Safety information
Dangerous voltages can occur on the connectors, even though the
auxiliary voltage has been disconnected.
Non-observance can result in death, personal injury or substantial

property damage.
Only a competent electrician is allowed to carry out the electrical

installation.
National and local electrical safety regulations must always be

followed.
The frame of the IED has to be carefully earthed.
When the plug-in unit has been detached from the case, do not touch the
inside of the case. The IED case internals may contain high voltage
potential and touching these may cause personal injury.
The IED contains components which are sensitive to electrostatic

discharge. Unnecessary touching of electronic components must
therefore be avoided.
Whenever changes are made in the IED, measures should be taken

to avoid inadvertent tripping.

Environmental aspects
Section 2 Environmental aspects
2.1 Sustainable development
Sustainability has been taken into account from the beginning of the product design
including the pro-environmental manufacturing process, long life time, operation
reliability and disposing of the IED.
The choice of materials and the suppliers have been made according to the EU
RoHS directive (2002/95/EC). This directive limits the use of hazardous substances
which are the following:
Table 2: Maximum concentration values by weight per homogeneous material

Substance Proposed maximum concentration
Lead - Pb 0.1%
Mercury - Hg 0.1%
Cadmium - Cd 0.01%
Hexavalent Chromium Cr (VI) 0.1%
Polybrominated biphenyls - PBB 0.1%
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers - PBDE 0.1%
Operational reliability and long life time have been assured with extensive testing
during the design and manufacturing processes. Moreover, long life time is
supported by maintenance and repair services as well as by the availability of spare
parts.
Design and manufacturing have been done under a certified environmental system.
The effectiveness of the environmental system is constantly evaluated by an
external auditing body. We follow environmental rules and regulations
systematically to evaluate their effect on our products and processes.
2.2 Disposing of the IED
Definitions and regulations of hazardous materials are country-specific and change

when the knowledge of materials increases. The materials used in this product are
typical for electric and electronic devices.
All parts used in this product are recyclable. When disposing of an IED or its parts
contact a local waste handler who is authorized and specialized in disposing

3.5 Communication
For application specific situations where communication between IEDs and remote
systems are needed, the 611 series IEDs also support IEC 61850 and Modbus®
communication protocols. Operational information and controls are available
through these protocols. Some communication functionality, for example,
horizontal communication between the IEDs, is only enabled by the IEC 61850
communication protocol.
611 series 27
Operation Manual
611 series overview
The IEC 61850 communication implementation supports monitoring and control

functionality. Additionally, parameter settings and disturbance and fault records
can be accessed using the IEC 61850 protocol. Disturbance records are available to
any Ethernet-based application in the standard COMTRADE file format. The IED
can send and receive binary signals from other IEDs (so called horizontal
communication) using the IEC 61850-8-1 GOOSE profile, where the highest
performance class with a total transmission time of 3 ms is supported. The IED
meets the GOOSE performance requirements for tripping applications in
distribution substations, as defined by the IEC 61850 standard. The IED can
simultaneously report events to five different clients on the station bus.
The IED can support five simultaneous clients. If PCM600 reserves one client
connection, only four client connections are left, for example, for IEC 61850 and
Modbus.
All communication connectors, except for the front port connector, are placed on
integrated optional communication modules. The IED can be connected to Ethernet-
based communication systems via the RJ-45 connector (100Base-TX) or the fibre-
optic LC connector (100Base-FX). An optional serial interface is available for
RS-485 communication.

3.6.1 Connectivity packages

A connectivity package is a software component that consists of executable code
and data which enables system tools to communicate with an IED. Connectivity
packages are used to create configuration structures in PCM600. The latest
PCM600 and connectivity packages are backward compatible with older IED
versions.
A connectivity package includes all of the data which is used to describe the IED.
For example it contains a list of what parameters exist, which data format is used,
the units, the setting range, the access rights and visibility of the parameter. In
addition it contains code which allows software packages that consume the
connectivity package to properly communicate with the IED. It also allows for
localization of text even when its read from the IED in a standard format such as
COMTRADE.
Update Manager is a tool that helps in defining the right connectivity package
versions for different system products and tools. Update Manager is included with
products that use connectivity packages.

IED operation
Section 5 IED operation
5.1 Normal operation
In a normal IED use situation, the basic operation includes monitoring and
checking procedures.
• Monitoring measured values
• Checking object states
• Checking function setting parameters
• Checking events and alarms
All basic operations can be performed via the LHMI, WHMI or with PCM600.
For more information, see PCM600 documentation.
5.2 Disturbance identification
Disturbances and their causes can be identified by indicator LEDs: Ready, Start
and Trip. During normal operation, the Ready LED is steady green.
Table 14: Disturbance indications

LED State Description
Start LED Yellow, steady Protection started
Start LED Yellow, flashing Protection function blocked
Trip LED Red, steady Protection operated

Further actions to be taken to identify the disturbance:
• Checking programmable LEDs

• Reading event history
• Checking fault records
• Analyzing disturbance recordings
611 series 67
Operation Manual
IED operation
Document the disturbance before clearing the information from the

IED.
Only authorized and skilled personnel should analyze possible

errors and decide on further actions. Otherwise, stored disturbance
data can be lost.
5.2.1 Disturbance recording triggering

Disturbance recordings are normally triggered by IED applications when they
detect fault events. Disturbance recordings can also be triggered manually or
periodically. The manual trigger generates an instant disturbance report. Use this
function to get a snapshot of the monitored signals.
5.2.2 Disturbance record analysis

The IED collects disturbance records of fault events which are set to trigger the
disturbance recorder. Disturbance data is collected and stored for later viewing and
analysis. The disturbance recorder data can be read and analyzed with PCM600.
5.2.3 Disturbance reports

PCM600 can be used for creating reports of disturbance recorder data.
5.2.4 Internal IED errors

The IED self-supervision handles internal run-time fault situations. The main
indication of an internal fault is a flashing green Ready LED.
Internal faults can be divided to hardware errors, run-time errors in the application
or operating system and communication errors. Further actions always depend on
the cause of the error.

Internal fault indications have the highest priority on the LHMI.

None of the other LHMI indications can override the internal fault
indication.
An indication about the fault is shown as a message on the LHMI. The text
Internal Fault with an additional text message, a code, date and time, is
shown to indicate the fault type.
Different actions are taken depending on the severity of the fault. The IED tries to
eliminate the fault by restarting. After the fault is found to be permanent, the IED
stays in internal fault mode. All other output contacts are released and locked for
the internal fault. The IED continues to perform internal tests during the fault
situation.
The internal fault code indicates the type of internal IED fault. When a fault
appears, record the code so that it can be reported to ABB customer service.

• Check the mode.
• Check the measurement value.
• Check the connection to trip and disturbance recorder functions.
• Check the channel settings.
Inspecting the wiring

The physical inspection of wiring connections often reveals the wrong connection
for phase currents or voltages. However, even though the phase current or voltage
connections to IED terminals might be correct, wrong polarity of one or more
measurement transformers can cause problems.
• Check the current or voltage measurements and their phase information from
Main menu/Measurements.
• Check that the phase information and phase shift between phases is correct.
• Correct the wiring if needed.
• Check the actual state of the connected binary inputs from Main menu/
Monitoring/I/O status/Binary input values.
• Test and change the relay state manually in Main menu/Tests/Binary outputs.
Sample data interruptions

Occasionally IEDs can receive corrupted or faulty measurement data during
runtime. In these cases the operation system halts the corresponding application
execution until correct data is received. In case of permanent faults, the

8.1 Commissioning checklist
Familiarize yourself with the IED and its functionality before you start the
commissioning work.
• Ensure that you have all the needed station drawings such as single line and
wiring diagrams.
• Ensure that your version of the technical manual applies to the IED version
you test.
• Ensure that your setting software and connectivity packages work with the
IED version you test.
• Find out if you need any additional software.
• Ensure that you have the IED settings either on paper or in electronic format.
The settings and logic should be well documented.
• Inspect the settings to ensure that they are correct.
• Ensure that you have the correct cable to connect your PC to the IED's
communication port. The RJ-45 port supports any CAT 5 Ethernet cable but
the recommendation is STP.
• Test your PC's communication port before you go to the site.
• Find out who to contact if you have trouble and make sure you have a means
to contact them.
• Find out who is responsible for the settings.
• Ensure that you have with you the proper test equipment and all needed
connection cables.
• Ensure that the owner of the switchgear familiarizes you with the work site
and any special aspects of it.
• Ensure that you know how to operate in emergency situations. Find out where
the first aid and safety materials and exit routes are.
8.2 Checking the installation

611 series 89
Operation Manual
Commissioning
8.2.2 Checking of CT circuits

Check that the wiring is in strict accordance with the supplied connection diagram.
Correct possible errors before continuing to test the circuitry.
The CTs must be connected in accordance with the terminal diagram provided with
the IED, both with regards to phases and polarity. The following tests are
recommended for every primary CT or CT core connected to the IED.
• Primary injection test to verify the current ratio of the CT, the correct wiring
up to the protection IED and correct phase sequence connection (that is L1,
L2, L3.)
• Polarity check to prove that the predicted direction of the secondary current
flow is correct for a given direction of the primary current flow. This is an
essential test for the proper operation of the directional function, protection or
measurement in the IED.
• CT secondary loop resistance measurement to confirm that the current
transformer secondary loop DC resistance is within specification and that there
are no high resistance joints in the CT winding or wiring.
• CT excitation test to ensure that the correct core in the CT is connected to the
IED. Normally only a few points along the excitation curve are checked to
ensure that there are no wiring errors in the system, for example, due to a
mistake in connecting the CT's measurement core to the IED.
• CT excitation test to ensure that the CT is of the correct accuracy rating and
that there are no short circuited turns in the CT windings. Manufacturer's
design curves should be available for the CT to compare the actual results.
• Earthing check of the individual CT secondary circuits to verify that each three-
phase set of main CTs is properly connected to the station earth and only at
one electrical point.
• Insulation resistance check.
• Phase identification of CT shall be made.
Both the primary and the secondary sides must be disconnected

from the line and the IED when plotting the excitation characteristics.
If the CT secondary circuit is opened or its earth connection is

missing or removed without the CT primary being de-energized
first, dangerous voltages may be produced. This can be lethal and
cause damage to the insulation. The re-energizing of the CT
primary should be prohibited as long as the CT secondary is open
or unearthed."

Correct possible errors before continuing to test the circuitry.
Test the circuitry.
• Polarity check
• VT circuit voltage measurement (primary injection test)
• Earthing check
• Phase relationship
• Insulation resistance check
The polarity check verifies the integrity of circuits and the phase relationships. The
polarity must be measured as close to the IED as possible to ensure that most of the
wiring is also checked.
The primary injection test verifies the VT ratio and the wiring all the way from the
primary system to the IED. Injection must be performed for each phase-to-neutral
circuit and each phase-to-phase pair. In each case, voltages in all phases and
neutral are measured.
8.2.4 Checking binary input and output circuits
8.2.4.1 Binary input circuits
Preferably, disconnect the binary input connector from the binary input cards.
Check all connected signals so that both input level and polarity are in accordance
with the IED specifications.
8.2.4.2 Binary output circuits
Preferably, disconnect the binary output connector from the binary output cards.
Check all connected signals so that both load and voltage are in accordance with
the IED specifications.

8.4 Using PCM600
8.4.1 Setting the communication between IEDs and PCM600

The communication between the IED and PCM600 is independent of the used
communication protocol within the substation or to the NCC. It can be seen as a
second channel for communication.
The communication media is always Ethernet and the protocol is TCP/IP.
Each IED has an Ethernet front connector for PCM600 access. Depending on the
station concept and the used station protocol, additional Ethernet interfaces may be
available on the rear side of the IED. All Ethernet interfaces can be used to connect
PCM600.
When an Ethernet based station protocol is used, the PCM600 communication can
use the same Ethernet port and IP address. The IED is able to separate the
information belonging to the PCM600 dialog.

Commissioning
To configure the physical connection and the IP addresses:
1. Set up or get the IP addresses of the IEDs.

2. Set up the PC for a direct link or connect the PC or workstation to the network.
3. Configure the IED IP addresses in the PCM600 project for each IED. The
addresses are used for communication by the OPC interface of PCM600.
8.4.1.1 Communication options
Two options are available for the connection of PCM600 to the IED.
• Direct point to point link between PCM600 and the IED

• Indirect link via a station LAN or from remote via a network
Point to point link

The IED is provided with an RJ-45 connector on the LHMI. The connector is
mainly for configuration and setting purposes. Any Ethernet cable can be used but
it is recommended to use the shielded twisted pair cable.
The IED has a DHCP server for the front interface. The DHCP server assigns an IP
address to the computer connected to the front interface. The computer's LAN
interface has to be configured to obtain the IP address automatically.
LAN or WAN network

In TCP/IP networking, a LAN is often but not always implemented as a single IP
subnet. A router connects LANs to a WAN. In IP networking, the router maintains
both a LAN address and a WAN address. Design considerations for computer
networks cover a wide range of topics including layout, capacity planning, and
security. To some extent, the network configuration also depends on user preferences.
8.4.1.2 Setting communication parameters
The IP address and the corresponding mask can be set via the LHMI for the rear
port. The front port uses a fixed IP address 192.168.0.254. The front port also uses
DHCP.
Each Ethernet interface has a factory default IP address when the complete IED is
delivered.

8.5 Setting IED and communication
8.5.1 Communication settings

The IED is provided with an RJ-45 connector on the LHMI. The connector is
mainly used for configuration and setting purposes. The fixed IP address for the
front port is 192.168.0.254.
Different communication ports are available via optional communication modules.

Ethernet RJ-45 and optical Ethernet LC are the two rear port Ethernet
communication options. Rear port Ethernet is intended for station bus
communication. Communication protocols used via Ethernet ports are IEC
61850-8-1 and Modbus TCP/IP. The RS-485 twisted pair is used for rear port
communication. Modbus RTU/Modbus ASCII is the protocol available for serial
communication.
For more information, see the communication protocol manuals and

the technical manual.
If the protocol does not operate as expected, check that other serial
protocols are not using the COM port.
8.5.1.1 Serial communication ports and drivers
Depending on the hardware configuration, the IED can be equipped with one or
several UART-based serial communication ports. The communication ports can be
either galvanic (RS-485) or fibre-optic. The IED uses serial ports and drivers as
different types of serial communication protocol links.
Serial ports are called COM1, COM2 and so on, depending on the number of serial
ports in the IED hardware configuration. Each COM port driver has its own setting
parameters found via the LHMI in Configuration/Communication/COMn (n= 1,2,
…).
Since the same IED usually supports a variety of different communication

hardware options, all COM port driver setting parameters are not relevant for every
communication hardware type.

8 = 38400
9 = 57600
10 = 115200 [bits/sec]
1) When fiber mode is used, the Serial mode parameter value must be RS485 2wire.
In addition to setting the COM parameter, a communication card

with many hardware options may also require changing the jumpers
on the communication card.
Connection of a serial communication protocol to a specific serial port
The serial communication protocol (instance) settings include a setting parameter

called Serial port n (n = protocol instance number). Setting options for this
parameter are COM1, COM2 and so on. Select the desired serial port for the
protocol instance through this parameter.
All link setting parameters are not found in the COMn settings.
Additional link setting parameters are found in the setting
parameter list of the used serial protocol, since some serial protocol
standards allow changes in link parameters, while other protocol
standards do not.

8.5.1.2 Serial link diagnostics and monitoring
Serial communication diagnostics and monitoring is divided between the serial link
driver and the serial communication protocol. The lower level physical and protocol-
independent aspects of the UART-based serial communication are monitored in the
serial link driver. Diagnostic counters and monitoring values are found via the
LHMI in Monitoring/Communication/COMn (n= 1,2,…).
Depending on the communication protocol, the serial driver software receives

single characters or complete protocol frames, based on the frame start/stop
characters or on timing.
Monitoring data for a COM channel can be divided into basic and detailed
diagnostic counters.

Counter Function
Characters received Counts all incoming non-erroneous characters.
This counter operates regardless of if the serial
driver is set to detect a whole protocol link frame
or just separate characters.
Frames received Counts all protocol specific non-erroneous
frames received. Protocol-specific frames can be
based on timing (for example, Modbus RTU) or
on special start and stop characters (for
example, Modbus ASCII).
Frames discarded Counts all protocol-specific erroneous frames
received. If the driver detects an error while
receiving a frame, the frame is automatically
discarded. This also means that the protocol in
question will never receive a faulty frame from
the driver. When this counter is increased, one of
the detailed error counters is also incremented.
Frames transmitted Counts all protocol-specific frames transmitted
from the COM channel.

Counter Function
Collision Counts transmission collisions. Used in RS-485
mode by some protocols where transmissions
could collide.
Parity errors Counts parity errors detected in characters.

8.6.4 Selecting the internal fault test

The internal fault may be tested by using the LHMI. When enabling the test, the
internal relay fault output contact is activated, the green Ready LED will be
blinking and internal fault test indication is shown on the LHMI. See Technical
Manual for internal relay fault output contact location.
Differing from real internal fault situation, the other output contacts
are not released and locked during the test. In other words,
protection functions can operate and trip the outputs when the
internal fault is tested.
1. Select Main menu/Tests/IED test/Internal fault test and press .

8.7 ABB Product Data Registration
The ABB Product Data Registration feature traces composition changes related to
the IED's SW or HW.
110 611 series

Operation Manual
Commissioning
After a composition change, an LCT indication is seen on the LHMI at the IED start-
up. At this point, PCM600 should be connected to the IED as it reads the changed
data from the IED. The LCT indication is cleared in the same way as other
indications. If PCM600 is not connected to the IED, the indication is seen again
after the IED's reboot.
