IEC 61850-7-1 CDV Amendment 1 available for comments

The Amendment 1 of IEC 61850-7-1 is now available for comments and voting:

Communication networks and systems for power utility automation –
Part 7-1: Basic communication structure – Principles and models

IEC TC 57 just published the document 57/2035/CDV.

Ballot closes 2018-12-28.

The CDV is publicly available for comments for everybody:

Please note the following:

The distributed CDV reflects the amendment 1 (corrections and extensions) to IEC 61850-7-1 Ed2.

A second document (called consolidated edition 2.1) incorporates the amendment 1 (120 pages) and the existing Ed2. The consolidated edition (195 pages) is circulated as 57/2036/INF (unfortunately not publicly available).
After the CDV/FDIS approval process the consolidated version will be published together with the amendment 1 under reference IEC 61850-7-1 Ed2.1.

The version 2.1 will introduce the latest modelling extensions.

The new version of IEC 61850-7-1 will be one of the most crucial documents of the standard series IEC 61850. As the editor of edition 1 I see that most of the content of the version 1 is still the basic information presented in this part 7-1 šŸ˜Š

This document shows also that the standard series is growing and getting quite complex ... for simple applications you need to understand what is mandatory and what is optional!
