Embedded: OEM Modules

SYNC OEM enables equipment Manufacturers the capability to have the latest protocols like IEC 61850 and DLMS/COSEM in their device, at minimal capital costs and faster go-to-market. SYNC OEM has been embedded in various devices like Protection Relays, Energy Meters, Mini RTUs, Transformer Monitoring Systems, PLCs, Switchgears and Alarm Annunciators. 

SYNC OEM modules are specifically designed for power industry applications, with its superior processing capabilities as well as numerous interfacing options. SYNC OEMs are tested to stringent temperature and environmental levels, and has proven experience in a variety of industry segments. Numerous products using Kalkitech SYNC OEM Board has been certified at KEMA and CPRI test labs by various customers.

SYNC OEMs provide not just one-to-one protocol conversion, but support the full set of protocols.Refer the document for the list of protocol supported, with many-to-many conversion capability. Moreover, the small size and the various interfacing mechanisms like TTL, I2C SPI and GPIO makes it ideal for a large variety of products and applications.

Kalkitech has developed a comprehensive Developer Kit that will help to test and integrate the OEM modules to end devices quickly and with minimal capital costs. The Developer Kit comes with the necessary developement board and sample OEM modules hardware, configuration tools and documentation, as well as 20 hours of free technical support.

Kalkitech also provides support for IEC 61850 Level A certification from KEMA on customer devices, CPRI as well as other certification agencies built on its expertise on IEC 61850 and product management.

The following are the key features:

• Supports many-to-many protocol conversions. More than 30 protocols can be enabled

• Extensive support provided for integration and testing: Starter Kit available for all SYNC OEM Models, along with free remote support

• Maximum of 4 TTL ports, 20 GPIOs, I2C available*

• SPI interface option available for integration with vendor hardware

• Supports up to 32MB RAM & 256MB Flash*

• Supports temperature range from -400c to +850c

• Supports TCP/IP, UDP, SMTP, POP, FTP, HTTP, SNMP

• File Upload / Download, Remote configuration through customizable configuration tool - Easy Connect

• SSL VPN with AES, DES or 3DES encryption over WAN

• Transparent Channel / Tunneling support

• Custom development services to integrate your proprietary interface

SYNC OEMs have been deployed in numerous IEDs across the world.

The peformance capabilities, versatility, and form factor make SYNC OEM modules ideal for a variety of applications, which require protocool conversion to latest protocols like IEC 61850 / DLMS / DNP3.0,etc inside their device.

SYNC OEMs are powerful enough to handle more than just one-to-one protocol conversion and hence, another key application is for multiple protocol support (Eg: IEC61850+DNP3.0+IEC60870-103) in the vendor device.

Some of the common equipments where SYNC OEM modules have been used are:

• Alarm Annunciators
• Capacitor Banks
• Circuit Breakers
• Data Loggers
• Energy Meters
• Industrial Ethernet Switches
• Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs)
• Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs)
• Protection Relays
• Remote Terminal Units (RTUs)
• Switchgears
• Transformer Monitoring Systems
