Increase Mobile Operations Staff Effectiveness
Message delivery to mobile operations staff provides important information on power system condition and operation, enhancing field decisions and productivity.
Back Up SCADA System Alarm Functions
Provide backup transmission of alarms in the event of SCADA equipment or communications channel failure.
Include Process Data in Messages
Include process data such as fault location and time in messages. Traditional autodialers rely on prerecorded messages requiring a site visit to collect data.
Retrieve Important Information Without a
Computer
Dial-in function for query of recent station events and alarms without the expense of computers, mobile data connections, or SCADA software.
Reduce Cost of Alarm Monitoring
Use standard telephone lines rather than leased lines or digital communications channels to transmit data from sites where SCADA equipment or full-time communications are prohibitively expensive.
The SEL-3010 converts ASCII strings received on its EIA-232 serial port to speech. So generally, computers and PLCs with EIA-232 serial ports and software that provides output strings can drive the SEL-3010. The following SEL devices have settings that directly support sending ASCII strings to the SEL-3010:
