Survalent’s substation automation system StationCentral is a cost-effective and simple-to-install solution for adding Secure ICCP functionality. StationCentral provides a resilient data acquisition engine, information aggregation and processing, and an HMI for utility operations at the substation level.
StationCentral is fully scalable from single- to quad-redundancy and can be configured in a distributed architecture over multiple substations to provide seamless interoperability between the substation and the control room. It supports a wide range of open and legacy protocols which run in native mode, so there is no need for an external protocol converter, internal converter, or front-end processor. |
StationCentral can be installed on any SCADA system or as a stand alone system, and offers:
- Seamless communications interoperability
- Robust data acquisition engine
- Advanced supervisory control
- Comprehensive database editing capabilities
- High performance, scalability & availability
- Flexible reporting capabilities
- Advanced viewer option
- Reduce commissioning time with automation tools
Seamless Communications Interoperability
StationCentral supports a wide range of protocols including Secure ICCP, ICCP, MultiSpeak, OPC, SNMP, DNP3, Modbus RTU & TCP, and the family of IEC protocols (IEC 61850 Edition 1 & Edition 2, IEC 60870 101, 104). All protocols run in native mode, so there is no need for an external protocol converter, internal converter, or front-end processor.
The Gateway solution converts protocols from substation devices to standard protocol. Interoperability is achieved in the data exchange by defining servers, virtual RTUs, and datasets. The server editor allows you to define links to other systems.

Data Acquisition Engine & Gateway
Included with StationCentral is STC Explorer, database editing software to manage all database points, access control, control zones, system parameters, and setup of advanced applications. The database editor provides a graphical, tree-like representation of the complete database and supports easy navigation throughout the database to the desired items to be edited. The Gateway solution converts protocols from substation devices to standard protocol allowing you to communicate with systems outside of your substation.
The application is capable of accommodating an unlimited quantity of status and control points, analog input points, text points, communication lines, RTUs, IEDs, reports, and graphic symbols. The displays on all workstations are updated and responsive to controls throughout an alarm burst. The application is third-party tested and meets the system availability requirements in accordance with IEEE standards.

Optional Applications
Survalent Comtrade Viewer provides operators with a variety of analytics, calculators, and visualization capabilities to conduct data forensics and enable advanced substation automation. Users can examine relay data in tables, graphs, and animations to better understand outages, identify root causes and faults, monitor the health of assets, and prescribe protective maintenance.
IED Wizard automates the creation of the database for intelligent electronic devices (IEDs), significantly reducing commissioning time by enabling increased productivity and through the elimination of point addressing errors.
Express DB a powerful visual tool for setup, integration and commissioning work. Building new databases and maintaining existing ones is dramatically simplified, eliminating the need for use of multiple tools/applications to perform rapid database modifications.
