SASensor Software

The interface: All-in-One

SASensor HMI provides an overall station overview and ensures a seamless set-up and operation of all business and mission-critical functions. The quick status dashboard and the bay-oriented approach for functions ensure ease of:

  • Configuration and set-up
  • Operation and Control
  • Maintenance and settings management
  • Data collection and analytics

The Function Block Designer as part of the HMI, ensures a graphical creation of functions and interlocks.

Functionality

Intelligence

SASensor is the substation automation solution that offers the required functionality for today’s electrical grid. The digital, open system is easy to upgrade and suitable for new (3rd party) functionality for today and tomorrow.
