Overview

SYNC 2000 Secure Substation Gateways are rugged and secure devices ideal for substation automation and gateway applications. This security hardened gateway supports more than 40+ utility protocols with many to many protocol conversions of telemetry data. Substation gateway functionality has evolved to include protocol conversion combined with a security check point. Access to substation data is protected with a built-in firewall, secure role-based access control, security event logging, encrypted communications mandatory for a highly secured utility network. Additional features such as fault file collection and storage, local web-based monitoring and a built-in logic engine enables use of the platform for enhanced and decentralized automation applications.
