Application The gateway COM581 is used as a gateway and data concentrator in a substation automa-tion system. Apart from protocol conversion, the unit marshals data for transfer to higher level control systems (power system control), to other substations and to protection and control equipment. COM581 is a component of the ABB series of high and medium-volt-age substation automation devices.

Because of its modular design, COM581 sup-ports multiple communication interfaces and protocols. Provision is made for exchanging data with several network control centers via different telecontrol channels according to IEC 60870-5-101, RP571 or DNP 3.0 etc. In addition to conventional telecontrol commu-nication channels, modern powerful LANs are supported, e.g. IEC 60870-5-104.

The bay control units and protection devices communicate via an interbay bus utilizing either LON or IEC 61850 communication protocol. The integration of third-party pro-tection equipment is done via the interna-tional standards IEC 60870-5-103 or IEC 61850.

Apart from protocol conversion, COM581 also performs system functions at station level such as the concentration of individual alarms to a sum alarm.

The modularity of the device is based on the type and number of communication protocols and the physical interfaces, the number of power supply boards (redundancy) and the number of processor boards.

Design The gateway COM581 is an integral part of the ABB substation automation system. Its hardware and software are based on the numerical busbar protection REB500.

Figure 1 shows the integration of COM581 in an ABB automation system. One COM581 is used for the link to the substation automation system. The other COM581 is used to inter-face to third-party protection schemes. ABB protection devices are connected directly to the interbay bus via the LON interface.

Figure 2 shows a redundant COM581 in an ABB substation automation system. Here the the bay units are integrated with the IEC 61850 protocol. The redundant COM581 units are operated in the hot-hot configura-tion. This means that the data from the pro-cess are equally treated by both COM581 and sent to the NCCs via both COM581.Page 2 1MRB520206-Ben

Protocols IEC 60870-5-101 is a serial protocol for connection to the Network Control Center (NCC). The protocol is a companion stan-dard of the IEC 60870-5 series of commu-nication standards. It is available as slave protocol in the COM581 and may be oper-ated in either the balanced or unbalanced link mode. The balanced mode can be used

IEC 60870-5-104 (point-to-point) is the networked version of the companion stan-dard IEC 60870-5-101. IEC 60870-5-104 uses the TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) transport layer. The COM581 is able to implement the server functionality of IEC 60870-5-104 as point-to-point link.

COM581


IEC 60870-5-103 is a monitoring interface for the connection of protection equip-ment. The interface supports three main categories of data exchange: public signal, disturbance data and generic services. The COM581 is able to handle the entire range of data exchange and in addition also sup-ports privately agreed upon address ranges. In the case of the disturbance data and generic service, the COM581 acts as transparent gateway and it is up to the con-nected client on the station or network control level to implement the services.

RP570/RP571 is an ABB serial protocol used for connection to NCC or Micro-SCADA equipment. The protocol is based on the IEC 60870-5 link layer definition. The COM581 implements the slave part of the RP570/RP571.

DNP 3.0 is a serial protocol for connection to NCC. The protocol is based on theIEC 60870-5 link layer definitions. This protocol, which is an open, intelligent, robust and efficient SCADA protocol and whose owner is the DNP 3.0 user group, has gained worldwide acceptance. COM581 implements the slave and master part of the DNP 3.0 for the serial link. COM581 supports the level 2 fully and also some features of level 3.

LON is a protocol defined by Echelon Corporation. ABB uses the LON protocol as connection between bay units and sta-tion level equipment (interbay bus or sta-tion bus). For the secure transport, in order to accommodate the requirements of Sub-station Automation in general, ABB has defined its own transport, session and application layers. ABB LON devices and the LON-SPA-gateway (LSG) are sup-ported. In addition the Eberle tap changers will be supported.

IEC 61850 - communication within the substation. The goal of IEC 61850 is interoperability, i.e. the ability of IEDs from one or several manufacturers to exchange information and use the informa-tion for their own functions. The approach of IEC 61850 is to decompose all func-tions into smallest objects (Logical Node, LN), which communicate with each other. These LNs are objects, which contain all data to be exchanged according to stan-dardized services. This SA domain-spe-cific application model (data, services) is mapped to a mainstream communication stack comprising MMS, TCP/IP and Ethernet. Data are exchanged via client-server relations. COM581 supports the client and server functionality.

lines) on one CPU (1 x synchronous and 1 x asynchronous or 2 x asynchronous). For SRP the two connections from the COM581 CPU to the Ethernet switches must be either

both electrical or both optical. Mixed mode is not supported.Page 4 1MRB520206-Ben

Generalfeatures

Starting with release 6.20 it is possible to run two protocols on the same CPU. In general it is possible to select one time each protocol.

The following table shows the possible com-binations for 2 protocols on the same CPU card for the release 6.30:

Single = only single protocol on the CPU possibleyes = 2 protocols on the same CPU possibleno = combination not possible

Table 1: Possible combinations for 2 protocols on the same CPU

Hot - standby features

Redundant COM581 configurationThe following section shows the different variants for a redundant COM581 configura-tion:

Variant 1:COM581 in hot-hot configurationIn this configuration the NCC is polling both communication lines at the same time and both COM581 are working in a hot-hot con-figuration. All data will be sent twice to the NCC and the NCC has to handle the dupli-cated events. The NCC can supervise both communication lines.

Fig. 3 Hot-hot configuration

Variant 2:COM581 in hot-standby configurationIn this configuration the NCC is polling only one communication line and the other com-munication line is not polled. One COM581 is working in a hot- and the other is working in standby configuration. On the standby COM581 it's allowed to send test link to supervise the communication line.

The NCC can force a switch over from hot to standby by polling the standby communica-tion line. Test link on the standby line is allowed to check the availability. The standby COM581 can delete the event queues to avoid too many duplicated events, this time for deleting the event queues is configurable in the CAP581. During switchover from hot to standby a small number of double events are allowed.

Fig. 4 Hot-standby configuration

Variant 3:COM581 in hot-standby configuration (with additional link between both COM581)With an additional connection between two COM581 it is possible to run a hot-standby configuration. In the standby mode the serial interfaces will be switched off.

An error in one COM581 (e.g. CPU or power supply failure) will force a switch over from the hot to the standby COM581.

The COM581 will guarantee that events are not lost during a switch over, but a small number of double event are allowed.

Fig. 5 Hot-standby configuration with additional link

IEC 61850 features

The COM581 supports the IEC61850 clients as well as the IEC61850 server feature. The IEC61850 client is required to fulfil the gate-way feature within as system. The server will be used for the COM581 Proxy. The

COM581 Proxy will be used for the integra-tion of protection devices via the IEC60870-5-103 protocol and distributes the data on IEC61850.

SRP - Serial Redundancy Protocol

Serial Redundancy Protocol is intended for connecting COM581 via two interfaces to a ring of RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) Ethernet switches.Only one of the interfaces is forwarding and

the other is in a silence mode. There is a switch over time of around 10 seconds.SRP is useful to increase the availability on the station level devices by connecting the COM581 to two different Ethernet switches.Page 6 1MRB520206-Ben

COM581


In a distributed system architecture with MicroSCADA Pro and COM581 it is neces-sary to communicate between station HMI (MicroSCADA) and gateway (COM581) to

deal with the Command Authority. Either the Command Authority is on station level (MicroSCADA Pro) or on NCC level.

Fig. 7 Command Authority handling

This Command Authority handling can be configured in two modes:

Command Authority handling generally per gateway

Command Authority handling individually per bay

Following other features are implemented in COM581 to support this distributed system architecture

Supervision between MicroSCADA and COM581

Double command blocking on the IEC61850 bus

Several IEC61850 segments on one COM581

Functions The main tasks performed by the gateway COM581 are protocol conversion and data marshalling. Protocol conversion comprises a series of sub-tasks that are described briefly below.

Dynamic (external and internal) protocol handlingA communication protocol consists of a sequence of actions and reactions structured according to the ISO/OSI 7 data exchange layer model. Dynamic protocol handling con-cerns both external communication, for example with the network control center, and internal communication between the various protocol functions in COM581. The units external response is determined by the proto-col being applied at the time. Examples of dynamic protocol handling are the scanning procedures of master/slave protocols.

Format conversionThe different communications protocols gen-erally have different data formats that have to be transferred in both directions. In order to achieve the highest degree of modularity, COM581 first converts the data to a neutral internal format (based on the international

standard IEC 60870-5-101) and then to the format of the specific target protocol. Since communication on the internal bus is also based on IEC 60870-5-101, the amount of conversion effort required is a minimum in cases where this standard, which is univer-sally applied by many manufacturers, is used for telecontrol communication as well.

Address conversionNot only are the data formats of the various 1MRB520206-Ben Page 7

protocols different, their address mapping is also different and has to be converted as well.


COM581


Functions (contd) The addresses are thus similarly converted initially to a neutral address map before being converted to the address map of the target protocol.Marshalling and copying dataAn important aspect of multiple protocol applications with COM581 (e.g. communica-tion with several network control centers) is

the proper marshalling of the data to be trans-ferred according to the appropriate target pro-tocols. This operation is based on the datas address in COM581. Multiple protocol appli-cations also involve duplicating or copying data.

Fig. 8 Software configuration of the COM581

Local operation of the gateway COM581 The simplest alternative of operating the unit is the local control panel on the front with a 4-line LCD with cursor control.

The second alternative is to connect a PC to the optical interface also located on the local control panel on the front of the unit.

The menu-guided operator program on the PC provides facility for:

setting parameters loading application software

The operator program CAP581 running on the PC connected to the gateway COM581 has been written so that little reference has to be made to operating instructions. This has been achieved by:

an user-friendly menu-guided selection of functions using windows techniques

the ability to create application software off-line and download it to the communi-cations unit afterwards

The software architecture of COM581 can be seen from Fig. 8. The configuration data are stored in the data base system (DBS). The diagnostic subsystem (DIA) ensures that the applications are started up and shut down properly and also supervises the operation of COM581. The clock time of the LON/IEC 61850 station bus is used as time base.

CAP581 configuration tool for COM581

The configuration tool CAP581 is required for configuring a gateway COM581.

For each COM581, a database is generated running CAP581 which is then downloaded to the respective COM581. With the help of

the DIS581 (Diagnostic and System Informa-tion Tool) the data base created on the PC can be loaded via a serial, optical interface (LMI) on the particular protocol converter COM581.

Fig. 9 Principle of the engineering and configuration tool CAP581

CAP581 is used for configuring the data communication interface (e.g. LON, IEC 101, RP571 etc.). The CAP581 configuration tool is utilized for setting the protocol parameters, data conversion, tables and marshalling tables. The data can be entered into data masks or imported from a signal list. Signal import via Excel list is supported.

Parameter settings are documented in lists.The configuration operations are highly auto-mated. Existing configuration data for bay units can therefore be used as a basis for con-figuring new schemes. The internal COM581 addresses are also assigned fully automati-cally. The engineering and configuration of a COM581 scheme is also made more efficient by the assignment of default settings.

Diagnostic The Diagnostic and System Information Tool (DIS581) provides a serial interface to the COM581. This enables the user to up- and download configuration data. Furthermore protocol information could be uploaded from

the COM581 device. The tool provides the user with a testing environment as it supports the forcing and monitoring of signals to the NCC and station devices.

Hardware The hardware structure of a COM581 gateway can be seen in Fig. 10. The internal VME bus enables protocol conversions to be performed in parallel on several CPUs.

Fig. 10 Hardware configuration of the COM581

The hardware of the communication gateway COM581 comprises boards that are selected and combined to perform the desired applica-tion:

Processor and interface boards Local control board on the front of the unit Power supply board Electrical/optical converter

Processor boards The processor boards contain essentially the processor unit with the various communica-tion interfaces. The identical CPU card (500CIM06) is used for all protocols. The control of the external communication inter-faces can be configured according to the par-

ticular application (e.g. data exchange with the interbay bus according to LON, serial telecontrol according to IEC 60870-5-101 or data exchange according to IEC 60870-5-103). One processor also controls the front plate interface for the connection of a service PC.

Local operation on the front of the unitA four-line LCD with a cursor is provided on the front of the unit for simple local control. The units parameters are set comfortably by connecting a PC to the front.

Power supply board 500PSM03The power supply board is a DC/DC con-verter with an output of 100 W.It can operate from all input voltages in a range from 36 V DC to 312 V DC without any switching.The tolerances of the rated output voltages of +5 V DC and 12 V DC are continuously mon-itored. Uninterrupted power in case of input power loss is maintained during a minimal time of 70 ms (at 100 W output power and Ui = 36 V). During the first 50 ms no VME bus signals are generated. After 50 ms the ACFAIL* signal is generated and all output voltages remain within specified limits for at least 20 ms.Provision is made for a second redundant power supply board on the right of the rack. The redundant power supplies are both active

simultaneously i.e. no switchover time is nec-essary. Power distribution in the redundant mode is better than 35% / 65%.

Processor board 500CIM06The application programs run on the proces-sor units (processor boards), see Fig 14. The same CPU board 500CIM06 is used for all protocols, and it is equipped with a powerful power PC processor. For LON communica-tion an ancillary board 500LBI02 is inserted.

Star coupler board 500SCM02A star coupler board 500SCM02 converts the electrical signals to be transferred via the bus into optical signals. The board has five opti-cal transmitter/receiver pairs which are con-nected to the protection devices via optical fiber cables.

Uninterrupted power in case of input power loss is maintained during a mini-mal time of 70 ms (at 100 W output power and Ui = 36 V). During the first 50 ms no VME bus signals are generated. After 50 ms the ACFAIL* signal is generated and all output voltages remain within specified limits for at least 20 ms.
