Introduction

General about the COM600 series

The COM600 series comprises of substation management units that are deployed together
with protection and control relays and other communication devices, such as Relion
protection and control relays and Remote I/O units, to realize smart substation and grid
automation solutions in utility and industrial medium voltage distribution networks. They
are a unique combination of following features:
•
Process visualization (HMI)
•
Real-time and historical data handling
• Platform for executing industrial and utility substation applications
• Communication gateway
The COM600 series 4.1 release comprises of the following products:
• COM600S – COM600 for substation automation(for IEC and ANSI markets)
• COM600S is a substation automation and data management unit that integrates
devices, facilitates operations and manages communication in utility or industrial
distribution substations.
• COM600F – COM600 for feeder automation (for ANSI/US markets only)
•
COM600F is a feeder automation and data management unit that runs distributed
grid applications in ANSI standard-based utility power networks.

Overview of FDIR

FDIR on COM600 provides a feeder automation function for radial distribution networks.
It gathers data from protection and control IEDs and runs a fault detection, fault isolation
and load restoration (FDIR) algorithm on Logic Processor to realize automatic fault
restoration.
When a fault happens in the network, FDIR on COM600 detects the location of the fault
and issues switch operation commands to isolate faulty sections from the network and
to restore the electricity to the healthy sections. It also sends commands to IEDs con-
trolling the switches to return to the normal pre-fault condition when a fault has been
cleared.
