SubstationSERVER.NET™ is an advanced substation communication server that quickly and seamlessly transforms traditional substations into SMART substations.
SubstationSERVER.NET™ is a software application providing data concentration, protocol translation, automatic logic, event file collection and enterprise connectivity for electric utilities. • Make old or legacy devices “smart” and get more out of your existing substation investment
• Mitigate substation outages with near real time access to fault records used for critical analysis
• Remote access means less time driving to substations to physically collect or view IED data
• Never lose track of critical assets with several levels of integrated redundancy
• Includes interfaces to hundreds of devices which eliminates connection headaches
• Never fall behind technology – SubstationSERVER.NET™ makes your entire substation “smart”

SUBNET SubstationSERVER.NET™
An Intelligent Substation Information Server Unifying all Substation Data For electric utility personnel who need to manage dozens or hundreds of substation devices, SUBNET’s SubstationSERVER.NET™ software is an easy-to-use and powerful application that lets you manage all devices in one place. SubstationSERVER.NET™ is a data concentrator, protocol convertor and secure access control appliance wrapped up into a single application.
AF T
Unlike many Substation Information Server applications that only focus on collecting critical operational data needed for SCADA, SubstationSERVER.NET™ collects 100% of the data available from Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED). Both operational and non-operational data is collected by SubstationSERVER.NET™. Depending on network security permissions, personnel across the entire utility can manage, control and analyze substation devices. SubstationSERVER.NET™ is designed to seamlessly integrate into any substation. The software is installed on standard Microsoft® Windows® based hardware and can use network security permissions already established by your current IT department.

• Make old or legacy devices “smart” and get more out of your existing substation investment
• Security features use existing network permissions so there is no additional IT overhead • Remote access means less time driving to substations to physically collect or view IED data • Encrypted communication makes hacking near impossible minimizing costly attacks • Includes interfaces to hundreds of devices which eliminates connection headaches
Making Substations More Intelligent®
• Mitigate substation outages with near real time access to fault records used for critical analysis • Never lose track of critical assets with several levels of integrated redundancy • Familiar computer interfaces minimize or eliminate time needed to learn application • Save engineering time by using the built-in SEL automatic-configuration feature • Never fall behind technology – SubstationSERVER.NET™ makes your entire substation “smart” • Distributed architecture design means you’re not limiting future expansion SubstationSERVER.NET™ grows as your substation evolves
SUBNET SubstationSERVER.NET™
Add Smart Grid Technology to your Substation without replacing existing IEDs Ever wish you could create a “smart” substation without replacing your IEDs with “smart” devices? Now you can! SubstationSERVER.NET™ is a powerful Substation Information Server that instantly takes existing substation devices and makes them “smart”. Whether you have old, legacy devices or newer IEDs, SubstationSERVER.NET™ communicates with any device via an expansive protocol library. Once connected to devices, SubstationSERVER.NET™ uses built in logic and advance features to “smartly” manage an entire substation.
Eliminate RTUs and Communication Processors
Expansive device support is only half of it. SubstationSERVER.NET™ makes connecting a snap. SEL devices are auto-configured. Communication with other devices is done through wizards or device templates. Microsoft® Excel® can be used to create and manage large point count systems. Say goodbye to proprietary interfaces, custom programming and frustrating networking.
Cyber-Security Managers appreciate the NERC CIP Solution If you’re looking for a North American Reliability Corporation’s Critical Infrastructure Protection (NERC CIP) compliant application, you`ve found it. SubstationSERVER.NET™ uses secure encrypted IED pass-through communication to transmit data from substation devices to users. Technologies including Single Sign On and Multifactor authentication can be integrated into the enterprise.
AF T
While SubstationSERVER.NET™ can replace substation RTUs, the solution goes way beyond traditional RTU functionality. SubstationSERVER.NET™ is designed to quickly connect to substation IEDs and provide complete operational and non-operational data to personnel across the entire utility via a central gateway.
In addition to acting as a Master device, SubstationSERVER.NET™ also includes many native slave drivers to distribute information to remote systems, including data historians such as OSIsoft® PI® and Instep® eDNA®. Also supported is the OPC standards-based connectivity interface.
Connect to any new or legacy device
The result is a comprehensive system wide secure approach, logging and consolidation of user interaction for detailed auditing purposes and secure file transfer.

SubstationSERVER.NET™ has a huge protocol library so if you have a substation full of old, legacy devices or the latest and greatest IEDs, SubstationSERVER.NET™ can connect.

Protection and Operation Personnel Get Instant Access to Fault Data
Significant planning and development has gone into making SubstationSERVER.NET™ easy to use – and it shows. Engineers and technicians will appreciate the familiar Microsoft® Windows® look and feel. Using the explorer-like interface, users easily and quickly navigate the software. Not only do you get up and running quickly, time spent maintaining your substation devices is quick and frustration-free.
Oscillography and event data collection doesn’t get much easier than with SubstationSERVER.NET™. With automated fault record collection, SubstationSERVER.NET™ automatically collects event files from individual devices at the substation and securely transfers them to the right corporate users for analysis. The right people are getting the right data at the right time without the headache.
Helps Maintenance Departments Keep Equipment Operational
Integrates Seamlessly with Existing IT Infrastructures
SubstationSERVER.NET™ stores all IED data – not just the minimal amount typically used for SCADA. As a result, maintenance departments have a new tool to help manage and monitor substation devices. Predictive and Condition Based Maintenance is now feasible with access to critical data. With native database and historian interfaces, maintenance systems such as MAXIMO™ can directly monitor substation devices.
SubstationSERVER.NET™ is not another system to hand off to corporate IT to maintain. What makes SubstationSERVER.NET™ popular is its integration into existing IT networks. Security is handled through Microsoft® Windows® Active Directory or other popular network authentication methods enabling centralized administration of user accounts.
