SOPHISTICATED REMOTE TERMINAL UNIT FOR
SUBSTATION CONTROL, MONITORING, DISTRIBUTED IEDS
DATA CONCENTRATION AND GATEWAY COMMUNICATION
WITH SCADAS.
The MiCOM C264-R combines the usual RTUs features with
the benefits of fast Ethernet communication. Its intrinsic
high-performance is further expanded through the modular
I/Os acquisition racks. This up to date design helps the
user to simplify the engineering and installation, improve
reliability and quality as well as increase efficiency through
space and cost reductions in wiring, testing, maintenance
and management.
The MiCOM C264-R offers natively an on-board 100Mb
Ethernet communication for SCADA communication, simple
maintenance access and the connection of many I/Os
acquisition racks. This is in addition of the serial ports for
every application using multiple standard protocols. Each
port is able to communicate with a protocol including
IEC60870-5-103, IEC 60870-5-101, MODBUS, DNP3.0, or
with a SOE serial printer.
The MiCOM C264-R with high-performance, large capacity,
expandable is well adapted for turnkey applications as well
as retrofit installations. MiCOM C264-R is also to be
considered as a step on the way of Digital Control Systems.
FIELD OF APPLICATION
