Enable Data Exchange Easily

Offering a wide protocol coverage and easy integration, the IXXAT SG-gateways focus on applications requiring a connection between the IEC61850 or IEC60870-5-104 protocols and popular industrial, building, and metering standards such as Modbus RTU (master/slave), Modbus-TCP (client/server), PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, M-Bus, along with digital I/O’s.

In addition to data transmission via Ethernet, the SG-gateways offer data transmission via 3G modem. Flexible use in a wide range of emerging applications, the SG-gateways are ideal for all applications using the IEC61850 or IEC60870-5-104 protocol, and where users want to achieve straight-forward remote control, efficient electrical system management, or easy access to application and power consumption data. The SG-gateways can be used to connect SCADA systems with industrial devices and machines in the field, serve as gateways between individual power producers and energy management software in Virtual Power Plants (VPP) and demand-response applications, or as means to enable a connection from IEDs (Intelligent Electrical Devices) to PLC systems from various automation vendors.

Furthermore, the SG-gateways are fitting for water/wastewater management, within district heating and gas networks. Special focus on easy integration and configuration, the SG-gateways are easily configured and programmed using the WEB-PLC-Tool, a PLC software with a web-based programming interface. With the graphical editor of the WEB-PLC, function diagrams can be processed intuitively and quickly – similar to the well-known CFCs (Continuous Function Charts). Thanks to 1/2 a powerful 32-bit processor platform, the SG-gateway can process up to 8192 variables. As a result, the gateway can be used without restrictions in complex systems with a multiple of signals and messages, as well as a high data throughput. SG-gateways form the core of new IXXAT Energy portfolio.
