Data Concentrator Unit - VData-09

The Data Concentrator Unit (DCU) automates transmission and sub-transmission of substations. It uses real-time data from grid assets to provide intelligence for critical actions. This allows the user to optimise their investments, protect primary equipment and avoid instances of grid overload.

Designed to handle highly complex systems in grid automation. The DCU can interface with all kinds of Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs), parallel I/Os, serial connection and communication media. All this real-time data can then be transmitted to the user’s central Meter Data Acquisition System (MDAS) to support analysis and decision making.
