2. RUGGEDCOM ELAN solves a wide range of communications and
data integration issues, from the substation to the control center
and into the enterprise. The RUGGEDCOM ELAN family of products
is based on the Linux operating system and includes the Substation
Communications Server, Universal DNP Gateway , Remote Interface
Gateway, and Front End Processor. Each product is focused on a
specific application within the utility’s communication
infrastructure. The central benefit of using RUGGEDCOM ELAN
solutions is that a broad range of users within the utility are given
secure access to the IED information that they require, made
available in a format they understand, whenever they need it. When
used with other RUGGEDCOM applications for secure remote access
and data presentation and analysis, the user benefits from ease of
integration and implementation.
Description

3. Substation Communications Server
RUGGEDCOM ELAN SCS typically resides in the substation and has a
direct connection to all IEDs. It provides a single point of access to these
devices, over a Wide Area Network (WAN) or modem connection. The
strength of the RUGGEDCOM ELAN SCS lies in its ability to support
multiple, concurrent host interfaces; each getting the specific data it
needs. For example, from a particular relay, SCADA data may be sent to
the EMS, using a SCADA protocol; a different subset of data may go to a
historian and fault files may be automatically extracted and distributed
to interested users.
Benefits and Applications

4. Deployed in the substation, the ELAN SCS provides the following
functionality:
• Open, flexible access to all substation and distribution devices, from
any authorized user or application
• Preserves investment in legacy devices and control centre
applications
• Protocol conversion/normalization and data concentration
• Automated retrieval of fault file data (sometimes called non-
operational data)
• Powerful automation processor
• Reliable extraction/presentation of relay target data
• May run on the RX1500 RUGGEDCOM APE Module, eliminating the
need for additional substation computers
Benefits and Applications

5. Universal DNP Gateway
RUGGEDCOM ELAN UDG is based on the robust, flexible Linux
architecture, and is available on a variety of diskless hardware
platforms, and I/O configurations.
The ELAN UDG can be deployed in any area from the control center to
the substation for smaller systems (<25 devices). The ELAN UDG
provides the following functionality:
• Flexible, high performance protocol routing (DNP3, IEC 870-5-104)
- Device level configuration
- Address masquerading
• Protocol conversion/normalization and data concentration
• Multi-master support
Benefits and Applications

6. Front End Processor
RUGGEDCOM ELAN Front-End Processor (FEP) is based on the field-
proven TIE (Telemetry Integration Environment) module, which was
originally developed as the telemetry front end for a major EMS vendor
and is currently installed in over 50 utilities worldwide.
RUGGEDCOM ELAN FEP provides protocol mediation capability in a
vendor-neutral configuration, allowing users of a wide range of EMS
systems to offload many of the tasks of managing communications with
their field devices. FEPs are frequently deployed to provide capabilities
not available in native front ends, such as IP network support, security,
or simply as a cost effective way to add additional ports
Benefits and Applications

7. Poll Acceleration
Although RTU response latency is rarely a significant issue in the serial
world, it is a substantial factor in a networked environment. It has been
found to be a key factor in determining how many devices can connect
on a LAN or WAN based on desired update rates. The issue is not the
volume of data but device latencies. Network based RTUs and IEDs
often take hundreds of milliseconds to respond to a DNP poll. This is
largely due to the extra processing required for the Ethernet, IP, and
TCP or UDP layers. A RUGGEDCOM ELAN FEP will poll the high-latency
RTUs or IEDs and have the data available for the master in low latency
VRTUs, resulting in lower overall latency and better network utilization.
Benefits and Applications

8. Deployed in the Control Center, the ELAN FEP provides the
following functionality:
• Offload Energy Management System’s communication processing
• Gather System/Substation data and serve data to Enterprise
consumers (i.e. EMS/DMS/SCADA, Historian)
• Supports redundant masters and control centers
• Redundancy option provides true hot-standby databases
• Protocol conversion/normalization and data concentration
• High throughput, large scale protocol conversion support 1000
Devices / 100,000+ points per instance
