COM600 Station Automation

COM600, the station automation device of ABB, is an all-in-one communication gateway, automation platform and user interface solution for utility and industrial distribution substations. The gateway functionality provides connectivity between substation IEDs and network-level control and management systems. The automation platform with its logic processor makes COM600 a flexible implementation platform for substation-level automation tasks. As a user interface solution COM600 accommodates web technology based functionalities providing access to substation devices and processes via a web browser based human machine interface (HMI).
