DANEO Control
Signal and network analyzer for protection and automation systems
Gain deep insight into your substations
DANEO Control provides an advanced measurement and recording system for conventional, hybrid, and fully digital substations. With DANEO 400 it supports hybrid measurement environments that include analog signals and messages on the IEC 61850 communication network. It scales from single device testing to multi device system analysis. With MBX2 it offers sufficient performance for large-scale digital substations.
