Features
The SMP 16/SG Intelligent Substation Gateway is the latest in Cooper Power Systems' 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/SG intelligent substation gateway adds intelligence to existing substation equipment:
Upgrade legacy RTUs—Preserve your investment. Use the SMP 16/SG to connect your existing RTUs to new control centers, using modern control center protocols
Add new IEDs—Use the SMP 16/SG 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 new control center—se the SMP 16/SG to make data available to new SCADA, EMS, engineering or maintenance control centers
Connect to the WAN - Use the SMP 16/SG to integrate both legacy and modern serial devices into the corporate WAN
Perform remote device maintenance and configuration—Use the SMP 16/SG to remotely access any device's maintenance port
Access non-operational data—Use the SMP 16/SG to automatically retrieve fault, event and disturbance recordings. Provide a single point of access for non-operational data
The SMP 16/SG 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 16/SG is the most advanced model in the SMP family of products. It supports all the advanced functions of the original SMP gateway in a new and improved hardware platform, with extensive expansion capabilities.
With its field-proven software, its 2 Ethernet and 16 universal RS-232/422/485 serial ports, and extensive expansion capabilities, the SMP 16/SG is the perfect communications and automation platform for any substation automation project.
Cooper Power systems' SMP Gateway family of products is the field-proven solution to building a modern automation system, in a Step-by-Step manner, with minimal risk and downtime:
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/SG to connect to any substation device 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-61131-compatible Soft PLC
Hardware and software redundancy—Group two SMP 16/SG to provide redundant fail-safe operation. Cooper Power Systems' advanced software also supports redundant network connections, redundant devices and redundant slave connections
