IEC 61850 MMXU Module

The IEC 61850 MMXU Module represents the Measurement (MMXU) Logical Node in IEC 61850 protocol.

Overview

It maps the appropriate ION values to their IEC 61850 counterparts. The MMXU Logical Node provides per-phase and total current, voltage and power flows normally used for operational purposes such as power flow supervision and management, measurement displays, state estimation, etc. Only one instance of this module can exist. Because this module is specific to supporting the IEC 61850 protocol, it can be deleted if IEC 61850 is not required.

For more information about IEC 61850, please refer to the IEC 61850 and ION Technology technical note.

NOTE: This module is configured as part of the meter’s implementation of the IEC 61850 protocol. Manual creation and configuration of this module, or modification of an existing module, is an advanced feature that should only be undertaken by personnel with a thorough understanding of ION and IEC 61850 protocols, and the system in which the meter is installed.

NOTE: The registers and settings available in this module depend on the device or node you are configuring, as well as its firmware and template versions. Not all registers or settings are available on all devices or the Virtual Processor, and labels may vary.

Inputs

NOTE: If input registers are changed, the new inputs must have the same units of measure as the original input.

By default, the MMXU Module inputs are the outputs from the Power Meter module.
