saTECH SCU

121 Series

A COMPACT SOLUTION FOR

SUBSTATION MONITORING

APPLICATION
 Gateway for obtaining and processing data from all IEDs and for the transmission to control centres.
 It supports simple and redundant configurations.
 It facilitates the integration of all substation IEDs, whether they are next-generation ones or existing IEDs
with conventional protocols.

 Simple System SCU Architecture  Dual System SCU Architecture

BENEFITS
 Native design in accordance with IEC 61850 standard, which allows for advanced monitoring strategies at
the Digital Substation.
 It facilitates the current and future coexistence of monitoring systems, allowing for the interoperability of
traditional protocols (DNP3.0, IEC 60870-5-104, Modbus) with IEC-61850 standard.
 Robust and powerful hardware that complies with the strictest international standards for operation in
Electrical Substations: IEC 61850-3, IEEE 1613, CE, FCC class A, UL, CCC.
