6. Communication

The Wireless Controllers REC601/603 have
wireless functionality that allows the use of
wireless applications within the customer defined
operator's network. When a high-speed wireless
data transfer speed is needed it can be
supported, 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 Controllers REC601/603 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 Controllers
REC601/603 conventional IEC 60870-5-101
devices can be attached to a 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
