Requirements

To ensure correct and safe operation of the relays, it is recommended that preventive

maintenance be carried out every five years on relays operating under specified conditions;

See table 4.1.-1 and section 5.2.4. Technical Data.

When used for real-time clock or logging data functions, the batteries should be replaced every five years.

Configuration

By appropriately configuring the output contact matrix, signals from the protection

level can be used as contact functions. The start signals can be used for

for blocking cooperating relays and for signaling.

The following figure shows the default configuration of the relay: all trip signals are routed to trip the circuit breaker.

In the first example in Figure 4.2.-1. the residual current is measured by

the iron core balancing current transformer and the output contacts are connected to enable the automatic reclosing function.

In the second example in Figure 4.2.-2. the residual current is measured through

the trimming connection of the phase current transformer and the output contacts are connected

to enable the trip lockout function with an external reset switch.

Applications

The REF610 is a multifunctional relay designed primarily for the protection

of incoming and outgoing lines in medium voltage distribution substations.

In industrial and utility applications, the relay can also be used as backup protection for motors,

transformers and generators.

The relay incorporates a number of protection features including three levels of overcurrent protection,

two levels of non-directional ground fault protection and thermal protection to provide comprehensive

overcurrent and ground fault protection.

An optional arc protection function can be used to detect arcing conditions in air-insulated metal-clad

switchgear,and an automatic reclosing function can be used to automatically clear overhead line faults.

These features further expand the range of applications for the relays.

The large number of digital input and output contacts allows a wide range of applications.

Overview

TIM foils or otherwise known as graphite sheet have been introduced in use in ACS800 mod

ules using EconoPACK+ IGBT as part of normal continuous improvements in the ACS800

product family. Benefits of using TIM foils in comparison to thermal grease are easier installa

tion and more durable heat transferring properties for longer periods of time. Durability par

ticularly improved in a cyclic application.

Where and how to use

TIM foils are used to transfer the heat generated in the IGBT’s to the heatsink. Full instruc

tions on how to install TIM foils is described in document delivered with TIM IGBT spare part

kits. It’s possible to use a mix of IGBT’s with thermal grease and TIM foils. In parallel con

nected R8i modules it’s also possible to use a mix of modules using TIM foils and thermal grease.

places where the user doesn’t want to have to modify

the existing control code for Rockwell Drives. The AOIs

and UDTs are already setup to mimic the existing control

with the newly created ABB tags and the existing RSLogix

5000 code will control the ABB drive seamlessly. Built in

Modbus RTU to Modbus conversion

Modbus field devices use usually serial mode (RTU or ASCII)

protocol while the SCADA communication uses TCP/IP based

Modbus TCP protocol. The Modbus user community has

defined the functionality for required protocol integration, that

is, how the Modbus RTU devices can talk to the Modbus TCP

SCADA system. This functionality is a protocol conversion

and it is implemented in ARC600. Many industrial devices like

PLCs and RTUs support RS-485 Modbus RTU mode. In

RS-485 mode, ARC600 can integrate unlimited number of

serial slaves to TCP/IP network (SCADA).

ARC600 has two application serial ports. Serial port 1 is

configurable to either console or data mode and it supports

only RS-232. while serial port 2 is configurable to multiple

serial modes (RS-232/RS-422/RS-485). Serial port

connectors are 9-pin D-sub (male) connectors.

Modbus to IEC-104 conversion

ARC600 provides support for generic Modbus RTU and

Modbus TCP devices such as ABB’s RIO600. In addition,

support is also provided for the preselected Modbus

parameters for Fault Passage Indicators (FPI). Currently,

Horstmann Compass B and Kries IKI-50 are supported.

ARC600 polls the fault indicator devices, connected to the

serial port, using Modbus protocol and converts the values to

IEC 60870-5-104. Up to four fault indicators can be

connected to one device. IEC 60870-5-104 is used to

communicate towards a SCADA via the Arctic M2M Gateway

over the available customer chosen cellular data network.

IEC-101 to IEC-104 conversion

With ARC600. conventional IEC 60870-101 serial devices can

be attached to a modern TCP/IP based IEC 60870-5-104

control system. This is enabled by the protocol conversion

from IEC 60870-5-101 to IEC 60870-104. In this case,

ARC600 (IEC-101 master) uses local synchronous data

polling where it continuously sends requests and the IEC-101

device (IEC-101 slave) responds. In the direction of the

control room, the communication protocol is IEC-104 and

ARC600 can send events asynchronously as they arise while

SCADA performs only slow-period background scans.

Another advantage of the local protocol conversion is an

advanced data acknowledgement mechanism. IEC-104

allows multiple packets, and multiple events in a single

packet, to be acknowledged collectively and the packets can

be buffered up to the time of acknowledgement from SCADA.
