November 18, 2008 – Control Microsystems released the SCADAPack 330E and 334E, two additions to the SCADAPack family of telemetry and control devices. These cost-effective controllers are based on the popular SCADAPack 330/334 hardware platform and address the growing demand for secure and authenticated data.The SCADAPack 330E and 334E provide multi-vendor interoperability and reliable communications through native DNP3 and IEC 60870-5. Data integrity for billable applications or critical operations is supported with AGA12 encryption. The E-Series controllers support a full-featured FAT32 (PC compatible) file system and command line, which is accessible over FTP, Telnet, DNP3 or local serial port.
The command line provides direct access to the file system and configuration commands. An IEC 61131-3 programming environment provides support for two logic applications running simultaneously. This allows system integrators to introduce password-protected applications that offer value-added functionality in their chosen industry, all while leaving the second application open for the end-user to add custom control if required.All SCADAPack E-Series controllers come with an industry leading 3-year warranty and are available for order now. “The popularity of E-Series features has driven the growth of the product line,” said Dale Symington, VP Product Strategy.
“DNP3 and IEC 60870-5 allow the slave controller to store a time-stamped event whenever data points change and continuous recording means there are never holes in the data, even when communication links go down.”
