SEL-3505/SEL-3505-3 Real-Time

Automation Controller

Major Features and Benefits

The SEL-3505 and SEL-3505-3 Real-Time Automation Controllers (RTAC) combine the power of
IEC 61131 PLC logic with the best features of a communications processor in a small, low-power package.
With eight digital inputs, three Form C digital outputs, three serial ports, and industry protocols, the
SEL-3505-3 is perfect for adding automation to recloser cabinets and other space-limited locations. The
SEL-3505 offers four serial ports, one input and one output with an optional internal modem. In this data
sheet, SEL-3505 refers to both the SEL-3505 and the SEL-3505-3, unless otherwise specified.
➤ Simple Setup. Build a system quickly using ACSELERATOR RTAC® SEL-5033 Software preconfig-
ured templates for SEL relays and other communications connections. The Tag Processor provides
methods for visually mapping data relationships between communications protocols.
➤ Multiple Functions in One Reliable Device. Use a single SEL-3505 as a remote terminal unit (RTU),
protocol gateway, logic processor, PAC, engineering port server, event processor, and SER logger/viewer.
➤ Proven Reliability. Depend on a rugged device designed and tested to meet or exceed protective relay
standards for vibration, electrical surges, fast transients, and extreme temperatures, as well as meet or
exceed IEEE 1613, Standard Environmental and Testing Requirements for Communications Network-
ing Devices in Electric Power Substations.
➤ IEC 61850. Integrate high-speed control schemes between the SEL-3505 and relays with IEC 61850
GOOSE peer-to-peer messaging.
➤ Standard I/O. Wire loose field I/O, with as many as eight binary inputs and as many as three binary
outputs, directly to the SEL-3505.
➤ 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 pro-
gram or service on the system. Any tasks not approved by the whitelist are blocked from operation.

➤ User Security. Assign individual user and role-based account authentication and strong passwords.
Use Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) for central user authentication.
➤ Integrated Security Management. Comply with NERC/CIP user authentication, logging, and port
control requirements. Use the integrated light sensor and accelerometer for cabinet intrusion detection.
➤ Standard IEC 61131-3 Logic Design. Create innovative logic solutions directly in ACSELERATOR
RTAC by using any of the editor tools: Tag Processor, Structured Text, Ladder Logic, or Continuous
Function Chart.
➤ Flexible Protocol Conversion. Apply any available client or server protocol on any serial or Ethernet
port. Two of the SEL-3505 and three of the SEL-3505-3 serial ports can be used in software-selectable
EIA-232 or EIA-485 mode. Choose optional copper or fiber connectors for the two rear Ethernet ports.
➤ Synchrophasor Technology. Integrate synchrophasor messages from relays or phasor measurement
units (PMUs) in your system by using the IEEE C37.118 client protocol. Use these messages for logic
and control in the station or convert them to DNP3 or other protocol for SCADA usage.
➤ Data Management. Map and scale data points easily between protocols in small and large systems.
You can also normalize IED data into common data types, time-stamp formats, and time zones.
➤ Single-Point Engineering Access. Gain engineering access to station IEDs through a single serial
port, dial-up modem, or high-speed network connection.

Use a powerful IEC 61131 logic engine to

and program execution order to meet your
system requirements. Operate the
SEL-3505 as a master controller and use
SELOGIC® control equations in the

tributed sequential or continuous control
algorithms.
With a variety of physical interfaces and
open protocol options, the SEL-3505
makes system integration simple. It will
reduce engineering time and complexity,
so that you can focus on improving pro-
ductivity and efficiency rather than on fix-
ing communications problems.
