Introduction2.
Product overview2.1.
Product functionalities
Station Computer COM615 acts both as an embedded communication gateway between
substation automation protection and control devices and Network Control Centers
(NCC), and allows easy access to the protection and control devices of a substation either
locally or remotely with the HMI functionality.
COM615 uses an embedded operating system and runs in a dedicated industrial computer
without moving parts.
The products are configured using a separate engineering PC that is connected via the
local area network (LAN). For more information, refer to COM600 User's Guide.
Gateway functionality
The gateway functionality provides a framework that enables the use of OPC server and
client components, such as OPC Client for IEC 60870-5-101 and OPC Server for LON
LAG 1.4. This manual presents the principles that are common to the protocols available
at the moment as well as to those that will be applicable in the future. For protocol specific
information, refer to the respective client and server user’s guides.
An overview of a typical system is shown in Figure 2.1-1.

CET operations3.
Opening a project in CET3.1.
The configuration tasks described in this section apply only
to COM610 and 615.
First you need to start Communication Engineering Tool (CET) to open and name a
project.

A project can have one Gateway configuration.
Gateway management3.2.
The Gateway Management tool enables you to transfer the configurations of the objects
to the COM600 computer.
To be able to use the Gateway Management Tool, the engineering computer must be
connected to the COM600 computer. The IP address of the used ethernet port in the
COM600 computer must be entered to the corresponding Gateway object property. For
more information, see COM600 User's guide.
To open the Gateway Management tool, right-click the Gateway object in Communication
Engineering Tool (CET) and select Management. To transfer and activate the configur-
ation, click the respective buttons, see Figure 3.2-1:
•To copy the configurations of all servers and clients to the Gateway computer, click
Update configuration.
•To restart all servers and clients with the latest configurations, click Reload config-
uration.
•To transfer only the changed configurations and to restart only the changed server
or client with new configurations, click Update & reload configuration.

License handling3.3.
The Gateway Management tool displays the license information for COM600 under
License Information, see Figure 3.2-1. The license and the protocols it supports have
been predefined before the COM600 computer has been handed over by ABB.
The following information is shown in the window:
•owner of the license
•product revision
•protocols supported by the license.

Operator's Guide

To update the license with a new set of protocols, order a new license from ABB and
update it to COM600 with Communication Engineering Tool.
To update the license:
1. Open the Gateway Management tool.
2. Click Update License.
3. Browse for the new license file and click Open.
The license is COM600 specific and the COM600 computer verifies the compatibility
of the license. Also the servers and clients verify the license.
Diagnostics3.4.
General about diagnostics3.4.1.
Communication Engineering Tool (CET) provides comprehensive functions for diagnos-
ing the operation of the Gateway. This includes communication diagnostics with monit-
oring the communication channel, diagnostic counters and IED specific communication
status and diagnostic counters. It is also possible to monitor and control process data and
follow the data flow on the Gateway using diagnostic functions of CET. Figure 3.4.1-1
displays a sample view of a diagnostic counter dialog. An example of an event log file
is displayed in Figure 3.4.1-2

For more detailed information and instructions on controlling and monitoring channel
and device communication, refer to the respective user’s guide for the client or server
(see 1.8, Related documents).
Signal diagnostics3.4.4.
OPC clients have a diagnostic function which makes it possible to monitor the flow of
process data changes and commands. Activate the function by marking the Diagnostic
Events Enabled check box, located in the Online diagnostics function of the
IEC101/IEC104 Device. When the diagnostic function is activated, the IEC101 OPC
Client Alarm & Event server generates events with information about data changes and
commands.

Diagnostic Web Server3.4.5.
The Diagnostic Web Server of the Gateway provides an overall view of the communic-
ation status of the Gateway and the possibility to monitor the diagnostic counters of the
communication channels/subnetworks and IED communication. Figure 3.4.5-1 displays
the gateway objects in a tree view.
A red cross over the Gateway icon in the object tree indicates that there is a fault in the
communication structure. Expand the tree to view the hierarchy deeper and to identify
the device with a missing configuration or causing the error. The properties of a certain
object in the communication structure can be seen on the right when clicking on the
object in the tree view.
