SMP 16/CP Intelligent Substation Gateway

Setting the Standard

The SMP 16/CP Gateway is the ideal first step in a substation automation project. As our entry-level solution, it supports redundancy, contains advanced automation functions and includes strong security features—all in the same box.

• Supports up to 128 devices, 64 control centers and 10 000 data points per system
• Advanced architecture reduces component count
• Optional built-in GPS clock
  

Setting the Standard in Substation Communications

Cooper Power Systems' SMP Gateways bridge the gap between substations and the people who maintain, engineer and plan the future of the enterprise:

• Extract and concentrate data from any device, regardless of protocol
• Send data to SCADA, control centers and enterprise applications
• Automate data processing and device control
• Passthrough to any device

Features

The SMP 16/CP supports all the basic functions of the original SMP gateway in a new and improved packaging.

With its field-proven software, its 2 Ethernet and 16 universal RS-232/422/485 serial ports, the SMP 16/CP is a cost-effective communications processor for projects that do not require the advanced expansion capabilities of the SMP 16/SG gateway. It is the perfect first step in any substation automation project.

• Upgrade legacy RTUs—Preserve your investment. Use the SMP 16/CP to connect your existing RTUs to new control centers, using modern control center protocols
• Add new IEDs—Use the SMP 16/CP to integrate new digital devices such as protection relays, PLCs or IEDs. Make device data available to both new control centers and existing legacy control centers
• Connect to the WAN—Use the SMP 16/CP to integrate both legacy and modern serial devices into the corporate WAN
• Perform remote device maintenance and configuration—Use the SMP 16/CP to remotely access any device's maintenance port
• Access non-operational data—Use the SMP 16/CP to automatically retrieve fault, event and disturbance recordings. Provide a single point of access for non-operational data

The SMP 16/CP gateway comes with a complete set of Microsoft Windows based maintenance and configuration tools. These tools are easy to use and offer both local and remote access to the SMP configuration, security settings, log files, communication traces, and system statistics.

The SMP Substation Gateway is a family of substation-grade intelligent devices designed to integrate both existing and new RTUs, IEDs, PLCs and control centers into a single homogeneous automation system.

The SMP 16/CP communications processor provides the following functions:

• Protocol Translator—Convert standard or proprietary device protocols to control center protocols such as DNP3, IEC 60870-5-101/103/104 or IEC 61850 (UCA 2.0): one-to-one, one-to-many or many-to-many
• Data Concentrator—Collect data from all substation devices, regardless of protocol, and make it available to control centers and the local HMI, using LAN, WAN or serial connections
• Terminal Server / Serial Port Switch—Use the SMP 16/CP to connect to substation devices for remote maintenance, monitoring and control
• Automation Processor—Replace dedicated PLCs and perform local data processing using the built-in automation functions or the IEC-6113-compatible Soft PLC
• Hardware and software redundancy—Group two SMP 16/CP to provide redundant fail-safe operation. Cooper Power Systems’ advanced software also supports redundant network connections, redundant devices and redundant control center connections

The SMP 16/CP communications processor comes with a complete set of Microsoft Windows-based maintenance and configuration tools. These tools are easy to use and offer both local and remote access to the SMP configuration, security settings, log files, communication traces, and system statistics.

Benefits

Provide a Single Point of Access

• Create a homogenous system with a single entry point for each substation
• Manage, maintain and configure your substation equipment remotely
• Extract non-operational data for planning, maintenance, engineering, and fault analysis

Upgrade Your Substations without Having to Replace RTUs

• Integrate existing and legacy RTUs, IEDs, PLCs, as well as multiple control centers
• The SMP Gateway acts as an interpreter that serves data from any equipment, to any SCADA or control center
• Add new network technologies and protocols without sacrificing data or legacy devices
• Universal ports let you connect any serial device to any serial port

Automate! Add Intelligent Controls to Your Substation Equipment

Create sophisticated automation scripts such as load shedding and reconnection management, data grouping, and generator control.

Extend the capabilities of legacy devices with sophisticated functions such as analog, binary and grouped controls or input latching.

Strengthen Cyber-Security

• Prepare for NERC CIP compliance with the SMP Gateway’s security features
• Enforce NERC-compliant password complexity & port control
• Protect data flows with the SMP Gateway’s built-in firewall and VPN server

Work With the Experts

We have been designing and installing substation gateways for decades. 25 years and thousands of installed systems later, our solutions are not only rugged and reliable, but adapted to our client’s needs. Our SMP Gateway is both field-proven and operator-proven: it includes user-friendly configuration tools that take the pain out of upgrading a substation.

You Can Depend On It

Our products are as reliable as they are easy to setup and configure. The SMP Gateway family comes with Window-based maintenance and configurations tools for remote or local access to configuration, settings, logs and statistics.
