IEC 61850 – Brief Report from first day at Hannover Messe 2013

The Hannover Messe has opened today (Monday, 08 April 2013). Some 6,800 exhibitors demonstrate their industrial products from industrial fieldbusses and PLCs to Power Generation and Power System Automation and Protection.

I am personally involved (as a Missionary for IEC 61850, IEC 61400-25, IEC 60870-5-104, DNP3, Modbus, …) in helping interested people at the booth of TQ Systems, Beck IPC and SystemCorp to get a brief introduction of IEC 61850, answering questions and helping them to navigate trough the above standards … mainly: How to get from standards to market-ready products!

There was a lot of interest in the solutions the three companies could provide. Many people just stopped at the booth and were excited to see how easy it is these days to get their IEDs and systems to speak the above standard communication languages!

In case you are visiting the Hannover Messe this week, please come by at booth C45/1 in hall 13.
