3.  Application

Wireless Gateway ARG600 can be used in feeder automation
and substation applications to automate distribution networks
in cooperation with other ABB grid automation equipment.
Further, the devices can be used in secondary substations for
various monitoring and control applications.

ARG600 can be used in various industrial applications.

• Enables remote service and maintenance opportunities by

allowing the service personnel to remotely access any type
of field devices. For example, these field devices can
securely report the condition monitoring information,
which allows planning of preventative maintenance.

• Provides a fast, reliable and secure wireless link between

Ethernet devices, such as a COM600 Substation
Management Unit and 615 series protection relays

• Offers backup connectivity for any communication link
• Supports weather monitoring stations, live video

streaming, building automation and smart traffic
management system

• Connects IEC-101, DNP or Modbus RTU protocol based

meters and fault passage indicators into an upper-level
system

Key features

• Protocol converter for IEC-101 to IEC-104 protocol
• Wireless monitoring and control of IEC-101, IEC-104, DNP

and Modbus field devices via cellular network

• Always-on TCP/IP routing and serial over TCP/IP based

two-way communication

• Arctic Patrol connectivity supervision of the

communication system

• Secure communication with VPN and Firewall
• OpenVPN client and server enable direct connection of

one to five Arctic 600 series devices to a single Arctic 600
series device

• Mobile operator independent static IP addressing with

Arctic M2M Gateway ARM600

• Two SIM card slots and a four port LAN/WAN switch (dual

SIM variants only)
