SEL-2240 Axion® Distributed Control and Integration Platform
The SEL Axion® is a fully integrated modular input/output (I/O) and control solution ideally suited for utility and industrial applications. It combines the communications, built-in security, and IEC 61131 logic engine of the SEL Real-Time Automation Controller (RTAC) family with a durable suite of I/O modules that provide high-speed, deterministic, control performance over an EtherCAT® network.
Whether your application calls for a remote terminal unit (RTU) or an ultrarugged programmable logic controller (PLC), the SEL-2240 will be a good match. All of the SEL Axion modules are rated from –40° to +85°C and can optionally include conformal coating. The system is designed to be flexible; use the right combination of modules and nodes in almost any arrangement to suit the job. The SEL-2244-3 Digital Output Module has substation duty contacts (30 A make, 6 A carry) in order to provide reliable operation and flexible application.
The SEL-3530 and SEL-3530-4 RTACs, as well as the new SEL-2241 RTAC Module, can all operate as the CPU for an SEL Axion Platform. They interface seamlessly with the I/O modules and provide easy integration with other serial and Ethernet devices via preinstalled communications protocols. The RTACs also support multiple SCADA/HMI channels. For high-speed communication, use EtherCAT fieldbus connections to I/O modules or optional IEC 61850 GOOSE messaging with station IEDs.

- RTU and Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) in a Single System
The SEL Axion includes I/O, SCADA communications, and control logic support for many industrial and utility applications. - Simple Setup With acSELerator RTAC™ SEL-5033 Software
Build a system quickly, including I/O modules, using standard device templates. - Flexible I/O Selections
Choose a custom mix of digital I/O modules that suit the application. Include hundreds of points in a single panel, all connected to a deterministic EtherCAT network. - Advanced User Authentication and System Security
Enforce Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) user accounts to maintain security perimeter integrity. Apply corporate logging and port control policies to comply with NERC CIP requirements. - Deterministic I/O Performance
The connected I/O is updated at a deterministic frequency; all inputs provide 1 ms Sequential Events Recorder (SER) time stamps. - More Than SCADA
The SEL-2240 includes industry-standard communications protocols to enable multiple SCADA connections as well as distributed control networks among many stations. - Networking Options
Implement I/O networks that use optional fiber-optic cables to provide outstanding signal isolation and flexibility in module placement.
Concentrate I/O data and SCADA communications to perform substation RTU functions.
Quickly build embedded web-based HMI screens for visualization and control of any data in your system using the optional acSELerator Diagram Builder™ Software.
Use up to six SEL Axion nodes that can be integrated with EtherCAT for large remote I/O installations.
Economically address custom control requirements by combining the IEC 61131 logic engine (included with every RTAC) and flexible I/O to create an ultrarugged PLC system.
Take advantage of integrated security options to ensure your system meets NERC CIP requirements for auditing, logging, port control, web authentication, software patch management, and password restrictions.
Easily integrate synchrophasor information into SCADA messages, allowing system-wide application of synchrophasor data.
