Digital Teleprotection

TZ-600
Teleprotection Signalling Equipment

Easy to use
TZ-600 user interface is very intuitive and easy to handle. Its
modular structure compromises several modules such as
power supply, universal input-output, central processing
unit (including graphical display and control buttons), line
unit and teleprotection diagnostics unit. Hereby the joystick
buttons on the device front panel help the operator to easily
handle the menu. All modules are equipped with LED lights
to ease displaying the monitored states.

Monitoring and Configuring using a standard PC

TZ-600 is easy and fast to install. It is configurable using a
standard PC connected via USB interface. Since any terminal
program, for example HyperTerminal, can be used for
communication with the device, there is no need for
additional configuration software.

The TZ-600 supervision software can access the TZ-600

equipment via Ethernet network. Within the TZ-600 equip-
ment two kinds of databases are generated: the status and

IMP-Telecommunications. It enables information exchange
between the ends of protected power lines merging all
crucial requirements for teleprotection devices – short trans-
mission time (<10 ms, typically 2 – 4 ms when using optical
fiber links), high dependability, security and availability.
These parameters are essential for the proper operation of
the teleprotection system.

Teleprotection over different medium and communica-

tion technologies
TZ-600 enables transfer up to 8 independent protection
signals for distance protection via optical fiber links (favorite
medium, diagram I), shared communication links (diagram II)
or telecommunication network (both via E12 interface,
diagram III). TZ-600 can be used in direct tripping, permissive
tripping or blocking application schemes.
