The VMS 61580, a new Video Management Software connectivity option, and a first for the industry, gives users the ability to connect their monitoring systems to an IEC 61580 architected substation automation system, (SAS).The Systems With Intelligence (SWI) sensor management system already supports connection to Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, (SCADA), and Asset Performance Management, (APM), systems through legacy utility protocols but the IEC 61850 protocol provides an option for the newer industry direction in SAS.
