Digitalization is a transformative ongoing process with significant benefits for the energy sector. Power substations, the backbone of energy distribution networks, now demand more than ever agile and intelligent communication capabilities. Traditional systems struggle to keep pace with the rapid evolution of the energy landscape. In response, Baufarm, a leader in Substation Automation Engineering, is thrilled to announce a collaboration with MiTwell, introducing Industrial PV Gateways and Modbus Communication Gateways.
This innovative solution revolutionizes operations, enabling efficient management of diverse power sources with varying voltage levels while maintaining overall system stability.
Our Compact Communication Gateways adhere to the IEC-61850 standard, establishing a standardized communication protocol and data model. This ensures interoperability and streamlines engineering processes, contributing to the overall efficiency and reliability of the energy sector.
Unlike typical Modbus gateways, ours excels in retaining and transmitting data during net-work disruptions. It collects information from power equipment via Modbus/RTU, converts it to Modbus/TCP for monitoring system storage, and utilizes a "Store and Forward" mecha-nism for temporary retention until confirmed receipt. The built-in small-scale database can store information for more than 5 days.
Designed with a focus on space efficiency, our compact communication gateways measure a compact 99 x 92 x 63 mm. They seamlessly integrate into existing substations, overcoming spatial constraints without extensive modifications.
Cybersecurity is paramount. Our gateways incorporate robust security measures, providing secure communication channels and access control mechanisms to safeguard against potential cyber threats.
Prepared for the future, our gateways seamlessly adapt to changes in Intel platform genera-tions. Supported by MiTwell, the embedded solution provider, upgrading systems from the widely adopted Gen 9 Apollo Lake platform to the latest Gen 12 Alder Lake is effortless. This upgrade significantly boosts performance up to 2.47 times, ensuring substations remain at the forefront of technological advancements.
The gateway supports a wide array of prevalent industrial control and power equipment communication formats, including:
A. DNP 3.0/RTU Master/Slave and DNP 3.0 Client/Server
B. Modbus/RTU Master/Slave and Modbus/TCP Client/Server
C. Optional support for OPC Client/Server
D. Optional support for SPABUS
E. Optional support for IEC 61850 Ed1/Ed2 Client/Server
