GE Multilin G100

GE Multilin G100, a member of the advanced Multi-function Controller Platform (MCP), offers a high capacity, secure, future-proof, and substation-hardened set of modular and scalable hardware and software components designed to simplify the deployment, operation, and maintenance of automation systems.

This advanced hardware platform makes it possible for a single device to host multiple functions and applications such as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Concentrator, Remote terminal Unit (RTU), Human Machine Interface (HMI), advanced cyber security features, and non-operational data storage. By these functions, substation operators can reduce the cost of deployment and operation while increasing system reliability through a reduced number of devices in the system.

The G100 gateway provides reliable and accurate collection and control of data (metering, status, events, and faults) from serial or LAN-based intelligent devices, input/output modules, or onboard I/O for master applications such as SCADA, EMS, DMS, DCS, or other enterprise applications. With its modern and robust cyber security features, the G100 facilitates smooth integration into NERC CIP and other cybersecurity defense environments.

Key Benefits Of GE Multilin G100:

• Standardize substation architectures with a cost-effective, IEC 61850-3 compliant platform, scalable for small to medium systems with up to 24,000 data points.
• Seamlessly operate in new Digital Substation, IEC 61850 substations, or at legacy sites.
• Perfect for hybrid and retrofit/upgrade installations Provides powerful yet economical distribution substation and feeder control solutions, combining advanced functionality, multiple communication ports, and local I/O in a small footprint.
• A cost-effective solution, replacing individual automation and communication components with a single device.
• Configuration and standardization are made simple with the graphical presentation, drop-down menus, and pre-configured device maps with DS Agile Studio software.
• Upgrade D20 RTUs and preserve the I/O investment with the optional D.20 Link Expansion Card option.
• Reduce system costs by eliminating dedicated HMI computers.
• Interface to distribution feeder fault indicators, acting as a mini-data concentrator.
• SCADA interface for pole-top reclosers and sectionalizing switches.

GE Multilin G100’s Applications:

• Centralized automation for transmission & distribution substations
• Industrial substations automation systems
• Asset performance management
• Solar and wind farms
• Distribution automation
• Secure substation automation systems
• Retrofit of substation automation systems
• Addition of SCADA to pole-top reclosers and sectionalizing switches

The G100 provides the computing platform necessary to automate intricate substation procedures and processes safely and efficiently. The advanced and customized automation programs are created using IEC 61131 compliant tools and math functions are performed on data points using the built-in calculator tools. The G100 advanced substation gateway can operate as a SCADA host, collecting, filtering, and sorting data from a wide range of intelligent devices (RTUs, PLCs, relays, meters), preserving original data time stamps for an accurate sequence of event reporting. Data can be simultaneously presented to multiple SCADA hosts with different communication protocols.
