Section 2 ARG600 overview
2.1 Overview
Wireless Gateway ARG600 provides wireless monitoring and control of field
devices via cellular network from a central site or a control center. The devices
offer industrial quality connectivity for the TCP/IP and serial port based protocols.
Wireless Gateway ARG600 exhibits integrated communication capability and
seamless integration to the SCADA systems.
Wireless Gateway ARG600 is a member of ABB’s Arctic product family and part
of its 600 Wireless Gateway product series.
By using Wireless Gateway ARG600, Ethernet and serial devices can be attached
to a TCP/IP based control system. With Wireless Gateway ARG600, conventional
IEC60870-101 devices can be attached to a modern TCP/IP based IEC
60870-5-104 control system. This is made possible by the protocol conversion
from IEC 60870-5-101 to IEC 60870-104. ARG600 also supports Modbus RTU to
Modbus TCP protocol conversion.DNP3 serial devices can be attached to a DNP3
TCP SCADA system. In this case, the DNP3 protocol is transferred over TCP/IP
communication (transparent serial gateway mode).
Wireless Gateway ARG600 can be utilized for various industrial and utility
applications to maximize the benefits.
• Industrial grade TCP/IP router: several serial and TCP/IP based field devices
can be integrated into a central supervisory and control system (SCADA)
• Integrated protocol conversion enables connecting the legacy serial-based
devices into a TCP/IP-based supervisory control system (SCADA)
• Ideal for retrofitting by allowing the user to extend the life cycle of existing
serial-based substation devices
• Remote access to field devices means less site visits for operations and
maintenance
• Optimizing the cost of communication by using public cellular networks
• Possibility to upgrade from the existing legacy's private radio system to a
higher bandwidth cellular network based solution. This enables to fully
maximize the usage of the existing application. For example, the video
surveillance of traffic can now be integrated into the same system.

The unit is protected against reversed polarity in specified voltage range.
Power switch
The power switch enables or disables the operation of the device.
Console enable switch
The console enable switch enables or disables console access. When it is disabled,
both serial ports may be used as an application serial port. When the switch is in
the right position, RS1 is in serial port mode and when in the left position, RS1 is
in console mode.
DIP switches
The DIP switches select an application port (RS2) mode and settings (RS-232 or
RS-485). By default, all DIP switches are set to the 0 position (RS-232 mode). DIP
switches 2...4 apply only when DIP switch 1 is set to differential mode (RS-485/
RS-422).

If biasing and/or termination is required for the RS-485 half-duplex
(2-wire) mode, enable RS-422 biasing/termination with DIP
switches and manually connect pins 2-7 and 3-8 together at the
application port (RS-2).
Ethernet connector
The device has an RJ-45 connector for 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connection. The
maximum length of the Ethernet cable is 100 m.
2.2.2 Back panel
The device has an antenna connector and a slot for a SIM card on the back panel.
