Get Data Sheet

The VCL-3030, IEC 60870-5-101/IEC 60870-5-104 Protocol Converter is a ruggedized, sub-station hardened protocol converter which may be used to convert Serial -101 RTU Data to Ethernet -104 RTU Data and vice-versa. The VCL-3030 meets and complies with the IEC-61850-3, EMI, EMC, Surge and Temperature specifications making it suitable for all types of industrial installations, including sub-stations, to provide uninterrupted service even in the most demanding and harsh environments.

-101 to -104 Protocol Converter Application:

The most common application for the VCL-3030, -101/-104 RTU Protocol Converter is to allow the continued use of the legacy IEC 60870-5-101 RTUs that provide serial -101 data in substations and SCADA networks while the utility upgrades to Ethernet transmission networks and -104 protocol RTUs. By simply installing the VCL-3030, -101 / -104 Protocol Converter, the existing serial IEC 60870-5-101 RTU equipment can be used to emulate an Ethernet based IEC 60870-5-104 RTU without incurring a large capex and without the tiresome task of having to replace or rewire the existing -101 RTUs.
