The 615 series protection relays together with the Substation
Management Unit COM600S constitute a genuine IEC 61850
solution for reliable power distribution in utility and industrial
power systems. To facilitate the system engineering, ABB's
relays are supplied with connectivity packages. The
connectivity packages include a compilation of software and
relay-specific information, including single-line diagram
templates and a full relay data model. The data model includes
event and parameter lists. With the connectivity packages, the
relays can be readily configured using PCM600 and integrated
with COM600S or the network control and management
system MicroSCADA Pro.

The 615 series relays offer native support for IEC 61850 Edition
2 also including binary and analog horizontal GOOSE
messaging. In addition, process bus with the sending of
sampled values of analog currents and voltages and the
receiving of sampled values of voltages is supported.
Compared to traditional hard-wired, inter-device signaling,
peer-to-peer communication over a switched Ethernet LAN
offers an advanced and versatile platform for power system
protection. Among the distinctive features of the protection
system approach, enabled by the full implementation of the IEC
61850 substation automation standard, are fast
communication capability, continuous supervision of the
protection and communication system's integrity, and an
inherent flexibility regarding reconfiguration and upgrades.This
protection relay series is able to optimally utilize interoperability
provided by the IEC 61850 Edition 2 features.

At substation level, COM600S uses the data content of the bay-
level devices to enhance substation level functionality.

COM600S features a Web browser-based HMI, which provides
a customizable graphical display for visualizing single-line
mimic diagrams for switchgear bay solutions. The SLD feature
is especially useful when 615 series relays without the optional
single-line diagram feature are used. The Web HMI of
COM600S also provides an overview of the whole substation,
including relay-specific single-line diagrams, which makes
information easily accessible. Substation devices and
processes can also be remotely accessed through the Web
HMI, which improves personnel safety.

In addition, COM600S can be used as a local data warehouse
for the substation's technical documentation and for the
network data collected by the devices. The collected network
data facilitates extensive reporting and analyzing of network
fault situations by using the data historian and event handling
features of COM600S. The historical data can be used for
accurate monitoring of process and equipment performance,
using calculations based on both real-time and historical
values. A better understanding of the process dynamics is
achieved by combining time-based process measurements
with production and maintenance events.

COM600S can also function as a gateway and provide
seamless connectivity between the substation devices and
network-level control and management systems, such as
MicroSCADA Pro and System 800xA.

GOOSE Analyzer interface in COM600S enables the following
and analyzing the horizontal IEC 61850 application during
commissioning and operation at station level. It logs all GOOSE
events during substation operation to enable improved system
supervision.
