Self-supervision

RIO600 has built-in self-supervision feature which

continuously monitors the state of the RIO600

hardware and the operation of the software. Any

fault or malfunction detected is used for alerting

the operator. The dedicated LED is provided to

indicate the failure. RIO600 self-supervision status

is also distributed to the IEC 61850 station bus as

one data entry in the published GOOSE frame.

One of the output contact of DO module can also

be configured to indicate the status of RIO600.

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.
