2. QEI’S SENTINEL-21 FAMILY OF SUBSTATION PRODUCTS

QEI’s Family of Substation & Feeder Automation Products offer power utilities a variety of architectures to meet various needs. All QEI’s central processors use a common microprocessor, software operating system, and the same interactive, Windows based, QEI ConfigWizTM program to configure each unit’s database and Client/Server communication parameters. All QEI central processors have the ability to concentrate data from multiple Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) and discreet I/O points (status, accumulators, analog, controls) into a secure, programmable gateway communicating with one or more Master Stations.

The ePAQ-9100 is a rack mounted, multi-function IED communication gateway with front panel diagnostic LEDs, maintenance port, and rear panel communication and power connections. The ePAQ-9100’s primary function is as an IED communication gateway. The ePAQ-9100 uses the same 6CPP6 processor, network interface, 6LAP serial communication adapters, and discrete I/O panels (status, accumulator, analog, control) as the cabinet mounted STN-9150 Substation Terminal Node. (below)

STN-9150 & 9050 Substation Terminal Nodes consist of outdoor free-standing or wall mounted cabinets housing the QEI programmable 6CPP6 central processor with expandable Master Station server and IED client communication interfaces, Modular I/O panels supply traditional SCADA RTU functions include select-check-before-operate control, A/D conversion, pulse accumulation, and status monitoring with SOE.

STN-9150/9050 modular I/O Panels include:

6SIP (16-point status/accumulator input panel)

6AIP (16-point analog input panel)

6COP (8-point control output panel)

6IOP combined I/O panel (16 status/accum inputs, 8 analog inputs, 4 control points)

The DRT-9060 Distributed Remote Terminal consist of outdoor wall or poletop cabinets housing a 6ACP5 Alternating Current Processor, which detects fault currents, and derives a range of 3-phase power values (KW, KVAR, VA, PF) from 3-phase AC voltage and current measurements. DRT 9060 I/O includes:

Line Post Sensor inputs: 3 AC current, 3 AC voltage, 3 aux. AC

24 status/accumulator inputs, 6 control relays


SENTINEL-21 CENTRAL PROCESSORS QEI’s Sentinel-21 products are based on central processors that are designed for the evolving substation environment, where traditional SCADA functions are being replaced with automated systems, which integrate multiple Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) and new broadband communication technologies. Sentinel-21 central processor hardware options, and its application specific Embedded Real-Time Operating System (ERTOS) provide highly efficient communication processing for configurable routing of data between different communication ports, media and protocols. QEI’s central processors bridge the gap between modern WAN communication, older communication technologies, legacy protocol, and the growing suite of substation Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) employed in today’s substations. The Sentinel-21 central processor-based design results in a number of enhanced functions, which are common to all family models:

- Common 32 bit microprocessor design & multiple RS 232, RS485, and Ethernet communication

Interfaces

- Expanding library of Master Station (Server) and IED & Legacy RTU (Client) protocols

- Tools for the conservation of communication bandwidth through the concentrated routing of data

- Familiar, Windows based, drag & drop configuration of modular Serve/Client communications

- Local HMI available through a plug-in Laptop or LCD touch screen

- I/O panels available for traditional Status/Accumulator Inputs, Analog Inputs, and Control Relays

- Designed to meet IEEE Surge Withstand Capability test C37.90.1-2000 for survival in the harsh

utility environment

QEI’s Sentinel-21 Substation Products all use one set of common, compatible elements, which makes them easy to put into service, maintain, and upgrade.


QEI’s Sentinel-21 Processors can be configured to support multiple Master Station and IED protocols, and to intelligently route data between Masters and Substation devices:

- A selectable library of Master Station (Server) and IED (Client) protocols

- Configurable routing of data between multiple server and client communication ports

- Embedded Real-Time Operating System with high data throughput and minimal latency

ConfigWiz™ configuration software provides a powerful, Windows-based, drag & drop interface to manage the growing amount of data available in the substation. ConfigWiz™ tools configure the modular ePAQ Master Station (Server) and Intelligent Electronic Devices IED (Client) communication software, and selectively map data points between them, through the communication switching fabric that is the

core of the QEI Central Processors

PLCC Programmable Logic Communication & Control software is a user programmable module for executing stand-alone calculation and control algorithms at the substation such as voltage regulation, capacitor control or the local scaling of data between unlike protocols.

4. SERVER & CLIENT COMMUNICATION QEI’s Central Processing Units provide secure, efficient and configurable communication with multiple Master Stations (server ports) and substation IEDs (client ports). The data points for these server and client communication modules are mapped to each other through a programmable communication switching fabric that is the core of QEI’s series of central processor database and communication software. Each RTU/Gateway central processor (6CPP6, 6ACP5, or 6DIO) can communicate directly with a SCADA Master Station, and it can act as a data concentrator by communicating with multiple remote IED’s or smaller downline RTU’s. Each processor is also capable of communication with multiple SCADA Master Stations or over redundant communication links to the same Master Station. All QEI central processors (6CPP6, 6ACP5, and 6DIO) include one (1) RS232 and one RS485 serial communication port, either of which can be configured as a server or client communication port. The 6NIA Network Interface Adapter can be added to all processors to provide a 10baseT, 100baseT or 100baseFX network communication interfaces. QEI’s application specific Embedded Real-Time Operating System (ERTOS) ensures a high rate of data transfer with independent, simultaneous operation of the serial and network based communication ports. Software licenses are available for the QEI central processors (6CPP6, 6ACP5, and 6DIO) to support a library of industry standard Master Station (server) and IED (client) protocols. Server protocols licenses include DNP3, MODBUS, IEC 61850, and a host of bit and byte oriented legacy and public domain protocols (QUICS, L&G 8979, Harris 5000, Conitel C300/C-2020/C-2100, TRW 9550, CDC-44-500 & 44-550, REDAC 70-H). Client protocol licenses include DNP3, Modbus, IEC 61850, 2179, SEL Fast Meter/ASCII, and other legacy and native protocols. Each QEI processor’s modular communication software is programmed using our Windows based ConfigWiz™ program. Drag & drop menus prompt the technician through the configuration of communication ports, IED communication Clients, Master Station communication Servers, and the mapping of individual data points between the IED Client databases and Master Station Server databases.

8.2 Network Interface Adapter (6NIA)

The 6NIA provides a high speed, multi-port Ethernet interface for QEI’s 6CPP6, 6ACP5, and 6DIO processors. With 100baseT speed and its own dedicated communication processor, the 6NIA enables QEI’s RTUs to function in a modern LAN/WAN environment and simultaneously:

- Collect data from network capable IED’s

- Concentrate and serve data to multiple SCADA Master Stations

- Support a Web Page MMI & remote diagnostic and configuration of the RTU/gateway

The 6NIA Ethernet interface ports are compliant with IEEE 802.3 (10baseT) and 802.3u (100base ports) Ethernet standards. Any byte oriented communication protocol licensed for the ePAQ RTU can communicate over TCP/IP or UDP/IP through the 6NIA. The 6NIA provides a virtual path “connection” between “servers” and corresponding “client” field devices within the RTU/gateway. Use of TCP or UDP offers users the choice of a connection or a connectionless service.

The 6NIA supports IEC 61850 in both client and server modes, including GOOSE. UCA is available over TCP/IP using RFC1006 and Ethernet or PPP links as a standard application.

The standard network protocol stack provided with the 6NIA is IP, which is user configurable for TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) or UDP (User Datagram Protocol). The IP stack is fully compliant with BSD and offers popular services like FTP, Telnet and optional WEB server. These facilities can allow easy browser access to data in the substation, and also provide remote diagnostics and configuration of the QEI RTUs/Gateways. The seven-layer ISO OSI protocol stack is optionally available for special applications. For applications that require OSI upper (application) layers, the 6NIA utilizes RFC1006 for encapsulation to TCP.

8.3 6TIM IRIG-B Time Interface Module

The 6TIM is a daughter board for use with the 6CPP6 and 6DIO central processors, providing time synchronization from an IRIG receiver, using the IRIG-B time-of-day protocol. The 6TIM board includes both modulated analog and serial digital signal interfaces, a real-time clock, 256-Kbytes NVM memory, and a rechargeable lithium battery backup. On power up, the 6TIM automatically initializes and then decodes and calibrates to the IRIG-B signal, searching first on the analog input, and then on the RS422 digital channel. If no signal is found, an error is reported to the RTU/Gateway processor and the search is repeated. An onboard LED has four distinct flash rates to indicate the mode in which the 6TIM is operating.

The 6TIM includes both NTP and IRIG-B time source interfaces, providing an economic solution for synchronizing the time base of multiple devices such as IEDs. A GPS receiver can be connected to one Sentinel 21 RTU/Gateway and then the NTP server can be utilized to serve as time source to other devices connected to the same network.

6ACP5


The 6ACP5 monitors feeder performance and power quality by detecting and memorizing excessive currents that exceed a user defined fault current threshold that last longer than a user defined time interval (Inrush Delay). The 6ACP5 operating parameters can be set locally or remotely, enabling system operators to modify the parameters to optimize performance for conditions on a particular distribution network. The 6ACP5 Automatic Switch Controller (ASwC) is a software model that provides for automatic operation of electrical distribution line sectionalizing switches, which has been implemented by QEI in full compliance with the Generic Model for Substation and Feeder Automation (GOMSFE) specifications. GOMSFE is the result of the EPRI sponsored UCA program and it specifies standard functional models for most substation and feeder automation devices. GOMSFE is based on EPRI and NRECA sponsored research activity by several SCADA and automation device manufacturers and IEEE and IEC are currently working for it standardization.

10.1 6ACP5 SPECIFICATIONS The 6ACP5 accepts and directly measures 3-phase AC voltages and currents, 3-phase fault currents and DC voltages. Mathematical computations are performed on the measured AC values to provide a wide range of additional power related measurements. The AC analog inputs have a wide dynamic range to eliminate the need for the selection of matching scaling resistors for each sensor type. The scaling for a specific type of sensor is software configurable via the ConfigWiz over the dynamic range of the input.

12. CONFIGWIZ: WINDOWS CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE QEI’s ConfigWiz™ program is a drag & drop, Windows interface used to configure the communication to each type of Master Station (Server) and IED (Client) and also structure the interrogation of the standard IED’s now used in electric distribution substations. With ConfigWiz, you can selectively map these Client and Server data points to each other, through the communication switching fabric that is the core of the 6CPP6, 6ACP5 and 6DIO processors.

ConfigWiz prompts the technician through the steps required to define an RTU/Gateway device:

- configuration of communication ports

- selection of IED communication Clients

- selection of Master Station communication Servers

- mapping data points between IED Client and Master Station Server databases

ConfigWiz includes a number of tools that manage the process of configuring an RTU/Gateway and document the results:

- Defaults parameters are supplied sufficient for the initial operation of most systems

- Online tool tip notes appear when the cursor is placed over buttons or data entry points

- A “View Component” sufficient to examine configuration data and print the results

- Export Configuration Files to transfer documentation files to word processors or spreadsheet.


12.1 CONFIGWIZ OPERATION AND FEATURES Field Device Configuration (Clients) Each Client IED device supplies data to the RTU/Gateway processor upon request. Using the ConfigWiz editors, the technician selects the quantity, type, and protocol for each IED client. ConfigWiz editors allow the technician to filter which data points are retrieved from each IED Client in order to optimize use of the communication channel, the RTU/Gateway memory and processor time.

Master Station Configuration (Servers) Each Master Station periodically queries a Server database in the remote central processor for the values of specific data points. Using ConfigWiz editors, the technician selects the type, quantity, and protocol of Master Station Server databases that the processor will maintain. ConfigWiz Mapping editors allow the technician to specify which data points will be passed from each IED client database to each Master Station Server database in the ePAQ or RTU. Data points in each Server can come from any Client database, and can be placed in any order. The combination of filtering in field devices and mapping into the master stations provides the user with complete control over the selection of what points will be transmitted. This method provides for a highly flexible data concentrator function.

Communication Port Configuration Communication port editors allow configuration of the baud rate, handshaking and signal timing parameters for each Server and Client communication port on the RTU/Gateway central processor. Each client communication port can be configured to communicate in with multiple IED Client devices, which use the same protocol.

Configuration File Manipulation Familiar Windows format commands initiate “Open” and “Close” of RTU/Gateway configuration files. After the configuration file has been created a “Write File to Platform” downloads the file to the RTU/Gateway . A “Read File from Platform” command uploads the Configuration File currently running in a QEI central processor without disrupting operation. Thereby allowing online editing and configuration. A “View Components” command provides the user with a tabular view of the RTU/Gateway configuration file, including all communication parameters and all filtered and mapped data points.


13. PLCC PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC COMMUNICATION & CONTROL QEI’s Programmable Logic Communication & Control (PLCC) software provides a utility engineer with a powerful tool to efficiently manage the large and growing amount of data now available at SCADA remote sites. QEI’s PLCC software allows utility engineers to enhance the SCADA system’s performance through intelligent processing of data within the QEI Central Processor:

- Local calculations eliminate communication delays making real-time data calculation possible.

- The limited communication bandwidth between the Master Station and the Substations can be

preserved by intelligent filtering of data that is required at the Master Station and data that

can remain local to the Substation.

- Locally executed control algorithms respond more quickly and will execute automatic local

control of field equipment even during a failure of the Master to Substation

communication link.

PLCC consists of three user-defined elements:

- A PLCC Client that contains points from all previously defined points from IED’s, Local I/O, and points defined specifically for PLCC. - A PLCC Server, which contains all the points in the PLCC Client, which can be selectively mapped to RTU/Gateway Servers. - A PLCC program, which uses the PLCC Client & Server points to perform calculations and control algorithms.

The PLCC database is created and managed on a Laptop PC using a set of Windows menus, and an Excel® spreadsheet editor that reads, views, and edits the calculation and control logic. The ConfigWiz software compiles the completed PLCC program into executable code that is downloaded onto the RTU/Gateway central processor panel.

13.1 PLCC CLIENT, SERVER, & POINT KEY LIST The PLCC program has access to all data points in all IED Clients and the local I/O Client in the RTU/Gateway central processor database. These data points are made available to the PLCC user in the form of a point key list. The point key list specifies all client data points and allows the user to define custom IED names and point names to each data point.


13.2 PLCC CALCULATION EDITING PLCC editing sessions utilize Excel® spread sheets as an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to define, view, edit, and debug the calculation and control algorithms defined to execute in the RTU/Gateway central processor. PLCC provides three types of spreadsheets for this interface:

- The Calculation Spread Sheet displays the user defined calculations which execute in the RTU/

Gateway central processor.

- The Analog, Status, Accumulator, Set Point, and Control Spreadsheets display all of the data

points from the RTU/Gateway’s various IED Clients and I/O Panel Clients that are available for use

in PLCC calculations. Collectively these are called the Point Key List.

- A Functions Spreadsheets displays the calculation functions (with descriptive information) that are

available for use in defining PLCC calculations.

- A Functions by Category sheet, which displays all of the functions separated into categories.

- A View Names sheet, which replaces the Point Keys with the user-defined point names for easier

program reading.

- A Verify sheet, which provides error information for some common errors in the Calculations sheet.

Calculations Spread Sheet The calculations spreadsheet (in conjunction with the Data Point and Function spreadsheets) provides an editing tool for defining the calculations that will be executed sequentially by the Central Processor at a frequency specified by the user. PLCC provides two views of the Calculations spreadsheet. In the editable view, the data points utilized in the calculations are labeled using the Point Key List point numbers. In the View Names sheet the data points are labeled using the user definable IED Names and Point Names from the Point Key List. The Point Key List inserts default IED Names and Point Names that can be customized by the user.
