ABB Relion 670 Industrial Communication and Protection Functions
The REB670 uses ABB Relion 670 series communication architecture to exchange protection and control information through IEC 61850 based networks. It supports GOOSE messaging for high-speed interlocking and trip signaling. Additionally, the device supports Sampled Values Process Bus functions for digital current and voltage measurement applications.
The IED manages complex busbar arrangements, including single busbar, double busbar, transfer bus, and breaker-and-a-half configurations. Furthermore, it supervises CT input conditions by monitoring CT saturation and open-circuit conditions to maintain measurement accuracy during fault conditions.
The ABB protection platform also supports industrial network performance optimization through deterministic communication handling and configurable I/O density scaling. Therefore, the REB670 can integrate multiple protection zones and bay signals within a structured substation automation system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the REB670 support IEC 61850 GOOSE communication?
A: Yes. The REB670 supports IEC 61850 communication with GOOSE messaging for high-speed protection signaling and interlocking functions.
Q: What type of current transformer inputs does the REB670 accept?
A: The device supports configurable CT input modules with 1 A and 5 A current transformer signal options.
Q: Can the REB670 operate with redundant communication networks?
A: Yes. Specific configurations support PRP and HSR network redundancy according to IEC 62439-3 requirements.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Install the REB670 in a protected control cabinet with suitable mechanical support and environmental conditions.
- Connect CT secondary circuits using correct polarity and phase identification to prevent incorrect differential current calculation.
- Maintain separation between protection signal wiring and high-current power cables to reduce electromagnetic interference.
- Use shielded communication cables according to IEC 61850 network installation practices.
- Connect cable shields using proper grounding methods to minimize communication noise and transient interference.
- Verify auxiliary power polarity before energizing the IED.
- Confirm firmware compatibility and configuration files before commissioning the protection functions.
- Test trip outputs, breaker failure logic, CT supervision, and communication interfaces during site acceptance procedures.
