Hardware

Built on an industrial hardware platform, the RIO600 offers the same reliability,

performance and real-time functionality as ABB’s protection and control relays.

The modular design of the RIO600 makes it suitable for use in utility substations and

industrial environments with harsh electrical environments and climatic conditions.

A single RIO600 can have up to 40 I/O channels, and different types of I/O modules

can be stacked together in a completely flexible way to realise a wide range of applications.

The RIO600 subscribes to signals from five devices and publishes signals

to multiple devices depending on the user configuration.

Using the same Ethernet port, the RIO600 can be connected in parallel to

the PCM600 and the web browser via the same communication bus.

RIO600 communications include a current RJ-45 port or fibre optic LC Ethernet

for IEC 61850 GOOSE and Modbus TCP communications.

The RIO600 Web HMI is used for monitoring and diagnostics and 

all parameters can be configured by the user via the PCM600.
