3.5
Localization
It is possible to translate the user interface to any language that fits into the boundaries
of the graphical user interface, that is, size, position, and direction of texts and icons.
The system also supports several languages simultaneously enabling operators to work
with the system in their native language. The language is part of the user profile and is
selected automatically while logging into the system.
3.6
Time synchronization
SYS 600C can be synchronized by an external GPS clock. This is typically done using
SNTP over the local area network or through a serial port using a protocol provided by
the clock manufacturer. It is also possible to add a PCI card into the computer to retrieve
the clock signal. The IEC 61850 client of SYS 600C includes an SNTP client that can
be used to set the system clock. SYS 600C can also be synchronized by the Network
Control System over a remote communication protocol.
SYS 600C can also be used as a clock master for the connected IEDs according to the
used protocol.

Redundancy
3.7.1
System redundancy
The availability of a SYS 600C system can be further improved by redundant servers
configured in a hot stand-by mode (HSB). In this configuration, one computer is active
and receives and processes all data from the process. It also manages the displays and
provides data for the displays. At the same time, all process data and configuration data
is shadowed over to the stand-by computer. The stand-by computer is in the same state
as the active one. If the active computer breaks down, the stand-by computer takes over
the process communication and continues to manage the process. In this way, the process
can be operated and supervised even if one of the computers fails.
3.7.2
Communication redundancy
Redundant communication lines mean that two or several connections between the master
and the slave form a logical connection. One of the connections is active and if the active
connection fails, another connection is used instead.
Redundant communication lines are supported for IEC 60870-7-101 slave, RP-570 slave,
and IEC 60870-7-104 master and slave protocols.
Redundant LAN connections are supported for, for example, IEC 61850 communication
using dual LAN connections according to IEC 62439/PRP. See SYS 600 IEC 61850
System Design for details.
