Gateways are rugged communication devices collecting numerous data, such as metering, status, events and fault report from any protection device while sending this information upstream to a control center, transfering commands issued from the control center to other devices. One example of a particular need for gateways is in the energy industry. The energy industry requires specific types of devices using specific protocols. With PLCs/PACs becoming popular in these applications, gateways has grown into a necessary part of Substation Automation Systems, and its reliability may affect the safety of whole system at a station level.

(1)Security Redundancy

Integrating TPM module, operating systems can require an authentication to protect keys, data or systems.

(3)Rich communication Interface

In advantage of SCH400 diverse I/O, 4 x LAN(RJ45), 2 x COM(DB9), 6 x USB,   2 x DP, 1 x VGA, 1 x DVI-D, the SCH400 system can satisfy all our clients.

(5)IEC-61850-3

The standardization of IEC-61850 enables the integration of the equipment and systems from different suppliers, reducing the burden on the configuration and maintenance of these systems. The protocol also meets utilities’ requirements for long-term system expandability. Thus, there are more and more electric companies perform power-system automation by using IEC-61850 protocol with Intelligent electronic devices (IED)

(7)Network Redundancy

PRP/HSR network will be required as an efficient and cost effective solution in order to construct a seamless/bumpless communication infrastructure to ensure maximum system availability.
