ProSoft Technology's EtherNet/IP to IEC 61850

ProSoft Technology's EtherNet/IP to IEC 61850 gateway enables communication between the Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) on an IEC- 61850 network and Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs) on an EtherNet/IP network.The module operates as an EtherNet/IP server, supporting both Class 1 and Class 3 EtherNet/IP services. Primary data transfer is performed through a Class 1 server connection supporting up to 10 Implicit I/O connections.

Additionally the module can also communicate with up to 2 other EtherNet/IP Clients using Class 3 messaging services. The gateway’s IEC 61850 Client is responsible for obtaining data from up to 20 IED devices on a 61850 network (servers). The network configuration software uses IED configuration files to import complex IEC 61850 data structures and allow this information to be mapped into a RSLogix 5000 based ControlLogix
or CompactLogix PAC.

Features

Benefits

Configuration Utility Integrates Tightly with RSLogix 5000
  • Application-specific User Defined Data types and Add-On Instruction files are automatically generated.
  • Users are not required to develop communication logic or tag structures in their PAC projects.

Configuration Archive and Diagnostics
  • The gateway configuration file is stored in an 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 EtherNet/IP and IEC 61850 networks are available via the configuration utility.

Import Configured IED files
  • All IED data attributes are available for convenient mapping.

EtherNet/IP protocol interface
  • Class 1 Implicit I/O server with up to 10 Generic Ethernet I/O connections
  • Up to 2 additional Class 3 server connection

IEC-61850 Protocol Interface
  • Standards-based identification of device types simplifies implementation and maintenance
  • Map up to 20 61850 IEDs to one gateway
