Advantech’s new ECU-1871 is an Intel Atom D510 Energy Controller with 2 x LAN, 3 x COM, IRIG-B and it has been designed to be the most flexible energy controller available. With IEC-61850 compliance, the ECU-1871 is a highly reliable, flexible, and stable controller which makes it ideal for all power automation and renewable energy needs.
For flexibility, the ECU-1871 has two integrated I/O slots which can be used to add a range of optional cards such as, the ECU-P1706, a 250KS/s, 16-bit, simultaneous eight channel analog input card which is best used to monitor vibrations or the ECU-P1300, a vibration signal modulation card for monitoring vibrations; which come from the transformer and the gearbox of the wind power turbine. Lastly, the ECU-P1702 is a 10MS/s 12-bit simultaneous four channel analog input card used for monitoring the partial discharging of the transformer. These three cards give customers the best possible choice to meet their requirements and make wiring, maintenance and installation a lot easier.
The ECU-1871 includes isolated IO ports, is fanless, has no internal cabling, and is protected against other damaging effects such as electrical surges and EMI therefore, making it ideal for any harsh environment applications.
