If you’re still using NTP, IRIG-B, or other protocols that fail to provide time accuracy down to the nanosecond level, you’re probably spending more time and money than you need on synchronizing your substation automation system (SAS). These outdated solutions generally require engineers to set up and maintain a separate and dedicated network to synchronize all the nodes in the power grid. The advent of Ethernet-enabled IEDs, merging units (MUs), and protection devices has prompted substation engineers to look to Ethernet protocols for new ways to synchronize their networks.

Hilscher consolidates the position of the netTAP 100 gateway in the asian market with the release of the CC-Link Slave protocol. Conversions to PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, SERCOS III, POWERLINK, Ethernet/IP, CANopen und DeviceNet are available. Whether it is slave-to-slave or master-to-slave conversion, the protocols are loadable to the gateway any possible combination. Read on for more details in the product section netTAP on the gateway pages NT 100-RE-CC, NT 100-DP-CC, NT 100-CO-CC oder NT 100-DN-CC. Industrial plants today, from the office level to the sensor/actuator level are controlled ...

AS-INTERFACE POWER24V offers the cost-effective start to the entrance into the world of automation   AS-i Power24V is an extension of the AS-i specification, in which the AS-i rated voltage is reduced to 24 V . AS-Interface is usually operated with rated voltage DC 30 V. An AS-i power supply (e.g. 3RX9501-2BA00) incorporates, besides the 30 V voltage supply, a so called data decoupling circuit which is required for the AS-i data transfer on the AS-i cable. Using an AS-i power supply, one can connect AS-i master and AS-i slaves ...

Article Summary As part of a continuing effort to make their organizations more efficient and productive, manufacturers are rapidly migrating to Industrial Ethernet technology. This standards-based technology enables organizations to control costs by moving from costly proprietary systems to a proven technology that is more secure, reliable, and deterministic. This white paper provides an overview of Ethernet technology and its benefits in the data networking environment. It discusses the benefits of using a switched Ethernet architecture in industrial networking environments, including: *Determinism *Latency *Minimal packet loss *Broadcasts and multicast support *Network ...
