    Industrial Ethernet for Substations
    GarrettCom EVP John Shaw recently published three articles describing how to evolve to a strategic substation network architecture.  In the latest article , Shaw also describes how to use NERC/CIP compliance deadlines as an opportunity.

    "NERC/CIP Compliance: Headache or Opportunity?" (featured in Utility Automation & Engineering T&D, July 2007)

    "Substation Networks that Promote Automation" (featured in Utility Automation & Engineering T&D)

    Evolving to a Strategic Substation Network Architechture (Electric Energy T&D feature)

    Additional features of GarrettCom products include:
    • Cyber Security with CrossBow & MSNF
    • Fiber built-in to accommodate selections of 10 Mb or 100 Mb fiber media (including Gigabit)
    • High-EMI noise immunity, reliable operation in the presence of interference
    • IEC 61850 & IEEE 1613 compliance
    • IEEE 1613 Class 2 for substations
    • NERC CIP Compliance
    • Power types such as: 125V, 110V, 24V, -48V DC, and worldwide AC
    • Dual-source option for high availability in case of power source failure
    • Operating temperature range, -40°C to 85°C
    • Rugged cases for durability and noise immunity
