Substation automation applications pose unique challenges due to the demanding environment and critical nature of data communication. The presence of high levels of Electromagnetic Interference (EMC) coupled with the need for seamless data transmission between Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) and control systems demands highly reliable network switches. Westermo understands these challenges and offers a comprehensive solution designed specifically for substation automation.
Westermo's Solution:
The RedFox 5700 series has undergone rigorous testing and certification by KEMA Labs, the leading test laboratory for high-power components. Unlike many switch manufacturers, Westermo's RedFox switches have achieved complete compliance, earning the prestigious KEMA Labs Gold Certification for IEC 61850-3, Class 2, on all ports. This distinction underscores the unmatched reliability and performance of Westermo's Ethernet switches in substation automation applications.
Ethernet as the Industry Standard:
Despite the formidable environment within substations, Ethernet technology has emerged as the industry standard due to its simplicity, widespread use in other industries, and ease of installation and configuration. Westermo builds upon this standard with its 'Made Easy' concept, simplifying network configuration and management for seamless operations. Powered by WeOS, a thoroughly tested and reliable operating system, Westermo's network products offer robustness, reliability, and user-friendly functionality explicitly tailored for substation automation.
