Not so very long ago every major vendor of relays, remote terminal units (RTU), meters and programmable logic controllers (PLC), to name but a few intelligent electronic devices (IED) used

Standard communication infrastructure for mission critical applications By D Kowensky,  H3iSquared Ethernet is now the backbone for industrial communication systems due to its flexibility to adopt legacy systems and combine

Ethernet is rapidly becoming the standard for networks on utility and industrial sites, both for monitoring and automation. Previously Ethernet was considered non-deterministic, however with the development of protocols such

With the proliferation of Ethernet in the Industrial, Utility and ITS industries, wireless Ethernet is also being used more often, especially for extremely remote sites and sites where only a

Communication in the industrial and utility sectors has evolved substantially over the last couple years, due mostly to the proliferation of Ethernet as the technology of choice for communication networks.

In recent years Ethernet has proliferated as the network of choice for running automation on industrial, utility, ITS (Intelligent Transportation Solution) and military sites. In some cases sites have been

With the growing requirements for safety and uptime in today’s utility, industrial, military and ITS (Intelligent Traffic Solutions) sites and solutions, remote monitoring and recording of events has become critical.

A strong communication network is now regarded as one of the most important infrastructure layouts for anyone to have. Without communication, it would not be possible to remotely start/stop or

Leveraging Available IED Information The trend toward deploying more intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) in substations and within the distribution grid is stronger than ever. However, in many utilities, different departments
