EC 61850 places special requirements on network components: depending on the installation location, extremely high environmental requirements must be met which are specified in IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613. The new switches, media converters, and redundancy modules meet these requirements and ensure a high level of availability for the automation of energy systems.

 

Your advantages

  • Can be used under the harshest electromagnetic, electrostatic, and climatic environmental conditions, thanks to IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 conformance
  • Reliable, error-free data transmission over long distances, thanks to fiber optic technology
  • High port density and can be mounted side by side to minimize space required in the control cabinet
  • Extensive investment security, thanks to interoperable products according to IEC 61850 and IEEE network standards
  • Implement high-availability networks easily: no delays or loss of packets in the event of network component failure with the PRP redundancy module

 

Switches for the automation of energy systems

Design central and distributed network connections in energy systems flexibly with Industrial Ethernet switches for the DIN rail (FL SWITCH 3000E) or for use in 19 inch cabinets (FL SWITCH 4800E).

Your advantages:

  • Can be used under the harshest electromagnetic and electrostatic environmental conditions according to IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613
  • Use under extreme climatic conditions, thanks to temperature range of -40°C to +70°C
  • Fast redundancy mechanisms for high availability

FL SWITCH 3000E for the DIN rail:

  • Flexibility, thanks to various 10/100 Mbps port versions and optional 100 Mbps SFP ports with LC connection

FL SWITCH 4800E for use in 19 inch cabinets

  • High port density and can be mounted side by side to minimize space required
  • Redundant, replaceable power supply and special operating voltages (optional)

 

Redundancy modules for high availability in energy systems

Energy networks require particularly high fault tolerance. The PRP redundancy modules enable parallel redundancy without switch-over time in the event of an error and ensure the high availability of your network.

Your advantages at a glance:

  • Integration of non-PRP-capable devices in parallel networks for maximum availability
  • No switch-over times for uninterrupted operation in the event of an error
  • No loss of packets in the event of network failure or failure of individual network components
  • Can be used under the harshest electromagnetic, electrostatic, and climatic environmental conditions according to IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613
  • Easy handling, thanks to startup without configuration

 

Robust media converters

With its robust metal housing, the new FL MC 2000E LC fiberglass media converter meets high environmental requirements and is used in energy applications according to IEC 61850-3.

Your advantages:

  • Data transmission via fiber optics for optimum performance and transmission reliability
  • Particularly resistant to EMI, thanks to optical transmission
  • Use under extreme conditions, thanks to temperature range of -40°C to +75°C
  • Redundant connections for the power supply for 24 V DC and 48 V DC
  • LFP (link fault pass through) function provides permanent link monitoring and increased system availability
  • Ethernet pass through mode supports very short delay times of just 700 ns, making the media converters ideal for time-critical applications
