GE Multilin H500

The GE Multilin H500 provides a reliable platform to run Windows applications for industrial and utility applications that fit into a company’s existing Windows environment. With its modern and robust design, the GE Multilin H500 is designed for rugged computing needs and mission-critical applications, where high-performance processing and reliable operations are required.

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 H500 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 H500:

• Standardize substation architectures with a reliable IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 compliant platform, with no moving parts
• Flexible operations with Windows operating system, allowing users to run multiple software applications tailored to their needs
• Simplify engineering and operations through consolidation of hardware interfaces
• Reduce system cost by eliminating external red boxes, with built-in PRP and HSR functionality
• Improve time synchronization performance with Precision Time Protocol (IEEE1588 PTP) or IRIG-B
• Built-in security Encrypted SSDs, Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

Multilin H500’s Applications:

• Substation HMI Computer
• Central Authentication Server
• Security Key Distribution and Management Center
• Engineering Workstation
• The hardened Substation Automation computer
• Rugged Industrial Automation Computer

The H500 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 H500 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.
