Connex 30 substation controller

The Connex 30 addresses the needs of high-performance, large database capacity data concentrator and protocol converter applications. It has the additional ability to process a vast amount of data from IEDs, and to interface a large number of discrete data acquisition and control devices in the substation. DIN rail-mounting the local I/O modules in a 19-inch rack or NEMA 4 wall-mounted cabinet makes the Connex 30 an ideal substation system solution for medium to large transmission or distribution substation or power plant applications.

Design Features
  • 19" rack-mount card file(s); front/rear plug-in expansion modules (meets IEEE 1101/11 and 1011.10 3-U standard)
  • Distributed processing architecture; multiple 32-bit microprocessors, linked using a peer-to-peer type network
  • Multiple Virtual RTU database mapping
  • Multiple master and IED isolated serial communication interfaces (configurable per port for RS–232C to external modems or fiber optics, or RS–485 for copper)

Application and expansion

The Connex 30 can be used in a traditional centralized equipment rack or a floor– or wall–mounted cabinet, and expanded if and when the substation grows. It can communicate with one or more master stations, exchanging separate data subsets with each one. It can also serve as a substation/power plant master to a distributed substation system.
