Network automation doesn't mean reduced performance
By Donna DonnowitzDecember 17, 2013
Efficiency, reliability and security are still major priorities for energy providers, and by implementing high-quality smart grid technologies and the supporting hardware, such as serial to Ethernet converters, firms can improve the control they have over their grid to meet these operational needs without affecting the performance of the network. This will allow the implementation of automation seamlessly and effectively.
Perle offers a range of cost effective serial-to-Ethernet converters to help meet NERC-CIP compliance for the protection of critical cyberassets in substations. The IOLAN SDS HV/LDC Terminal Server is designed to meet harsh environments associated with Power Substations with attributes such as support for substation AC and DC voltage ranges, extended operating temperatures and meeting emission, immunity and safety approvals associated with substation IT equipment.
