Description
The PG5916A Series is a highly reliable and fault tolerant Industrial Protocol Gateway. Its powerful architecture provides seamless conversion between the different protocols Ethernet or Serial based. The serial devices communicating on different protocols could be integrated into the system and extend its reach over the gateway’s redundant Ethernet. This device is designed to work in most demanding industries such as power substations, power generation, oil and gas, farming and manufacturing.
IEC 61850‑3 certified smart grid protocol gateway with high port density for substation and critical infrastructure applications.

Which version do I need?
PG5916A hardware options: six Ethernet ports as 10/100 RJ45 or 100BASE-X SFP, serial connectors as TB5 terminal block or DB9, and optional 3 kV serial isolation. The protocol function is a separate software licence from ATOP's table, written front-end then back-end: the front-end is the slave or server that your SCADA, RTU or PLC master talks to, and the back-end is the master or client the gateway uses to poll field devices. For example, PG5916A with 50ES-03SM presents an IEC 61850 server to the station bus and polls IEC 60870-5-103 protection relays on the serial ports as master; 04ES-DNSM presents an IEC 60870-5-104 server to the control centre and polls serial DNP3 outstations as master. All 48 licences in the table are offered, including serial-to-serial pairs. An optional full licence runs one or more protocols concurrently on both sides instead of a single pair. The PG5916 is the non-A platform: RJ45 serial connectors, 2 × Ethernet, one power input, -20°C to +70°C and no IEC 61850-3 / IEEE 1613 tick.
Typical applications for the PG5916A
- IEC 61850 substations that require IEC 61850-3 / IEEE 1613 equipment for up to 16 serial IEDs
- Mapping IEC 60870-5-103 protection relays into an IEC 61850 station bus (50ES-03SM)
- Presenting serial DNP3 outstations to an IEC 60870-5-104 control centre (04ES-DNSM)
- Fibre connection to the station bus using the SFP version
- Substation racks fed from a high-voltage DC supply (100-370 VDC input) with dual power inputs
- Critical infrastructure retrofits where legacy serial bays stay in place

PG5916A — frequently asked questions
Is the PG5916A suitable for installation in an electricity substation?
Yes. ATOP's selection guide ticks IEC 61850-3 / IEEE 1613 for the PG5916A, and it operates from -40°C to +85°C with optional 3 kV serial isolation and two power inputs.
What is the difference between the PG5916 and the PG5916A?
The PG5916A adds IEC 61850-3 / IEEE 1613, 6 Fast Ethernet ports (RJ45 or SFP) instead of 2 RJ45, TB5 or DB9 serial connectors with 3 kV isolation instead of RJ45 with 2.5 kV, two power inputs including 100-370 VDC, two relay outputs, and -40°C to +85°C instead of -20°C to +70°C.
Can it be ordered with fibre Ethernet?
Yes. The six Ethernet ports come as 10/100BASE-T(X) RJ45 or 100BASE-X SFP versions, and all six support RSTP.
What power inputs does it accept?
24-48 VDC, 100-240 VAC or 100-370 VDC, with two power inputs and two relay outputs.
Which protocol conversions are available?
All 48 front-end/back-end licences in ATOP's table across Modbus RTU/ASCII and TCP, DNP3 serial and TCP/IP, IEC 60870-5-101, IEC 60870-5-103 (master), IEC 60870-5-104 and IEC 61850, including serial-to-serial pairs. An optional full licence runs several protocols concurrently.
Which IEC 61850 features are implemented?
Edition 1 and Edition 2 client and server over MMS (IEC 61850-8-1), SCL per IEC 61850-6, 8 logical devices per port, and direct or select-before-operate control with normal or enhanced security.
How many devices can it poll per protocol?
Up to 64 Modbus slaves or servers (8000 read points, 4000 write commands), up to 16 DNP3 IEDs, and up to 10 IEC 60870-5-104 IEDs; as a DNP3 or IEC 104 server it serves up to 5 clients.
