Intelligent Electronic Devices

Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) are electronic devices manufactured for many purposes in the areas of communication, metering, power monitoring and controlling. IEDs are incorporated into ICS structures to facilitate highly sophisticated power automation capabilities. They typically are electronic components with microprocessors, such as a circuit controller and regulator device. These electronic devices can communicate through several different protocols, such as through real-time Ethernet or Fieldbus, a digital communication method. IEDs can be found in many processes and industrial control systems such as DCS and SCADA.

There are many applications for Intelligent Electronic Devices, such as:

• Metallurgical process plants
• Environmental control instruments
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing
• Food and food processing
• Sewage treatment plants
• Quality control
• Automotive manufacturing
• Mining
• Water treatment plants
• Paper mills
• Agrochemical and fertilizer
• Sugar refining plants
• Petrochemical and refineries
• Water management
