SOPHISTICATED REMOTE TERMINAL UNIT
FOR SUBSTATION CONTROL, MONITORING,
TRANSDUCERLESS MEASUREMENT, AUTOMATION
AND GATEWAY COMMUNICATIONS.
The MiCOM C264 combines the features of several digital-
discreet devices and functions into one unit. Its high-
performance is further expanded through the modular I/O.
This design allows the user to simplify their design and
installation, improve precision and quality as well as
increase efficiency through space and cost reductions in
wiring, testing, maintenance and management.
The MiCOM C264 offers on-board communication modules
for every application with multiple standard protocols and
interfaces. Each port is able to communicate with a
dedicated protocol including IEC 60870-5-101, MODBUS,
DNP3.0, etc and can be used as a master or slave device.
High-performance with modular and expandable
architecture for every application.
