Press Release Summary:
With up to 48 serial ports in 3U enclosure, GPS clock, and optional Ethernet switch, SMP 16/SG Intelligent Substation Gateway provides single point of access to all substation equipment. For larger substations, unit supports cascading configurations, where one SMP 16/SG becomes master to another SMP 16/SG, multiplying number of ports and connections available. Automation functions and SoftPLC workbench can be used to implement automated controls.
Original Press Release:
New Intelligent Substation Gateway Brings NERC-CIP Compliance and True Integration to Substations
Quebec City, July 6, 2006 - Cybectec is proud to launch the most advanced substation gateway on the market, the SMP 16/SG Intelligent Substation Gateway.
The latest offspring from Cybectec's well-known line of SMP Substation Gateways, the SMP 16/SG supports all the basic functions of the field-proven SMP gateway, plus advanced functions that take it beyond basic protocol translation and data concentration. Cybectec's out-of-the-box solution to protocol conversion, data concentration and device integration problems can connect to and control more substation equipment than any other communication gateway in the market.
With up to 48 serial ports in its 3U enclosure, a GPS clock and an optional Ethernet switch, the SMP 16/SG becomes the ideal single point of access to all substation equipment. SCADAs, control centers and users alike can now get all their data from one source or easily passthrough to the device. For larger substations, the SMP 16/SG supports cascading configurations, where one SMP 16/SG becomes master to the other SMP 16/SG, multiplying the number of ports and connections available.
New in the SMP 16/SG are NERC CIP-compliant cyber-security features that create the much-needed electronic security perimeter around substation equipment. The SMP 16/SG also comes with several improvements, including remote access services via dial-up, a comprehensive suite of tools, and enhanced usability.
The SMP 16/SG adds powerful automation capabilities to substations. Its automation functions and SoftPLC workbench can be used to implement automated controls, as simple as opening or closing relays or as complex as prioritizing feeder reconnection after an outage.

Thanks to its extensive protocol translation and data concentration capacities, the SMP 16/SG Intelligent Substation Gateway can bring non-operational data (NODA) to the enterprise level. NODA can be used to optimize maintenance, extend equipment life and even diagnose faults.
Cybectec has helped a growing number of utilities worldwide face the challenges of integrating and automating their substation equipment, in a step-by-step manner that minimizes risk and substation downtime. The key concept in our approach is top start with a pilot project where utilities can learn how to use an intelligent communications gateway to concentrate and process all device data at the substation level, reducing bandwidth requirements and total system complexity.
