Diagnostics

 The gateway configuration file can be stored on an optional removable 1GB industrial SD

card. This allows for rapid disaster recovery by moving the SD card from a failed gateway to

a replacement gateway.

 Extensive diagnostics for the gateway and for both Modbus TCP/IP and IEC-61850 networks

are available via the configuration utility.

Import Configured IED files

 All IED data attributes are available for convenient mapping to Modbus registers.

Modbus TCP/IP Client/Server

support

 Enables multiple Modbus TCP/IP devices or SCADA devices to interface with IEC-61850

devices simultaneously.

configuration files to import complex IEC 61850 data structures. The utility

creates Variable files and Function Block files for import into Unity Pro projects

for Quantum or M340 processors.

IEC 61850 is the international standard that defines the hardware and
