Microprocessor based electrical systems depend on standardized communication protocols and hardware interfaces to support coordination, protection, and monitoring in automated environments. Protocols such as IEC 61850, IEC 103, IEC 104, Modbus, TCP/IP, and PROFINET enable system level communication between protective devices, control systems, and supervisory platforms. This training program presents structured frameworks on protocol functions, device integration, and networking architecture. It also covers interface models and diagnostic tools that support performance reliability and data integrity.
