Ixxat Smart Grid gateway Ethernet/IP

Energy Smart Grid Gateway with Ethernet/IP, Modbus, IEC61850 & IEC60870-5-104

The SG-gateway is a Smart Grid gateway with EtherNet/IP implemented as a real-time EtherNet/IP adapter interface with an integrated 2-port switch, allowing seamless network integration regardless of network topology (line, star, bus).

The Ixxat SG-gateway supports the communication protocols used in the energy sector, e.g. IEC60870-5-104 and IEC61850 and enables connectivity for energy devices to EtherNet/IP-based automation systems.
The gateway can also support the connected electric equipment in the field, via an Ethernet interface and/or a serial port, using the protocols Modbus TCP and RTU. As an option, the SG-gateway can include 3G modem.

Smart grid applications

The Ixxat SG-gateway is designed to specifically target Demand Response (networking of industrial electric loads) and Virtual Power Plants (networking of energy resources like biogas plants or combined heat and power units) applications and all applications requiring to bridge between energy and industrial automation communication systems.
