Efficiencies in system integration and testing

As today’s power networks grow in complexity, it has becoming significantly more difficult Substation automation tools
to design, implement and maintain your power systems. It is our aim at ABB to support the
development and growth of your substation automation systems in a simple and intuitive
way. Our solution is a suite of easy-to-handle software tools that facilitate efficiencies
throughout the lifecycle of your systems.

The core of these products contain deep integration with the IEC 61850 standard - allowing
engineers and integrators to define and configure substation automation systems in an
intuitive and meaningful way. Re-using of engineered data between the tools is the base
to achieve synergy benefits.
With over a thousand deployed substation automation systems worldwide, this tool suite
reflects ABB’s long-term IEC 61850 expertise. ABB’s UCA International certified in-house

Simplifying substation
automation system
engineering IET600
Integrated Engineering Tool IET600 provides a simple, flexible and consistent
approach to substation automation system engineering. It enables engineers
to design and configure the system-wide IEC 61850 communication dataflow
between IEDs by featuring powerful graphical interfaces to design the substation
topology and the physical communication infrastructure. The complete system
is documented in an IEC 61850 standard-compliant and reusable SCD file, allowing
an efficient and consistent multi-vendor system integration.
IET600’s combination of powerful engineering editors and built-in IEC 61850 intelligence
allows engineers to easily and effectively integrate protection and control IEDs into a
multi-vendor SA system. IET600 performs consistency checks, which reduces the amount
of errors not only during the initial system engineering, but also subsequently during
the integration, testing and commissioning phase.
Combined with the configuration of alarm and event signals for ABB’s MicroSCADA
platform, IET600 ensures data consistency throughout the lifecycle of the substation
automation system. The intuitive user interface allows engineers to effectively navigate
through large amounts of data, to find exactly what they need.
Application configuration allows you to
easily create, change, view or monitor
an IED configuration.
The parameter setting tool allows you
to view, change and compare all the
IED parameters.
Simplifying management of
protection and control relays
PCM600
PCM600 provides versatile functionalities for the entire life cycle of Relion®
protection and control IED applications. This easy-to-handle tool helps you
manage your protection and control equipment all the way from application
and communication configuration to IED maintenance and service.
PCM600 interacts with IEDs over the fast and reliable TCP/IP protocol via a corporate
LAN or WAN, or alternatively directly through the communication port at the front of the
IED. It is able to read and write all configuration and setting data of an IED with a single
command.
PCM600’s unique graphical application configuration concept enables configuration and
monitoring of the complete IED application from input to output. The online monitoring
allows an easy and fast testing of all protection and control functions.
The IEC 61850 standard-compliant PCM600 allows a seamless integration of Relion
IEDs into any IEC 61850 system. PCM600 and Relion IED series are the perfect solution
for any protection and control application.

diagnosis and application
testing ITT600
Integrated Testing Tool ITT600 SA Explorer is designed for easy diagnosis
and troubleshooting of IEC 61850 compliant substation automation systems
and applications. Featuring convenient navigation, comprehensive
presentation of application data and support for consistency checks,
both on and off-line.
ITT600 facilitates the easy exploration of the IEC 61850 configuration in any
protection and control IED, the visualization of GOOSE messages and the
communication simulation of an IED. ITT600’s versatile functionality eliminates
the need for multiple testing tools and helps engineers to isolate the root
cause of system communication problems. This allows efficient diagnosis and
troubleshooting of substation automation applications and therefore significantly
reduces testing and commissioning time.
ITT600 SA Explorer makes IEC 61850 systems easy to use. By translating
the complex terminology of communication protocols into the standardized
IEC 61850 language, it makes the essential information available to all users,
allowing anybody to use the same tool.
