EG serie producten

Alle gateways in de EG serie hebben een zeer consistente werkwijze. De verschillen tussen de modellen komen voornamelijk tot uiting in de hardware-interfaces en de overeenkomstige variaties blijven beperkt tot de aan- of afwezigheid van bepaalde functionele knooppunten.

FAQ

Q1: What network options does the EG8200Mini-104 edge IEC 104 Gateway support? How can I use it in a substation without Ethernet?

A1: EG8200Mini-104 IEC 104 Gateway offers very flexible networking options, fitting a variety of industrial site scenarios:

• • Wired (RJ45): Connect via the Gigabit WAN port or 100Mbps LAN port to your local network.

  • Wi-Fi: Supports dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz & 5GHz) as a client to connect to existing wireless networks.

  • Cellular (4G LTE): Built-in 4G Cat.1 module—just insert a SIM card, and your gateway can send data over the mobile network.

So even in older substations with no network cables, you can still use 4G to reliably send data back to the control center.

Q2: How do I use the EG8200Mini-104 IEC 104 Gateway to read substation digital and analog data? Is it complicated?

A2: Configuration is straightforward using the visual Node-RED tool—no coding required. Here’s the core workflow:

1. Network setup: Ensure the gateway is on the same network as your substation devices (e.g., protection relays). You can adjust the LAN IP via the management interface.

2. Add nodes: In Node-RED, drag an IEC104 Client node from the left palette into your workflow.

3. Configure connections and points:

• • • In the node settings, enter the remote 104 slave’s IP address and port (default is 2404).

    • Digital inputs (DI/status points): Go to the “Digital” tab, add the points using the slave’s point addresses (like 1, 2), and assign names.

    • Analog inputs (AI/measurements): Go to the “Analog” tab, add the points with the corresponding addresses (like 16385, 16386) and names.

• 1. 4. Deploy & verify: Once deployed, the gateway will automatically read data at the configured intervals. You can monitor real-time values in the debug panel.

Q3: How does the EG8200Mini-104 ensure power data security?

A3: The gateway employs a multi-layered security system compliant with industry standards:

• • Standard Protocol: Strictly adheres to IEC 60870-5-104 to ensure reliable data transmission.

  • Network Isolation: Supports VPNs and dedicated LANs to block external cyber threats.

  • Access Control: All commands are mapped to pre-defined point tables to prevent unauthorized operations.

  • Safe Execution: Implements the “Select-before-Execute” mechanism to prevent accidental or malicious control commands.

This 4-layer approach ensures the stability and safety of your power monitoring system.
