Wireless I/O Gateway
ARR600
Product version: A

1. Description

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

2. Complete communication system

Wireless I/O Gateway ARR600 is part of a complete
communication system that consists of Arctic 600 series
gateways and a central M2M Gateway ARM600
communication server. The M2M gateway is an essential part of
the total communication solution and offers features that are
needed to build a reliable end-to-end communication system.
• Static IP addressing for Arctic 600 series devices –
Possibility to use operator independent standard SIM
cards
• VPN Concentrator – Secure communication between a
central location and remote sites
• Arctic Patrol – Centralized device management application
for the Arctic 600 series devices monitoring and
controlling
• Firewall – A network security system to control the
incoming and outgoing network traffic
