bus that makes the system highly reliable even in noisy environments.

Pag 18
 User Manual – HUe 19/04/2024

Figure 7 – Communication between HUe and ABs

HUe controls and manages the following functions:

ITB Controller
This block controls the operation of both the HU and the ABs connected to the HU through the bus.
These functions include:

• Operation mode monitoring. It performs functions as hardware and software Watchdog control,
the states control of the ABs and the HU and the provision of diagnostic information about the
ITB status through the LED indicators and several log files. These files can be consulted by a
user with sufficient privileges through SFTP or webApp.

• Interface with the operator through the console, webApp (for supervision and maintenance)
and Easergy Builder (for configuration).

• Firmware upgrade by SFTP or webApp (using MNT port) or USB 2.0 port.

ITB Configuration
HUe maintains and manages the information that supports the real-time database, coreDb. In this
database, the I/O signals are related to the communication protocols signals. The configuration is
based on XML files that are generated with the Easergy Builder tool. These files are generated on
a PC and sent to the CPU via an SFTP connection through the MNT port.

ITB Synchronization
Up to two different synchronization sources can be configured. In this configuration is included the
priority level for each source, so there will be a primary and a secondary source. If both sources
are active, only the primary source will synchronize the system.

NOTICE
The primary source is used to synchronize the ITB, if available. Otherwise, the secondary
source is used.

The available synchronization sources are:

• A GPS connected to the COM1 port. The time received from the GPS is used to set the
system’s clock and the RTC.

• An SNTP source through Ethernet. HUe can be used as SNTP server and client.

• Protocol: Most telecontrol protocols allow synchronizing to secondary devices.

• Console: The user can set the system's time manually from the console terminal.

• IRIG-B: HUe can be used as a server and/or a client. The communication always will be made
with IRIG-B compliant devices.

Pag 19
 19/04/2024 User Manual – HUe

NOTICE
If the HUe is configured as IRIG-B server an AB_SER module must be included in the ITB. The
IRIG-B signal will be send to client devices through the COM ports of this module. More
information in the AB_SER user manual.

If the synchronization source is not configured, the console device will always be created by
default. The console operates as the lowest priority when other source is configured.

ITB Communications
The HUe configuration includes information about definition and parameterization of
communications:

• Controlling and controlled station IEC101.

• Controlling and controlled station IEC104.

• Master station and outstation DNP 3.0.

• Controlling station IEC103.

• Client and server Modbus.

• Client IEC61850, Edition 1 and 2.

• Server IEC61850, Edition 2.

• Client SPA-Bus (only available for 11.06.16 and later)

I/O Acquisition
HUe manages the information exchange with the ABs. Its main functions include:

• Processing I/O information, which offers an added value to the information exchanged with the
ABs.

• Accessing the internal bus to exchange information with the ABs.

• The HUe module has 4 digital inputs that can be used as 4 general-purpose digital inputs or as
2 specific-purpose digital inputs and 2 general-purpose digital inputs (more details below in this
manual).

Real-Time DataBase (RTDB)

The core of the Baseline Software Platform is the real-time database or coreDb. It is a real-time
database which stores not only the information acquired from field devices, but also the information
about the status of HUe and ABs included in the ITB.
coreDb also relates the acquisition signals to the communication protocol signals. This database is
generated in the CPU by using the configuration information.
The information which is received from field in real time is processed, stored in the RTDB and then
related to the communication protocols signals of the ITB, which function is to transfer that
information to the primary device.

3.1 ITB Installation

3.1.1 Handling Modules

Please note the following precautions to avoid electrostatic damages:

• Never touch the pins of the bus connector.

• Keep the module in its packaging box when unused.

WARNING
Electrostatic discharges may damage semi-conducive devices within the module.

3.1.2 HUe Location in the ITB

The HUe module must always be the first module in the ITB, that is, it must be mounted in the first
position of the first DIN rail, being the bus initiator in the ITB.
The HU can only be found in the second position of the DIN rail, if the ITB requires processing
redundancy. In this configuration, there is a main DIN rail in which two redundant HU modules are
installed and connected to the acquisition ITB by means of an Ethernet network; the system’s bus
is not used in this case.

NOTICE
In order to minimize the adverse effects of noise and heat, it is recommended to install the ITB’s
head unit as far as possible from other modules handling alternating current and high voltages.

3.1.3 Power Supply Requirements

To calculate the ITB’s power supply requirements, the power consumption of each module must be
considered. The modules’ power consumptions must be added plus a safety margin (min. 20%).
Each row in the ITB is powered independently thought the HUe (first row) or XU (second and
following rows) module.
In order to avoid ITB overload, the power supply performance should also be considered (typically,
70-90%).
The power consumption data is detailed in the technical specifications table of each module’s user
manual and in the technical label on the equipment.

3.1.4 Mount and Dismount Procedures

WARNING
It is important to assure that handling is always done while the ITB elements are unpowered.

Saitel DR modules have a DIN-rail bracket at the rear side that allows mounting on a DIN rail.
Figure 12 – Mount bracket on DIN rail

The mounting procedure is described below:

• Switch off the power supply.

• Attach the module’s rear bracket on the upper DIN rail.

Pag 25
19/04/2024 User Manual – HUe

• Press the lower front panel gently until a click confirms that the bracket is fit on the rail.

• Verify the module is anchored firmly to the rail, although lateral movement is possible.
Figure 13 – Saitel DR module on a DIN rail

The module is dismounted from the DIN rail as follows:

• Switch off the power supply.

• If necessary, disconnect the bridge(s) connecting the module to the system bus.

• Holding the module by the front panel, push the upper metal tab downward. The user can also
pull the tab down using for example a screwdriver as shown:

• Pressing the tab, remove the module from the lower DIN rail.

• Once detached, the module can be removed easily.

3.2.2 Power and Reset

Figure 14 – Power and reset

The power supply input terminal is located in the upper left area. There is a DC/DC converter, next
to the filtering electronic components, which is used to power both the HUe module itself and all the
AB modules assembled on the same row.

NOTICE
The maximum power to be supplied to the rest of modules in the same row by the HUe module
is 10 W. If the modules to be assembled on the ITB require a higher power, then, the ITB must
be divided into several rows, always observing the above-mentioned maximum power allowed
for each row.

A Reset button is included in this block allowing the user to reset all the ITB.

Power Wiring
The POWER connector must be used as power input. The input voltage range is 24 to 48 VDC, with
a tolerance of ±20%.

WARNING
For safety reasons, the use of ferrules on power input cables is recommended to avoid possible
short-circuits.

From left to right, the connecting order must be functional Earth, negative and positive terminal.

WARNING
For safety reasons, before connecting the aerial terminal to the module, it is recommended:

• To check that the voltage between the positive and negative poles does not exceed the
maximum operating voltage (see the technical table in chapter 6).
• To check that the polarity has not been inverted according to the label on the terminal.

3.2.3 Digital Inputs

Figure 15 – General-purpose digital inputs

HUe has 4 digital inputs located in the lower left, only configurable as single inputs. These signals
are useful to inform the operator about some controlled malfunction in the system. For example,
the cabinet door is open (the appropriated wired must be done).
The digital inpus 1 and 2 can be used for the following purposes:

• Digital input 1: This signal provides the HUe module with information about the digital inputs’
polarization status of the ABs installed in the ITB. When the signal is active, the polarization of
all digital signals is correct. If the signal is disabled, the HU will understand that there is a
polarization fault.

• Digital input 2: If this signal is enabled, the HUe module will interpret that the ITB is working in
LOCAL mode, whereas if it is disabled, the ITB is operating in REMOTE mode. When the ITB
is in LOCAL mode the commands are disabled.
To use these two signals with the purpose described above, they must be defined in the database
following the instructions included in paragraph 4.5.1 of this manual.

WARNING
Before doing any local operation, for safety reasons, the operator MUST:

• To be sure that the "Local" LED on HUe is lit.

• To be sure that the secondary relays are de-energized.

Digital Inputs Wiring

Use AUX DI terminal in order to use the general-purpose digital inputs. These signals are self-
polarized, that is, they do not need an external polarization source.

These digital inputs are designed for internal use within the cabinet where the HUe module is
installed.

WARNING
These signals must not be connected to equipment that are outside the cabinet. Failing this
instruction could modify EMC behavior of the equipment.

The following figure illustrates how each input receives the polarization through the common:

WARNING
These digital inputs are internally polarized. Please, DO NOT CONNECT to other power supply.
Failure to observe this instruction can result in equipment damage.

4.1.3 Network Configuration (IP / Router / Firewalls)

The configuration windows will depend on whether the configuration is for a redundant RTU or not;
two or more tabs will be displayed in the network settings and environment variables screen.
If the RTU is not redundant, only the following tabs are visible: “Network” and “Environment
Variables A”. If the RTU is redundant, the corresponding configuration tabs for each CPU are
visible, that is “Network – CPU A”, “Network - CPU B”, “Environment Variables A”, and
“Environment Variables B”, where A is the main CPU and B is the secondary CPU.

Network Interfaces
Figure 27 – Network interface settings

The network settings in the CPU can be read by clicking . Then, they can be modified and sent
to the RTU by clicking ). All changes will be effective in the next reboot.
To add new network interfaces, remove one of the existing interfaces or change their respective
parameters, use the , , and buttons respectively.
All the network interfaces integrated in the HUe can be set as DHCP client, so “IP Address” and
“Subnet Mask” fields are ignored. These data are automatically assigned by a DHCP server
through the network.

NOTICE
HUe cannot be set as a DHCP server.

It is possible to configure a Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) logical interface. This interface
allows two physical ports to be used as a single port, that is, both ports will have the same MAC
address and the same IP address.

NOTICE
When a PRP interface is defined, LAN ports are not available to be defined.

Routers
To define interfaces in different networks, a device that gives us access to different networks must
be configured. Each device is configured in the “Routers” tab, in which each respective IP address
is indicated. The figure below illustrates an example with two external subnets.

Pag 43
 19/04/2024 User Manual – HUe

Figure 28 – Using routers to configure subnets

Define the following settings in Easergy Builder:

Figure 29 - Router settings

The Destination IP and Destination Mask fields are related to the IP addresses to be reached from
the router. The Router IP is the device's IP address in the main network.
A default IP address and mask can be defined (i.e., 0.0.0.0 and 0.0.0.0) in order to access external
networks. With these settings, any device connected to the router from the CPU could be reach.

As with network interfaces, use the buttons on the right to add, remove or edit a router.

Firewall
The network ports (MNT, LAN1, and LAN2) have the Firewall tab with the following parameters:

• Defining an allowlist: A pool of IP addresses which will access the CPU through this port.
Subnet mask must be 255.255.255.255.

• Defining a blocklist: A pool of IP addresses which CANNOT access the CPU through this
port.

• Blocking a TCP or UDP port in the interface. In this case, no device can connect to this
network interface using the specified port.

Pag 44
User Manual – HUe 19/04/2024

To manage the firewall rules for each port, select it from the list and click .
Figure 30 - Edit firewall rules

The configuration of Firewalls in the system is not required. If the network interface does not have
Firewall settings, then no restrictions or capabilities are associated to use this feature.
To define an allowlist or blocklist, select the Type ("White list" or "Black list") and indicate the pool
of addresses to be included (IP Address / Subnet Mask).
To block a port, select “Blocked port” in Type field and then, indicate the port number and type
(TCP or UDP).
The firewall rules are defined in the order below:

• Firstly, indicate the Forwarding state.

• Secondly, close the ports.

• Thirdly, include addresses in the blocklist.

• Fourthly, include addresses in the allowlist.

With this configuration, make sure that the information received from one port or one address will
be accepted or rejected in accordance to this rule ordering. When a rule matches, the information
is accepted or rejected. If no rule matches, then communication is enabled
It is also possible to forward a packet received through an Ethernet port with the IP Address
belonging to another port's subnet. This is known as Packet Forwarding between Ethernet ports.
To use this feature, check the “Forwarding” box.
This feature is disabled by default for all ports.

4.1.4 Environment Variables

There are multiple environment variables defined in Baseline Software Platform which should be
known in order to configure our system according to our requirements. These variables are defined
in the “main_cfg.xml” in /mnt/flash file, which is managed and edited by means of Easergy Builder
tool, as shown below.
The environment variables that must be defined with default values are:

• CONFIG_DIR:(Default value:/mnt/flash/cfgFiles/).This is the folder in which configuration files

are stored. The CPU may have several projects stored in different associated configuration
folders. The system will load the project whose configuration folder is associated with the value
of this variable. If necessary, use an external storage device for these configuration folders (SD
card o USB pen drive).

• BIN_DIR:(Default value:/mnt/bf/).Alternative path for application or binary files. The default

directory in which application files are stored is /mnt/flash.If these files are not in this folder, the
system will search in an alternative file path, as indicated in BIN_DIR.

Pag 45
19/04/2024 User Manual – HUe

• SLOT: In a redundant system, it is necessary to define the type of CPU. It will have the value A
in the main CPU, the one that is initialized HOT by default, and B for the secondary CPU.

• WEB_IS_REMOTE:(It does not apply with HUe).

When a redundant HUe is configured, two tabs are available; the first is associated to the CPU A
and the second is associated to CPU B. The figure below illustrates the variable definition in a
redundant CPU:
Figure 31 - Variable definition in a redundant CPU

In this tab, the values can be changed and sent to the CPU by clicking ; new values will be

applied in the next CPU initialization. Using button , the current values for these parameters in
the RTU are read.

4.2 Cybersecurity

The HUe module implements a standard security policy and a default RBAC model (Role-based
access control). This model is defined and managed by a special tool, i.e. CAE (EcoStruxure™
Cybersecurity Admin Expert). Based on this model, authorized users can create and manage other
system's users. Moreover, the CPU includes a firewall.
The RBAC model implemented in the HUe module complies with the IEC 62351-8 standard.

4.2.1 CAE and RBAC

CAE is the tool designed to administer the security policy and define access restrictions for the
system and/or communication interfaces.
A key aspect of this RBAC model is that every access is controlled by means of roles; each role is
defined as a set of permissions and privileges. Permissions are assigned to users by means of
roles; they can also inherit roles though a hierarchy.
The RBAC model provides the HUe module with:

• Secure connections for local and remote maintenance: HTTPS and SSH.

• Secure file transfer protocol: SFTP.

• Firewall capability.
Default RBAC model is detailed in further sections in this manual, including:

• List of objects.

• List of roles (users)

• Allocation of each role to each object's permission.

It is not necessary to modify the RBAC module supplied with the equipment, if it fulfils the system's
requirements.

Pag 46
User Manual – HUe 19/04/2024

Otherwise, use the CAE tool for:

• Creating a user database

• Defining the roles

• Managing the RBAC model in each device centrally.

4.2.2 Users
During the engineering phase, CAE must be used to redefine or change the access restrictions for
the system, including the access rights and responsibilities.
In the basic model supplied with HUe, the SecurityAdmin user is the only user with sufficient
privileges to administer Saitel cybersecurity (please, see table below).It means that it is the only
user which is able to administer and/or modify the passwords and roles being assigned to the
users.

Viewer Viewer1! VIEWER

Operator Operator1! OPERATOR
Engineer Engineer1! ENGINEER
Installer Installer1! INSTALLER

SecAud Secaud1! SECAUD
RbacMnt Rbacmnt1! RBACMNT

Once access levels are defined in the RBAC model, the HUe web server (webApp) can be used to
add or remove users, modify passwords and assign one or several predefined functions to the
users or modify them.

WARNING
When users are modified, if new RBAC configuration is uploaded from CAE, all changes here
will be overwritten.

In webApp, use Maintenance tab in order to manage the users:

For further information, please refer to webApp User Manual.

NOTICE
For security reasons, these users’ password must be changed when the system is initialized.

4.2.3 Roles
Role-based-access-control (RBAC) is a control mechanism that defines the roles and privileges
assigned to each role. These privileges are defined in accordance to some objects and actions that
the user can act upon:
The table below illustrates the actions allowed for each object. Depending on the roles assigned to
the logged-in user in the system, a specific action is allowed or not for an object:

4.2.4 Security Event Log

The HUe module contains an event log which is exclusively used for cybersecurity. This file
registers the following data:

• Events associated with the connections to the CPU.

• Modifications made to the cybersecurity policy.

This file is only accessible by a user with the adequate rights to cybersecurity options. It can be
viewed and downloaded from webApp, by clicking Diagnostics → Cybersecurity menu.

4.3 ITB Addressing (AAP)

Inside the ITB, each acquisition block or communication block must be identified with a number.
This number is assigned with Easergy Builder when configuring the local acquisition (please see
section 5.1 ).
Once the local acquisition is defined with the configuration tool and it is transferred to the RTU, it is
necessary to define these modules’ runtime addressing. To do so, execute a so-called Automatic
Addressing Procedure (AAP) that creates a table in the memory in which the acquisition blocks
assembled physically on the ITB are associated to an address and a type. The physical
components on the system must match the configuration in Easergy Builder.

NOTICE
For AAP execution, at least one configuration needs to be loaded in the RTU; it must match the
configuration loaded in the modules that are physically installed on the ITB. For further
information about how to define and load a configuration to the RTU by using Easergy Builder,
please refer to section 5.1 .

The Automatic Addressing Procedure (AAP) must be performed every time the ITB morphology
changes, that is, every time a module is added, deleted or replaced.
The AAP procedure can be executed both automatically and manually.

Automatic Execution
For a forced execution of the AAP when the ITB is reset, switches 2 and 3 in the HUe must be set
to ON (please, see section 0).After resetting the HUe module, an AAP procedure is executed,
displaying the information about the modules that are installed and configured.
The figure shown below illustrates an example of the messages generated by the console when
AAP procedure is completed:

Pag 50
 User Manual – HUe 19/04/2024

Figure 34 - Welcome view

In this case, there is an AB_AI module with the address 1 and an AB_DI module with the address
2.
If any of these acquisition blocks which was configured previously with Easergy Builder is not
properly addressed (the “SUCCESSFUL!” message is not shown in the console), the module's
RUN led DOES NOT flash and the DIO led on HUe module remains lit.

Manual Execution
The user can force the module addressing at any time.
Log into the console with the Installer user and in BLMon prompt, execute the “claqStartAAP”
command to route the acquisition AB and the “MUX_startAAP” command for the communication
AB.

NOTICE
To execute the AAP procedure, the switch 2 must be set to ON.

If switch 3 is also set to ON, the entire procedure is performed automatically. Otherwise, follow
these steps:

• When executing the claqStartAAP or MUX_startAAP command, the following message

appears. Upon the execution, the screen will display each module's information (type, assigned
address, and serial number).

• The user will need to verify that all necessary modules are displayed with the text
“SUCCESSFUL!” next to them.

• To complete the procedure, the user will need to execute the claqTableAck command to
confirm that the information is correct. In this case, the addressing information is stored
permanently. If the information is not correct, execute the claqTableNack command in order to
indicate that there was an addressing problem and that the information being displayed must
be ignored

NOTICE
Only after executing the claqTableAck command, the information will be recorded permanently.

4.4 Local Acquisition

Local acquisition means how the system treats the HUe information received from field devices
through acquisition blocks (AB).
This manual describes the configuration of the local acquisition signals in general terms, with no
comprehensive information about the configuration of each AB. This chapter explains how
information is processed by the CPU once it is received from each module.
For more detailed information about each AB, please refer to the corresponding user manual.

Pag 51
19/04/2024 User Manual – HUe

With respect to the ITB architecture, there are two types:

• Centralized Local Acquisition: All modules are installed in the same ITB, in which only one
HUe module is installed (or two if the configuration is redundant).The ITB may have more than
one row of modules, but only the first row may have a CPU.

• Distributed Local Acquisition: There are several acquisition ITB's reporting information to a
single ITB. In this case, the system is configured as if all AB modules are installed in the same
physical ITB.
More information in the Saitel DR Platform user manual.

4.5 Treatment of Local Acquisition Signals

The claq Device is responsible for the treatment and configuration of the local acquisition signals in
Easergy Builder. This Device is created by default in any configuration of Saitel DR.
For further information about how configuring ITB and how signals are added automatically in
coreDb, please refer to Easergy Builder User Manual.

4.5.1 General-Purpose Digital Inputs

The HUe module integrates 4 digital inputs in the lower part, which are configurable only as simple
signals. These signals are useful to inform the operator about the controlled faults occurred.
The digital inputs 1 and 2 can be used for the following purpose:

• Digital 1: It informs the HUe module about the polarization of the digital signals of the AB's
installed in the ITB. When the signal is active, the polarization of all digital input is correct. If
there are inactive, the HUe module will understand that a problem with the polarization has
occurred. To use this signal for this purpose, the supervision signal POL_OK_ABDI must be
defined.

• Digital 2:Depending on its on/off state, the HUe module will understand that the ITB is
operating in LOCAL or REMOTE respectively. In LOCAL mode, the command execution will be
disabled. To use this signal, the supervision signal LOCALREMOTE must be defined in
coreDb.
Clicking the graph on the HUe figure, it lights up in green and the 4 general-purpose digital Inputs
available in the module are displayed.
For each signal, the following parameters should be defined:

• Type: Type of digital input. Only DI_ISIM (simple digital input) is available for these digital
signals in the HUe module.

• Inverse: It indicates if the signal is inverted (Y) or not (N).

• TF (ms):Filtering time to be used for the digital filtering. Expressed in milliseconds, it can range
between 0 and 255.

• TM (ms*10):Memory time to be considered for change memory. The indicated value is

expressed with 10-ms intervals, and it can range between 0 and 255.

• NChat and TChat: They have no effect on these signals and cannot be configured.
For this type of signals, “Digital Filtering” and “Change Memory” should be considered. Both
concepts are explained in Saitel DR Platform user manual.

Pag 52
User Manual – HUe 19/04/2024

4.5.2 Field Signals

HUe doesn’t have field signals but it is in charge of to do the treatment of the information received
from AB modules. HUe execute the following function depending on the type of signal:

• Digital inputs
o Digital filtering
o Change memory
o Settling Time
o Anti-Chattering
o Inversion
o Edge Configuration for Counters

• Digital outputs
o Pulse time
o SBO Command Lock

• Analog Inputs
o Input Range
o Out-of-Range Detection
o Digital Filtering
o Scaling to Engineering Units
o Cancellation of Values Close to Zero
o Range Checking
o Change Threshold

• Analog Outputs
o Reset Value
o Maintenance
o Scaling to Field Values
o Output range Configuration
Consult Saitel DR user manual for all information about how HUe executes these functions.

Press button or right-click on the RTU tree to add a new RTU by entering the required
information in following fields:
Figure 35 – New RTU

• Name: RTU's name. The name cannot be longer than 64 characters and it cannot contain the
following symbols:\, /, :, *, ?, “, <, > o |.The tree hierarchy will display a RTU identified with that
name.

• Description: RTU's description. This field is optional and can be 128 characters long.

• AB_SER: Number of the communication modules installed in the RTU. These modules are not
shown in Easergy Builder, even though its communication channels are available for use.

• Redundancy: This field must be checked when the RTU is controlled by two redundant CPU’s.

• Define default acquisition: If this box is checked, every time a configuration is created for this
RTU, a set of default acquisition modules will be associated. These selectable modules are
specified below.
The previous parameters are assigned as default values in each Configuration created for this
RTU.
For example, if “Define default acquisition” box is checked, all the acquisition modules included in
this RTU will also be included in its corresponding Configurations.
Figure 36 – Configuring the ITB

This default configuration can be hanged by clicking the button next to the ITB figure.
Build the ITB using the buttons on the upper part of the screen, having in account:

• The Addr field is the number associated to an acquisition block inside the ITB. This number
must be unique for each AB and will be used to identify both the AB and its points. The user
can change the associated address by selecting the module and using the buttons.
Selecting “Auto Address” box, when reordering the modules physically or when modifying the
ITB, all addresses are reassigned automatically. The address 1 is assigned to the closest AB to
the HUe module. If the “Automatic Address” is unchecked, the modules retain the assigned
address ignoring the changes made to the ITB.

• The Automatic Addressing Procedure (AAP) must be performed every time the ITB structure
changes, that is, every time a module is added, deleted or replaced from the ITB. These
procedure can be launched both manually, using the Console or Easergy Builder, or
automatically by using the switch 3 in the HUe module (more information in section 0in this
manual).
The RTU is ready for creating the different configurations. For more information about SOE,
please, consult the SOE user manual.

• Field Redundancy must be marked.

• IP CPU A and IP CPU B must be indicated. These IP addresses are used for communications
with Easergy Builder.

• In tab Network – CPU A and Network – CPU B, IP addresses for ETH1 and ETH2 for CPU A
and CPU B should be indicated.

• In tab Environment Variables A and Environment Variables B, the environment variables to be

created in each CPU should be indicated. The environment variable SLOT is mandatory and
must be different for each CPU. In CPU A, SLOT must be A and in CPU B, SLOT must be B.
More information about redundant configuration in the Easergy Builder User Manual.

4.6.3 Reading the Configuration from the HU

If the HU module was not built-in from the factory the configuration in the HU should be read and
loaded in Easergy Builder. Then, the necessary modifications can be done and sent to the CPU.

NOTICE
It is recommend backing up the original configuration in the RTU in order to restore the CPU to
its original state at any time. To back up the security configuration, select the RTU from the tree
and generate an EBR file by clicking the button. This file will include all the settings for that
RTU. To save a copy of the configuration, select the specific configuration from the tree and click
the same button. In this case, an EBC file is generated, which only includes the selected
configuration.

To load the existing configuration in the HU, it’s necessary to follow next steps from the Easergy
Builder Workspace.

• In the RTU tree, the RTU to which the new configuration will be associated has to be selected.
If there is no configuration, a new one has to be loaded. The HU needs to have configured an
IP address so it’s possible to communicate with it.

• Once the “Read Configuration” button ( ) is pressed, the user would need to introduce a user
and password.

• It’s necessary to choose the information to be loaded: “Network”, “Environment Variables”

and/or “Configuration”.
In case that “Configuration” has been chosen, it will be necessary to choose a name for it. After
that, the configuration would appear available in the RTU tree. If “Environment Variables” and
“Network” were selected, the RTU will take the values defined in the HU that is being read.

4.6.4 Create a New Configuration

The user needs to be familiar with the use of Easergy Builder, since this user manual only refers to
certain aspects directly affecting the configuration of the HUe module.

4.6.6 Communications
The default configuration does not include any communication Device, since this functionality
depends on how the RTU will be used in the system. Communication Devices available for the
HUe module are:

• Controlling and controlled station IEC101

• Controlling and controlled station IEC104

• Master station and outstation DNP 3.0.

• Controlling station IEC103.

• Client and server Modbus.

• IEC61850. Client (Editions 1 and 2) and server (Edition 2)

• Client SPA-bus (only available for 11.06.16 and later).

Each Device has a dedicated user manual which detail all configuration parameters.

4.6.7 Configuring HUe Communication Channels

19/04/2024 User Manual – HUe

Figure 42 – Channel configuration window

Configuration channels are shown in tab “Channels”.

Once created and loaded in the CPU, these channels’ parameters can be read and modify through
webApp.

NOTICE
The CON port cannot be used for communications, and that is why it is not necessary to
include it in the channel list.

The communication ports available in HUe are:

• Ethernet Ports. Each port use for communications must be defined as a TCP or UDP channel.

• Serial ports (ASYNC):

o COM1 (GPS input).
o COM2
o RS-485
Apart from those, depending on the number of AB_SER modules in the ITB, the serial channels for
these modules are also listed:AB_SERx-COM1..AB_SERx-COM4, being x the AB_SER module
number.

NOTICE
It RTS control is AUTO for a specific channel:

• In COM1 and COM2, the hardware will control RTS and CTS signals. CAUTION! If the CTS
signal is not received, then there is no transmission.

• For RS-485, the control for the RTS signal and the changes between the transmission and
reception modes would be controlled by the hardware IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Please refer to the Easergy Builder manual to obtain further details about how to create and define
parameters for communication channels.

4.6.8 Configuring HUe Link Configuration

Some Devices support double channel management. This functionality can be different depending
on the protocol in use. A link is the association of two channels; can also be considered as a
double channel.
To configure a channel, in the window displayed above, select “Link” and indicate the two channels
that will be associated to create the link; the operation mode and the link test time can be also
defined:

4.6.9 Synchronization

The factory configuration does not include a defined Synchronization Device. The configuration
source is defined in Easergy Builder. webApp only allows changing the configuration once it has
been previously defined with Easergy Builder.
For HUe, two synchronization channels can be defined: a primary channel and a secondary
channel, which will be used when the primary channel is not available.
Figure 44 - Synchronization configuration

The synchronization sources to be used with HUe are:

• PROTOCOL: Time is received through a user-specific protocol. Most telecontrol protocols

enable secondary devices to be synchronized.

• SNTP: The remote unit will operate as a SNTP client; therefore, two parameters should be
indicated: the SNTP server's IP address and the synchronization period through that server.

• IRIG: The time received from the IRIG device is used to set the system’s clock and RTC. The
configurable formats are: IRIG-B002, IRIG-B003, IRIG-B006, and IRIG-B007.

NOTICE
If the HUe is configured as IRIG-B server, an AB_SER module witn external polarization
(M56720000yZZ) must be included in the firt row of the ITB. The IRIG-B signal is sent to the
client devices through COM ports of this AB_SER.

• GPS: GPS35 and GPS16 of Garmin have been validated.

• PTP: As indicated in the IEEE-1588 standard, a primary device PTP will synchronize the
accessible secondary PTP devices through one or multiple Ethernet interfaces. This
functionality for Hue is available in version 11.06.08 and later.

• Console, using the commands:

o thmShow: It displays the states of the synchronization devices and the information
about current time and date.
o thmConsoleSetTime “YY:MM:DD:HH:NN:SS”:It configures the date and time
manually.

Pag 59
 19/04/2024 User Manual – HUe

Moreover, the HUe module can be configured as a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server,
as a primary PTP device or as an IRIG-B server.
The synchronization module allows the time zone and summer/winter (day light saving) calendars
to be configured.

PTP Client (Precise Time Protocol)

According to IEEE-1588 terminology, when the RTU is synchronized by an external PTP device,
the RTU works in “Ordinary Clock" mode (OC). If the RTU is a PTP server, then it works in
“Boundary clock” mode (BC).

NOTICE
The RTU can be configured a PTP client or a PTP server, but not both at the same time.

The following information is required:

Figure 46 – Configuring synchronization with a PTP device

• Port: Select the physical port for synchronization with the PTP device.

• domainNumber: Value of the "domain" attribute of the local clock. The default value is 0.

• Announce messages period: Average time interval between "Announce messages". Value in
seconds, as a base two logarithm. The default value is 1, that is, 2 seconds.
Pag 60
 User Manual – HUe 19/04/2024

• Max. Announce messages lost: Maximum number of lost messages before considering a
time-out in the reception. The default value is 3.

• Delay req period: Minimum allowed time interval between "Delay_Req" messages. It is
specified, in seconds, as a base two logarithm. The default value is 0, that is, 1 second.

• Sync period: Average time interval between synchronization messages. A shorter interval can
improve the accuracy of the local clock. It is specified, in seconds, as a base two logarithm.
The default value is 0, that is, 1 second.

• Pdelay req period: Minimum allowed time interval between "Pdelay_Req" messages. It is
specified, in seconds, as a base two logarithm. The default value is 0, that is, 1 second.

• delay mode: Delay determination mechanism. The possible values are:

o P2P. Peer-to-Peer. (available in version 11.06.08 and later).

• net transport: network transport mechanism. Possible values are:

o IEEE_802_3. IEEE 802.3 network transport (available in version 11.06.08 and later).

• vlan tagging: It selects whether the PTP frames should include their VLAN tagging (IEEE
802.1Q). Only can be select when “Net transport” is IEEE 802.3.

• ID: ID of the vlan. From 0 to 4095. It is only available if vlan_tagging is selected.

• Priority: Priority of the vlan. From o to 7.

PTP Server
Select tabs Synchronization server - PTP and configure the following parameters:
Figure 47 – Configuring the RTU as PTP server

The information for each field is detailed in the previous paragraph. Other fields are available for
PTP Servers:

• Clock Class: Denotes the traceability of the time or frequency distributed by the grandmaster
clock. Default value is 127.

• Priority 1: A configurable designation that a clock belongs to an ordered set of clocks from
which a primary device is selected, through the “Best Master Clock algorithm”. Values can
range from 0 to 255 (lower values take preference). Default value is 128.

• Priority 2: A user configurable designation that provides finer grained ordering among
otherwise equivalent clocks. Values can range from 0 to 255 (lower values take preference).
Default value is 128.

NOTICE
An RTU cannot be OC (Ordinary clock) and BC at the same time. If it is synchronized by a PTP
device, it can't be configured as PTP server.

4.6.10 Using Formulas

coreDb signals can be associated to a series of functions such as: mathematic operations, logical
operations or event triggering. All these functions are implemented and controlled by the Formula
Device available in Easergy Builder.
The Easergy Builder user manual includes all the details about the use of this Device, as well as
available functions.

4.6.11 PLC Configuration

The HUe module integrates the use of ISaGRAF®, that is, a logic programming tool working under
the IEC 61131-3 environment to develop PLC programs.
ISaGRAF® is a third party tool consisting of two parts:

• Runtime: Control and execution environment for logic programs. The license is included as part
of the Baseline Software Platform installed in the HUe module.

• Workbench: Development environment. It is installed in a PC, and needs to be purchased for

the project, since it requires an additional license that is not included as part of our software
platform.
The logic programming languages include:

• SFC: Sequential Function Chart

• FBD: Function Block Diagram

• LD: Ladder Diagram

• ST: Structured Text

• IL: Instruction List

To let ISaGRAF® interact with coreDb, a Device of this type needs to be defined in Easergy
Builder.
For detailed information about the use of ISaGRAF® inside Saitel, please refer to the Device user
manual.

4.6.12 Supervision
The Supervision Device is a default Device in Easergy Builder. The Device is used to monitor the
status of CPU's components and generates information about other components in the RTU.
Double click the “Supervision” Device in the tree to see a complete list of all the concepts available
for monitorization in this type of CPU:
Figure 48 – Supervision signals

Pag 62
User Manual – HUe 19/04/2024

In this window, check or uncheck the available supervision points to be used for that RTU.

NOTICE
It is highly recommend configuring the Supervision; besides, it is essential in redundant
configurations. The CPU itself cannot be arbitrated autonomously with the other CPU in
redundant systems, so there must be some supervision in charge of this Device.

For redundant configurations, most of the supervision points are also available with “_A” and “_B”
suffixes in order to provide CPU-related information. For example, the points PS1_V, PS1_V_A,
and PS1_V_B are available for power supply voltage. Regardless which CPU is in online mode, the
information about both CPUs is shown.
If points are not available with _A and _B suffixes in a redundant configuration, it means that only
values for the online CPU are available, for example, DOING_WELL.
The information generated by the supervision is complemented with control and diagnostic
information that is generated by each Device.
The table below shows the supervision points available for HUe:

4.6.13 Redundancy
As it was explained previously, the system has two redundant CPU’s, there are certain differences
in the configuration of, for example, environment variables and supervision points. Moreover, the
configuration also must indicate how redundancy will be implemented both in physical terms
(control mechanism) and functional terms (data redundancy mode).
The environment variables A and environment variables B table must be correctly configured in
dbRED tab (coreDb) to indicate which CPU will act as primary and which as redundancy

NOTICE
The dbRED section is only available in Easergy Builder for redundant CPUs.

Control Mechanism
For HUe there is redundancy only through the RCAP protocol (Redundancy Control Asynchronous
Protocol). It consists of a redundant channel between the two HUe modules that is switched when
required by means of a Schneider Electric proprietary protocol.
To implement this control mechanism, up to two different channels can be used, which are used
redundantly to obtain a fault-tolerant redundancy control:
Pag 65
 19/04/2024 User Manual – HUe

• Through network ports, IP addresses for CPU A and CPU B should be defined.

• Through a serial channel. The serial port to be used in both CPUs should be defined.

Mode
There are two different modes to implement redundancy:

• Cold redundancy: The databases in both CPU's are NOT synchronized. When switching, the
other CPU will initialize with its own database using default values.

• Hot redundancy: A high-speed communication channel (Ethernet) must be defined between

the two CPU’s to keep the database updated in the backup CPU. When switching, the
redundant CPU will initialize with updated values.

NOTICE
When using the “Hot redundancy” mode, the names of the points in both databases must be
identical, that is, it is very important to use the SAME Easergy Builder configuration in both
CPU’s.

The backup CPU's database is updated when exceptions are thrown (i.e. only the modified points
are updated), except for the initialization after which the entire database is updated. The
DB_UPDATE supervision point allows us to monitor the process.

Additional IP’s
A list of IP addresses can be defined related to the HOT CPU. These addresses are dynamically
associated, so that in redundant systems they can always communicate with the online CPU at the
time.

NOTICE
When a static IP address and a virtual address is defined for the same device in the same
subnet, a warning console message will be displayed to inform about an anomalous situation
(sup_redAddIPs: dev xxx ip x.x.x.x subnetMask xxxxxxxx).
The message is an operating system warning, even though it will not cause a malfunction.

PRP (Parallel Redundancy Protocol), HSR (Highly-available Seamless Redundancy), BOND

(Bonding) and RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) protocols allow using two physical ports as a
unique logical port, with a same MAC address and IP.

NOTICE
If PRP, HSR, BOND or RSTP interfaces are defined, the associated LAN ports will be not
available to define.

HUe can use PRP, HSR, BOND and RSTP protocols as detailed in the following sections.

4.6.13.1 Configuring PRP

This protocol is based on the use of two independent networks at all levels, LAN A and LAN B, and
sending the same message at the same time on both networks.
The device must send through each of its two network interfaces, a frame with the same MAC and
the same IP through a different port in both networks.
In this case two switches are required, one for network A and one for network B. In HUe the
network A (LAN(A)) for PRP is always the interfaces labelled as LAN2.
Click on “add new interfaces” and select PRP.

Pag 66
User Manual – HUe 19/04/2024

Figure 49 – Configuring PRP

4.6.13.2 Configuring HSR

HSR is a redundancy protocol, like PRP. It is based on a redundancy in the device, a Layer 3
network frame, is converted into 2 identical HSR frames and sent by the 2 ports of the device to a
ring topology network, in opposite directions. The devices linked in this ring network are called
DANH (Double Attached Node implementing HSR).
One difference from PRP is that there is only one LAN with a mandatory ring topology in the HSR
protocol.
Click on “add new interfaces” and select HSR.
Figure 50 – Configuring HSR

4.6.13.3 Configuring RSTP

This is a second OSI layer network protocol that ensures a loop-free topology for Ethernet
networks. RSTP (IEEE 802.1w) is an evolution of STP (Spanning Tree Protocol; IEEE 802.1D).
This protocol monitoring each link state. If an active link goes down, RSTP active the redundant
links and reconfigure the network topology.
Click on “add new interfaces” and select RSTP.

19/04/2024 User Manual – HUe

Figure 51 - Configuring RSTP

4.6.13.4 Configuring BOND1

This is a method of combining (joining) two or more network interfaces together into a single
interface. It will increase the network throughput, bandwidth and will give redundancy.
If one interface is down or unplugged, the other one will keep the network traffic up and alive.
Click on “add new interfaces” and select BOND1.
Figure 52 – Configuring BOND1

4.6.14 Local Acquisition Configuration

As mentioned before, the local acquisition Device for Saitel DR is named “claq” and it is created by
default for each Saitel DR configuration.
Figure 53 - Configuring local acquisition for Saitel DR

For HUe the following types of modules can be configured:

Pag 68
User Manual – HUe 19/04/2024

Figure 54 - Available Saitel DR modules in Easergy Builder

Back in the local acquisition configuration, several options are possible:

• button, to add a new module.

• button, to remove a module.

• buttons, to change the address of the modules.

• button, to create in coreDb acquisition and diagnostics points for all included modules.
More information in section claq in the manual of the different acquisition modules.

4.6.15 General Purpose Digital Inputs

HUe has 4 digital inputs located in the lower left, only configurable as single inputs. These signals
are useful to inform the operator about a general problem in the system. All signals can be
configured for a general-purpose, but Digital 1 and 2 can be used with the following purpose too:

• Digital 1: This signal provides the HU module with information about the digital inputs’
polarization status of the ABs installed in the ITB. When the signal is active (1), the polarization
of all digital signals is correct. If the signal is disabled (0), the HU will understand that there is a
problem with polarization.
In order for the CPU to interpret the value of Digital 1 in this way, the supervision signal
POL_OK_ABDI must be included in coreDb.

• Digital 2: Depending on this signal is active or not, the CPU will understand that the ITB is in
LOCAL mode (signal is 1) or in REMOTE mode (signal is 0). In order for the CPU to interpret
the value of Digital 2 in this way, the supervision signal LOCALREMOTE or LOCALREMOTE:I
must be included in coreDb.

WARNING
(*) Please do not define LOCALREMOTE and LOCALREMOTE:I simultaneously in coreDb.
Otherwise, the behavior would be unpredictable.

If LOCALREMOTE is defined, when Digital 2 is 1 → LOCALREMOTE is 1, the ITB is in LOCAL

mode, so the commands are not enabled in the digital output modules. If the Digital 2 signal is 0 →
LOCALREMOTE is 0, the ITB is in REMOTE mode, which will be the normal operating state.
If LOCALREMOTE:i point is defined, this signal inverts the value of Digital 2.
The REMOTE mode is the default mode when neither LOCALREMOTE nor LOCALREMOTE:I are
included in coreDb.
To configure these signals, click on claq Device, and select the module HUe on the ITB. The HUe
module lights up in green and the 4 general-purpose digital Inputs available in the module are
displayed.
Pag 69
19/04/2024 User Manual – HUe

Figure 55 - Configure signals Easergy Builder

For each signal, the following parameters must be defined:

• Type: Type of digital input. Only DI_ISIM (simple digital input) is available for the four digital
inputs of the HUe module.

• Invert: It indicates if the signal is inverted (Y) or not (N).

• TF (ms): Filtering time to be used for the digital filtering. Expressed in milliseconds, it can
range between 0 and 255.

• TM (ms*10): Memory time to be considered for change memory. The indicated value is
expressed with 10-ms intervals, and it can range between 0 and 255.

• NChat and TChat: They have no effect on these signals and cannot be configured.
For this type of signals, “Digital Filtering” and “Change Memory” must be configured. Both concepts
are explained in further details below.

4.6.16 Transferring the Configuration to the RTU

To transfer the configuration from Easergy Builder (in the PC) to the CPU, if configuration mode is

active, select button . If Workspace mode is active select button . Then,

Easergy Builder requests to confirm the project save operation. Press “Yes” and the log window
will display the information about the operation progress.
Finally, reset the RTU and, if no problem occurs, the console will display the information about the
initialization progress of operating system and then the application. If everything is correct, the
message “CONF OK” should be shown in the console.

5.1 Baseline Update

There are several ways to update the baseline installed in the HUe; using a SFTP client (for
example, Filezilla), using webApp (HUe web-based tool), or using a USB pen drive connected to
the USB Host port.

5.1.1 Required Material

The following elements are required:

• An Ethernet cable connecting the PC with the MNT port in HUe. This wired connection is only
necessary when transferring the update file through SFTP or webApp. If using a pen drive, it
would not be necessary.

• A file with the new Baseline to be installed. It will be a compressed file with a name like
“Baseline_11.06.02.tar.gz”.
The file's name containing the image must have a specific syntax:

• It must start with "Baseline_", (no case sensitivity).

• It must finish with the ".tar.gz" extension

The following names are valid, for example: BaseLine_11.04.00.tar.gz, Baseline_10.tar.gz, and
BASELINE_9.3.0.tar.gz.

5.1.2 Using SFTP

An FTP client (supporting SFTP) must be available in the PC, and the ethernet cable must be
connected to the MNT port. Both the CPU and our PC must be in the same subnet.
Check the connection using a ping command in a command prompt:

Once the connection is verified, open the FTP client software and establish connection with the
CPU using the SFTP protocol and Installer (user) and Installer1! (password).

When connection is established, move to the folder /mnt/flash and transfer the Baseline file from
the PC.

Pag 73
19/04/2024 User Manual – HUe

Figure 56 – SFTP connection

When loading is completed, press the Reset button on the CPU. If the console is available, the
message on it will show how the installation is in progress.
Once installed, the compressed file including the Baseline image is deleted.
Finally, reboot the system and Baseline is updated.

5.1.3 Using an USB Device

To upgrade the system using the USB port, copy the file to the root folder in the USB device,
connect it to the CPU and reboot the HUe.
During Linux initialization, the USB drive is installed in /mnt/usb1 and, if the file with a Baseline
image is detected, the implementation is executed automatically.
There is a slight difference after the installation with respect to the previous section:

• To allow using the same USB device to deploy a baseline in different CPUs, the target image is
not deleted from the /mnt/usb1 device.

• Since the /mnt/usb1 image is not deleted, the system does not reboot. Thus, any "auto-
installation" of the same image is prevented. After the file is automatic copied from the
/mnt/usb1 device, it is recommended to remove the USB device and reboot the system
manually.
The priority order for the update procedure is:

• File in USB drive

• File in /mnt/bf

• File in /mnt/flash

Pag 74
User Manual – HUe 19/04/2024

5.1.4 Using webApp

To use a web browser to upgrade the system, such as Chrome, connect the PC to the MNT port
using the correct IP address.

NOTICE
Considering that the connection must be secure, the protocol HTTPS must be indicated in the
address bar, i.e. "https://192.168.0.254".

• Drag and drop the file in the designated area or search for it using the “Select file” button (Step
1).

• Click the “Load” button (Step 2).

• Next, confirm that the software file is correct (Step 3).

• Click the “Install new firmware”, and the software file will be sent to the CPU to install the new
firmware (Step 4).

• Then, reboot the CPU (Step 5).

• Finally, the user will need to log in again and the CPU will be ready with the new software
version.

5.2 AB Software Update

Apart from the software installed in the HUe, both the acquisition blocks and the communication
blocks have a software to be updated.
To update the software on the ITB modules, the required elements are:

• A console connection with HUe.

• Information about the correct addressing in all ITB modules (please, see section 4.3 ).

• The appropriate software files for each type of module.

Once Baseline is installed in the HUe module, the /mnt/flash directory will include all the files
required to update any of the modules in the ITB. If other software version is required, copy the
appropriate file to the folder /mnt/flash using SFTP.

NOTICE
Only Installer can be used to execute update commands in the console.

The table below shows the file to be used for each type of module and the command to be
executed by the operator in the console.

5.3 Operating System Update (Linux)

NOTICE
Only users with advanced knowledge about the equipment should perform the tasks described
in this section.

The operating system update is executed, if required, during Baseline installation, but only if the
currently installed version is older than the version to be uploaded.
Finally, reboot the system and the baseline is updated.

NOTICE
To downgrade the system (install a previous version of the baseline, including the operating
system), the name of the file used must content the suffix “_KFD.tar.gz”.

5.4 Console Commands

The HUe operating system offers a high-priority command console to help with certain monitoring
and diagnostic tasks.
The connection to this console from the PC is established through the CON port. The section 4.1.1
in this manual describes how access the command console.
Have into account:

• The use of the command console must be restricted only to expert operators in the system.

• The command execution in the console must return a “0” character when outputted. If it returns
other values, then there has been a problem in the execution. It is usually caused by
parameters with the wrong format.

Pag 77
19/04/2024 User Manual – HUe

• When executing a command for any controller, it must be saved into the memory to solve this
problem, that is, the controller must be included in the configuration loaded in the CPU from
Easergy Builder.

NOTICE
Only the Device controllers included in the current configuration will be loaded into the memory.

Then, the commands available in the console for the Installer user are displayed below, using the
following convention:

• (No parameters):The command must be executed directly, with no additional parameter.

• <XX>:Required parameter. It must be replaced with the XX value. The symbols <>MUST NOT
