Introduction

Product overview

Product functionalities
Station Computer COM615 acts both as an embedded communication gateway between
substation automation protection and control devices and Network Control Centers
(NCC), and allows easy access to the protection and control devices of a substation either
locally or remotely with the HMI functionality.
COM615 uses an embedded operating system and runs in a dedicated industrial computer
without moving parts.
The products are configured using a separate engineering PC that is connected via the
local area network (LAN). For more information, refer to COM600 User's Guide.
Gateway functionality
The gateway functionality provides a framework that enables the use of OPC server and
client components, such as OPC Client for IEC 60870-5-101 and OPC Server for LON
LAG 1.4. This manual presents the principles that are common to the protocols available
at the moment as well as to those that will be applicable in the future. For protocol specific
information, refer to the respective client and server user's guides.
An overview of a typical system is shown in Figure 2.1-1.
