Product Description
The Schneider Electric Pacis C264 is a sophisticated substation controller designed to handle bay control, communication gateway functions, and automated sequences within power electrical systems. Its modular architecture allows it to be configured as either a compact unit for space-constrained installations or a high-density controller for complex substation bays. It acts as a bridge between field devices and SCADA systems, providing robust data concentration, programmable logic (PLC), and integrated cyber security features to ensure resilient substation automation.
Application Areas
- Transmission & Distribution: Primary bay control and monitoring for high-voltage and medium-voltage substations.
- Renewable Energy: Managing grid connection and power quality monitoring for wind and solar farms.
- Industrial Power Systems: Automation and load shedding for large-scale mining, oil, and gas electrical networks.
- Railway Electrification: Control of traction power substations and catenary monitoring.
Product Specifications
- Weight: 2.5 kg to 5.0 kg (Depending on I/O card configuration)
- Dimensions: 4U height; Width varies by rack size (24TE, 40TE, or 84TE)
- Country of Origin: France
- Environmental Rating: IP50 (Front panel); G3 Conformal Coating (Standard)
Operating Precautions
- Modular Seating: Ensure all I/O modules are firmly locked into the chassis before powering up to prevent backplane communication errors.
- Cyber Security: Change default passwords and disable unused communication ports immediately upon commissioning to maintain NERC CIP compliance.
- Firmware Lifecycle: Verify that the C264 firmware version is synchronized with the Pacis SCE (System Configuration Editor) software version used for engineering.
- Heat Dissipation: Maintain a minimum 1U clearance above and below the unit if installed in a densely packed 19-inch rack to ensure natural convection cooling.
