As the national smart grid construction continues to advance, the construction of new smart substations and the intelligent upgrading of existing substations have become an inevitable trend. To adapt to this development wave, Shenzhen Xinmai has developed an IoT integrated solution that can help achieve centralized remote monitoring and intelligent management of substations.

Achieving Intelligent Centralized Remote Monitoring and Management of Substations

Intelligent centralized remote monitoring and management of substations is achieved through means such as IoT, sensors, and computer technology. The IoT host real-time collects and monitors data from infrastructure and critical electrical equipment across the entire substation, such as temperature and humidity, heating and ventilation, fire protection, transformers, and power distribution. This data is interconnected with the substation's integrated information platform, meeting the smart substation's 24/7 demand for centralized remote monitoring and intelligent control of its internal facilities and surrounding environment. This provides solid support for safer, more stable, and more efficient operation of substations.

Against the backdrop of China's expanding power grid, achieving centralized remote monitoring and intelligent management of substations is a key factor in ensuring power supply safety and quality. However, in practical applications, the IoT host must possess the ability to connect to various external devices and operate normally in harsh environments (such as strong winds, thunderstorms, electromagnetic interference). Furthermore, the collection, storage, and processing of real-time data from multiple subsystems place higher demands on the IoT host's real-time response capability, computing power, and caching capacity.

Therefore, customers in the industry tend to choose industrial computer products with powerful data processing capabilities and flexible deployment options to build their hardware systems. The independently developed IPC2100 series IoT industrial all-in-one machine can meet the various application requirements for centralized remote monitoring and intelligent management of substations.

IPC2100 Series IoT Industrial All-in-One Machine

A supplier focused on industrial computer products, providing customized production services for diverse ARM-architecture embedded industrial control motherboards, embedded industrial control barebone systems/industrial all-in-one machines, and industrial panel PCs to customers across various industries.

For intelligent applications of centralized remote monitoring and management in substations, the IPC2100 series IoT industrial all-in-one machine offers a high-performance solution.

This product supports the Broadcom BCM2711 quad-core Cortex-A72 (ARM v8) 64-bit 1.5GHz SoC processor, with optional 1GB/2GB/4GB/8GB LPDDR4-3200 SDRAM and optional 8GB/16GB/32GB eMMC flash storage. It supports micro-SD Card and M.2 NVMe SSD expansion, offering excellent computing performance and larger memory capacity.

The IPC2100 series integrates a graphics controller. The power interface is 1 x DC input, a 2-pin 3.5mm pitch Phoenix terminal with screw holes, supporting 9V~36V input, with signal definition VIN+/GND. The audio interface is 1 x audio input/stereo output, a 3.5mm audio jack, which can serve as microphone input and stereo output. When headphones are connected, audio output switches to headphones; when headphones are not connected, audio output switches to the speaker. It also features multiple RS232 and RS485 ports, which assist customers in achieving high-speed wired/wireless network communication and multi-device networking, meeting various peripheral access requirements.

In terms of safety and reliability, the IPC2100 series performs excellently. It supports the Linux operating system, features a watchdog function and active cooling design, and supports DC 24V single power supply, providing a more stable system operating environment. With a compact size and having passed various environmental and functional tests, it possesses robust and durable characteristics such as wide temperature range, shock resistance, dustproof, moisture-proof, and anti-interference, enabling normal operation in various harsh environments.

Furthermore, Xinmai provides integrated customization services for industrial computers. From computer hardware to operating systems, product drivers, and security software, all can be designed and developed according to the user's actual application requirements, helping users achieve the maximum value from their products.
