REC670 Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) for Bay Control

Description

REC670

The ABB REC670 functions as a central hub for bay control within power network setups. It can be configured to work with any type of switchgear, adapting to different switchgear configurations with ease. Positioned within the interval layer of the substation automation system, it interfaces directly with various primary equipment such as circuit breakers, disconnectors, and transformers. The module supports a wide range of input and output options, allowing for comprehensive measurement and control. For instance, it can handle multiple analog inputs (such as current and voltage measurements) and digital inputs/outputs for controlling switches and receiving status signals.

REC670

It also integrates advanced voltage control for transformers in a substation within a single IED. With support for protocols like IEC 61850, it enables seamless communication within the station – wide network, facilitating data transfer to SCADA systems and other higher – level control platforms. Diagnostic capabilities are built – in, providing real – time alerts for any abnormal conditions in the connected equipment, which helps in proactive maintenance and reduces the risk of unexpected outages.

Installation and maintenance:

Before installing the ABB REC670, it is crucial to verify compatibility with the existing substation automation system. Check the communication protocols supported by the system to ensure seamless integration with the REC670’s IEC 61850, Modbus, DNP 3, or OPC capabilities. Ensure that the power supply available at the installation site matches the module’s input voltage requirements (110 V DC or 230 V AC). Also, confirm that there is sufficient space for mounting the device, considering its dimensions and any additional requirements for ventilation.

For ongoing maintenance, regularly check the status LEDs on the module. A steady green LED typically indicates normal operation, while red or flashing LEDs may signal faults such as communication errors or equipment malfunctions. Periodically inspect the connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion, as loose or corroded connections can lead to inaccurate measurements and control issues. It is also advisable to update the module’s firmware regularly to access the latest features, improvements, and security patches provided by ABB.
