ABB Substation Management Unit COM600S

COM600S is a versatile substation automation and data management unit. Together with protection and control relays and other communication devices, it enables smart solutions for utility or industrial medium voltage distribution substations. COM600S performs the combined role of a user interface, a communication gateway and an automation platform, running real and non-real time applications, in a single physical unit to facilitate substation operations, data management and analytics.

The COM600S unit accommodates web technology-based functionality, which provides access to substation devices and processes via a web browser-based human machine interface (WebHMI). All standard substation monitoring and control aspects can be handled using the WebHMI. 

Scope
