IT Bastion has released version 1.9 of its Sinonix information exchange control system. The update introduces support for the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol, which is essential for telemetry tasks within automated process control systems (APCS). This integration allows the software to be deployed across energy, oil, and gas facilities, as well as other critical infrastructure sectors.
The new version enables administrators to define specific data types and commands for transmission between dispatch systems and equipment without requiring direct network segment connections. Additionally, Sinonix 1.9 features enhanced security event handling, allowing organizations to implement custom notification scripts and integrate alerts into existing internal workflows.
The update also modifies the software delivery mechanism, now utilizing the control channel interface for updates and signatures. Furthermore, the system now supports Astra Linux Special Edition version 1.8.6. Technical improvements include optimized data transfer for large files and overall performance upgrades to facilitate more efficient communication between network nodes.
