Binary Input/Output (I/O) terminal
with IEC 61850 interface
Compact and easy – ISIO 200
Put your Binary I/Os where you need them
ISIO 200 is a simple and versatile binary I/O terminal with IEC 61850 interface. For
communicating with CMC test sets and real-time message exchange with peer
devices, the fast GOOSE messaging is used. By using Client/Server communica-
tion, ISIO 200 can be integrated into Substation Automation Systems (SAS) and
communicate to a station controller.
In combination with a CMC test set, ISIO 200 extends the binary I/O capability of
the test system. As a component of an SAS, it handles additional binary signals.
Due to its compact design, binary I/O terminals can be put wherever necessary.
ISIO 200 is configured via a built-in web interface and needs no special configura-
tion software to be installed on your computer. Configuration files can be
exported from the device in the standardized SCL format.
To simplify handling and minimize wiring efforts, ISIO 200 is supplied with Power
over Ethernet (PoE). No dedicated power supply is required.

Fields of application
The ISIO 200 serves multiple applications in substation automation systems.
Depending on whether the device is used for testing purposes (often together with a CMC test set) or in regular SAS opera-
tion, they are divided in two categories:

Fields of application
Testing in Substation Automation Systems with CMC test sets
Test setups in SAS often require bridging of long distances or an extension of the CMC’s
binary I/O capabilities.
The ISIO 200 can be used as accessory for the CMC to increase the number of binary I/Os
of the test system. The accessory can be configured easily using the Test Universe ISIO
Connect module.1 The CMC and ISIO 200 communicate via GOOSE messages. This allows
distances to be bridged up to dozens of meters with an Ethernet cable.

protection and telecommunication, the setup can easily get GOOSE

2 Access to remote binary I/O terminals
Connecting to binary I/Os that are more than just a few
meters away from the test set is often cumbersome.
The ISIO 200 can be conveniently placed close to remote
access points to keep the conventional wiring as short as
possible. The longer distance to the test set is simply bridged
with an Ethernet cable.
3 Permanently installed test terminal
The binary I/Os of a protection relay are permanently wired
to an ISIO 200. For testing, the binary wiring of the test set
is reduced to connecting the Ethernet cable. The ISIO 200
becomes powered as soon as it is connected to the CMC.

Operating ISIO 200 in Substation Automation Systems
Use the device to simply add binary I/Os in your SAS or for forwarding binary I/Os over
Ethernet by connecting two ISIO 200 units back-to-back.
ISIO 200 communicates via the fast and robust IEC 61850 GOOSE protocol and, therefore,
interoperates with a wide range of substation automation devices.
