors at
a fraction of the cost of a proprietary system. This report provides guidance for utility users
who are evaluating, procuring, and configuring TASE.2, as well as aid to vendors
implementing TASE.2 in their products. The individual server and data objects comprising
TASE.2 are described, with cross references to the specification. This provides the reader the
basic understanding needed to use the TASE.2 specifications in an informed manner.
The guide then addresses practical issues that arise in connection with TASE.2 use.

TELECONTROL EQUIPMENT AND SYSTEMS –

Part 6-505: Telecontrol protocols compatible with
ISO standards and ITU-T recommendations –
TASE.2 User guide



1 Scope
This technical report provides a set of guidelines on the use of the following TASE.2
international standards:
IEC 60870-6-503
IEC 60870-6-702
IEC 60870-6-802
These standards specify a method of exchanging time-critical control center data through
wide- and local-area networks using a full ISO compliant protocol stack. They contain
provisions for supporting both centralized and distributed architectures. These standards
include the exchange of real-time indications, control operations, time series data, scheduling
and accounting information, unstructured ASCII or binary files, remote program control, and
event notification.
However, the style of the TASE.2 standards may make them somewhat difficult to read for
someone either not familiar with the precise syntax of the language used to describe the
protocol or with all the background leading up to the development of these specifications.
Furthermore, certain types of information that may be very useful to a user of TASE.2 but not
necessary for specifying the protocol or services provided by TASE.2 have been omitted.
Thus the need for this User Guide.
1.1 Intended users
This User Guide is intended for a broad audience of readers from an end user trying to decide
if TASE.2 is appropriate for their data transfer needs to a vendor planning to implement
TASE.2, with the goal of offering a TASE.2 product. In particular, this guide should be helpful
to the following:
• An end user, such as an electric utility, with the need to transfer real-time data to another
utility or utilities or to another internal control center, who is trying to evaluate which
protocol is the most appropriate.
• An end user who has already decided to use TASE.2 and now needs guidance in how to
procure TASE.2.
• An end user who has procured TASE.2 and is now concerned about how to map their
actual data into TASE.2 data objects exactly.
• An end user who is looking for conventions and answers to practical questions regarding
configuring TASE.2 software and networks.
• A vendor with a project to implement the TASE.2 specification either as a special project
or to offer a standard product.

1.2 Organization
This guide first introduces the background and concepts of TASE.2 to provide a framework for
understanding the TASE.2 specification. Then the individual server and data objects
comprising TASE.2 are described with cross references into the specification. At this point,
(i.e., Clauses 1-8) the reader should have all the necessary basic understanding to use the
TASE.2 specifications intelligently. The remainder of the guide (Clauses 9-20) address
practical issues that arise in connection with the use of TASE.2.
1.3 TASE.2 Version
This edition of the TASE.2 User Guide was prepared using the Second Edition of the TASE.2
standards, which at the time of the preparation of this report was the 2000 edition.

5 TASE.2 background
Inter-utility real-time data exchange has become critical to the operation of inter-connected
systems within the electric power utility industry. The ability to exchange power system data
with boundary control areas and beyond provides visibility for disturbance detection and
reconstruction, improved modelling capability and enhanced operation through future security
control centers or independent system operators.
Historically, utilities have relied on in-house or proprietary, non-IS standard protocols such as
those developed by the Western Systems Coordinating Council (WSCC), ELCOM, and the
Inter-utility Data Exchange Consortium (IDEC) to exchange real-time data. TASE.2 began as
an effort by power utilities, several major data exchange protocol support groups for the
protocols mentioned above, EPRI, consultants and a number of SCADA/EMS and protocol
vendors to develop a comprehensive, international standard for real-time data exchange
within the electric power utilities industry.
By giving all interested parties an opportunity to provide requirements input and to participate
in the protocol definition process, it was expected that the final product would both meet the
needs of and be accepted by the electric power utility industry. To accomplish this goal, the
Utility Communicatio
