DP612 PoE Routing Cyber Security switch for Power Substation Networks

Fully Secured 12G Layer 3 PoE Routing Switch

As Power Utilities locations are remotely distributed, DCS is usually implemented in power plant automation system for increasing working productivity as well as for smart energy production with eliminated influence on environment.

Vital role of data communication between various automation components is evident though it brings the problem of data protection from cyber-attacks and network redundancy as it is based on Ethernet and Internet.

Topology description:

DP612 are installed in power substation to ensure overcoming high level of electromagnetic interference on power plants. DP612 collect IP cameras, IEDs, meters and SCADAs data and transmit to the control center. Several DP612 in power plants connect with a ERPS ring for network redundacy.

Why DP612 is chosen for power substation:

• Dual redundant 10~60VDC power input

• Hi-pot isolation and operating temperature -40~75°C

• 8 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports can be connected with IP surveillance cameras

• 4 Gigabit SFP Combo ports are used for uplink data transmission to Control Center

• VRRP function provides gateway backup, keeping network avaliable
