More information
Fanless system
Advanced passive cooling system to ensure fanless operation, even under full load and in harsh environments.
IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613
Rugged system specially made for power substations.
Virtualization
Powerful system enables the reduction of hardware in the substation through the use of virtualization.
Intel Xeon CPU
Despite it's fanless design, the RSAPC uses an Intel Xeon 4-core CPU (7th generation Kaby Lake).
Rack mount
Convenient 19 inch 3U rack mount form factor for space saving operation in a closed cabinet.
Operating temperature
Very wide operating temperature range from -40 to +75 °C and an integrated heating for trouble free operation in the harshest environments.
Server grade performance in harsh environments
The IEC 61850 certified RSAPC brings Server grade performance, reliability and security to the harshest operating environments and meet the stringent certification requirements for substation automation.
The RSAPC offers:
- highly reliable wide temperature ECC memory
- solid states drives for silent operation without moving parts
- fanless thermal management system, utilizing heat pipes and a heating system to ensure reliable boot at sub-zero temperatures.
- High-performance Intel Xeon quadcore/octathread processor
- integrated TPM 2.0 module for advanced security and management features

Keep your critical application running
Design quality, dependable components and a maintenance free cooling system strive to eliminate critical components, to keep your critical application running.
- No moving parts like fans and conventional spinning hard disc drives removes the most common sources of failure
- Unique thermal management system, with heat pipes that connect all critical components to generously sized heatsinks allows operatation in environments with up to 75°C (167°F).
- The electrical heating systems enables reliable boot up behaviour at -40°C (-40°F).
High availability
- The RSAPC features an array of solid-state drives to drive availability up to the standards for critical applications.
- Problems with dust, worn down bearings and failing fans are eliminated by removing all moving parts from the system design.
- ECC protected system memory can correct any single bit error in the RSAPCs main memory and prevents flipping bits from crashing core applications or introducing logic errors while controlling critical infrastructure.
- The redundant power supply can accept DC voltages from 17 to 160V, perfect for use with a battery bank as a backup power source, or 90 to 264V AC voltage to leverage redundant power sources to maximize up time. In addition there is a HVDC option with 140 – 370 V DC.
Easy to maintain
- Redundant hot-swap power supply modules and the 2.5” solid state drives allow replaced without shutting the system down.
- RAM upgrades can be done without opening the main chassis via a small service hatch.
Build to Order – Tailored for your Application
The RSAPC can cover a broad range of applications out of the box. Build to order options can adapt the system to other applications by expanding memory, I/O capabilities or increase performance.
Optional Features
- Up to 64Gb RAM (PC4-19200)
- Industrial grade wide temperature Single Level Cell (SLC) up to 500GB
- Industrial grade wide temperature Multi Lever Cell (MLC) SSDs up to 2TB
- Additional COM ports
- Additional LAN ports
- Time Aware HSR/PRP PCIe networking card

Master virtualization in IEC 61850 Substations
The Welotec RSAPC is designed to implement modern IT structures and realize the most benefit from virtualization to reduce hardware cost, increase availability and security. With its 64GB of main memory the RSAPC can run several virtual machines while assigning each of them the resources of a standalone system.
Virtualization benefits
- Run each application in its own virtual machine (VM)
- Isolate tasks from each other
- Reboot and update a single VM while all other VMs remain online and running
- Applications can be redundant and isolated without needing more than two RSAPC
- Continue using custom made or older software by simulating legacy hardware. The RSAPC also features an internal USB slot for software that requires an USB dongle.
Cyber security
Current changes in the legal environment, like the European Network and Information Security directive and common-sense demand to protect critical infrastructure against malicious and accidental infections as well as against deliberate hacking attempts. The RSAPC with its sever grade resources allows to use an industrial Intrusion Detection System in a virtual machine without increasing hardware outlay.
