ASE2000 Test Set
SCADA RTU & IED Communication Testing
The essential tool for engineers and technicians who need to maintain SCADA remote terminal units (RTUs) and intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) and diagnose communication problems.
Protocol Testing Made Simple
The ASE2000 Test Set is a Windows-based test set that simulates a host, simulates an IED, or acts as a line monitor to display and log communications between a host and one or more IEDs. For field work, the ASE2000 can be loaded on a laptop to provide a portable and versatile tool for testing and troubleshooting SCADA communications.
Key Capabilities
Host Simulation
Simulate a SCADA master station to poll and test RTUs and IEDs in the field without requiring the actual control center.
IED Simulation
Simulate any IED to test master station configurations and communication setups before deploying physical equipment.
Line Monitor
Monitor and log all communications between a master and IEDs to diagnose protocol-level issues and verify data integrity.
Multi-Protocol Support
Supports DNP3, IEC 60870-5-101, IEC 60870-5-104, Modbus, and other SCADA protocols for comprehensive testing across your fleet.

Benefits:
- Line monitoring for real-time traffic analysis
- Simultaneous host and IED simulation
- Detailed communication logging and reporting
- Support for all major SCADA protocols
System Integrators
Bench-test system configurations and validate communication setups before deployment, reducing commissioning time and risk.
Benefits:
- Pre-deployment validation of protocol configurations
- IED simulation for master station testing
- Host simulation for device verification
- Reduce on-site commissioning time
Use Cases
RTU Commissioning
Verify remote terminal unit communications and data point mapping before connecting to the production SCADA system.
Protocol Conversion Testing
Test protocol gateways and conversion equipment by simulating both master and slave endpoints.
Communication Troubleshooting
Capture and analyze protocol-level traffic to identify communication errors, timeouts, and data integrity issues.
Factory Acceptance Testing
Validate IED and RTU configurations during factory acceptance testing without requiring a complete SCADA environment.
Training and Education
Provide hands-on protocol training with realistic simulation of master stations and field devices.
Firmware Validation
Test IED firmware updates and verify protocol behavior changes before deploying to production equipment.
Business Benefits
