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...
