SUBNET PowerSYSTEM Center
Why choose PowerSYSTEM Center?
Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements
Specially designed to manage devices that are a part of your critical infrastructure protection (NERC CIP) compliance program.
Integrate all devices, regardless or manufacturer or model
Most device manufacturers and models are supported. Newer devices can be integrated in-field or through an in-house team of device communication experts.
Eliminate human performance issues and errors
Automate tasks to ensure work is done quickly and correctly every time.
Protect your existing device investment
Integrate existing devices with PowerSYSTEM Center to ensure their compliance with NERC CIP without having to replace them.
Simplify and secure your device data and engineering access management
Stay in control of your devices with PowerSYSTEM Center. Regulatory compliance is simplified with automated baseline monitoring, remote access control, and automatic scheduled password changes. Benefit from the device connectivity through automatic event and fault information collection. Notify users of changes quickly for a pro-active and modern approach to device management.
PowerSYSTEM Center
With PowerSYSTEM Center, critical infrastructure asset owners are able to securely and centrally manage its large install base of many different intelligent electronic devices (meters, relays, RTUs, etc) deployed throughout their entire transmission and distribution system. Used by dozens of the largest T&D companies in the US for NERC CIP Intermediate System for IED Access Control, PowerSYSTEM Center is a multi-function IED management platform that supports several additional functions including: Unified Relay Event File Collection and Archiving, Unified Asset Monitoring and Unified Data Historian interfaces.
PowerSYSTEM Center for stations
PowerSYSTEM Center for stations makes your engineering workstation more secure and intelligent by connecting it to our flagship product PowerSYSTEM Center. PowerSYSTEM Center provides a central source of truth for all your devices, and is enhanced by adding a local component inside your secured network to automate manual tasks, securely provide local personnel information necessary to complete their work, and synchronizes central security policies into the station and critical information back to the central system.
The Power of PowerSYSTEM Center, now in your substation.
PowerSYSTEM Center for field workers
PowerSYSTEM Center for field workers enables NERC CIP compliance teams and field workers to effectively manage their entire fleet of devices. This solution extends PowerSYSTEM Center’s central capabilities to any device, anywhere, whether the device is offline prior connecting to a secure network or is to remain entirely offline (air-gapped). This solution supports the initial commissioning of IEDs, validates device information upon connection, sets NERC CIP-compliant passwords according to your defined policy, and collects evidence of all changes. It does so while providing a consistent look and feel to PowerSYSTEM Center, which securely synchronizes the data back to maintain a central source of truth.
PowerSYSTEM Center work management provides the ability to create and manage work orders that can be shared with multiple field workers to share and distribute workloads, and cover scenarios where field workers become unavailable for whatever reason.

Features designed by users, for users
Real users are part of our continual feedback loop we use to drive the design and implementation of features within PowerSYSTEM Center. User feedback is critical to SUBNET Solutions Inc. so we can ensure PowerSYSTEM Center solves their problems in a way that fits naturally with how they work.
Dashboards and reporting
Customizable dashboards and reports ensure you can quickly get the right information in front of the right users. Customization is done through simple UI-based query building tools or through a PowerSYSTEM Center Query Language to support complex reporting and visualization (PSCQL).
Reports can be scheduled for automatic snapshots ensuring that periodic reporting is never missed.
Audit trails
Every activity within PowerSYSTEM Center is logged into the system. This ensures a complete audit trail starting from initial installation all the way to the present time.
Notifications
Monitor activity records and generate immediate email notifications to the right people. Customize email templates to ensure the right information is send to the right people. Attach reports to emails for further information.
Password change management
Ensure all your devices meet the requirements of NERC CIP-007 (Systems Security Management). Setup policies for password complexity, password changes schedules, and the ability for users to check-out passwords for field servicing work.
Database-level management of password records ensures passwords are not only secure, but virtually eliminates risk of possible password loss by ensuring password transactions are atomic.
All password management functions generate detailed activity logs for auditing and tracking.
Baselining and configuration management
Ensure adherence to NERC CIP-010 (Configuration Change Management and Vulnerability Assessments) by managing and monitoring your device’s operating system or firmware, open-source applications, custom software, logical network ports, and security patches.
The device’s configuration is automatically compared against an established baseline. Differences between the baseline and the device’ configuration automatically generate activity records and notifications for a pro-active approach to device management.
Restricted engineering access
Front-end remote engineering access to your devices to provide role-based control to devices that may not otherwise provide it.
Automate application logon to those devices to further improve human performance and minimize errors.
Monitor and record communications. Communications rules can intercept messages flagged as unauthorized and prevent transmission to the device.
Data collection
Leverage your device connectivity by also collecting non-operational event and fault information from your devices.
Tying the data collection with business integration options can drive on-demand collection based on field or SCADA trigger conditions. This ensures data is immediately available after field events.
Work orders
Organize and manage the field work. Assign workers to groups of devices and statements of work to be performed. Track the progress of workers on those assignments.
Provide temporary access to devices for those workers based on device assignment.
Flexible and scalable architecture
Install the system in a way that works for you. The system can be installed on single-instance servers up to high-availability multi-server instances.
Scale concurrent work by simply adding job agent servers to the server pool. Isolate out resource-intensive work to eliminate disruptions to communication efficient tasks.
Business integration
Automatically push activity records to a syslog or SIEM server through built-in support for syslog publication of activity records.
Use the REST API to build other business integration adapters such as integration with enterprise message busses (like IBM MQ), other business systems (like SAP), or SCADA EMS/DMS systems.
Secure by design
Competitive solutions promote virtualizing connections from your edge device to your worker’s laptop. The same laptop that connects to the Internet, can receive malicious email, travels with them, and is at risk of exploit.
PowerSYSTEM Center is always deployed in an environment that guarantees device communications is terminated at a server that is impossible to directly access from the worker’s computer. In fact, no network bridging technology is required. This ensures it is impossible for malicious packets possibly published from the worker’s laptop to ever reach the end device.
Works better with SubSTATION Server
Enhance the PowerSYSTEM Center experience by deploying SubSTATION Server in your substations. Benefit from interleaved communications so that SCADA is not interrupted. Allow for rich connectivity to all your edge devices without compromising on firewall rules and open ports.
