VCL-TP, Teleprotection Equipment may be used independently, in a standalone point-to-point application, or as an integral extension of the VCL-MX Version 6, E1 Voice and Data Multiplexer solution to provide Teleprotection over SDH or PDH data networks.

VCL-TP, Teleprotection Equipment offers up to 8, 2-way independent command channels which can be operated selectively or simultaneously with Binary and IEC-61850 GOOSE Protection Schemes (PSCH A and PSCH B). The VCL-TP, Teleprotection Equipment is suitable for deployment in Sub-Stations that use “Binary” as well as “GOOSE” Protection Schemes without any modification in system hardware or software.
