1. Description
Wireless Gateway RER601/603 provides wireless monitoring
and control of field devices via GPRS from a central site or
control center. The devices offer industrial quality connectivity
devices for the IEC 60870 protocol family and can be
connected via digital IO’s and controlled through 2 serial
ports using IEC 60870-5-104 protocol from the SCADA
system. Wireless Gateway RER601/603 exhibits integrated
communication capability and seamless integration to SCADA
systems.
With the Wireless Gateway RER601/603 conventional IEC
60870-101 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 (and vice versa).
This means that the Wireless Gateway RER601/603 can be
utilized for various industrial applications to maximize the
following benefits:
• Integrated communication solution with built-in IO capability
• Less field visits for operations and maintenance
• Centralized real-time information and thereby timely
corrective action
• Dual field device connection using the same Wireless
Gateway RER601/603 device (Ethernet port can also be
used for local device connectivity. With a separate switch
there can be several Ethernet devices connected)
• Optimizing the cost of communication
• Wireless Gateway RER603 also includes an I/O extension
(8BI/2BO) for additional connectivity

wireless (GPRS) network interface technology
• Easy to read LED display for status monitoring
• Integration of existing devices into a modern control system
with field proven products
• Use of the IEC 60870-5-104 event-based communication
instead of polling
• Secure communication maintained with internal VPN and
Firewall
• Mobile operator independent static IP addressing with an
M2M Gateway (available as an accessory)
• Support for Patrol communication status monitoring and
diagnostics application
• Self diagnostics of communication, as well as for the device
itself
• Packet compression for slow-speed links
• Serves as IEC 60870-5-104 to IEC 60870-5-101
communication gateway
• Local IEC 60870-5-101 polling of Class 1 and Class 2
events
• One RS-232 and one RS-232/422/485 port (for IEC
60870-5-101 device). These ports can also be used in a
transparent mode.
• Ultra-high reliability
• Robust aluminium casing design for easy DIN rail mounting

3. Inputs and outputs / Physical interfaces
The Wireless Gateway RER601/603 are equipped with
numerous communication connection possibilities to manage
control operations that are communicated via the wireless
(GPRS) capabilities of the devices connected to it.

Wireless Gateway RER603 has 8 binary inputs for monitoring
and alarms, and 2 binary outputs for control functions.
The Wireless Gateway RER601/603 also has two serial ports
(with DIP switches for serial port hardware configuration
(RS-232 vs. 485 etc.) and an Ethernet connector for
communication and data transfer. Also there is a SIM card
insertion slot with SIM card tray and antenna connector.
The status of the operational system is shown by various
groupings of LED light indicators. More detailed information
can be sourced via the supported WebHMI.
LED panel description
The LED panel of the device contains ten LEDs which are
used to indicate the complete operational status of the
device. The LEDs are numbered from 1 to 10 starting from
the antenna panel side.

4. Communication
The Wireless Gateways RER601/603 have wireless
functionality that allows the use of wireless applications within
the customer defined operator’s network. High-speed
wireless data transfer speed can be supported if needed,
however the practical data transfer rates depend on the
subscription details and wireless network capacity and
bandwidth.
Operating within these wireless networks (GPRS/GSM) the
Wireless Gateways RER601/603 may utilize the supported
communication protocols. This offers flexibility in system
design, allowing users to develop solutions for their own
applications with high data availability and reliability. The
devices are designed to withstand the operational
requirements of most secondary substation environments and
offer industrial quality connectivity devices for the IEC 60870
protocol family. The IEC 60870 protocol family is a vendor-
independent communication standard for the power
distribution industry.
Additionally, with the Wireless Gateways RER601/603
conventional IEC 60870-5-101 devices can be attached to a
modern TCP/IP based IEC 60870-5-104 control system.
Ethernet and GPRS/GSM data network interfaces provide a
seamless communication solution for most of the applications.
IEC 60870-5-104 is used to communicate towards a SCADA
via an approved M2M Gateway (available from ABB) over the
available customer chosen GPRS/GSM data network. In the
opposite direction IEC 60870-5-101 can be used to
communicate with the devices in the field via the serial ports.
This communication can also be done using the Ethernet port
and a RJ-45 cable between the controlled device and the
Wireless Gateways RER601/603.
The Wireless Gateways RER601/603 have two application
serial ports. Serial port 1 is configurable to either console or
data mode and supports only RS-232, while serial port 2 is
configurable to multiple serial modes (RS-232/422/485).
Serial port connectors are 9-pin D-sub (male) connectors.
