using REM615 with the standard configuration C. To prevent possible power system
instability due to busbar voltage collapse, the simultaneous starting of several motors
is inhibited. The motor start-up signal from each REM615 is connected to the “Restart-
inhibit” inputs of the other REM615s. Hence while one motor is starting-up, the
starting of the other motors is inhibited. The same motor start-up signal is also used
to dynamically increase the setting level of the lowest O/C protection stage of the

1)
Serial communication using glass fibre (ST) cannot be
combined with arc protection.
2)
The communication card includes an RS-485 connector and
an input for IRIG-B.

In addition to a serial communication option for station bus communication to gateways

and SCADA systems, an Ethernet communication option can be chosen. This enables the
use of an Ethernet based service bus for PCM600 and the WebHMI. However, this
requires that an Ethernet communication option is chosen in addition to the serial
communication (digit #10 = RJ-45 or LC).

The arc protection hardware is located on the

module is always required to enable arc protection. Note
that arc protection cannot be combined with serial communication
