SYNC 4000

SYNC4000 is a high end server platform that hosts a number of processing-intensive SYNC applications as listed below:
High End Gateway: The SYNC field level gateway solution is available on this platform to provide large-scale protocol data acquisition with all supported protocols, with the same SYNC7000 engineering and configuration interface. This enables this particular SYNC4000 derivative to act as a large Front End Processor to concentrate several channels of protocol input/output (via terminal servers / modem banks) and provide a LAN interface to the concentrated data.
Super PDC (Phasor Data Concentrator): SYNC4000 hosts the super PDC function facilitating the collection of multiple PMU streams (upto 1000 PMUs) implementing the IEEE C37.118 Synchrophasor protocol. The collected data can be made available through a connected database. An additional option provides for an integration of the Synchrophasor data to IEC61850 using the field proven SYNC gateways firmware solution.
ICCP-Bridge: A popular application hosted on the SYNC4000 platform provides options to intermediate between various control centers employing the ICCP (TASE.2) protocol standard. This application can act as a bridge between multiple control centers and provide many-to-many mapping of ICCP data

The following are the key features
- Creates virtual Private networks between Control Center LAN and the RTU’s/PLC’s/Automation Equipments located at various sites
- Acts as a Protocol Data Concentrator and takes over the connection handling responsibilities from the EMS/DMS/SCADA system
- Built in firewall to protect the system against possible intrusions.
- Assigns static IP address to the devices thus by eliminating the requirement of a private APN
- M2M Gateway has expansion option to handle up to 5000 outstations, and provide concentration capability as required
- Supports IEC 60870-5-101/104, DNP3 TCP, Modbus TCP, ICCP, IEC 61850 and many more
- Supports SYNC 1000,2000 and 3000 Modules as outstations
