Operation Manual
When laying the fiber optic cables, make sure to observe the
permissible bending radius and follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
Each SAM600 module has two SFP (small form factor pluggable) cages, which
can be equipped with optical SFP modules. Only use the approved SFP modules in
order to avoid malfunctioning. Use approved SFP modules listed in Accessory list
(1MRK 511 436-UEN).
Depending on the number of IEC 61850 access points required for the application
and for connecting the SAM600 system bus, insert the required number of SFP
modules in the SFP cages of a SAM600 module.
When inserting, ensure that the SFP modules are locked with the
cage in order to ensure proper functioning.
SAM600-TS modules have two additional LC connections (X106, X107) which
can be used as additional IEC 61850 access points.
Do not use Ethernet ports X106 and X107 of a SAM600-TS module
as SAM600 system bus ports. This is a configuration setting which
is prevented by PCM600.
SFP modules meet Class I Laser safety requirements per IEC-
60825-1 standard. Do not stare into the beam or view the beam
directly with optical instruments. Failure to observe this warning
could result in an eye injury or blindness.
Connecting 1PPS time sync interface
Depending on the application, a SAM600 system can be setup to run as a free-
running system or require an external 1PPS signal from a time master or another
merging unit. If an external 1PPS synchronization is required, use port X300 on
SAM600-TS to connect a 1PPS signal.
SAM600-TS provides five 1PPS outputs, which can be used to synchronize bay
level protection and control devices, or 3
rd
party merging units, such as the ABB
FOCS. The connectors X301-X305 on SAM600-TS provide a synchronized 1PPS
output signal.
PPS output connectors X301-X305 meet Class I Laser safety
requirements per IEC-60825-1 standard. Do not stare into the beam
or view the beam directly with optical instruments. Failure to
observe this warning could result in an eye injury or blindness.
