Product Variants
RUGGEDCOM ELAN-FEP
The RUGGEDCOM ELAN Front-End Processor is packaged to address the need to manage communications from remote sites, over a range of communications media. ELAN FEPs are frequently deployed to provide capabilities not available in native front ends, such as IP network support, security, or simply as a cost effective way to add additional ports
RUGGEDCOM ELAN-UDG
RUGGEDCOM ELAN UDG is the core of the ELAN application family created to address specific protocol conversion and translation issues related to RTUs, protection relays, PLCs, DFRs and other utility IEDs
RUGGEDCOM ELAN-RIG
RUGGEDCOM ELAN RIG is the secure version of the ELAN UDG, providing secure TLS/SSL based encryption for communication over open networks, such as the Internet
RUGGEDCOM ELAN-SCS
RUGGEDCOM ELAN SCS typically resides in the substation and has direct connection to all IEDs. It provides a single point of access over a Wide Area Network (WAN), or modem connection (dial-up or leased line). The strength of the ELAN SCS lies in its ability to support multiple, concurrent host interfaces, each getting the specific data it needs. For example, from a particular relay, SCADA data may be sent to the EMS using a SCADA protocol, a different subset of data may go to a historian, and fault files may be automatically extracted and distributed to interested users
