Camille Bauer (Switzerland) offers a measurement IED for electric distribution systems or industrial facilities compliant with IEC 61850. The IED can also be used as a Gateway for many other input and output signals. SINEAX CAM-POWER is designed for measurements in electric distribution systems or in industrial facilities.
The following Logical Nodes are supported:
- SINEAX CAM Universal measuring unit for heavy current variables [en]
- SINEAX CAM Universelle Messeinheit für Starkstromgrössen [de]
- Installation [en/de]
- General information
The IED is a good example that demonstrates that advanced IEDs can run several applications: measurements, general I/O's or logic functions. The classical PLC (programmable logic controller) with its special hardware has been converted to a software that can run on almost any hardware platform with Ethernet, TCP/IP and upper layer protocols.
Protection IEDs have integrated Ethernet switches ... it is likely that classical Ethernet Switches will soon provide general I/O's and logic function. IEDs will become more multifunctional!
Upper layer protocols and other definitions like information models and configuration language according to IEC 61850 will play a crucial role in future automation systems.
