Power automation requires a complicated
and sophisticated architecture. As a result, system integrators
and software developers need optimal solutions that can withstand
tough conditions. These solutions require powerful controllers with
multiple serial ports for legacy device connection. They must also
perform front-end tasks, such as data acquisition, numerical computing,
data distribution, and remote device monitoring and management.
Network redundancy is also essential to ensure the continuous system
operation of power automation applications. In addition, the effects
of extreme temperature fluctuations must be overcome to maintain
system stability.
Power Plant
The DA-681 and DA-662-I embedded
computers are communication and protocol gateways that handle multiple
devices running different protocols for front-end data computing
and protocol conversion.
IEC 61850-3 Substation
The DA-681 is an embedded computer that serves as a communication processor and uses gateway protocol to handle multiple devices, which use different protocols for front-end data computing and protocol conversions. With IEC 61850-3 certification, the DA-681 is capable of providing protection against electrical surges, EMI, and other environmental threats. The DA-681 can also serve as a backend communication host and central controller for data analysis, processing, and transmission back to the control center.
Fault Recording
The DA-660 series communication embedded computers provide uninterrupted communication for data recovery. In the event of an accident, users can still retrieve their records, which are safely stored on the DA-660 computer. In addition, the DA-660 series also serves as a protocol converter.
Automatic Meter Reading
The W325, IA240 series, and IA260
series embedded computers store metering data, convert it from proprietary
protocols to the standard protocols used by the automation system,
perform front-end computing, and then transmit the data to central
servers wirelessly.
