SUBNET SEL Relay Data Emulator - UCAIug Promo Content/SUBNET Solutions... · SUBNET SEL Relay Data Emulator automatically collects data from physical IP or serial connected relays

SUBNET SEL Relay Data Emulator™ (SUBNET SELRDE) is a SUBNET software application

that emulates the data communications of SEL relays. SUBNET SEL Relay Data Emulator

assists you in configuring substation systems without having direct access to devices.

Accessing live relay data isn’t always possible when configuring a new system, and when it is

available, there is potential to disrupt systems. Bench testing systems using actual relays can

be expensive, time-consuming and disruptive.

SUBNET SEL Relay Data Emulator makes things simple by transforming a desktop or laptop computer into a machine capable of emulating a large range of Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories Inc. (SEL®) relays. SUBNET SEL Relay Data Emulator automatically collects data from physical IP or serial connected relays in minutes, saves the information and settings as a “virtual” relay, and enables you to test and configure while off-line in a safe and controlled environment.
