Industrial parks and renewable energy systems come in all shapes and sizes. Beginning with separate installations at a distance of a few hundred meters up to hundreds of participants spread across several square kilometers, the installations have to maintain contact among themselves and with a monitoring and control center. Grid operators are placing ever higher demands on the controllability of such virtual power stations. In order to be able to react reliably to errors like LVRT and FRT, there has to be a fast and stable rea-ltime connection to every separate power station. Diagnostic and remote maintenance tasks, e.g. state-of-the-art condition monitoring analyses, should be possible parallel to time-sensitive communications.

bluecom provides reliable real time communication technology for the highest performance requirements, specifically optimized for renewable energy systems‘ rapid exchange of information. Top reliability, easy maintenance and diagnosability, as well as adaptability to existing networks, have been achieved.
As a pure software solution, it is compatible with a wide range of CPU and network hardware, and application programs can be implemented in any topology with up to 500 participants in a resource-efficient manner.
Library functions for cyclic and acyclic communication in IEC 61131-3, C and C++ enable the simplest application. Configuration, monitoring and diagnostics are executed via the SolutionCenter.

Thanks to its compatibility with Ethernet standard IEEE 802.3, bluecom provides a sustainable solution for the networking tasks of modern power stations. At the same time, the optimization for performance with low CPU and network load also makes bluecom ideal for master-master communication in the machine and plant area.
