SIPROTEC 6MD86

The SIPROTEC 6MD86 bay controller is a universal control and automation device that provides protection function. It is designed for use in all voltage levels, from distribution to transmission.

Its hardware and IO quantity structure can be adapted to your requirements to enable future-oriented solutions for protection, control, automation, monitoring, and Power Quality (PQ) basic.

Basic Features

  • Integrated bay controller with versatile protection function from medium to extra-high voltage
  • Provides control of switching devices
  • Synchrocheck, switchgear interlocking protection, and switch-related protection functions (e.g. circuit-breaker failure protection and automatic reclosing)
  • Up to 4 pluggable communication modules, usable for different and redundant protocols (IEC 61850-8-1, IEC 61850-9-2 Client, IEC 60870-5-103, IEC 60870-5-104, Modbus TCP, DNP3 serial and TCP, PROFINET I/O, and PROFINET I/O S2 redundancy)
  • Reliable data transmission via PRP and HSR redundancy protocols
  • Extensive cybersecurity functionality (e.g. as role-based access control (RBAC), protocolling security-related events, signed firmware or authenticated network access IEEE 802.1X)
  • Provides simple, quick and secure access to the device data via a standard Web browser to display all information, diagnostic data, vector diagrams, single-line diagrams, and device display pages
  • Arc protection
  • Optional overcurrent protection with 3-pole tripping
  • Also used in switchgear with breaker-and-a-half configuration
  • Overcurrent protection also configurable as emergency function
  • Captures operational measured variables and protection function measured values for evaluation of the plant state to support commissioning and analyze faults
  • Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) for synchrophasor measured values and IEEE C37.118 protocol integrated
  • Enables powerful fault recording (buffer for a max. record time of 80 sec. at 8 kHz or 320 sec. at 2 kHz)
  • Point-on-Wave Switching (PoW)
  • Flexible adjustment of I/O quantity structure within the scope of the SIPROTEC 5 modular system
