Overview
M2M Gateway ARM600 is a member of ABB’s Arctic product family. ARM600 is a
communication server, a VPN concentrator and firewall and is typically placed in the
same location as the central control and monitoring system, such as SCADA.
ARM600 manages all Arctic 600 series wireless gateway connections and is the main
interface between the field devices and central control and monitoring system.
ARM600 includes the Arctic Patrol application for condition monitoring and
centralized device management. Centralized device management is essential to
ensure the network operability in large-scale or geographically dispersed
communication systems.
ARM600 provides static IP addressing for the central control and monitoring system.
This means that the Arctic 600 series wireless gateways in remote locations can utilize
normal SIM cards with dynamic IP addresses from any operator. This allows the user
to utilize different operators depending on the coverage and pricing. Both standard
(public) and private APN type SIM cards can be used in this communication system.
ARM600 is typically part of a complete communication system which consists of
Arctic 600 series wireless gateways and a central Arctic M2M Gateway ARM600
communication server. ARM600 is an essential part of the total communication
solution. The communication solution is application independent, that is, any type of
remote application can be connected to any type of centralized control and monitoring
application.
