1. Description
Wireless I/O Gateway ARR600 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 IEC 60870 and Modbus based protocols.
Field applications can be connected and controlled via built-in
digital and analog I/O’s. Wireless I/O Gateway ARR600 exhibits
integrated communication capability and seamless integration
to the SCADA systems.
Wireless I/O Gateway ARR600 is a member of ABB’s Arctic
product family and part of its 600 Wireless Gateway product
series.
With Wireless I/O Gateway ARR600, 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. ARR600 also supports Modbus RTU to Modbus
TCP protocol conversion.
By using Wireless I/O Gateway ARR600, Ethernet and serial
devices can be attached to a TCP/IP based control system.
DNP3 serial devices can also be attached to a DNP3 TCP
SCADA system. In this case, the DNP3 protocol is transferred
to TCP/IP communication (transparent serial gateway mode).
Wireless I/O Gateway ARR600 can be utilized for various
industrial and utility applications to maximize the benefits.
• Built-in I/O capability enables the remote monitoring and
control of the switching devices
• 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 due to
the integrated protocol converter
• Remote access to the field devices means less site visits
for operations and maintenance
• Industrial grade TCP/IP router: several serial and TCP/IP
based field devices can be integrated into a central
supervisory and control system (SCADA)
• Optimizing the cost of communication by using public
cellular networks
2. Complete communication system
Wireless I/O Gateway ARR600 is part of a complete
communication system that consists of Arctic 600 series
gateways and a central M2M Gateway ARM600
communication server. The M2M gateway is an essential part of
the total communication solution and offers features that are
needed to build a reliable end-to-end communication system.
• Static IP addressing for Arctic 600 series devices –
Possibility to use operator independent standard SIM
cards
• VPN Concentrator – Secure communication between a
central location and remote sites
• Arctic Patrol – Centralized device management application
for the Arctic 600 series devices monitoring and
controlling
• Firewall – A network security system to control the
incoming and outgoing network traffic

3. Application
Wireless I/O Gateway ARR600 can be used in the feeder
automation and substation applications to automate
distribution network in cooperation with the other ABB grid
automation equipment. Further, the devices can be used in
secondary substations for monitoring of transformers as well as
other monitoring and control applications.
ARR600 can be used in various industrial applications.
• Generic remote I/O interface for an upper-level system, for
example, for directly controlling a load-break switch
• Connecting IEC-101 or Modbus RTU protocol based
meters and fault passage indicators into an upper-level
system
• Providing a fast, reliable and secure wireless link between
Ethernet devices, such as COM600 Substation
Management Unit and 615 series protection relays
• Enables remote service and maintenance opportunities by
allowing the service personnel to remotely access any type
of field devices. For example, these field devices can
securely report the condition monitoring information,
which allows planning of preventative maintenance.
• Backup connectivity for any communication link
Key features
• Digital I/O and analog input interfaces
• Support for multiple communication protocols for
controlling of I/O ports
• Protocol converter for multiple communication protocols
• Enables always-on TCP/IP routing and serial over TCP/IP
based two-way communication
• Arctic Patrol connectivity supervision of the
communication
• Secure communication maintained with VPN and Firewall

4. Physical interfaces
Wireless I/O Gateway ARR600 has two I/O variants called IO-1
and IO-2. IO-1 has 8 binary inputs and 2 binary outputs while
IO-2 has 6 binary inputs, 4 binary outputs and 2 analog inputs.
ARR600 has two serial ports (RS-232, RS-485) and one LAN
port (RJ-45) for device connectivity.

5. Communication
Wireless I/O Gateway ARR600 provides a complete solution for
integrating the remote serial (RS-232/RS-485) or Ethernet
devices with a central management system over a GPRS, 3G or
LTE connection. Several interfaces are available for field device
connectivity: digital inputs and outputs, analog inputs, serial
and Ethernet ports. Industrial protocols IEC-104 and Modbus
TCP are supported for the SCADA connectivity. With the
Wireless I/O Gateway ARR600 protocol conversion feature,
conventional IEC-101 and Modbus serial devices can be
connected in a reliable way to modern TCP/IP based IEC-104
and Modbus TCP control systems.
ARR600 provides a secure and reliable communication solution
with support for secure VPN communication, static IP routing,
an intelligent self-testing system, NAT, port forwarding and a
firewall for monitoring IP traffic and blocking unwanted
connections.
The inputs and outputs can be accessed and controlled with
IEC-104 and Modbus TCP protocols.
