Built for the Grid
Westermo and Welotec bring together rugged networking and high-performance computing for digital substations.
Together, we offer a robust, purpose-built portfolio.
- Westermo IEC 61850-3 Ethernet switches and devices ensure secure, reliable networking
- Welotec’s fanless, IEEE 1613-compliant computers provide virtualization-ready performance
There is no substitute for 100% reliability when it comes to power systems
Considering that substations can be found anywhere from freezing cold to scorching heat, the technology within them must be designed to withstand extreme conditions. Substations high currents and conditions also demand high tolerance for electromagnetic interference, temperature, and vibrations.
Adding to the difficulty, the loss of even a single data packet can have significant consequences. This is where zero loss networks and 61850-3 come into play.
Westermo recently launched additional variants to the RedFox-5728 series, made for Substation Automation with up to 24 fibre ports. Designed to meet the stringent requirements of IEC 61850.
Zero packet loss, seamless redundancy and industrial-grade resilience
