The 615 series protection relays together with the
Substation Management Unit COM600F constitute
a genuine IEC 61850 solution for reliable power dis-
tribution in utility and industrial power systems. To
facilitate the system engineering, ABB's relays are
supplied with connectivity packages. The connec-
tivity packages include a compilation of software
and relay-specific information, including single-line
diagram templates and a full relay data model. The
data model includes event and parameter lists.
With the connectivity packages, the relays can be
readily configured using PCM600 and integrated
with COM600F or the network control and manage-
ment system MicroSCADA Pro.
The 615 series relays offer native support for IEC
61850 Edition 2 also including binary and analog
bus with the sending of sampled values of analog
currents and voltages and the receiving of sampled
values of voltages is supported. Compared to tradi-
tional hard-wired, inter-device signaling, peer-to-
peer communication over a switched Ethernet LAN
offers an advanced and versatile platform for
power system protection. Among the distinctive
features of the protection system approach, en-
abled by the full implementation of the IEC 61850
substation automation standard, are fast commu-
nication capability, continuous supervision of the
protection and communication system's integrity,
and an inherent flexibility regarding reconfigura-
tion and upgrades.This protection relay series is
able to optimally utilize interoperability provided
by the IEC 61850 Edition 2 features.
At substation level, COM600F uses the data con-
tent of the baylevel devices to enhance substation
level functionality. COM600F features a Web
browser-based HMI, which provides a customizable
graphical display for visualizing single-line mimic
diagrams for switchgear bay solutions. The SLD
feature is especially useful when 615 series relays
without the optional single-line diagram feature
are used. The Web HMI of COM600F also provides
an overview of the whole substation, including re-
lay-specific single-line diagrams, which makes in-
formation easily accessible. Substation devices and
processes can also be remotely accessed through
the Web HMI, which improves personnel safety.
In addition, COM600F can be used as a local data
warehouse for the substation's technical documen-
tation and for the network data collected by the de-
vices. The collected network data facilitates exten-
sive reporting and analyzing of network fault
situations by using the data historian and event
handling features of COM600S. The historical data
can be used for accurate monitoring of process and
equipment performance, using calculations based
on both real-time and historical values. A better un-
derstanding of the process dynamics is achieved by
combining time-based process measurements with
production and maintenance events.
COM600F can also function as a gateway and pro-
vide seamless connectivity between the substation
devices and network-level control and management
systems, such as MicroSCADA Pro and System
