IoE3 Communications Module

Secured data communications and management

The IoE3 communications module is a powerful addition to the Callisto™ network, designed to efficiently process data from other Callisto nodes and connected IEDs while adding a new layer of security to your SCADA system. Data can be transferred to one or more master stations or managed locally using advanced utility applications provided within the CallistoView™ software package, including programmable logic and SOE recording. Built-in security features include remote authentication, secure passwords, encrypted protocols (OpenVPN, HTTPS, SSH, SFTP), firewall protection, and syslog event management. Connected to an Active Directory authentication system, the IoE3 provides logging for audits.

The IoE3 offers dual Gigabit Ethernet connections and four configurable, on-board serial data ports that may be physically presented as RS485 or RS232 circuits. Supported communication options include both byte and bit-oriented protocols. To accommodate the need for additional ports, multiple IoE3 nodes may be combined within a Callisto remote. A library of supported protocols enables the IoE3 to communicate with devices in their native language, providing an automation solution that is open in design and manufacturer independent. IoE3 technology also forms the core of DAQ’s IoG3, a secured data communications gateway used in substation networks to automate and manage large amounts of information from multiple sources.
