At substation level, COM600F uses the data con-

browser-based HMI, which provides a customizable
graphical display for visualizing single-line mimic
diagrams for switchgear bay solutions. The SLD
feature is especially useful when 615 series relays
without the optional single-line diagram feature
are used. The Web HMI of COM600F also provides
an overview of the whole substation, including re-
lay-specific single-line diagrams, which makes in-
formation easily accessible. Substation devices and
processes can also be remotely accessed through
the Web HMI, which improves personnel safety.

In addition, COM600F can be used as a local data


warehouse for the substation's technical documen-
tation and for the network data collected by the de-
vices. The collected network data facilitates exten-

27. Cyber security


The relay supports role based user authentication
and authorization. It can store 2048 audit trail
events to a nonvolatile memory. The non-volatile
memory is based on a memory type which does not
need battery backup or regular component ex-
change to maintain the memory storage. FTP and
Web HMI use TLS encryption with a minimum of 128
bit key length protecting the data in transit. In this
case the used communication protocols are FTPS
and HTTPS. All rear communication ports and op-
tional protocol services can be deactivated accord-
ing to the required system setup.
