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

COM600 supports multiple slave communication protocols by which it exchanges data
with field devices such as protection and control IEDs, meters or other devices such as
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
slave 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
2. Serial interface-based protocols
• IEC 60870-5-101
• DNP 3.0 Serial
• Modbus
COM600 converts all field data, acquired using the communication protocols listed
above, 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 slave protocols.
