Prioritised messaging

Core features

  • Two-way automated communication with downline automation devices
  • Fully interoperable and easy to service
  • Flexible deployment options
  • Ability to operate as a DA NetworkFirst solution
  • Supports unsolicited report by exception (URBE), exception and integrity polling, and DNP control and configuration messages
  • Allows bi-directional transfer of status, analogue and accumulator/counter point data

Single smart grid platform

The RFN-1200 wireless interface device provides utilities a single Smart Grid platform that enables end-of-line voltage monitoring, conservation voltage reduction (CVR), and Volt/VAR Optimisation (VVO) applications, providing ease of use and simplified service for utility customers.

Full interoperability

Supports Eaton’s Cooper Power series controls and intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) as well as devices from all major manufacturers utilising the DNP3 protocol. Eaton’s CBC-8000 capacitor bank controller is available with pre-integrated RFN-1200 mesh radio wireless interface options. The device facilitates Eaton’s GridAdvisor Series II smart sensor integration with Eaton’s RF network.
Specifications
Eaton's RFN-1200 wireless interface device is designed for use in distribution automation (DA) applications, facilitating two-way automated communication between Eaton’s Yukon software platform or a utility SCADA application and a downline control or device.
