Based on IEC 61850-3, a standard for the design of electrical substation automation, which defines communication between all Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED) and other related equipment from the process level (data acquisition, sensors and actuators) to the bay level (protection, monitoring and control tasks) and up to station level (HMI/SCADA).
Advantech’s ECU-4784 Series can operate as a smart substation station level communication server, a HMI/SCADA workstation, a remote control station, a cyber security server, and an environment status monitoring station. System integrators can thereby design an optimized digital substation while allowing energy operators to deliver electricity which is more secure, reliable, economical, and efficient.
Advantech’s ECU-4784 Series are certified by IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 to meet the harsh and critical requirements in smart grid automation. It provides high performance and reliable functionality to meet the most critical computing applications and reduces project deployment and maintenance costs. It supports remote monitoring and diagnosis for remote device connectivity to enhance management and maintenance efficiency. It is easy to expand domain I/O with its modular design, and protects the system to meet the critical security application requirements. High-performance Platforms for Power and Energy Automation Applications
- High computing performance processors to meet the most critical computing applications with VT-D, which can run multiple software applications. Energy operators can leverage virtual machine (VM) resources on the ECU-4784 to reduce project deployment costs.
- Highly integrated all in one server platform to enhance smart substation level deployment efficiency by integrating HMI visualization, monitoring, and control with data concentrator and protocol converter to accomplish all station level tasks. Normally, these functions would be implemented by different data collection gateways and SCADA workstations. Certification for Robust and Reliable Systems IEC-61850-3 and IEEE 1613 certification stands for the highest reliability, which means products are made to withstand vibration, electrical surges, fast transients, and extreme temperatures.
- ECU-4784 Series supports TUV IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 certification, ECU4784 has higher standards than other embedded automation controllers and contributes to higher reliability and stability. This makes it suitable for any global P&E automation applications in harsh environments.
- ECU-4784 Series is designed for applications in substations where it is subjected to certain electric interference. Equipped with isolated power, isolated communication ports, ECU-4784 Series has high resistance adainst electrical noise and is proven in substation applications. Easy to Diagnose System with Enhanced Maintenance Efficiency.
- Remotely monitor, diagnose and manage systems to provide high system maintenance efficiency. Use AMT (built in remote KVM) to quickly access a remote device’s desktop for diagnosis and troubleshooting without on-site technical support. Easy to Expand Domain I/O Through Functional Modules.
- Combined with two domain I/O slots to extend more rich data collection and application variety.
- Integrated functional module design is convenient for wiring, installation, and maintenance.
