Edge Partner Ecosystem

ABB is a technology leader in electrification and automation, enabling a more sustainable and resource-efficient future. The company’s solutions connect engineering know-how and software to optimize how things are manufactured, moved, powered and operated. Building on more than 130 years of excellence, ABB’s 105,000 employees are committed to driving innovations that accelerate industrial transformation.

The ABB Ability™ Electrification Monitoring and Control for distribution networks, ZEE600 fulfills the role of a seamless integrator of diverse devices such as ABB and 3rd party make protection relays, meters, substation equipment condition monitoring units, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) and Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), deployed in digital electrification solutions.

In doing so, it harnesses their real-time, near-real time and diagnostics data to facilitate digitalization objectives set by the customer across diverse segment domains.

While fully supporting predominant communication standards deployed are IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5 and Modbus-TCP across electrification automation systems across the world, the ZEE600 also supports standards like DNP, Profinet, Profibus and other open or proprietary protocols. 

It also supports IEC 62349 Parallel-Redundancy Protocol (PRP) to handle and resolve identical communication messages from two separate LAN networks.

The ZEE600 SoftPLC enables execution of near-real time or non-real time applications, such as interlock checks or calculations, and communicating the calculated data to target systems.

It helps realize system integration in Electrification Control System (ECS) solutions and can be deployed in a mix of brownfield and greenfield installations in primary and secondary distribution substations across utilities, industries, infrastructure and renewable segments.
