DISTRIBUTECH 2026 was marked by intense days of technical conversations, live demonstrations, and direct exchanges with professionals leading the modernization of the power sector. Throughout the event, Conprove was present at the San Diego Convention Center (February 2–5, 2026, Booth 6208), reinforcing in practice how to increase productivity, standardization, and reliability in commissioning and maintenance routines — especially in IEC 61850 projects.

Meaningful Encounters: Real Exchange with the Sector

One of the highlights of the fair was the quality of interactions and discussions. We were pleased to welcome relevant visitors to our booth, connecting real field challenges with objective paths for the evolution of engineering, testing, and diagnostics in digital substations.

These meetings reinforce what matters most to those who operate and deliver projects: risk reduction, consistent technical evidence, and agility in validation.

Technical Highlights: IEC 61850 in Focus

Each day, it became even clearer that market demands converge on three pillars:

Interoperability and system integration in IEC 61850 environments.
Test reliability (with traceability and repeatability).
Efficiency to reduce commissioning time and accelerate diagnostics.

And it was exactly in this direction that Conprove’s demonstrations stood out.

Products in the Spotlight

CE‑MNET4: Diagnosis and Testing in Digital Substations (IEC 61850) During the event, the CE‑MNET4 drew significant attention for its resources for testing and diagnostics in digital substations, highlighting the capability to generate and publish 60 Sampled Values (SV) streams — a differentiator that supports validation, integration, and troubleshooting with high efficiency.

CE‑7012: Robustness and Flexibility for Primary and Secondary Testing The CE‑7012 consolidated itself as a robust and highly flexible solution. It is capable of performing both primary and secondary tests, covering closed-loop testing with LPITs, with full support for IEC 61850 (publishing/subscribing GOOSE and SV) and acting as PTP Master/Slave. In practice, this translates to more productivity and reliability for commissioning and maintenance trials.
