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
