Set up your substation quickly and avoid errors, without having to write a single line of programming code. The zenon platform is structured in a completely object-oriented way – you can create a robust library of common objects and reuse them across all projects. Even complex functions such as interlocks or redundancies are integrated into zenon as standard and can be configured out-of-the-box. As a result, project development time can be significantly reduced. Especially in projects based on the IEC 61850 standard, the zenon platform allows you to generate projects automatically from the available data models.

zenon’s Application Set for Substation HMI libraries provide comprehensive templates for engineering and design efficiency. Among others, configurable process templates are available for typical assets such as circuit breakers, switches, transformers, IEDs, and more. Being fully predeveloped, including single-line display, detailed views, data model and command behavior, process templates can be applied with just a few clicks of the mouse.

Take advantage of advanced connectivity and network support

The zenon platform supports all common communication protocols in the energy industry. As a vendor-agnostic system, zenon complies with international standards, provides great functional coverage while ensuring simple applicability and safety. The protocols can be used for integration into PAC (protection, automation, and control) equipment of any type and brand and can be freely combined to achieve maximum solution effectiveness. Here is a selection of protocols supported by zenon:

  • IEC 61850
  • DNP3
  • IEC 60870-5 (101/103/104)
  • MODBUS
  • ICCP/TASE.2 (Inter Control Center Protocol)
  • OPC-UA / OPC-DA
  • IEEE C37.118 (Sincrofasor)
  • IEC 61850-90-5 (Synchrophasor)
  • 62056-21 (Measurement)

Additional protocols, such as SNMPv3, Syslog or PRP (Parallel Redundancy Protocol), can be used with zenon to support monitoring of the IT network infrastructure, perform centralized security logging, or improve the resilience of the overall system architecture.

Additional network security is provided through the optional use of cybersecurity features, such as TLS-based encryption or secure authentication, in compliance with the IEC 62351 Standard series.

Create your ideal substation automation solution with zenon

zenon substation automation software offers powerful solutions for controlling, visualizing and automating substations, in conjunction with any type of PAC equipment and high-level control systems. Many highly sophisticated functions, as well as excellent networking and security features, ensure a scalable and future-proof solution. You’ll breeze through the evaluation, development, and commissioning of your facilities, due to the zenon platform’s powerful models, standardization, and efficient engineering functions.

Application sets for substation HMI come in optimized packages that ideally fit the various types of substations, from small local substation control systems with only a few hundred tags, to regionally wide control systems that reach thousands of tags. 

Your team will be fully equipped with the knowledge and tools to excel in the application and operation of state-of-the-art substations. The long-term compatibility and product support of the zenon Software Platform pave the way for sustainable energy infrastructure projects with high investment security.
