Technology is always advancing, and now, as we are approaching Industry 4.0, we need to keep up with upcoming changes. New IIoT gateways from HMS allow industrial equipment to communicate with power grids. The IXXAT SG-gateway family is designed for Smart Grid communication and specifically target Demand Response (networking of industrial electric loads) and Virtual Power Plants (networking of energy resources like biogas plants or combined heat and power units) applications.

All the IXXAT SG-gateways support the communication protocols used in the energy sector, e.g. IEC60870-5-104, DNP3 and IEC61850s. In addition they also include Modbus TCP Client/Server and Modbus RTU Master/Slave functionality.

They can also communicate with industrial fieldbus or industrial Ethernet networks such as Profibus, Profinet or any other industrial network thanks to IXXAT technology.

The IXXAT -SG Gateway comes in several different versions:

  • IXXAT SG-gateway with EtherNet/IP Interface
  • IXXAT SG-gateway with I/O interface
  • IXXAT SG-gateway with M-Bus Master interface
  • IXXAT SG-gateway with PROFIBUS Interface
  • IXXAT SG-gateway with PROFINET Interface

Features and Benefits of the IXXAT-SG Gateways

  • Connects IED (intelligent electrical devices) with IEC protocols to automation PLC systems using EtherNet/IP or Modbus TCP/RTU.
  • Easy way to transport I/O data from electrical equipment in the field to SCADA systems
  • Connects machines to PLC’s and VHP/Demand Response companies
  • Supports several communication protocols (IEC61850 client/server, IEC60870-5-104 client/server, Modbus TCP client/server, Modbus RTU master/slave)
  • Transmission over *3G (*optional) or over Ethernet
  • Connects serial based electrical equipment over a selectable RS232/RS485/RS422 interface
  • Easy web based configuration using any standard browser
  • Robust metal housing for stand-alone operation with DIN rail mounting
  • Global free technical support and consulting services

Making machine and consumption data accessible

  • IXXAT SG-gateways provide data from the industrial site and from energy equipment at the same time via OPC-UA or MQTT
  • The opposite way is also possible – commands are forwarded via OPC-UA to the connected components
