Wireless I/O Gateway
ARR600
Product version: A

3. Application

Wireless I/O Gateway ARR600 can be used in the feeder
automation and substation applications to automate
distribution network in cooperation with the other ABB grid
automation equipment. Further, the devices can be used in
secondary substations for monitoring of transformers as well as
other monitoring and control applications.
ARR600 can be used in various industrial applications.
• Generic remote I/O interface for an upper-level system, for
example, for directly controlling a load-break switch
• Connecting IEC-101 or Modbus RTU protocol based
meters and fault passage indicators into an upper-level
system
• Providing a fast, reliable and secure wireless link between
Ethernet devices, such as COM600 Substation
Management Unit and 615 series protection relays
• Enables remote service and maintenance opportunities by
allowing the service personnel to remotely access any type
