2. Overview GUID-300360E0-8897-4ACA-A73C-3BF75903163E v2
SAM600 process bus I/O system is a modular, extensible,
and customizable product solution that converts signals
from the primary analog process to its digital counterpart
according to the IEC 61850 standard.

The product is designed for both AIS and GIS applications.

It can be beneficially applied to secondary system upgrades
as well as new substation installations, thus integrating
seamlessly with modern sensor technology.

SAM600 optimally tailors to different applications, is

prepared for placement in harsh outdoor setups and can be
deployed in a stepwise manner in marshalling kiosks close
to primary apparatus, or in existing secondary system
protection and control panels.

with focus on adaptability to different application types,
easy installation and maintenance for integration into
existing secondary systems or for new installations.

• A SAM600 module per primary apparatus interfaces

conventional current or voltage transformers and provides
SAMU functionality according to the IEC 61850-9-2
standard.
• DIN-rail mountable SAM600 modules with a compact form
factor can be placed close to the primary apparatus.
SAM600 modules support operating temperature ranges
between -40°C to +70°C.
• Each SAM600 module terminates main signals from the
process (for example, voltages and currents), as well as
auxiliary signals (fuse failure and test switch indication),
thus avoiding cross-wiring and simplifying replacement
and maintenance activities.
• SAM600 modules can be chained into a SAM600 system
in order to scale the specific needs of the installation in
terms of analog interfaces, communication ports, and time
synchronization capabilities needed, supporting IEC
62439-3 PRP and HSR communications.
• A SAM600-TS module can bridge IEC 61850-9-2 traffic
for simplifying integration with non-conventional
instrument transformers.
• SAM600 provides time synchronization according to IEEE
1588 (according to profile IEC/IEEE 61850-9-3) as well as
1PPS (both inputs and outputs).
