SEL 2240 Axion

SEL-2240 Axion
Rugged Digital I/O, Analog I/O, Current and

Voltage Measurements, and Control for
Your Toughest Applications
The SEL Axion® is a fully integrated modular digital I/O, analog I/O, current and voltage measurement, and control
solution suitable for many utility and industrial applications. It combines the communications, built-in security, and
IEC 61131 logic engine of the SEL Real-Time Automation Controller (RTAC) family with a durable suite of I/O mod-
ules that provide high-speed, deterministic, control performance over an EtherCAT® backplane.
Major Features and Benefits

➤ High-Speed and High-Accuracy DC Analog Control. The Axion DC Analog Output module provides high-
accuracy current and voltage control signals for low-level self-wetted (sourcing) control applications.
➤ Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) Control. The PID function block provides advanced closed-loop control
for analog set points commonly used in generator and process control.
➤ Synchronized Current and Voltage Measurements. Retrieve high-accuracy current and voltage measurements
with the advantage of synchronized measurements. Multiple CT/PT modules in an Axion system sample all
measurements at the same time to ensure a common reference for all voltages and currents. This enables many
time-deterministic control applications without performing additional processing to align the measurements to a
reference. Use this capability to accomplish complex control schemes including load shedding, microgrid control,
and autosynchronization.
➤ Top of Second Synchronized Measurements. When connected to IRIG, synchronize the measurement of all
CT/PT modules to the top of the second. This enables Axions in geographically dispersed locations to run
algorithms on voltage and current measurements and provide time-aligned data from all the Axion modules. This
expands time-deterministic control capability to wide-area applications because the CT/PT measurements from
multiple Axion systems are all synchronized.

➤ Protection Against Malware and Other Cybersecurity Threats. Protect your RTAC system with exe-
GUARD®, which uses advanced cryptographic algorithms to authorize the execution of any program or service on
the system. Any tasks not approved by the whitelist are blocked from operation.
➤ RTU and PLC in a Single System. Employ the Axion’s I/O, SCADA communications, and control logic support
in many industrial and utility applications.
➤ Simple Setup With ACSELERATOR RTAC® SEL-5033 Software. Use standard device templates to build a
system, including I/O modules, quickly.
➤ Flexible I/O Selections. Choose a custom mix of digital and analog I/O modules that suit the application. Include
hundreds of points in a single panel, all connected to a deterministic EtherCAT backplane.
➤ Advanced User Authentication and System Security. Enforce LDAP user accounts to maintain security
perimeter integrity. Apply corporate logging and port control policies to comply with NERC/CIP requirements.
➤ Integrated Web-Based Human-Machine Interface (HMI). Integrate the SEL-2241 RTAC module directly into
the Axion system. The RTAC, via the embedded web server, includes a flexible graphical HMI system.
➤ Deterministic I/O Performance. Update connected I/O at a deterministic frequency; all inputs provide 1 ms
Sequential Events Recorder (SER) time stamps.
➤ More than SCADA. Go beyond SCADA by using the Axion industry-standard communications protocols to
enable multiple SCADA connections, as well as distributed control networks, among many stations.
➤ Networking Options. Implement I/O networks that use optional fiber-optic cables to provide outstanding signal
isolation and flexibility in module placement.
➤ Standard IEC 61131-3 Logic Design. Create innovative logic solutions directly in ACSELERATOR RTAC by
using editor tools such as Ladder Diagram, Tag Processor, Structured Text, or Continuous Function Chart.
➤ Redundant Power Supplies. Install optional dual SEL-2243 power couplers for applications needing redundant
power sources.

Load Shedding for Industrial Applications
The Axion system eliminates the need for separate input,
output, and control devices for industrial and microgrid
load-shedding schemes. Combining system frequency
and power measurements with the ability to add hun-
dreds of binary inputs and outputs, the Axion combines
the measurement, logic engine, and mitigation equip-
ment into a single unit. Employing the CT/PT module’s
frequency and power elements, the powerful logic engine
in the Axion incorporates system variables into fast-act-
ing control logic for underfrequency or demand control
load shedding. Complete with the HMI, the Axion is a
standalone control system for many remedial action
schemes.
