1.2 Regulatory Compliance Information

CE Mark Compliance

The D400 is rated as CISPR 11 Group 1 Class “A” equipment.

Note: To provide higher EMC immunity and maintain CE Mark compliance, the serial cables used for permanent RS-232 and RS-485 connections must comply with the following requirements:

• Cables must be shielded

• D type connector covers must provide EMC shielding (e.g. metalized plastic or die cast

metal covers)

Warning

Class “A” equipment is intended for use in an industrial environment. The equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with these instructions, may cause interference to other devices in the vicinity. If this equipment does cause interference with other devices, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving device

• Increase the separation between the equipment

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

other device(s) is connected

• Consult the manufacturer or field service technician for help

Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)

1.3 Product Overview

The D400 Substation Data Manager is a secure, substation hardened and CE Marked communications gateway that polls metering, status, event and fault report data from intelligent electronic devices (IEDs). It summarizes the data from IEDs and makes it available to a master station or host computer over standard SCADA protocols. TCP/IP network connections are supported over the built-in 10/100 MB Ethernet interface and a dedicated Modem port (external modem required).

The D400 comes with a built-in human machine interface (HMI)/annunciator as part of the base software - no external software or licensing is required to operate the D400. The substation HMI can be accessed locally through the Keyboard, Video, Monitor interface, or remotely over a standard secure Web browser (HTTPS) connection.

994-0089–1.00–2, General

GE Energy

The D400 can be configured “online” through a standard Web browser or “offline” through the Offline Configuration Manager (OCM) - Future.

Hardware Overview

The D400 is built on a flexible, high-performance, expandable platform powered by a 650 MHz processor. It is distinguished by the noticeable lack of a hard drive and fan, employing instead the rugged and reliable CompactFlash mass storage solution.

The D400 supports various communication media types through a choice of input/output (I/O) adapter cards –

• Serial (up to 8 configurable 2-port adapter cards): RS-232, RS-485, Fiber Optic (Glass or Plastic)

• Ethernet: 10/100BaseT, 10BaseFL or 100BaseSX

Features

• Secure Web server (128-bit encryption)

• Secure SCADA communications through Secure Sockets Layer or Transport Layer

Security (SSL/TLS)

• Secure access using SSH (Secure Shell)/SCP (Secure Copy)/HTTPS

• Secure terminal server, gateway, and/or data concentrator using SSL/TLS

• User configurable security levels/access

• Support for remote user authentication

2.5 Physical Installation

The D400 can be installed in a standard 19-inch rack or substation panel.

Rack Mounting

The D400 mounts directly into an industry-standard 19-inch [482.6 mm] equipment mounting rack with EIA universal mounting rail hole spacing.

The top cover of the D400 can get hot during peak operation. Ensure that there is at least 1U (1.75 inch [44.45 mm]) of free space above the D400 unit for proper ventilation.

When the unit is operating above the 50 °C ambient temperature, safe handling precautions are recommended to prevent burns.

» To mount the D400 on a rack:

1. Position the D400 in the rack.

2. Holding the D400 firmly in the rails of the mounting rack, insert and tighten the four

rack screws.

The recommended tool torque settings for zinc-plated mounting screws are:

– 10-32 UNF screws use 22.2 in-lb [2.50 Nm] – 12-24 UNC screws use 31.0 in-lb [3.51 Nm] – M5x0.45 screws use 18.1 in-lb [2.04 Nm] – M6x0.5 screws use 33.3 in-lb [3.76 Nm]

Serial (Slots 1 to 8)

• RS-232

• RS-485

• Fiber Optic Serial (glass or plastic)

IRIG-B (Slots 9 and 10)

• IRIG-B Input

• IRIG-B Distribution

Network (Slots 11 and 12)

• 4-Port Twisted-Pair Ethernet Switch

• Hot Standby Fiber Optic Ethernet Switch

3.2 Changing Card Settings

The communication cards are factory installed with default settings. You may want to adjust individual card settings to work with your specific system set up. The communication cards are hot swappable -- this means you do not have to power down the D400 unit to remove and install the communication cards.

» To change the settings on a communication card:

1. At the rear panel of the D400, using a flathead or Phillips screwdriver loosen (but

don’t completely remove) the two screws from the top and bottom of the communication card.

2. Using the flathead screwdriver, gently pry the top of the card from the slot and

remove it from the chassis.

3. Refer to the instructions in the following sections to make any required changes to

the switch settings on the card. Tip: Use a small flathead screwdriver (same as used to remove the communication

card screws) to change switch positions.

4. Slide the card into the same slot you removed it from, and tighten the two screws.

CAUTION: For proper transient protection, the recommended tool torque settings for communication card screws are 2.6 in-lb [0.294 Nm].

3.3 RS-232 Adapter

The RS-232 Adapter (GE Part No. 520-0207) is a standard RS-232 serial I/O adapter card that plugs into any serial communication slot (slots 1 through 8) on the D400. It contains two independently isolated RS-232 serial ports (Port 1 J3 and Port 2 J2) each with a DB-9 connector.

See section “4.3 RS-232 Connections” for typical cable connections.

Configuration Options

The RS-232 card supports the following configuration options on each port:

• DCE (Data Communications Equipment) – as a peripheral

• DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) – as a PC

• +5 V (320 mA) output

In addition, the RS-232 card is configurable to provide an IRIG-B signal (on pin 4) and Ground (on pin 6).

The signal type and pin options for each port are selectable via two sets of switches on the RS-232 card:

• Port 2 (J2) is configured by switches SW1 and SW3

• Port 1 (J3) is configured by switches SW2 and SW4

Follow instructions for setting the switches to select the appropriate functions for each port.

Factory Default

The factory default setting is DTE on each port.
