Customer Benefits
Modular RTU for electrical substations
requiring large capacities
IEDs and Sub-RTUs concentrator
SCADA interfaces with serial and Ethernet
protocols
A step for a smooth transition to Digital
Control Systems
LCD graphical display for user-friendly
local control, monitoring, and maintenance
Expandable design with single or multiple
racks architectures
High availability and reliability with
redundant communication facilities
Sophisticated remote terminal unit for
substation control, monitoring, distributed
IEDs data concentration and gateway
communication with SCADAs.
The MiCOM C264-R combines the usual RTUs features with the benefits
of fast Ethernet communication. Its intrinsic high-performance is further
expanded through the modular I/Os acquisition racks. This up to date
design helps the user to simplify the engineering and installation, improve
reliability and quality as well as increase efficiency through space and cost
reductions in wiring, testing, maintenance and management. The MiCOM
C264-R offers natively an on-board 100Mb Ethernet communication for
SCADA communication, simple maintenance access and the connection
of many I/Os acquisition racks. This is in addition of the serial ports for
every application using multiple standard protocols. Each port is able to
communicate with a protocol including IEC60870-5-103, IEC 60870-5-101,
MODBUS, DNP3.0, or with a SOE serial printer. The MiCOM C264-R with
high-performance, large capacity, expandable is well adapted for turnkey
applications as well as retrofit installations. MiCOM C264-R is also to be
considered as a step on the way of Digital Control Systems.
Field of application
The MiCOM C264-R modular Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) provides a
powerful solution for SCADA communication, Sequence of Event Recorder
(SER), and can be integrated to digital substation control systems. It is
designed for a wide range of applications:
Electrical utility
Transmission and distribution substations
Power Plant substations
Industry
Process control, including manufacturing, transit, telecommunications,
testing, etc...
Oil and gas, including pipelines
Water and wastewater
Transportation electrical supervision and control
Railways
Airport
