Overview

SYS 600C provides innovative solutions for different tasks and operations in the power
automation process, from Communication Gateway functionality to full-fledged redundant
control system applications. SYS 600C is a solid-state computer utilizing information
distributed in different locations and hence enabled for a large variety of tasks. SYS
600C is suitable in, for example, Substation Automation Systems for both Utility and
Traction applications, as well as in Process Industries with distributed Intelligent
Electronic Devices (IEDs). SYS 600C is also designed to be used as a Communication
Server in medium and large Remote Control Systems (SCADA).
SYS 600C is designed as an open system, which complies with all widely used
communication standards. In addition, it supports the implementation of project-speci c
monitoring, control, and automation tasks in the eld of Substation Automation and
Power Automation. The SYS 600C Human System Interface provides an intuitive and
easy-to-use user interface for ef cient and safe operator actions.
The consistent use of known technologies and intuitive user interfaces ensures an easy
entry level for new SYS 600C users.

Fields of application

SYS 600C is designed to be used in a wide range of applications in both Electrical
Utilities and Industries.
When using SYS 600C in substations, the main application is as a Communication
Gateway to the upper level system or it is used as a powerful Control System HSI. The
two can also be combined in the same SYS 600C system and forms hence a combined
Communication Gateway with Control System HSI. SYS 600C can be used in any type
of substation.
In large substations and in medium- and large-sized remote control systems, SYS 600C,
thanks to the large amount of communication ports, is an unbeatable Communication
Server solution (also known as a front-end computer).
SYS 600C ts also well into various types of control applications, especially where a
solid-state type of computer is required and different kinds of distributed Intelligent
Electronic Devices (IEDs) together with other type of bay devices (RTU) are to be
connected to the system. Connections to process automation systems are well supported
in SYS 600C thanks to OPC server and client integration.
