Station/Remote switch function The COM610/615 gateway provides a common Station/Remote (S/R) switch functionality for OPC servers and clients. The S/R switch is used to determine whether the objects in a logical device of an IED can be controlled within the station or remotely via a gateway.
The COM600 can be configured to provide a certain level of tolerance against network failure by using either the ABB DuoDriver feature or the Intel Teaming Feature, Switch Fault Tolerance. These features are available when the optional dual port PCI Ethernet network adapter is used.
1MRS756125 COM600 Station Automation Series COM600 3.2 User's Guide Switch Fault Tolerance The Switch Fault Tolerance feature of the Intel network adapter requires the Teaming Feature be enabled. 2.3.10. Queuing of Process Data Updates This section describes the common queue mechanism for OPC Clients (slave protocols) in COM610/615.
COM600 Station Automation Series 1MRS756125 COM600 3.2 User's Guide Queue priorities If a high priority queue contains an update, it is always sent first. After that, the interrog- ated queue is checked. If none of these queues has updates, the state indications and measurements are checked in round-robin fashion.

About this section This section describes the configuration tasks common to all OPC servers, and gives an overview of the configuration tasks related to OPC clients. All the possible configuration scenarios are not included in this manual.
1MRS756125 COM600 Station Automation Series COM600 3.2 User's Guide Process data accessible on the devices is modeled according to the IEC 61850 standard. In the communication structure this is seen as logical devices (LD), logical nodes (LN) and data objects (DO). It is possible to insert an empty device into the structure and then manually add and configure LD, LN and DO objects.

COM600 Station Automation Series 1MRS756125 COM600 3.2 User's Guide 4.3.4. Configuration of Station/Remote switch Each IED and logical device in the OPC Server has a configuration parameter defining the OPC node path for the S/R switch that is used for that IED/logical device. If a logical device does not have an S/R switch path configured, the path defined in the IED is used instead.
CSWIx.Pos is linked by default to switch position event definition. The default linking rules are specified in a DOParamsDefaults.xml file located in the \Program files\ABB\COM600\bin\Tools\SCLImport in the computer where CET is installed. To configure event definitions: 1.
