Intelligent Communication Gateway
Landis+Gyr’s Intelligent Communication Gateway (ICG) software enables utilities to acquire and concentrate data from multiple substation and field devices for use in utility enterprise applications that enable grid monitoring and control across Landis+Gyr’s multi-purpose network. Read more
Description:
This cost-effective and scalable software performs protocol conversion and intelligently manages communication bandwidth, maximizing throughput for real-time SCADA control.
Powerful Data Acquisition and Concentration
ICG’s data acquisition engine collects time-tagged data from devices over multiple channels and concentrates it into one or more slave devices.
Flexibility and Security
ICG units at different locations can be interconnected to form a distributed intelligence architecture that can be managed from a central location. Security is ensured by the built-in Secure Socket Layer (SSL) support or through use of an external firewall and encrypted VPN appliances. The result is a system that is fully compliant with North American Electrical Corporation Critical Infrastructure Protection (NERC CIP).
Integration of RF-Mesh Communication
The ICG solution enables edge intelligence by downloading polling and change-detection applications to Landis+Gyr radios. Change bands are customizable and can be managed from a central location. The solution is also able to support field devices from different manufacturers simultaneously. ICG works together with the RF-Mesh network to ensure high availability, security and low latency for mission-critical DA applications. The system has built-in protocol conversion, supporting industry-standards such as DNP3, Modbus, Multispeak, ICCP, as well as proprietary vendor protocol.
Features
