Ottawa, Ontario, May 6, 2008 – Control Microsystems SCADAPack 350E and SCADAPack 357E respond to the growing demand for interoperability and reliable communications by featuring native DNP3 and IEC 60870-5 and multi-vendor connectivity. AGA12-2 encryption ensures data integrity for billable applications or critical operations. Both products share the same hardware platform as the field proven and cost-effective SCADAPack 300 series. The IEC 61131-3 programming environment provides support for two logic applications running simultaneously on the same E-Series controller.
Integrators can load their own password-protected application offering “core” functionality for the market industry, while leaving the second application for the end-user to add custom control if needed.E-Series controllers support a full-featured FAT32 (PC compatible) file system and command line.
The command line provides direct access to the file system and configuration commands that would otherwise be sent via the E-Series Configurator software, and it is accessible over FTP, Telnet, DNP3 or local serial port.All SCADAPack E-Series controllers come with an industry leading 3-year warranty.Pricing for the SCADAPack E-Series will be the same as that used for the standard SCADAPack models.The SCADAPack 350E and 357E controllers will be available for shipping this month. “The SCADAPack E-Series controllers are a completely distinct product line from the original SCADAPack series”, 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 the continuous recording means there are never holes in the data even when communication links go down.”
