PD IEC TR 60870-6-505:2002

What is PD IEC/TR 60870-6-505 — TASE.2 User guide about? 

PD IEC/TR 60870-6-505 is an international standard that discusses the telecontrol protocols compatible with ISO standards and ITU-T recommendations. 

PD IEC/TR 60870-6-505 is a technical report that 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 centre data through wide- and local-area networks using a full ISO compliant protocol stack. They contain provisions for supporting both centralized and distributed architectures. 

However, the style of the TASE.2 standards makes them 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. Thus, the need for this User Guide. 

PD IEC/TR 60870-6-505 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.  

Who is PD IEC/TR 60870-6-505- TASE.2 User guide for?  

PD IEC/TR 60870-6-505 on TASE.2 User guide is relevant to: 

• Entities with the need to transfer real-time data to another utility or utilities or to another internal control centre, who is trying to evaluate which protocol is the most appropriate 
• A User who has already decided to use TASE.2 and now needs guidance on how to procure TASE.2 
• Entity who has procured TASE.2 and is now concerned about how to map their actual data into TASE.2 data objects exactly 
• Entity 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 

Why should you use PD IEC/TR 60870-6-505 - TASE.2 User guide? 

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 centres or independent system operators. 

Many utilities use the telecontrol Application Service Element.2 (TASE.2), an international standard protocol for the communication of real-time data.  

PD IEC/TR 60870-6-505 provides a common means for all utilities to exchange data between not only control centres but for power plants and substations as well. It leads 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.  

PD IEC/TR 60870-6-505 provides guidance for utility users who are evaluating, procuring, and configuring TASE.2, as well as aid vendors in implementing TASE.2 in their products.  

PD IEC/TR 60870-6-505 guides the reader with the basic understanding needed to use the TASE.2 specifications in an informed manner. It addresses practical issues that arise in connection with TASE.2 use. 

PD IEC/TR 60870-6-505 introduces the background and concepts of TASE.2 to provide a framework for understanding the TASE.2 specification. The individual server and data objects comprising TASE.2 are described in here, with cross-references into the specification. 

PD IEC/TR 60870-6-505 assists you with the TASE.2 that maximizes the use of existing standard protocols in all layers up to and including the lower layers of layer 7 in the OSI reference model.  

Overall, PD IEC/TR 60870-6-505 is useful as it provides guidance on telecontrol protocols compatible with ISO standards and ITU-T recommendations which can be beneficial for your business.
