Integrating existing power systems with IEC 61850 networks is often challenging due to the variety of industrial protocols used in existing power facilities and the cybersecurity issues of these facilities. MGate 5192 is an industrial protocol gateway designed to convert IEC 61850 MMS to Modbus RTU/ASCII/TCP, DNP3 serial/TCP/UDP, IEC 60870-5-101 or IEC 60870-5-104, enabling secure communication between power SCADA systems and various devices.
Reliable design and ease of installation
The MGate 5192 gateway is housed in a robust and compact metal chassis which can be mounted on a DIN rail. The device has built-in galvanic isolation, making it an optimal choice for industrial applications requiring increased reliability.
Simplified configuration
MGate 5192 has a web interface that allows quick and easy configuration of the device without the need to install additional software. Configuration security is ensured by HTTPS encryption. In typical data collection tasks, configuration via Modbus commands can be time-consuming and expensive, but the MGate 5192 gateway supports offline configuration via CSV files, significantly speeding up the Modbus configuration process and reducing operational costs.
Convenient diagnostics and maintenance
The MGate 5192 provides a wide range of diagnostic functions such as LED indicators, protocol message diagnostics, traffic monitoring and tag viewing, which simplifies troubleshooting, especially during the installation phase. Additionally, the device is equipped with status monitoring and failover protection functions. If the connection to the IEC 61850 device is disconnected or lost, the gateway notifies the SCADA system, which allows immediate action to be taken. Failover protection ensures that the latest data is saved and prevents emergency situations if the SCADA system fails.
Network security
MGate gateways provide high cybersecurity for industrial networks, including access control, vulnerability management, rapid response to events and data protection using encryption and secure authentication. The IEC 62443-4-2 standard ensures reliable protection of data and connections without the risk of interception and spoofing..
Conclusion
MGate 5192 is a reliable and efficient solution for providing secure and stable communication between SCADA systems and various devices in power systems, making it an excellent choice for use in industrial power networks.
