2.2 Installing SAM600

As depicted in Figure 5 and Figure 6, SAM600 modules can be deployed in a variety of
scenarios which optimally suit different installation types.
Physical deployment
• SAM600 modules installed in a single marshalling kiosk in the field (Figure 5a) - All
SAM600 modules are installed in a marshalling kiosk which is placed in the field close to
the primary apparatus. Cabling from the instrument transformers is terminated at the
kiosk and fiber optic is used for communication to protection and control equipment. The
kiosk requires station battery supply for powering the SAM600 modules.
• SAM600 modules installed in several marshalling kiosks (
Figure 5b and Figure 5c) -
SAM600 modules can be deployed in a physically distributed setup and exchange
information over fiber optic communication according to IEC 61850 standard. This
deployment optimizes proximity to primary apparatus.
• SAM600 modules installed in secondary system control and protection panels (
Figure 5d) -
The existing copper cables from primary apparatus can be terminated directly at SAM600
modules mounted in the station panels. This deployment option is ideal for retrofit
projects where copper cabling already exists and is not exchanged in a retrofit project.
Communication architectures
• A SAM600-TS module is optional in a SAM600 system setup, but is necessary for 1PPS
synchronization requirements (
Figure 6a, Figure 6b).
• The SAM600 system bus can be formed as HSR ring. It is possible to use electrical and
optical connections within one ring if the modules are not located in one marshalling kiosk
(
Figure 6b, Figure 6c).
• SAM600-TS modules can be configured to join two physical ports into a redundant access
point according to the PRP or HSR standard (
Figure 6b, Figure 6c).
