Unified MMS Communication for Legacy System Retrofit

Real-time monitoring is challenging but crucial for mission-critical applications, such as public utilities and oil and gas, and especially for those using legacy equipment at their field sites.


Moxa's NPort S9000 device servers provide the answer to this challenge with integrated IEC 61850 MMS and serial-to-Ethernet communication to facilitate vertical integration between field legacy equipment and SCADA systems.


The NPort S9000 Series is the world's first serial device server that can migrate serial Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) to an IEC 61850-based infrastructure for legacy substation retrofits.


First, the NPort S9000 device servers connect Modbus and DNP3-based IEDs to an Ethernet network with up to 16 serial ports. At the same time, the NPort S9000 uses IEC 61850 MMS protocol to monitor the serial IEDs’ status and report to both the field controllers and power SCADA systems.


Due to the extensive protocol interoperability range of the NPort S9000, the IEC 61850-based SCADA system can supervise the substation’s entire network, consisting of IEC 61850 compliant devices and legacy IEDs, for real-time monitoring and easy maintenance.


  • Supports IEC 61850 MMS protocol
  • Up to 16 port serial interfaces
  • Supports 4-port Ethernet switching
  • Embedded Modbus/DNP3 traffic monitor
  • Compliant with IEC 61850-3, IEEE 1613 and C1D2* standards
  • *NPort S9450I series only

NPort S9000 series serial device server enables power SCADA to monitor both Ethernet devices and serial devices via MMS protocol

MMS Interoperability

The NPort S9000 device servers can network existing Modbus and DNP3 IEDs for serial data communications. It can also converge the IEDs’ status into one network, reporting to the SCADA system through MMS messaging.

Through the NPort S9000, station operators can simplify the management of power SCADA systems to monitor all the Ethernet-based switches, controllers, computers, device servers, and even the serial IEDs through unified MMS communication.

Under the standard IEC 61850 MMS protocol, the NPort S9000 not only simplifies SCADA supervision, it also transforms the whole network into a vendor-independent architecture that can collaborate with any IEC 61850 compatible device for easy replacement and maintenance.


 

Device-level Security

Bearing in mind the constant threat of cyberattacks from various fronts, NPort S9000 device servers are armed with embedded security based on IEC 62443-4-2 standards that are defined for Industrial Automation and Control Systems.

The device-level security is available for all serial and Ethernet connections to secure data and network traffic against intentional attacks, potential threats, and operational errors as well.



 

Extreme Reliability

Compliant with IEC 61850-3, IEEE 1613 and Class I Division 2* standards, the NPort S9000 provides strong EMI protection in the form of full Level 4 EMC over communication and power interfaces.

Combined with a -40 to 85°C operating temperature range, dual power inputs, and a galvanized steel housing, the NPort S9000 is suitable for a wide range of industrial environments.

*Only NPort S9450I is certified with Class 1 Division 2 standards.
