Mosa DA-820C for substation automation systems
Compliant with IEC 61850-3, IEEE 1613, and IEC 60255
Supports PRP/HSR, IRIG-B, serial, and GbE connections


Today's substation computers must withstand harsh environmental conditions, including extreme temperatures and high levels of electromagnetic interference. They must also exchange massive amounts of data with the outside world through ultra-high-speed, low-latency communications.

Moxa launched the 'DA-820C' IEC 61850-3 computer series on the 14th. It is a fanless 19-inch, 3U rackmount computer based on the 7th generation Intel Xeon® and Core™ i7/i5/i3 processors and supports PRP/HSR, IRIG-B, serial, and Gigabit Ethernet optical SFP connections.

Transmission System Operators (TSOs) undertaking modernization projects for older substations need to be able to collect and display data from both existing and new equipment running on different operating systems to ensure a smooth transition.

DA-820C can run virtual machines supporting multiple OSs. Instead of installing multiple computers to run each OS separately, you can save space and money by using a single high-performance computer to run multiple operating systems as virtual machines.

To ensure stable system operation, it complies with the IEC-61850-3 and IEEE 1613 standards. Furthermore, it complies with the IEC 60255 standard, enabling seamless operation with Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) as part of substation automation systems. Furthermore, it complies with the EN 50121-4 standard, ensuring reliable operation in trackside traction systems.

Mosa provides a Proactive Monitoring utility that allows TSOs to monitor the health of their computers and take preventive maintenance measures. Various parameters can be tracked on a dashboard, and the tool can be configured based on user-defined criteria to trigger visual or audible alerts via relays and SNMP traps.
