2. Application

COM600 provides gateway functions for map-
ping signals between protection and control
IEDs in industrial or utility substations and
higher-level systems. It further includes
an optional HMI that provides data and
information from the substation to the users.
COM600 gathers data from protection and
control IEDs and from process devices
using different communication protocols.
The supported protocols can be combined
freely in one station computer, limited only
by the number of hardware interfaces and
the license. COM600 uses web technology
to display data to different users in a
professional and user-friendly manner. The
optional slave protocols enable the transfer
of information to a network control centre
(NCC) or distributed control system (DCS).
COM600 benefits from the potential of the
IEC 61850 standard by using the IEC 61850-
6 substation configuration language (SCL)

and IEC 61850 -7 communications modeling
regardless of protocol used. As the IEC 61850
data modeling is used for all communication
protocols the gateway cross-reference is done
in the same way regardless of the protocol,
for example IEC 61850-8-1 or DNP3.
COM600 can by using the optional web HMI
(requires Mozilla Firefox
Chrome or Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE)
with Adobe SVG viewer 3.03, if IE 9.0 or later
is in use Adobe SVG viewer is not needed)
be used for efficient substation visualization,
monitoring and control. Measured values
from process devices are displayed on the
HMI. Single-line diagrams can be used to
view any available measured values from the
process devices.
All primary single-line diagram (SLD)
devices are displayed in one screen. The
SLD recognizes different voltage levels and
different busbar systems such as single
busbar, double busbar and duplex systems.
The four-mode busbar coloring visualizes the
busbar status. The coloring of the busbar is
user configurable.
