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.
Adapts to various configurations using the existing RTU allocated space
Secures IED remote access and enhances SCADA communication links
Drastically simplifies I/O configuration and integration
Made possible by adding distributed SMP I/O modules or other IEDs
Enhanced automation capabilities available
Significantly reduces replacement costs, manpower hours and substation downtime
Standard DNP3 over a TCP/IP or RS-485 link
More than 80 protocols to integrate other IEDs
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 SG-42xx automation platform, an Eaton RTU interface board and SMP I/O modules to match the required RTU I/O functionality.
The D20 RTU upgrade solution is available as standard product in a variety of models and configurations. All models share the same software capabilities, limited only by the backplane hardware characteristics, providing reduced learning time and a simplified migration path between models.
