1. Description
RIO600 is designed to expand the digital I/O of
ABB’s Relion® series IEDs and to provide I/O for
the station automation device COM600 using the
IEC 61850 communication. RIO600 allows
maximum I/O flexibility and provides a seamless
IEC 61850 connectivity between the substation
binary input and output signals with IEDs ensuring
improved functionality and performance.
RIO600 helps in simplifying and decreasing the
wiring inside the substation. The fully hardwired
traditional medium voltage switchgear /
substation control and protection system contains
a centralized rack room approach resulting in
extensive I/O wiring, connecting devices for
signalling between the switchgear base and
signalling to and from the external systems for
example, to the RTU or other higher level
automation systems.
RIO600 provides an additional I/O within the
switchgear itself, by using the Ethernet-based IEC
61850 horizontal GOOSE communication. The
signals can be transmitted within the switchgear
and to the higher level automation systems.
Similarly, signals from the upper level automation
systems can be executed through RIO600
connected to numerical IEDs.
2. Design
RIO600 is built on the industrial hardware
platform which provides the same reliability,
performance, and real-time functionality as ABB
protection IEDs, withstanding extreme
temperatures, electromagnetic interference and
stringent industry standards.
