Substation & network automation

Netcontrol is a leading provider of remote control / telemetry systems for primary and secondary substations.

Our main substation automation products, the Netcon 500 and the Netcon 100, replace the traditional single‑protocol RTU with a smart device that combines a secure communication gateway and a protocol converter with RTU functionality, along with additional features such as  programmable logic controllers and applications tailored for specific needs. This smart device talks both to multiple master stations and to multiple substation IEDs or slave RTUs, using multiple protocols in both directions if necessary. Several dozen protocols, both standard and proprietary, are supported. Almost any vendor’s devices, of any age, can thus be connected as part of a modern remote control and telemetry system. This means fewer manual operations and site visits: your teams will be free to concentrate on getting the most out of your network.

Primary substations

The secure and reliable management of supply systems is becoming more and more important as the requirements for infrastructure increase and penalties for service interruptions begin to be charged.

Netcon GW502-iM
Compact substation gateway
The Netcon GW502‑iM is a standalone gateway/RTU that includes all the functionality needed in a substation without conventional, individually wired IO. It comes standard with the dozens of telecontrol protocols supported by Netcontrol’s NFE software.
Netcon 500 Rack S7
Modular substation gateway & RTU
The Netcon 500 can be equipped with the required number of Ethernet, serial and individually wired IO interfaces for connection to protection relays and other subordinate devices, therefore being suitable for medium and large substations.
Netcon 500 OP panel
Substation HMI
The Netcon 500 OP is a modern, touch‑screen‑based operator panel for the Netcon 500 RTUs of primary substations and similar applications in other fields.
Substation SCADA
The Netcon 3000 Compact is an advanced single‑user, one-computer SCADA system that can be combined with the Netcon 500 RTUs of primary substations.

Secondary substations

The automation of secondary substations requires the ability to monitor and operate distribution switchgear over a wide area in a cost-effective, safe and speedy manner.

Netcon 100 Rack4 with HMI162
Smart distribution RTU
The Netcon 100 is a control and monitoring solution for smart distribution networks, capable of the remote/local control of switching devices as well as power quality measurements and sophisticated fault indications for medium voltage feeders. It can even include integrated feeder protection with auto-reclosing.

Network automation

Netcontrol provides a range of products for the remote control of electricity networks and the disconnection of faulty network sections.

Netcon 1
Actuator for disconnectors and load switches
The Netcon 1 is a powerful and reliable motor actuator for the remote control of disconnectors and load switches.

Telemetry

Collecting analogue and digital data from the remote sites and presenting them to the central system is a vital component of any successful remote control and telemetry system.

FastNet RTU
Compact and versatile RTU
The FastNet RTU can be used for small-scale data acquisition and remote control and also works as ­protocol converter and gateway.
Remote terminal for cathodic protection
Netcontrol offers FastNet-based remote units for the monitoring and control of the cathodic protection systems of structures such as pipelines.

Energy Management

In order to reduce energy wastage and strive towards a net-zero carbon society it is important first measure the electrical performance of a network or industrial site in order to identify where losses are and then take the necessary steps to reducing them. Netcontrol provides the ability to measure these parameters at a substation level with their Netcon 100 and Netcon 500 RTUs. However it is also important to understand where the losses are in the LV networks, especially on large industrial premises. Netcontrol provide a range of solutions to allow IDNO’s and Energy Intensive Industries to accurately measure deep in to their LV (low voltage) networks to better understand the nature and location of energy losses.

LV Feeder monitoring
LV Distribution Board Monitoring
Monitor the LV feeders with in a transformer station with the addition of the EWS feeder monitor unit. Providing power quality and current and voltage parameters via GSM or Ethernet to better understand power flows, dips and surges and power quality issues.
Energy Monitoring
Energy Monitoring
With cost effective, portable and easy to install Wibeee devices, Industrial Consumers can accurately measure their energy consumption in order to identify wastage and damaging power quality issues, thereby reducing their costs and risk of electrical early life failures.
