Communication system overview and IEC-101 to IEC-104 protocol conversion example with Wireless Protocol Gateway ARP600 and
remote terminal unit (RTU)
3. Application
Wireless Protocol Gateway ARP600 can be used in feeder
automation and substation applications to automate
distribution networks in cooperation with other ABB grid
automation equipment. Further, the devices can be used in
secondary substations for various monitoring and control
applications.
ARP600 can also be used in various industrial applications.
• Connecting IEC-101 or Modbus RTU protocol based
meters and fault passage indicators into an upper-level
system
• Enables remote service and maintenance opportunities by
allowing service personnel to remotely access any type of
field devices. For example, these field devices can
securely report the condition monitoring information,
which allows planning of preventative maintenance.
• Provides a fast, reliable and secure wireless link between
Ethernet devices, such as COM600 Substation
Management Unit and 615 series protection relays
• Backup connectivity for any communication link
Key features
• Wireless monitoring and control of IEC-101, IEC-104 and
Modbus field devices via cellular network
• Protocol converter for multiple communication protocols
• Enables always-on TCP/IP routing and serial over TCP/IP
based two-way communication
• Arctic Patrol connectivity supervision of the
communication
• Secure communication maintained with VPN and Firewall
