DYMEC Introduces Secure Integrated Network Solution for Power Substations
Posted on: Tuesday, 25 January 2005, 12:00 CST
NORTH ANDOVER, Mass., Jan. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- DYMEC, Inc. announces the introduction of the DynaStar 2000 Industrial Frame Router (DS2000-IFR), a purpose-built data networking platform that extends monitoring, control and automation networks to large power substation environments. A "DYMEC Hardened" product, the DS2000-IFR provides a robust and reliable alternative to non-hardened commercial switches, routers, terminal servers and related network access equipment.
A key DynaStar capability is simultaneous support for both an IP convergence strategy and transport of native-mode SCADA communications (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition). With IP convergence, the DynaStar network integrates all substation applications over a secure IP routed infrastructure. Alternatively, DynaStar transports native-mode SCADA protocols directly over frame relay without use of "routable protocols" that are restricted by recent substation security guidelines.
The DS2000-IFR combines local area network consolidation and high speed Ethernet switching with integrated access to wide area networks (WANs). WAN options include IP-routed intranets and frame relay transport networks, including providing an integral DDS or T1/E1 CSU/DSU for connection to wireline carrier services. The DS2000-IFR builds upon the same DynaStar operating software as the recently announced DS1500-IFR and DS1500-ETS (Ethernet Terminal Server), but provides twice the interface capacity for Ethernet and serial data devices, including dual Gigabit Ethernet and dual WAN (DDS or T1 frame relay ports).
"Power utilities are moving aggressively to build more secure, reliable and cost effective transmission and distribution systems, and data networking is at the core of these initiatives," said John Shaw, President of DYMEC. "The DynaStar IFR products provide an all-in-one solution to the unique physical and functional requirements of substation networks."
Concurrent with this release, the DS2000-IFR is being debuted by DYMEC at the Distributech Conference and Exhibition in San Diego, CA.
