Selling Policy 25-000 - Distribution and Control Products and Services
Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS485 enables seamless integration with existing SCADA and EMS systems, reducing wiring complexity and enabling remote diagnostics. This capability improves uptime by enabling centralized alerting and fast fault isolation across feeders. Typical application areas include industrial plants, data centers, and distribution feeders in utility substations. The wide power supply range of 19-300 VDC and 40-250 VAC, along with 50/60 Hz operation, minimizes panel redesigns and simplifies installation, reducing project risk and labor costs. With 16 inputs and 11 outputs, engineers can configure protective schemes without external relays, delivering tighter protection coordination and metering direct from the device. Conformal coating on circuit boards extends reliability in challenging environments, while removable terminals speed field wiring and commissioning. Projection mounting and IRIG-B Trip Coil Monitor options support flexible, scalable deployments.
