The GARD Pro Digital TPS is designed for both simple and complex applications of digital protective relay communications. The GARD Pro D-TPS features a wide range of digital communications interfaces and supports up to eight interfaces in a single chassis, allowing for high-speed multi-terminal applications. The system is available in both a 3U chassis size supporting five communications intefaces, or a 6U supporting up to eight interfaces. Multiple communications interfaces can be used in either a redundant configuration or independent.
Extensive Communications Interfaces: Wide range of communications interfaces for use with various digital network infrastructure. This includes common leased, microwave, TDM networks and dark fiber infrastructure.
