Communication gateway INGESAS IC3

securityindustrialtelemetry

Product overview
INGESAS IC3 is a communications gateway and RTU designed to collect all substation information (alarms, statuses, measurements, counters, etc.) and send it to control centers. It also receives commands and setpoints from control centers and transmits them to the corresponding IEDs, and executes station-level logic.

Functions

• Collect all substation information (alarms, statuses, measurements, counters, etc.) and send it to different control centers following telecontrol standards.
• Receive commands and setpoints from control centers and forward them to the corresponding IEDs.
• Execute station-level logic, receiving required information from position-level IEDs.
• Develop logic using tools compliant with IEC 61131-3.
• Include cybersecurity measures: firewall, encryption, user management and access policies.
• Act as time synchronization master for connected devices via IEEE 1588, IRIG-B, SNTP or telecontrol protocols.

Models

• INGESAS IC3 form factor 0: substation control unit in modular chassis with physical I/O and LED signaling.
• INGESAS IC3 form factor 4: substation control unit in high-density communications chassis.

Protocols

• IEC 61850: client / server
• IEC 60870-5-101: master / slave
• IEC 60870-5-104: client / server
