For secure control system connectivity and reliable communication between energy facilities, control centres and SCADA systems. Supports operations, engineering and service teams in integrating suitable communication profiles into existing infrastructures.
Typical application:
- Connecting energy plants to control centres or SCADA systems
- Integrating different communication profiles into existing infrastructures
- Exchanging operational and measurement data between plants and higher-level systems
- Supporting modernisation projects where existing interfaces are to continue to be used
These devices are suitable if:
- Reliable communication between the plant and the control system is required
- Different protocols or connection options need to be integrated
- Existing systems are to be expanded or modernised
- A suitable communication solution is required for different plant profiles

FAQ
What is SCADA communication?
SCADA communication is the exchange of data, status information and commands between field devices, controllers, substations and control centres.
Which protocols are commonly used in SCADA environments?
Common protocols include IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-101, IEC 60870-5-103, IEC 60870-5-104, Modbus and DNP3.
What is the difference between SCADA and remote protocols?
SCADA refers to the supervisory control system as a whole. Remote protocols are the standardized communication methods used to transfer data and commands within that system.
When is IEC 61850 a good choice?
IEC 61850 is a strong choice for modern substation automation and Ethernet-based communication structures.
Why is secure communication important in SCADA systems?
Because SCADA systems often operate in critical infrastructure environments where reliable, controlled and secure data exchange is essential.
What should be considered when selecting a communication module?
Important criteria include supported protocols, interfaces, integration into existing systems, security functions and the intended application environment.
Which solution is suitable for multiple protocol requirements?
A communication module that supports several common remote protocols is often the best option for mixed or evolving system landscapes.
Can SCADA communication be integrated into existing infrastructures?
Yes, suitable communication modules help connect existing assets to control centres without completely replacing the installed system architecture.
