COM600F is a dedicated distribution automation controller unit that runs dis-
tributed grid and feeder applications for ANSI power networks and inherits all
core features of the COM600 series.

Functional overview

The COM600 supports multiple master communication protocols by which it exchanges
data with field devices such as protection and control IEDs, meters or other devices such
station controllers, Ethernet switches and WebHMIs. The data communication can be
accomplished using Ethernet or serial interfaces such as RS 232 or RS 485. The following
master protocols are supported by the COM600:
1. Ethernet-based protocols
• IEC 61850-8-1
•
IEC 60870-5-104
•
DNP 3.0 LAN/WAN
•
Modbus
• OPC
• SNMP
2. Serial interface-based protocols
• IEC 60870-5-101
• IEC 60870-5-103
• DNP 3.0 Serial
• Modbus
•
SPA
The COM600 converts all field data, acquired using above communication protocols,
into OPC. An OPC server is dedicated to every supported protocol. This OPC server
enables other OPC clients (internal) to access process data from slave devices.
This manual specifically covers the above listed Ethernet based master protocols.
