Features:
- Enables a PACSystems RX3i controller to act as an IEC 61850 Client.
- The module communicates with IEC 61850 Server intelligent electronic devices using the substation automation protocol.
- Compatibility depends on the exact supported CPU and firmware combination for the exact supported hardware combination.
The module communicates with IEC 61850 Server intelligent electronic devices using the substation automation protocol.
Compatibility depends on the exact supported CPU and firmware combination for the exact supported hardware combination.
IC695ECM850 combines an RX3i hardware configuration, IEC 61850 engineering file, and Ethernet settings for client communication with server IEDs.
General Electric IC695ECM850 PACSystems RX3i IEC 61850 Communication Module is available for Apter Power quotation and official-documentation support.

IC695ECM850 Client Services
- IED sessions: The client can maintain connections with multiple compatible IEC 61850 server IEDs.
- Data access: Configured objects may be browsed, read, and written through their logical-device and logical-node paths.
- Controls: Supported IEC 61850 control models are available when the target IED permits the selected operation.
- Reports: Buffered and unbuffered report-by-exception services deliver configured server events to the controller.
IC695ECM850 Controller Prerequisites
- CPU pairing: Use only a supported RX3i CPU and firmware combination for IC695ECM850.
- Engineering tool: PAC Machine Edition 8.00 SIM 7 or later is required for IC695ECM850 configuration.
- Hardware project: The slot, module revision, and CPU firmware must agree with the downloaded RX3i configuration.
- Upgrade review: Recheck the compatibility table whenever either CPU or ECM850 firmware is changed.
IC695ECM850 Diagnostic Layers
- Physical link: Confirm the selected copper or fiber interface reports link at a rate supported by the network equipment.
- Client session: Separate an Ethernet link fault from an IEC 61850 association or authentication failure.
- Data model: A connected IED can still return invalid paths when logical devices, nodes, data sets, or report controls differ from the project.
- Control response: Use the server result and configured control model to investigate rejected operate commands.
IC695ECM850 Project Commissioning
- Source files: Start from the current IED capability and configuration files rather than recreating object names manually.
- Object mapping: Bind the required server data objects and reports to the intended RX3i application variables.
- Network validation: Test each configured IED association before enabling controls or report-dependent logic.
- Controlled test: Exercise reads, writes, reports, and permitted commands while recording the exact CPU and ECM850 firmware levels.
