Very interesting paper just published ... presenting a work-around for MMS ;-)
Integration Method for IEC 61850 into Legacy and Modern PLC Systems
I am a little bit surprised ... when I worked for Siemens (Karlsruhe) I published two papers in the year 1991 (35 years ago!) expecting that MMS could be implemented into a PLC:
Click HERE for the paper “Bridging MAP to Ethernet” [PDF, 720 KB, 1991]
Click HERE for the paper “Fieldbus standardization: Another way to go” [PDF, 720 KB, 1991].
Today we know that MMS could be integrated into PLCs ...
Gateways work always - definitely.
The expected new work on IEC 61850-8-3 (another mapping than to MMS) would change the situation tremendously:
Communication networks and systems for power utility automation –
Specific Communication Service Mapping (SCSM) –
Mapping to Direct Message Specification (DMS),
JSON Encoding Rules, and WebSockets
