Ixxat SG-gateways enable communication between industrial automation devices and energy networks. HMS Networks is now extending the Ixxat SG-gateway line with new versions including a 4G/LTE modem for cellular connectivity as well as 4-port Ethernet switching capabilities, giving users additional energy networking options for substations and power plants.
For several energy networking use cases – mini-RTU, gateway and remote access
Ixxat SG-gateways are used in many areas of energy automation, e.g. in modern pow-er plants and in large-scale energy consumer installations for retrofitting systems and digitalizing substations. The SG-gateways are used for different purposes: They con-nect energy control networks with industrial automation devices, enable remote access, act as gateways between different protocols and thus enable the development of state-of-the-art IIoT applications.
快速蜂窝通信，增加数据可用性和洞察力
With the new, integrated 4G modem and the extensive protocol support, the Ixxat SG-gateways are ideal for easy digitalization of small, outlying energy distribution stations. The 4G CAT1 connection offers 10 Mbps downstream and 5 Mbps upstream commu-nication with low latency, high network coverage and a universal data channel – inde-pendent of wired Ethernet, DSL or fiber optics. 4G can be used as either the main or backup communication channel. All supported IP-based protocols – including IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-104, MQTT and OPC-UA – can be transmitted over the wireless link. The 4G modem can also be used as an independent communication channel for e.g. device maintenance and alarm messages (SMS or MQTT), enables straight-forward implementation of predictive and remote maintenance applications.
New, versatile 4-port switch versions introduced
除了4G选项外，现在可用的新型多端口版本的IXXAT SG网关，能够通过多个数据级别的独立接口安全地连接网络。这简化了能量自动化网络和工业以太网系统（如PROFINET或Ethernet / IP）之间的数据交换以及与IoT-Systems和Cloud应用程序的连接。每个网络段都单独连接，并且仍然可以与所有其他段交换数据。由于综合安全功能，包括防火墙，整体系统易于设计和维护，并且与传统网关和交换机组合的使用相比，对未经授权的访问进行了相当强大和安全。
