 EcoStruxureTM Power Automation System EcoSUI– High Performances

EcoSUI has been tested under strong dataflow of 3000 MV/s + 500 xPS/s.
The limiting factor is the size of the hard-disk and the time required to
extract archives.

EcoSUI has been tested with 180 IED 61850 on one Network

Data Server
’

1. Clients (HMI / GTW) connects to all SBUS Servers and register signals
2. SBUS Servers send current values of all registered signals
3. SBUS Servers send updates of registered signals
4. If more than one SBUS Server sends valid values, clients get the value
from the SBUS Server with the highest priority
