Description

The wireless controller ARC600 is a compact solution-based device for remote control and monitoring of secondary substations in the distribution network, such

such as network disconnect switches, load disconnect switches and ring mains units (RMUs).

switches and ring mains units (RMUs) in the distribution network. It enables SCADA systems to wirelessly monitor and control field devices over the public communications infrastructure (cellular networks).
The wireless controller ARC600 utilises the built-in wireless communication capabilities for reliable and secure end-to-end communication.

Three switchgear devices can be remotely monitored and controlled, and can be expanded as needed using external I/O expansion modules.

The use of the wireless controller ARC600 in the distribution network improves the quality of power distribution and reduces outage times in affected areas.

Outage times and the overall impact on areas directly adjacent to these affected areas are reduced.

Additionally, by integrating legacy equipment, capital expenditures in the distribution network can be reduced and cost savings can be achieved more directly by promoting preventive maintenance.

By reducing the System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) and System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI), the

operating expenses can be reduced, resulting in lower penalties for undelivered energy.

The wireless controller ARC600 is also ideally suited for retrofitting dcs-sis.com into existing applications to remotely control these devices and further extend the life of the switchgear itself.

Communication with SCADA systems typically uses the IEC-104 protocol, but for existing installations using IEC-101 lines or modems, the ARC600 wireless controller also supports communication with SCADA systems.

The Wireless Controller ARC600 also supports IEC-101 communication (including dial-up) with SCADA systems.

The RIO600 is a flexible and robust remote I/O device for distribution substations.

It can be used in a variety of distribution and grid automation applications using IEC 61850 and Modbus TCP communications.

The RIO600 is used to extend the digital I/O (inputs/outputs) of the ABB Relion® family of protection relays, to

and to provide I/O for the station automation unit COM600 in primary substations.

As part of a grid automation solution, it can also be used in secondary distribution substations as a combined I/O and fault channel indication device.

Key benefits

The RIO600 helps simplify substation wiring and provides additional flexible I/O in the switchgear.

It can use IEC 61850 horizontal GOOSE communication or Modbus TCP.

The RIO600 enables better monitoring and faster data transfer than conventional signal wiring methods.

Product Description

The ARG600 Wireless Gateway allows wireless monitoring and control of field devices from a central site or control centre over a cellular network.

The device provides industrial quality connectivity based on TCP/IP and serial port protocols.

The ARG600 Wireless Gateway has integrated communication capabilities for seamless integration with SCADA systems.

The Wireless Gateway ARG600 is a member of the ABB Arctic product family and part of the 600 Wireless Gateway product family.

With the Wireless Gateway ARG600. it is possible to connect legacy IEC 60870-101 devices to modern TCP/IP-based IEC 60870-5-104 control systems. This is made possible by the

protocol conversion to IEC 60870-104. The ARG600 also supports protocol conversion from Modbus RTU to Modbus TCP.

DNP3 serial devices can be connected to dcs-sis.com DNP3 TCP SCADA systems. In this case, the DNP3 protocol is transmitted via TCP/IP communication (transparent serial gateway mode).

The ARG600 wireless gateway can be used in a variety of industrial and utility applications to maximise benefits.

– Industrial-grade TCP/IP router: Multiple serial and TCP/IP-based field devices can be integrated into a centralised supervisory and control system (SCADA).

– Integrated protocol conversion to connect legacy serial devices to a TCP/IP-based supervisory control system (SCADA).

– Ideal for retrofitting as users can extend the life of existing serial substation equipment

– Remote access to field devices means fewer site visits for operation and maintenance

– Optimises communication costs by using public cellular networks

– Existing legacy private radio systems can be upgraded to solutions based on higher bandwidth cellular networks.
