MINOS SYSTEM
Cities, railway stations, motorways, airports, ports, car parks, sports facilities. Where there is a lighting network and a light point Minos System can create savings, efficiency and new services, guaranteeing, in any application sphere, maximum compatibility with the existing technical reality.
Minos System is the system that radically change the management and the use of public and external lighting network.
Thanks to the installation of the Syra module in series with the power supply line, Minos System constantly monitors every lighting point of the lighting system.
In this way it is possible to monitor the lamp operating status h24 and to detect any anomalies or faults in detail.
Through the use of PLC (power line communication) technique, Minos System communicates with the single lamp using the existing electrical grid, without having to add new and expensive wiring. The system can thus decide in a flexible way, in which area and at what time to send commands to the lighting point for switching on, off or reducing the luminous flux, as well as receiving information on the status of the lamp. The use of PLC technology has several advantages such as:
- an always present and fast connection;
- a lower sensitivity to external disturbances;
- the ability to manage up to more than 1,000 devices with a single concentrator;
- the absence of electromagnetic pollution (present instead in the case of radio systems);
- the possibility of reaching isolated sites (but equipped with electricity supply) where the installation of other technologies is difficult.

ERMES SYSTEM
Ermes System is the latest product in the Smart Cities line that has allowed Umpi (DP Group's company) to integrate its historical and authoritative leadership on the powerline with radio / wireless technology (LoRa, NB IoT) in order to offer its customers the best of both technologies.
Thanks to its innovative technological solutions, Ermes System transforms public lighting systems into the most extensive communication network in the urban and suburban area.
Through the radio transmission technique use, Ermes System communicates with the single lamp post, without having to add new and expensive wiring. The system can thus decide flexibly, in which zone and, at what time, to send commands to the light point for switching on, off or reducing the luminous flux, in addition to receiving information on the lamp status. The advantages of using radio technology are:
- the possibility of using radio technology on systems that are not fully managed (only a few lamps in the plant can be equipped with a remote control system);
- the possibility of managing different systems with a single concentrator;
- a standardized protocol, which allows interoperability between different systems;
- the possibility of integrating battery measurement systems.

Integrated system for the automation of high and very high voltage substations capable of guaranteeing complete control, automation, protection, monitoring and maintenance functions. The system uses the bay units installed at the electrical stalls for their command and control, the remote terminal units to manage the automation of the substation, the bay monitoring units for monitoring, the SCADA software and, finally, the network nodes to ensure the application redundancy.

BAY UNIT: command and control of the electricity network stall

The bay units are devices designed to carry out all the command and control functions of a stall in the electricity grid station. They interface to the station devices both through local (LAN) network and through I/O interfaces.

SA100 (Bay Control Unit) and SA200 (Bay Monitoring Unit) are the electronic units, Bay Unit, belonging to the STCE family for substation automation. They are installed at the electrical stalls, are interconnected via optical LAN controlled by a station computer, and represent the ideal system for operators of high and very high voltage electricity networks, who need to renew the control and automation systems of the stations in order to maximize the efficiency and quality of the service offered.

SA100 and SA200 systems grants:
- a unique, scalable and easily extensible architecture based on the concept of interoperability between the various control, monitoring and protection units;
- the automation, both centralized and distributed on the various stalls, no longer built with electromechanical relays but via software with standard IEC 61131 interface;
- a 100 Mbit / s Ethernet standard station LAN with a single IEC 61850 standard protocol (client and server) which enables interoperability between the stall units and the protection relays, allowing the evolution over time of the individual systems or the integration with third-party systems the integration of protections and IED devices equipped with standard buses or proprietary serial and parallel interfaces;
- the synchronization of the entire system via GPS receiver, transmitted to the stall units through an optical network, independent from the station LAN, based on the IRIG-B and NTP protocols;
- an easy and safety plant configuration through station workstations;
- the simple insertion of the station automation system into the hierarchically competent telecontrol network, with standard IEC 60870 protocols (101 client and 104 client) and with free access to all the information and functionalities necessary for optimizing the electricity network and its maintenance;
- complete command and control of a stall.

SOFTWARE: plant supervision and automation platform

Software platform for the construction of supervision, control and automation centers, capable of transferring, processing, archiving information in a simple way and generating automatic intervention procedures.
SCADA EXPERT
eXPert realizes supervision, control and automation centres for networks managed by utilities, integrating all the most advanced SCADA features in a single environment. A distributed and open architecture, the possibility to choose the number of stations according to the type of application and to use processors with different technology keeping full compatibility with programs and interfaces, besides the ability to be configured according plant and man/machine interface types, makes it the ideal solution for geographically distributed networks.
eXPert is a sophisticated supervision tool, which is able not only to easily transfer, process and store information, but also to create automatic procedures, to develop specific application functionalities, and to integrate itself with the corporate information networks or with Internet or intranet
eXPert is a scalable platform allowing to carry out supervision and remote control systems for small, medium and large networks.



Efficient management of electrical networks requires that the remote control peripheral equipment manage information from and to the controlled plant in an integrated way with the other plant devices, communicate with management centers in a quick and secure manner, and ensure high level of security in configuration, maintenance and access to recorded data.

STCE-RTU 4k, like all remote contriol units belonging to STCE-RTU series, guarantee high processing and communication capacity, modular architecture with distributed intelligence for an optimized deployment, high capability in chronological discrimination and synchronization with high precision clocks, advanced configuration and diagnostic tools for simple, timely, effective and secure maintenance interventions, high levels of security and information protection to reduce the vulnerability and risk of cyber attacks (Cyber Security). STCE-RTU 4k is also used, besides electrical networks, in the control of other types of geographically distributed plants such as gas pipelines, oil pipelines, water treatment and district heating plants in concentrated, distributed and mixed architectures.
