Product catalog summary
Overview
The iRTUe units are designed to enhance and distribute the acquisition and command capabilities of IEC 61850 subscriber/master devices using GOOSE communication. They offer flexible I/O board configurations suitable for both setting up and retrofitting electrical communication networks. The iRTUe supports advanced substation automation services like interlocking and load shedding, with a processing time under 3ms, and connects via Ethernet or serial ports, synchronized with IEEE 1588 for optimal time accuracy.
Highlights
  • IEC 61850 GOOSE communication with processing time under 3ms.
  • Flexible configuration with two I/O cards per unit, supporting digital and analog inputs and relays.
  • Double Ethernet port for connectivity with iRTUs/iGWs or third-party master units.
  • Serial port for communication with older devices.
IEC 61850 GOOSE Communication
GOOSE communication is software-based, allowing cost-effective, extendable, and reconfigurable systems. It enhances operational reliability through continuous supervision of communication and data integrity. GOOSE supports VLAN and priority tagging for efficient message transmission across complex networks, enabling sophisticated logic schemes for substation protection and automation.
Power Quality Analysis
The iRTUe#Q extensions enable high-speed collection and transmission of three-phase power measurements and parameters. They connect to traditional and new sensors, storing data in COMTRADE files or analyzing waveforms for measurement and detection.

iRTUe-1

iRTUe Versatile and modular extension units with IEC 61850 GOOSE for powerful I/O capabilities in advanced networks Highlights • IEC 61850 GOOSE communication with a processing time under 3ms (P 2/3) • Flexible configuration of two I/O cards per unit with digital & analog inputs and relays • Sate-of-the-art technology for advanced automation schemes • Double Ethernet port (copper or fiber) to connect to iRTUs/iGWs or any other 3rd party master unit • Serial (EXP422) port for communication with older devices. Overview iRTUe units communicate with IEC 61850 GOOSE, allowing to extend and distribute the acquisition and command capabilities of IEC 61850 subscriber/master devices. We offer flexible I/O board configurations to fulfill any application requirement, making the iRTUe the perfect choice to both set-up and retrofit electrical communication networks. Contemporary substation automation calls for advanced I/O modules to provide modern services such as interlocking or load shedding. These functionalities rely on state-of-the-art characteristics, which cannot be realised with serial communication media and old protocols. For this reason, the iRTUe manages IEC 61850 GOOSE messaging in a processing time under 3ms. They connect via double Ethernet (RJ45, ST or SC) or serial (EXP422) port and are synchronized with IEEE 1588 (PTP) to ensure optimal time accuracy. This allows the iRTUe to communicate with any other equipment in the network: for instance RTUs, gateways, other iRTUe modules and third-party IEDs on the substation proce

GOOSE communication works with enhanced retransmission mechanisms on a publisher/subscriber basis, allowing P2P communication between iRTUe and IEDs with a processing time under 3ms (performance class P2). Since these systems are based on software configurations rather than hardwired signal paths, they are more costeffective, easily extendable and on demand reconfigurable, making them highly adaptive to changing substation configurations and network topologies. IEC 61850 GOOSE also features strong VLAN and priority tagging functionalities via IEEE 802.1Q to send messages efficiently across complex...
