Communication

RIO600 supports the horizontal GOOSE

communication of the IEC 61850 substation

automation standard.

RIO600 is designed to send and receive binary

signals to or from the ABB Relion® series IEDs

and the station automation device COM600 using

the IEC 61850-8-1 GOOSE (Generic Object

Oriented Substation Event) profile.

RIO600 communication module includes a

galvanic Ethernet RJ-45 port for IEC 61850

GOOSE communication. The used cable type

must be at least Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) CAT5e.

Using the same Ethernet port, RIO600 can be

connected in parallel to PCM600 and a Web

browser over the same communication bus.

Indication LEDs

RIO600 is equipped with different indication LEDs

available on different modules.

•Ready LED on all modules

•Status indication LED for each binary input and output

•Communication diagnostic LED on the communication module
