Requirements for
Telecontrol Automation
 Data transmission  Periodical transmission
caused by change only of all data
(spontaneous transmission)

 Prioritisation of data  Deterministic reaction time

 Highly standardised  Low pre-processing functions

pre-processing functions

 Widely distributed networks  Usually restricted to one place,

decoupled networking on
telecontrol level

Due to the increasing network solution modern systems have to fulfil

both requirements simultaneously!

Typical Addressing Concepts

 Fully free addressing possible

 Big advantage compared to conventional systems, where addresses are
defined by the manufacturer and not adjustable
 Every addressing should have a structure
 Addressing can be structured system technically
(system technically addressing)
and reflects the Hardware of ACP 1703.
 Process technically addressing
 Dependent on process,
CASDU = substation,
IOA3=field, IOA2=operational equipment, IOA1=number
 Dependent of address concept of a 3rd party system,
CASDU= substation,
IOA3=individual information type,
IOA2=individual group address, IOA1=individual group object

(periphery, third party system, CAEx plus, system functions)

 Data exchange within and between the automation units is learnt

automatically with ACP 1703 ("self-learining data flow")

Automatic Data Flow

Boundary Conditions

 A net wide unique address can be parameterized at the data source of every
data point.
 Address structure in accordance with IEC60870-5, however, in byte structure
(CASDU1, CASDU2, IOA1, IOA2, IOA3)

 Binary information, measured values… has to be addressed to source

 Commands, setpoints has to be addressed to target

(according to IEC 60870-5),
i.e. same CASDU1, CASDU2 as corresponding data in monitoring direction
(IOA1,2,3 are not affected)

Automatic Data Flow

Functions in ACP 1703

 All data for the monitor direction (single point information, double point
information, measured values etc.) are sent via interfaces with
parameterization “monitor direction"

 Commands, setpoint values are sent via interfaces with configuration

„Control direction" AND, whose address (CASDU1,2) is corresponding
to the address of the received information
( commands have target address)

 The data flow is continuously being learned, it is no reset necessary for

new data

Further Functions

For special cases:

Data flow filter,
(FOR SPECIAL CASES ONLY!)
 Example: Interlocking information
from station control device to the bays
 possible parameterization:

 A different variant: Interlocking information get a separate CASDU, and

this CASDU will be sent to all interfaces

Monitoring Functions - Internal

Monitoring of the whole internal system functionality

 functionality of single processors and memory
 periodical testing of program-, data- and parameter memory
 Watch dog - function
 internal communication ability
 periodical internal test telegrams with monitoring function
 Data integrity
 internally secured data transfer with parity
 plausibility check at internal interfaces
 marking data of failed modules
 Loss of information through buffer overflow
 Correctness of internal procedures

Monitoring Functions - External

Monitoring the system environment with respect to

 plausibility of process status
 plausibility of process procedures
 availability of process circuits
Monitoring of communication with respect to
 functionality (periodical telegrams with monitoring function, monitoring of
transmission quality)
 Data integrity (secured transmission, marking through failure of affected data)

Diagnostic

Detailed evaluation of indicated system states

 Transmission of diagnostic information to
SCADA systems / Control center systems
 Evaluation with TOOLBOX II (plain text)
 Local
 Remote
 Optical signalling of faults - LED indicators on the front panels of the boards

 Red LED on  FAULT

 Red LEDs off  NO FAULT

Diagnostic stage: TOOLBOX II local / plant

local

IEC 60870-5-101/4

 communication to automation unit direct

via optical cable
via other automation
 The location of the TOOLBOX II is not
units
relevant, as long as all other automation
units are connected together via IEC
60870-5-101 or IEC 60870-5-104.
 Exception: TM 1703 mic

 No direct communication with the automation unit

 „Remote control“ of a second PC which is connected to the automation unit, via
software like RSM, NetOP or PC-Anywhere
 Advantage: interactive supervision possible
 The Toolbox II has web ability, it can also be started in a web browser
(Windows 200x Server required)

Transmission of diagnostic information to
SCADA systems

It is possible to transmit many diagnostic information as user data (like

regular process information) to SCADA systems or other automation
units.

Failure Concept

 Marking of user data of failing system parts ("not topical“, NT)

 Passing on user data to data sinks

(output modules, processing functions, SCADA systems)

 Definable system reaction in case of failure

 Behaviour of output modules in relation to process

(e.g. terminate / maintain state)

 Processing of failure information in internal processes
