XSERWER

XSERWER is an industrial computer designed to collect information from protection devices, regulators, recorders and other station devices. It acts as a hub and protocol converter.

The XSERWER supports DNP3, IEC 60870-5-103, IEC61850 protocols and the company’s CC-Bus communication protocol.

XSERWER – Local Station Concentrator

Characteristics of the XSERWER

Depending on the configuration, the concentrator can perform the following functions:

  • Multi-channel cooperation with remote and local Station Control and Supervision Systems (SSiNS) – The server transmits data about the state of devices (measurements, status, binary signals) and accepts control from the system.
  • Data archiving – the Xserver saves data from disturbance recorders and event recorders on its disk, and stores device configuration (settings, parameters). The collected data is available remotely via the Ethernet network for users using the Saz 2000 software. The Xserver administrator determines the list of users and the scope of access rights to the server.
  • Engineering channel support (Saz – Xserver – Device) – Using the Saz2000 software, you can establish communication with the device via the Xserver. This is important when the device has only one communication channel or direct access to the device is not possible.
  • Transferring data about devices (events, measurements, status) to other Xservers – This applies to situations when there are several Xservers at the station and the device has only one transmission channel.
XSERWER v3

The third version of the Xserwer concentrator supports C&C station devices in the IEC61850 communication protocol. Xserver v3 is available in three versions. In the standard version with two Ethernet connectors, in the version with a built-in 5-port Ethernet switch and in the version with the RedBox switch where we have 3 additional Ethernet connectors and two Opto SFP connectors. RedBox is a programmable switch that allows us to build a redundant HSR or PRP network, which increases the reliability of the entire system. The concentrator also has various software options, i.e. support for C&C devices in the CC-Bus proprietary protocol, support for devices from other manufacturers in the IEC60870-5-103 protocol with conversion to the DNP3.0 protocol for the master system. Similarly to the second version, the third version X server has up to 4 independent DNP3.0 channels

The second version of the Xserwer concentrator supports C&C station devices in the CC-Bus proprietary protocol. In automatic operation, it reads data from devices, stores and converts it, then sends or receives data to the superior system using the DNP3.0 communication protocol. Depending on the configuration, the concentrator can also visualize stations in a diagram, providing the user with local control of station devices. The Xserver allows you to connect station devices from other manufacturers in the IEC60870-5-103 protocol, this data will be converted and sent to the superior system. The number of available DNP3.0 channels is four independent channels available via Ethernet TCP/IP, UDP or the RS232 serial port.

The Xserwer Archi CPU/ETH concentrator is a concentrator with software dedicated to the Disturbance and Event Registration System. The Archi 9000/900 registration system is described in detail here: ARCHI 9000

The LVU Xserwer concentrator is an industrial computer which, together with a monitor, keyboard and mouse, constitutes a local station of the Station Control and Supervision System. The Saz2000 software enables local access to station devices via an engineering link and can also be configured for station visualization.
