OMICRON Releases Multimeter, Network Analyzer for Digital Substations

Aug. 4, 2020
Advanced trigger conditions enable DANEO 400 to record signals and network traffic at the occurrence of different events or sporadic system abnormalities

DANEO 400 is OMICRON´s portable and flexible multimeter, recorder, and network traffic analyzer for digital substation engineers. It visualizes details of IEC 61850 GOOSE, Sampled Values, and PTP communication and offers live observation of signals by providing an oscilloscope, phasor diagram, harmonics spectrum, and binary tracks.

Advanced trigger conditions enable DANEO 400 to record signals and network traffic at the occurrence of different events or sporadic system abnormalities.

The network traffic supervisor function detects and stores events for GOOSE, Sampled Values, and PTP time synchronization issues. These supervisor events can also be used in the trigger conditions of the recording function, which makes troubleshooting or permanent system monitoring very easy.

As a network traffic analyzer DANEO 400 verifies the IEC 61850 network communication based on the SCL engineering files. It identifies and reports all differences in a way to locate and fix engineering issues quickly.

Network architecture configurations such as VLAN or MAC address filtering, as well as the correct operation of network redundancy protocols (PRP, HSR), can be tested without any effort. Furthermore, DANEO 400 offers network performance assessment functions to check the network bandwidth loads at different network locations and measures packet propagation delays for any network packets.

DANEO 400 operates autonomously and unattended from the test PC. Recordings and events are stored in the device’s storage and can be analyzed later using the DANEO Control PC software.

All functions and recordings are also accessible remotely via a remote IP connection. Even multiple units can be used as a distributed measurement and recording system, time-synchronized and controlled by only one PC software instance.
