communication gateway
Communication gateway
UniFusion is fundamentally designed for high-performance data exchange across heterogeneous industrial communication protocols. The platform enables real-time data acquisition, processing, and protocol conversion with minimal latency, ensuring reliable interoperability between diverse industrial systems.
Time-Synchronized Data Streams
Complex industrial environments frequently involve asynchronous data acquisition from multiple communication protocols and transmission media. Reliable real-time analytics and operational decision-making require accurate time alignment of incoming data streams regardless of asynchronous transmission characteristics.
UniFusion provides integrated mechanisms for precise synchronization and alignment of distributed data streams, ensuring deterministic and consistent real-time data processing.
Advanced Connectivity Features
Supported Communication Drivers

real-time processing
The platform provides a configurable function-oriented engineering environment based on reusable and configurable functional blocks, enabling rapid implementation of advanced processing applications without conventional programming.
Functions are organized into specialized toolbox sets, while an intuitive drag-and-drop engineering environment simplifies the design and implementation of complex processing functionalities.
Advanced real-time data processing enables automatic time alignment of data acquired from heterogeneous communication streams. Integrated time-alignment supervision continuously validates maximum allowable latency tolerances, ensuring reliable execution of deterministic time-critical processes.

High Availability and Redundancy
The redundant system architecture enables high availability of operational services and historical data storage.
Two or more independent UniFusion instances (up to four) can be interconnected through the integrated Redundancy Service, a native component of the platform.
During normal operation, one instance operates in Online mode while the remaining instances operate in Hot Standby mode. This architecture optimizes communication bandwidth utilization, since only the active instance maintains simultaneous communication with IED, RTU, PMU devices, and external data sources.
All redundancy synchronization and failover processes are fully automatic.
Optionally, two systems can operate simultaneously in parallel Online mode with automatic configuration synchronization, while maintaining independent historical databases without database synchronization.
The redundancy architecture enables highly available operation during hardware failures, software maintenance, and system upgrades without interruption of critical monitoring and control functions.
The redundancy framework supports integration of up to four UniFusion systems into a unified high-availability environment.
Fault Tolerance
The UniFusion incorporates advanced self-monitoring, fault-detection, and automatic fault-tolerance mechanisms to ensure resilient and uninterrupted operation.
The platform continuously supervises internal processes, communication services, data acquisition functions, and system resources, enabling automatic recovery and fault isolation during abnormal operating conditions.
