MiCOM A300-GTW
Ruggedized Universal
Solid-state Communication
Protocol Gateway

The MiCOM A300-GTW is a ruggedized universal

solid-state Protocol Gateway capable to interface
substation data from bay level IEDs (Protection,
Control or Measurement devices) or station level
devices (Digital Control System client/servers) to
any upper level systems (Network Management
Systems or Digital Control Systems).

With Open access to end-user’s application,

MiCOM A300-GTW is designed to work in
the mission critical and stringent substation
environmental conditions (Viz.EMC compliance
as per IEC 61850-3 etc.).

FULL COMPLIANCE WITH IEC 61850 STANDARD

MiCOM A300-GTW is based on standard and easy-to-use Windows™ XPe application platform, providing
dedicated interface to any IEC 61850 IED, either with single or redundant communication architecture. MiCOM
A300-GTW is also fully compliant with the different IEC 61850 editions, which ensures simple, efficient backward
compatibility and interoperability solutions to any refurbishment or up-gradation projects.

SIMPLIFIED COMMISSIONING AND MAINTENANCE

MiCOM A300-GTW IEC/IEC facilitates flexible interface to build multi-ring substation Ethernet architecture,
which is becoming more and more standard nowadays to mitigate the risk of complete network failure. This
IEC 61850/ IEC 61850 network split with MiCOM A300-GTW helps in easy commissioning, maintenance of
digital sub-systems with-out affecting the rest and also ensures overall system backward compatibility with
different technological evolutions (Different IEC 61850 editions/versions in different sub-systems etc.). This has
enormously simplified refurbishment of existing substation.

HOT STAND-BY REDUNDANCY FOR HIGH LEVEL DATA INTEGRITY

Customer MiCOM A300-GTW is equipped with two native independent Ethernet ports for establishing dual or redundant
Benefits network data paths to secure upper level data transfer. This can be complete by the integration of MiCOM H1xx
Ethernet board providing redundant Ethernet network connection.
