Applications

Typical applications include extending serial data across IP networks.

For example, the TC3847-3 is often used to extend RS-232/RS-422/ RS- 485 signals from one protection relay to another across Layer 2/Layer 3 Networks.

Specially designed to meet stringent real time requirements for protective relay communications in the power utility industry, this Turbo Serial interface card can perform at less than 3msec. latency, end-to-end, through an Ethernet network. This extremely low latency is irrespective of the protocol used, mirror bit or otherwise, and is unaffected by the number of nodes in between. In short, it’s the fastest serial-over-IP solution for teleprotection currently available in the industrial marketplace today.

Description

Featuring support for teleprotection relays, the TC3847-3 Turbo Serial Card transports four channels of RS-232 and four channels of RS-422/ RS-485 serial data over existing Layer 2/Layer 3 networks.

Specially designed to meet stringent real time requirements for protective relay communications in the power utility industry, this Turbo Serial interface card can perform at less than 3msec. latency, end-to-end, through an Ethernet network. This extremely low latency is irrespective of the protocol used, mirror bit or otherwise, and is unaffected by the number of nodes in between. In short, it’s the fastest serial-over-IP solution for tele-protection currently available in the industrial marketplace today.

The TC3847-3 achieves minimal end-to-end processing delay (latency) by using high-performance buffering and forwarding technology. For reliable communications, the TC3847-3 supports VLAN and QoS for packet prioritization.

Key features include Traffic Monitoring and Statistics, Network Time Server (NTS), Remote Firmware Upgrade, Temperature and Power Consumption Monitoring.

Setup, diagnostics, and management are accessed via Web, SNMP, Serial Console, and Telnet. Diagnostics include LED indicators and local and remote loop back to assist with troubleshooting and maintenance.

The TC3847-3 interface card can fit into any available JumboSwitch housing option including 2S Standalone chassis and 1U/2U/4U card cages. Power supply options are 12VDC, 24VDC, -48VDC or 115/230VAC. Standard operating temperature is -20°C to +70°C and the extreme temperature version is -40°C to +80°C.
