Why PowerLink IP?

PowerLink IP is a powerline carrier (PLC) solution for digital transmission grids. Use high-voltage lines between substations for cost-effective data, teleprotection and voice in modern Ethernet/IP substations. Modern digital substations need more bandwidth, so PowerLink IP provides high data rates, flexible frequency management and robust design to simplify teleprotection architecture. Eliminate separate devices, streamline operations, meet communication demands and optimize costs. Achieve data rates up to 2 Mbps with efficient bandwidth for reliable transmission. The embedded eTP 61850 teleprotection system connects protection devices via generic object-oriented substation event (GOOSE). Integrate legacy services and run classic PLC in parallel for a smooth digital transition.

Key benefits

Secure teleprotection signaling

Achieve a simplified and cost-optimized architecture for teleprotection signaling. Our secure embedded teleprotection system integration reduces complexity and enhances overall security operations.

Optimize bandwidth

Apply scarce bandwidth resources efficiently through smart frequency management. This includes noncontiguous frequency bands, asymmetrical data streams and dynamic rate adaptation for robust communication.

Migrate and integrate with ease

Integrate PowerLink IP into your existing PLC infrastructure. Transition to a packet-based substation with flexible migration scenarios, supporting the integration of legacy devices for continuity.
