* Horizontal communication to IEDs via GOOSE and Vertical communication via MMS for standard data objects and SoE for breaker and switch commands.

Benefits

  • Reduced electrical infrastructure costs

  • Centralized engineering

  • Suitable solution for small projects or small substations

  • Broad communication capabilities for optimized control

Need additional functionalities?

  • Alarm and events with SoE (Sequence of Events)

  • Remote maintenance and parameterization

  • Automatic upload of disturbance record files

** No Power Management applications possible without AC 800M controller

Additional benefits

  • Increased availability through predictive maintenance

  • Increased safety for maintenance people

  • Efficient trouble shooting

  • Reduced automation infrastructure cost

Need additional functionalities?

  • Power Management applications: load shedding; active and reactive power control; busbar synchronization

  • Remote operation and supervision

  • Remote maintenance and parameterization

Additional benefits
