Description
Functional Architecture (Field View)
REC650 behaves like three systems in one cabinet:
- Control layer: breaker + isolator control, interlocking logic, local/remote operation
- Protection layer: backup OC, EF, voltage, frequency, breaker failure
- Station layer: IEC 61850 communication, GOOSE, SCADA integration
In retrofit projects, engineers often replace multiple electromechanical relays + interposing relays with one REC650 bay unit to reduce wiring density and simplify logic verification.
Key Technical Specifications (practical view)
- Platform: Relion 650 series bay control IED
- Communication: IEC 61850 (GOOSE, MMS), legacy SCADA protocols depending on option
- Protection functions: OC (50/51), EF (50N/51N), voltage (27/59), frequency (81), breaker failure (50BF)
- Control functions: CB, disconnector, earthing switch interlocking
- HMI: graphical local interface with configurable SLD
- Event recording: disturbance and event logs with millisecond resolution
- Installation: withdrawable plug-in modular design (panel mount)
- Supply: 48–250 V DC (typical substation auxiliary range, verify exact variant)
