RTAC SEL-3530-4 Real-Time Automation Controller

As a more compact version of the SEL-3530, the SEL-3530-4 Real-Time Automation Controller (RTAC) is also a
powerful automation platform that combines the best features of the embedded microcomputer form factor, embedded
real-time operating system, and secure communications framework with IEC 61131-3 PLC programmability.

device templates for SEL relays and other communications connections. The Tag Processor provides methods to
map data relationships between communication protocols visually.
Multiple Device Functions in One Reliable Device. Use a single RTAC as a protocol gateway, RTU, logic
processor, PAC, engineering port server, event processor, and system-wide SER logger/viewer.
Proven Reliability. The RTAC is designed and tested to withstand vibration, electrical surges, fast transients,
and extreme temperatures which meet or exceed protective relay standards and IEEE 1613 “Standard
Environmental and Testing Requirements for Communications Networking Devices in Electric Power
Substations.”
IEC 61850. Integrate high-speed control schemes between the RTAC and relays with IEC 61850 GOOSE peerto-peer messaging. Poll data sets and reports from other IEDs with IEC 61850 MMS client.
Integrated HMI. Build custom human-machine interface (HMI) displays quickly and easily without the need
for mapping data tags. Because it is web-based, no special software is needed for viewing HMI displays.
User Security. Assign individual user and role-based account authentication and strong passwords. Use
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) for central user authentication.
Integrated Security Management. Comply with NERC/CIP user authentication, logging, and port control
requirements.
Standard IEC 61131-3 Logic Design. Create innovative logic solutions directly in ACSELERATOR RTAC using
any of the editor tools: Tag Processor, Structured Text, Ladder Logic, or Continuous Function Chart.
Flexible Protocol Conversion. Apply any available client or server protocol on any serial or Ethernet port. Each
serial port can be used in software-selectable EIA-232 or EIA-485 mode. The two rear Ethernet ports can
optionally be copper or fiber connectors.
Synchrophasor Technology Included. Use the IEEE C37.118 client protocol to integrate synchrophasor
messages from relays or PMUs in your system. These messages can be used for logic and control in the station
or converted to DNP3 or other protocol for SCADA usage.
Standard Data Management. Map and scale data points easily between protocols in small and large systems.
You can also normalize IED data into common data types, time stamp formats, and time zones.
Single-Point Engineering Access. Gain engineering access to station IEDs through a single serial port, external
modem, or high-speed network connection.
