Seamless communication with IEC 61850

Relion technology introduces the next step in protection, monitoring and control of power systems. The state-ofthe-art products have inherited their proven algorithms from previous generations of successful ABB IEDs that have now been further developed to meet the latest requirements of the power industry. Relion protection and control IEDs implement the core values of the IEC 61850 standard. These products interoperate with other IEC 61850-compliant IEDs, tools and systems. Their performance meets comprehensive communication tasks, for example, GOOSE messaging for horizontal communication. Additionally, they communicate seamlessly with other suppliers IEC 61850-compliant products at any voltage level. These products also utilize ABBs unique connectivity package concept, which simplifies the IEC 61850 system engineering in ABB systems, and reduces the risks of errors in system integration. This package contains a complete description of the specific IED, consisting of data signals, parameters, addresses and IED documentation. Efficient management of protection and control IEDs The protection and control IED manager PCM600 tool provides versatile functionalities for the entire life-cycle of all Relion protection and control IED applications, at all voltage levels. This easy-to-handle tool helps you manage your protection and control equipment all the way from application and communication configuration to disturbance handling, including automatic disturbance reporting. The user interface, workflow and the IEC 61850based data model in PCM600 are designed according to the same philosophy as the Relion IEDs, ensuring smooth and seamless integration between the tool and the IEDs.
