Can all the features and functionalities offered by the SMP Gateway, be used with any brand of relay?
The SMP Gateway protocol licensing is based on communication protocols, not devices. Since the SMP Gateway supports most standard and proprietary protocols used in the power industry, it can connect to a large number of devices. There are hundreds – or maybe even thousands – of different devices that support standard protocols such as DNP3, MODBUS, or IEC 60870-5-101/103/104. The technical support group can provide you with predefined templates and point lists for most devices that have been already connected to the SMP Gateway. Alternatively, end-users can easily create their own templates for their own devices that use the supported protocols. Please contact Cooper Power Systems’ technical support team to know if your device has already been tested or to check interoperability issues. If any doubts subsist, we will be pleased to assist you in validating the compatibility of your device.
