Serial communication, LONExisting stations with ABB station bus LON can be extendedwith use of the optical LON interface. This allows full SAfunctionality including peer-to-peer messaging and cooperationbetween existing ABB IED's and the new IED 670.SPA communication protocolA single glass or plastic port is provided for the ABB SPAprotocol. This allows extensions of simple substationautomation systems but the main use is for SubstationMonitoring Systems SMS.IEC 60870-5-103 communication protocolA single glass or plastic port is provided for theIEC60870-5-103 standard. This allows design of simplesubstation automation systems including equipment fromdifferent vendors. Disturbance files uploading is provided.DNP3.0 communication protocolAn electrical RS485 and an optical Ethernet port is available forthe DNP3.0 communication. DNP3.0 Level 2 communicationwith unsolicited events, time synchronizing and disturbancereporting is provided for communication to RTUs, Gateways orHMI systems.Multiple command and transmitWhen 670 IED's are used in Substation Automation systemswith LON, SPA or IEC60870-5-103 communication protocolsthe Event and Multiple Command function blocks are used asthe communication interface for vertical communication tostation HMI and gateway and as interface for horizontal peer-to-peer communication (over LON only).IEC 62439-3 Parallel Redundant ProtocolRedundant station bus communication according to IEC62439-3 Edition 1 and IEC 62439-3 Edition 2 are available asoptions in 670 series IEDs. IEC 62439-3 parallel redundantprotocol is an optional quantity and the selection is made atordering. Redundant station bus communication according toIEC 62439-3 uses both port AB and port CD on the OEMmodule.Select IEC 62439-3 Edition 1 protocol at thetime of ordering when an existing redundantstation bus DuoDriver installation is extended.Select IEC 62439-3 Edition 2 protocol at thetime of ordering for new installations withredundant station bus.IEC 62439-3 Edition 1 is NOT compatiblewith IEC 62439-3 Edition 2.18. Remote communicationAnalog and binary signal transfer to remote endThree analog and eight binary signals can be exchangedbetween two IEDs. This functionality is mainly used for the linedifferential protection. However it can be used in other productsas well. An IED can communicate with up to 4 remote IEDs.Binary signal transfer to remote end, 192 signalsIf the communication channel is used for transfer of binarysignals only, up to 192 binary signals can be exchangedbetween two IEDs. For example, this functionality can be usedto send information such as status of primary switchgearapparatus or intertripping signals to the remote IED. An IED cancommunicate with up to 4 remote IEDs.Line data communication module, short, medium and longrange LDCMThe line data communication module (LDCM) is used forcommunication between the IEDs situated at distances <68miles or from the IED to optical to electrical converter with G.703 or G.703E1 interface located on a distances <1.9 milesaway. The LDCM module sends and receives data, to and fromanother LDCM module. The IEEE/ANSI C37.94 standard formatis used.Galvanic X.21 line data communication module X.21-LDCMA module with built-in galvanic X.21 converter which e.g. canbe connected to modems for pilot wires is also available.Galvanic interface G.703 resp G.703E1The external galvanic data communication converter G.703/G.703E1 makes an optical-to-galvanic conversion for connectionto a multiplexer. These units are designed for 64 kbit/s resp2Mbit/s operation. The converter is delivered with 19” rackmounting accessories.19. Hardware descriptionHardware modulesPower supply module PSMThe power supply module is used to provide the correct internalvoltages and full isolation between the terminal and the batterysystem. An internal fail alarm output is available.Binary input module BIMThe binary input module has 16 optically isolated inputs and isavailable in two versions, one standard and one with enhancedpulse counting capabilities on the inputs to be used with thepulse counter function. The binary inputs are freelyprogrammable and can be used for the input of logical signalsto any of the functions. They can also be included in thedisturbance recording and event-recording functions.
