SYNC 4000 Series: Control Centre Gateway

SYNC 4000 helps SCADA/EMS/DMS to communicate wtih remote devices even if the solution does not support same communicaton protocols at the upstream and downstream. The various protocol drivers available in  SYNC 4000 takes care of communicating with remote field devices and provide the data to SCADA/EMS/DMS on communication protocol supported by them. SYNC 4000 creates a trusted network of widely distributed automation components like PLC, RTU's, Transformer Monitoring Units, RMU Automation Units, Capacitor Bank Control Units. The security is guaranteed by a Virtual Private Network (VPN) created from site location to control center using SSL/TLS.
