Product Variants

SYNC 2100 has three variants:

  1. SYNC 2101 with fixed I/Os (max 30 I/O points)
  2. SYNC 2111-M2 with 4 I/O card expandability (max 64 I/O points)
  3. SYNC 2111-M3 with 7 I/O card expandability (max 112 I/O points)

SYNC 2101: Built-in card having maximum of 20 DIs, 6DOs and 4AIs. It is ideal for asset monitoring of auto-reclosers, sectionalizers and capacitor banks. SYNC 2101 has numerous variants for outdoor use (high IP based rugged enclosure) as well as features like SMS send on power outage, advanced logic support, etc.

SYNC 2111: These products come with add-on I/O card options, for up to 112 I/O points, of varying combinations of DI, DO and AI. The variants are best suited for applications with Ring Main Unit (RMU), Distribution Transformers, and other assets having medium/ large I/O requirements. All models support a large number of substation protocols, and are comply to high EMI/EMC standards.The SYNC 2111-M2 variant supports a maximum of 4 I/O cards while the SYNC 2111-M3 supports a maximum of 7 cards, which can be any of the combinations of:

  • 16 DI Card
  • 16 DO Card
  • 8 AI Card(unipolar)
  • 8 AI Card(bipolar)
