4. Communication

The Wireless Gateways RER601/603 have wireless
functionality that allows the use of wireless applications within
the customer defined operator's network. High-speed
wireless data transfer speed can be supported if needed,
however the practical data transfer rates depend on the
subscription details and wireless network capacity and
bandwidth.
Operating within these wireless networks (GPRS/GSM) the
Wireless Gateways RER601/603 may utilize the supported
communication protocols. This offers flexibility in system
design, allowing users to develop solutions for their own
applications with high data availability and reliability. The
devices are designed to withstand the operational
requirements of most secondary substation environments and
offer industrial quality connectivity devices for the IEC 60870
protocol family. The IEC 60870 protocol family is a vendor-
independent communication standard for the power
distribution industry.
Additionally, with the Wireless Gateways RER601/603
conventional IEC 60870-5-101 devices can be attached to a
8
2
modern TCP/IP based IEC 60870-5-104 control system.
Ethernet and GPRS/GSM data network interfaces provide a
seamless communication solution for most of the applications.
IEC 60870-5-104 is used to communicate towards a SCADA
via an approved M2M Gateway (available from ABB) over the
available customer chosen GPRS/GSM data network. In the
opposite direction IEC 60870-5-101 can be used to
communicate with the devices in the field via the serial ports.
This communication can also be done using the Ethernet port
and a RJ-45 cable between the controlled device and the
Wireless Gateways RER601/603.
The Wireless Gateways RER601/603 have two application
serial ports. Serial port 1 is configurable to either console or
data mode and supports only RS-232, while serial port 2 is
configurable to multiple serial modes (RS-232/422/485).
Serial port connectors are 9-pin D-sub (male) connectors.
