Introduction

General about the COM600 series

The COM600 series comprises of substation management units that are deployed together
with protection and control relays and other communication devices, such as Relion®
protection and control relays and Remote I/O units, to realize smart substation and grid
automation solutions in utility and industrial medium voltage distribution networks. They
are a unique combination of following features:
•
Process visualization (HMI)
•
Real-time and historical data handling
• Platform for executing industrial and utility substation applications
• Communication gateway
The COM600 series 4.1 release comprises of the following products:
• COM600S – COM600 for substation automation(for IEC and ANSI markets)
• COM600S is a substation automation and data management unit that integrates
devices, facilitates operations and manages communication in utility or industrial
distribution substations.
• COM600F – COM600 for feeder automation (for ANSI/US markets only)
•
COM600F is a feeder automation and data management unit that runs distributed
grid applications in ANSI standard-based utility power networks.

COM600 series products and rationale

The COM600 series is an essential and versatile component in realizing smart substation
automation solutions, together with protection and control IEDs and other communicable
devices, in utility and industrial distribution networks.
They form the building blocks for ABB's smart substation solutions, together with
Relion® protection and control and Remote IO IED series. They are a unique combination
of following features:
• Process visualization (HMI)
• Real-time and historical data handling
• Platform for executing industrial and utility substation applications
• Communication gateway
To facilitate different solutions and also to optimize the performance of the COM600
series, it is most appropriate to consider a discrete product based approach similar to the
protection and control IEDs (for general feeders, generators, transformers, motors,
capacitor banks etc.).
