RTU upgrade solution
Eaton’s innovative, flexible and high performing RTU upgrade solution reduces the costs and complexity of replacing a legacy system. Eaton’s solution involves its cybersecure substation-grade SMP automation platform and SMP IO-2330 system units, matching the required I/O configurations. The SMP IO-2330 system presents the same form factor as the legacy GE D20 I/O modules and offers pre-mapped I/O configurations to match the most popular legacy RTU models to upgrade. This SMP IO-2330 system is perfect for upgrades with limited space and no rear end reachability. Open frame options are also available, allowing to keep the legacy GE D20 termination panel in place with all existing wiring and simply replace the Logic panel.
Core features
- The SMP IO-2330 system fits into confined spaces and is rack- and wall-mountable
- Pre-mapped to specific I/O configurations
- Open frame options available, keeping legacy GE D20 termination panel in place
- Innovative, flexible and high performing solution
- Easily adapt to any RTU
- Fast commissioning due to seamless integration of the SMP IO-2330 system with the SMP automation platform
- Advanced operational and non-operational data management capabilities
- Uses open industry protocols (DNP3, GOOSE messaging, IEC 61850)
- Compliance with NERC CIP requirements
- Secure remote access for maintenance
Providing security and support for modern protocols
Upgrade your legacy RTU with minimized service interruption
The SMP IO-2230 system preserves wiring of the legacy I/O cabling; this enables the system to be replaced with minimal impact to engineering and operations while delivering best-in-class security, communications and data management. These solutions enable utilities to implement smarter and more secure substations with advanced technology and minimized service interruptions
Benefits
Cybersecurity
- Helps meet NERC CIP requirements
- Secures IED remote access and enhances SCADA communication links
Hardware
- No required rewiring in the field
- Significantly reduces replacement costs, manpower hours and substation downtime
- Adapts to various configurations using the existing RTU allocated space. Uses two substation-grade SMP devices and a chassis for field wiring connections
- Easy expansion made possible by adding other SMP IO-2230 systems, standalone distributed SMP IO-2230 units or other IEDs
Software
- The SMP IO-2230 system uses open industry protocols: standard DNP3, GOOSE messaging and IEC 61850 over a TCP/IP or RS-485 link
- The SMP Gateway automation platform supports more than 80 protocols in order to integrate other IEDs
- Both the SMP Gateway automation platform and the SMP IO-2230 system use SMP Manager as their management application, which includes SMP Config configuration tool, SMP Trace, SMP Stats and SMP Log. Both SMP devices also use the HMI Commissioning Tool. Using these tools drastically simplifies I/O configuration and integration into the system.
- Enhanced automation capabilities available with the automation functions and Soft PLC for the automation platform and micro PLC capabilities for the SMP IO-2230 system
Remote management ready
- Use Eaton’s IED Management Suite (IMS) for remote management, for example password management, configuration management
10-year warranty on the SMP IO-2230 systems
The available models
Eaton’s solution to replace legacy RTUs enables utilities to implement smarter and more secure substations with advanced technology and minimized service interruptions by combining the SMP Gateway automation platform, SMP IO-2230 distributed I/O units, each integrated into a 3U chassis to match the required RTU I/O functionality.
The SMP IO-2230 system is available as standard products for several I/O configuration models. All models share the same software capabilities, limited only by the chassis hardware characteristics, providing reduced learning time and a simplified migration path between models.
Other SMP IO-2230 system models configuration can be made available within a few weeks.
SMP IO-2230-A
- 32 analog inputs at the rear of the SMP IO-2230 system
- Disconnect terminations at the front of the chassis
SMP IO-2230-S
- 64 binary inputs at the rear of the SMP IO-2230 system
- Disconnect terminations at the front of the chassis
SMP IO-2230-K and -KR
32 control outputs at the rear of the SMP IO-2230 system
The SMP IO-2230-K and KR systems can be setup for the following configurations:
