1.3 Product Over view

The D400 Substation Data M ana ger is a secure, substation ha rdened a nd CE Marked com -mu nicat ions gatew ay tha t col lects metering, status, event and fault report d ata from intell i-gent electronic devices (IEDs). It sum m arizes the d ata from devices and m akes it available to

a m aster station or ho st com put er over stand ard SCADA protoco ls. TCP/IP netw ork conn ec-tions are suppor ted over the built-in 10/1 00 MB Ethern et interface and d ial-up (externalmodem required).

The D400 com es with a bui l t- in hum an m achine interface (HMI)/an nunciator as par t of t hebase softw are. A Local HMI can be a ccessed t hroug h th e Keyboa rd, Video, Mouse interfa ce.A full feat ured su bsta tion HMI is accessed using a stan da rd W eb br ow ser (HTTP/H TTPS) net -w ork conn ection. The D400 is conf igured "online" throu gh a stan dard W eb brow ser.

Hardw are Overview

The D400 is built on a flexible, high-per form ance, expand able platform pow ered by a 650MHz or 1.0 GHz processor. It is distinguished by t he no ticeable lack of a hard drive and fan,

em ploying instead th e rugged and reliable Com pactFlash m ass storag e and engineeredheat sink and ventilation.

The D400 supports various com m unicat ion media types through a choice of input/ou tput (I/ 0) ada pter card s:

Serial (up to 8 con f igura ble 2-p or t ad ap ter c ard s): RS-23 2, RS-48 5, Fiber Opt ic (Glass orPlastic)

To change the sett ings on a comm unication card

1. At the rear panel of the D400, using a flathead o r Phill ips screwd river loosen (but d on'tcom pletely rem ove) the two screws from the top and bottom of the comm unicat ion card.

2. Using the f lathead screwdriver, gent ly pry the top o f the card from the slot and remove i tfrom the cha ssis.

3. Refer to the instruct ions in the fol lowing sect ions to m ake any required changes to theswitch sett ings on the card.

Tip: Use a small f lathead screwdriver (sam e as used to remove the com m unication cardscrew s) to ch ang e switch p ositions.

4. Sl ide the card into the same slot you remo ved it f rom, and t ighten the tw o screws.

The Hot Stan dby Fiber Optic Ethern et Sw itches support single-IP redund ancy fo r the D400.They provide autom ated fai l over between tw o Ethernet f iber opt ic netw ork connect ions(RX1/ TX1 and RX2/ TX2) th at share a single MAC address. The 1 0-BaseFL sw itch (GE Item No.

520-0 214) opera tes at 82 0-850 nm and the 10 0BaseFX switch (GE Item No. 520-0 215) oper-ates at 1300 nm .

Hot Stan dby Fiber Optic Ethern et Sw itches ca n be in stalled in th e NET1 or N ET2 slot (slots 11and 1 2) on th e D400.

If two Hot Standb y Ethernet switches are installed in the NET slots, the system m ay be usedin a dual-IP redund ancy m ode. That is, each sw itch can be con figu red with a different IPaddress to p rovide a back up network con nect ion i f the primary cha nnel fai ls.

You can use the follow ing glass optical f iber (GOF) cabling w ith the D400 Hot Stan dy FiberOptic Ethernet Switches:

50/125 m core/cladding mu lt i-m ode (gradient index) cable
