High security standards by means of a firewall (Stateful Packet Inspection) and VPN connections (IP-Sec) as an integral component of the Industrial Security concept
Low investment and operating costs for operator control and monitoring of remotely connected substations
Protection of investments: Continued use of existing cable infrastructure for Ethernet transfer up to a distance of at least 10 km
Simple and low-cost migration from classical remote communication to IP-based remote communication
Alternative use instead of optical communication for Ethernet transfer over long distances using two-wire lines
Improved manageability thanks to mechanical integration due to the design (module format) with S7-1500 / ET200MP
Wide application area thanks to large bandwidth, high performance and speed
