New communications system for plant, pipeline use
The SEL ICON (integrated communications optical network) is a new communications product can operate as an OC-48 SONET multiplexer and-or a gigabit-fast Ethernet switch.
It's designed and built to address demanding communications needs in petrochemical plants and pipelines—anywhere communication is required to support critical applications.
By installing a SEL ICON in a number of locations, a customized communications network can be built. These networks are easy to configure with software that automatically reads the connected network and builds a visual network representation, the company notes. Networks can be managed from one or several locations, either through SEL management software called SELSA or through a generic SNMP manager.
