SUBNET SubSTATION Server
An advanced data concentrator and protocol converter unifying all substation data
Benefits of SubSTATION Server
SubSTATION Server is a multi-function software application that performs data concentration, protocol translation, automation logic, event file collection and enterprise connectivity.
SubSTATION Server is a powerful multi-function substation integration solution that replaces outdated RTU data concentrators, relay communication processors and other legacy integration devices.
Save utilities time and money by eliminating the need to purchase, configure and maintain multiple different legacy integration devices.
Avoid limitations of IED vendor-specific integration devices with SubSTATION Server’s true multi-vendor integration capabilities that support rich integration for virtually all major IED vendors.
Enables utilities to get more out of existing IED investments by helping them avoid unnecessary IED upgrades and replacements just to add new IED communication or security functionality.
Save time driving to substations to communicate with IEDs – use SubSTATION Server’s secure remote access functionality (NERC CIP compliant).
Mitigate the effect of substation outages with automated collection of Relay Event Records with timely and informed restoration actions.

- See how the SEL-3354 compares to the SEL-3530 RTAC
Protocol Communications Features
- Large library of richly-implemented SCADA Master and Slave Protocols
- Expansive protocol source code library enables straightforward implementation from over 40 additional legacy protocols on as-required basis
- Local/remote control lockout of SCADA controls
- Industry’s most advanced SEL protocol communication support with complete auto-configuration
- Support for flexible parsing of SEL ASCII, generic ASCII and binary-based communications for unique devices
- Supports channel redundancy
Integration Troubleshooting Features
- Integrated communication diagnostic tool allows viewing of raw communications data for any connection to aid in troubleshooting communication problems
Time Sync Support
- Extensive support for various time synchronization methodologies, and will accept time synchronization signals from SNTP/NTP Servers, IRIG-B (un-modulated/modulated), and SCADA protocols.
System Redundancy
- Warm redundancy increases reliability
- Configure secondary system automatically using files from the primary system
- Supports network separation
Use SubSTATION Server’s advanced redundancy capabilities and implement a reliable and seamless upgradeable automation solution.
Avoid technological obsolescence issues of traditional substation integration solutions with SubSTATION Server which leverages, and evolves with, mainstream networking and computing technologies including Microsoft and Intel, versus proprietary embedded IED vendor computing technologies.
Scalable software enables solution support ranging from the smallest distribution sites to your largest transmission substations.
Event File Collection
