This technology allows a utility to automate its electromechanical substations without the high cost of a microprocessor panel upgrade.
The data acquisition is performed by a purpose built device using fast A/D conversion, with continuous streaming and a resolution up to 22 bits (typical 16 bit). It has a programmable gain option feature for improved accuracy, individual channel sampling rates of 2 KHz., and a fast Ethernet interface for real time data transfers. It requires 24 VDC power.
