March 10, 2010: SUBNET Solutions released a substation utility software tool to help integrators, engineers, technicians and other utility personnel build better substations.SUBNET SEL Relay Data Emulator is a versatile software application that simulates utility- specific SEL relay data communications. This simulated data is used to test communication networks, commission substations, check configurations, test firmware and more.Traditional elements of substation bench-testing are either risky, costly or both. Testing is either done in a live substation environment with potential to cause disturbances, or the test-equipment is expensive.
SUBNET SEL Relay Data Emulator enables utilities to simulate all of their SEL relays for the cost of a single relay. With SUBNET SEL Relay Data Emulator, testing can be done safely, while eliminating all potential for a power outage.The SUBNET SEL Relay Data Emulator is available as a software application that can be run on any Windows-based laptop or PC. It features built-in configuration wizards, message logging, and easy-to-use familiar interfaces. The tool is also available as a complete hardware and software solution to enable users to simultaneously simulate up to 25 SEL relays.
