Data Concentrator

Source: Microsol, Inc.
Microsols Data Concentrator acts as a Data Hub providing convenient connection points for external interfaces to the system. This is particularly important in the case where the RTUs are distributed around the substation and a central connection point is necessary to facilitate interfacing.
Microsol's Data Concentrator acts as a Data Hub providing convenient connection points for external interfaces to the system. This is particularly important in the case where the RTU's are distributed around the substation and a central connection point is necessary to facilitate interfacing.

The Data Concentrator comprises several external interfaces. Each interface is assigned to a separate processor module. Each processor module operates independently and maintains its own protocol database.

The Data Concentrator provides an interface to remote hosts. The interface to the host is a redundant interface for increased availability as it uses two independent processor modules for communications over dedicated lines.

Normal communications to the host is via the main link. Should this fail, communication to the host is automatically transferred to the standby link
