Ixxat Smart Grid gateway I/O

Energy Smart Grid Gateway with I/O, Modbus, IEC61850 & IEC60870-5-104

The SG-gateway with I/O interface is a remote terminal unit and Smart Grid gateway for the energy market with four digital inputs and four digital outputs for monitoring and controlling the connected devices.

The Ixxat SG-gateway supports the communication protocols used in the energy sector, e.g. IEC60870-5-104 and IEC61850.
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.

Features and Benefits

  • Easy way to transport I/O data from electrical equipment in the field to SCADA systems
  • Connects intelligent electrical devices (IEDs) with IEC protocols to automation systems
  • Connects machines to PLC’s and Virtual Power Plant / Demand Response companies
