JP1: Power supply to D.20 connectors
This set of jumpers controls whether power is supplied to peripherals via the D.20 link ports
and if so, which pins are designated as the positive and return. The voltage transmitted
through these ports is the same as the input voltage supplied to the D.20 RIO device.
In the case where two independent power sources supply power to a common peripheral
network, separate pins on the D.20 link must be used for the primary power source and the
secondary power source to avoid any voltage feedback. Failure to do so can negatively
impact system operation or damage the power source equipment.

GROUNDING THE D.20 RIO CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING THE D.20 RIO
Grounding the D.20 RIO
Surge and noise suppression components used on the D.20 RIO are designed to prevent
nuisance operation and damage to internal components. To ensure correct protective
operation, the earth ground stud on the D.20 RIO must be connected to a low impedance
ground using a braided cable or heavy solid copper conductor (12 AWG green/yellow wire
is recommended, GE part number 970-0182).
When making ground connections, ensure that all surfaces that are used for grounding
are free of dirt, residue and corrosion.
Torque settings
The recommended tool torque settings for zinc-plated mounting screws are:
• 22.2 in-lb [2.50 Nm] for 10-32 UNF screws
• 31.0 in-lb [3.51 Nm] for 12-24 UNC screws
• 18.1 in-lb [2.04 Nm] for M5 x 0.5 [8 mm] screws
• 33.3 in-lb [3.76 Nm] for M6 x 0.5 [8 mm] screws
Connecting the power supply
The D.20 RIO can be supplied power by a 24 VDC (GE part number 580-3483) or 48 VDC (GE
part number 580-3484) DIN rail mounted power supply. One of these power supplies must
be used to ensure compliance with the standards referenced.
Table 3: D.20 RIO Power Input Requirements
Input Voltage 22 to 55 VDC, ±10%
Input Power 10 W maximum, 3 W typical
Review the manufacturer-provided documentation that accompanies your power
supply unit before installation. Ensure that you are in compliance with all safety
instructions provided.
Any voltage input supplied to the D.20 RIO is also output through the Aux connectors on
the power supply connections block.
The Aux output must not be directly or indirectly connected to another power source.
When the Aux output is connected to a device with two input power sources, a protection
circuit must be used on the Aux output to prevent any voltage feedback. Failure to do so
can negatively impact system operation or damage the power source equipment.

Table 8: Single D.20 RIO looped
Description
This is the most basic
configuration option. This
scenario offers no redundancy in
the event of D.20 RIO failure. In
the event a D.20 Link failure
occurs, the D.20 RIO will lose
communications with all
peripherals positioned downlink
from the interruption.
D.20 link port A is connected to
the first peripheral, and all
subsequent peripherals are
daisy-chained. The D.20 Link is
terminated at the final
peripheral with a Terminator (GE
part number 977-0049).
Note: Daughter boards (GE part
number 540-0207 for D20 A,S,
and K boards; GE part number
540-0209 for the D20 C board)
may optionally be installed in the
peripherals to provide HDLC
interface redundancy and to
provide protection against the
isolated failure of a single pair of
wires running through the
peripheral link cable.

on the D.20 RIO.
This layout ensures that D.20
Link communications are
maintained to all peripherals in
the event that a break in the
D.20 link occurs between
peripheral modules.
Note: Daughter boards (GE part

CHAPTER 3: CONNECTING TO DEVICES AND NETWORKS SUPPLYING POWER THROUGH THE D.20 LINK
Supplying power through the D.20 Link
Power is typically supplied to peripheral devices directly through the WESTERM boards.
However, you can configure the D.20 RIO to supply peripheral devices with power through
the D.20 ports. In systems with more than five peripherals, an external power supply and
D20 DC interface module (520-0154) are required.
The Auxiliary terminals and/or power through the D.20 port should not be loaded by
peripherals to exceed 165 W.
Table 11: Typical power consumption for D20 I/O modules
D20 I/O Module Power Consumption
D20A 20 to 60 VDC, 8 W typical
D20C 20 to 60 VDC, 5 W typical
D20K 20 to 60 VDC
D20S 20 to 60 VDC, 4 W typical
Connect power to D20A, D20S, D20K, and D20C peripheral boards through the D.20 HDLC
Link using a daisy-chain series of connections from peripheral to peripheral.
4 W typical, 11 W with all relays energized
To power peripherals

1. Ensure JP1is set correctly for your peripheral devices. See “JP1: Power supply to D.20
connectors” on page 23.
2. Connect the D.20 link DB9 connector to the J1 input on WESTERM peripheral board
number one.
3. Connect the D.20 link DB9 connector from the J2 connector and into the J1 connector
on WESTERM peripheral board number two.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each WESTERM peripheral board in series.
Result: The peripherals are now connected for power using the D.20 Link.
The D.20 RIO can connect to one or two networks through two Ethernet connections.
Within the operating system of the D.20 RIO, LAN A is assigned to Ethernet interface eth0
and LAN B is assigned to Ethernet interface eth1. The interfaces eth0 and eth1 can also be
bonded for redundant operation.
All RJ-45 connectors have the same signal definition. However, the Ethernet ports are auto
MDI/MDIX and can support a straight-through or crossover cable.
Plug network cables into the D.20 RIO Ethernet ports.
The D.20 RIO is intended to be used on a secure LAN behind a firewall. It is not designed to
be used as a gateway device.
The D.20 RIO is intended to be used in a 10/100 Mbps network; the D.20 RIO does not
communicate on a dedicated 1Gbps network.

You may now use this user account to access the D.20 RIO remotely through SSH.
By default, the D.20 RIO is configured to restrict access to various command line services
like SSH to administrator-level users only. You can use the Configure Administrator Only
Logins setting under Secure Access to change this parameter and allow both
administrator- and supervisor-level access.
Time synchronization strategies
The D.20 RIO system time needs to be updated at a high frequency from a valid time
source, to keep it accurate. It is recommended to use a D400 as the SNTP source for a D.20
RIO with a fast SNTP poll frequency option (5 seconds). D.20 RIO system time accuracy is
defined as the time within the D400 and the D.20 RIO, with respect to the time input to the
D400. There are two options available for time synchronization to achieve better system
time accuracy.
• IRIG-B option: A D400 is configured to accept an IRIG-B time sync input and a D.20 RIO
is configured for SNTP time sync with a D400.
1 ms system time accuracy can be achieved with this option. Performance test results
have shown 1 ms accuracy recorded for 99.6% of the total D.20 RIO points.
• SNTP option: A D400 is configured to accept an SNTP time sync input and a D.20 RIO is
configured for SNTP time sync with a D400.
1 ms system time accuracy cannot be assured in this option. However higher time
accuracy can be achieved if a third-party SNTP to IRIG-B converter is used.

D.20 RIO CONFIGURATION UTILITY CHAPTER 4: SETTING UP THE D.20 RIO
TIP
Configure authentication
From the Authentication menu, you can select the authentication mode and change the
system access settings.
Local authentication
mode
Remote
authentication mode
Local authentication makes use of files stored locally to control user authentication, as
opposed to connecting to a remote server to obtain user name and password information.
The D.20 RIO has two types of administrative users.
• Root – Full privileges to view and modify all system settings in the D.20 RIO and run
commands through the local D.20 RIO command line interface. The root user cannot
log into remote command-line services or the D.20 RIO HMI. The Default user name is
root and the default password is geroot. Only the password can be modified. See
Root Administrator Settings, below.
• Administrator – Supervisor-level access to all configuration, runtime, operation, and
system administration screens in the D.20 RIO HMI as well as full access to run
commands at the D.20 RIO command line interface when the sudo command is used.
If you are using local authentication, Administrator-level users can be created using
the D.20 RIO configuration utility. See Administrator Group Users, below.
If you enable local authentication mode, be sure to create at least one administrator-level
user before exiting from the D.20 RIO configuration utility. If you log out of the system
without creating any new administrator users, you will not be able to log into the D.20 RIO
remotely.
The D.20 RIO supports two remote authentication modes:
•RADIUS
•Cisco® TACACS+
RADIUS remote authentication mode requires the following settings:
• RADIUS server address – valid IPV4 address
• “Shared secret” as provided by the RADIUS administrator – 6 or more characters
Cisco TACACS+ remote authentication mode requires the following settings:
• TACACS+ server address – valid IPV4 address
• TACACS+ secondary server address (if enabled) – valid IPV4 address. If the primary
server does not respond, the D.20 RIO will automatically attempt to connect to the
server at this address instead.
• Encryption – select whether to enable or disable encryption for the connection
between the D.20 RIO and the TACACS+ server
• Shared secret (if enabled) – as provided by TACACS+ server administrator
• Enable reporting of remote host IP address – if enabled, the D.20 RIO will report the IP
address of the D.20 RIO to the authentication server. Only enable this if you are using
an authentication server that supports this feature.
See “Remote authentication mode” on page 40. for information on configuring your
TACACS+ server.

Before adding users, configure the time synchronization to the current time. This avoids
warning messages regarding expired passwords.
Configure network settings
The Network Settings menu includes optional settings for the D.20 RIO network interface.
The D.20 RIO must be rebooted to activate changed network settings.
ICMP echo You can disable ICMP echo to help with securing the D.20 RIO. By default ICMP echo is
enabled, so that the D.20 RIO can be pinged on any interface, but ICMP echo can be
disabled if required by the administrator.
Machine host name Used to assign a host name to the D.20 RIO unit. The name must be unique to this D.20 RIO
and only contain alphanumeric characters (– [hyphen] is supported).
Configure network interfaces
The Configure Network Interfaces menu includes settings for the D.20 RIO’s network
connections (NET1, NET2, and Enable Lan Redundancy).
The D.20 RIO must be rebooted to activate changed network settings.
Static IP address Configures the D.20 RIO to use a manually defined IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
address.
Dynamic address Configure the D.20 RIO to use network parameters that are provided by a DHCP server.
At the D20RIO#>> prompt, type the command ifconfig to determine the dynamically
assigned IP address.
If dynamic addressing is to be used in a system that supports D.20 RIO redundancy, you
must ensure that a fixed IP address is allocated for each device.
VLAN As long as the VLAN has been configured on your D400 and network hardware (such as
switches), there is no need to configure a VLAN on your D.20 RIO device. Some advanced
users may opt to configure a VLAN on their D.20 RIO if they would like to improve traffic
prioritization on the outgoing link.
It is common to use a VLAN when connecting D400 and D.20 RIO devices over a network.
By assigning your D.20 RIO to a VLAN, you can ensure higher prioritization for data
transmitted from it and you can reduce the amount of extraneous information the D.20
RIO receives from other devices on the network.
In Figure 9 on page 42, a VLAN has been created on the NET1 interface on the D400. NET1
is connected to a third party switch, which is also connected to another third party switch.
These connections are called the trunks, since they carry the VLAN data as well as all other
data transmitted on the interface.

Figure 9: VLAN connections
Switch B is also configured to support a VLAN on a certain network port, which is
connected to the D.20 RIO. Since this port is dedicated to the VLAN, only information
flagged for the VLAN is transmitted to the D.20 RIO. As well, information sent on this VLAN
from the D.20 RIO device can be classified with a higher priority, which will ensure a higher
likelihood of transmission during times of network congestion.
You can configure the following options on each VLAN you create:
• IP address, subnet mast, and default gateway: You can assign static values or obtain
dynamic values via DHCP. Once you have configured these values, you can use them
to access your VLAN.
• EGRESS priority mappings: Set the QoS priority level for data transmitted on this VLAN.
Priority levels range from 0 to 7 with 7 being the highest priority. If a QoS-enabled
device receives packets transmitted on this VLAN, it should apply prioritization based
on the level you specify.
• Ethernet reorder flag header: This option is reserved for use by GE Digital Energy staff
for customer support tasks.

Replacing the fuses
There are three fuses within the D.20 RIO, marked on the circuit board as F1, F2, and F3.
Two different types of fuses are used (see Table 18, “Fuse part numbers,” on page 60):
• F1 and F2: 3.5 amp SMD time-lag. Both of these fuses are used on the D.20
connections. Fuse F1 is for power and fuse F2 is for return. If either of these fuses fails,
verify your D.20 link wiring to ensure a short does not exist.
• F3: 1.5 amp SMD time-lag. This fuse is for the D.20 RIO itself. If this fuse fails, ensure
that a correctly rated power supply is connected and that it is operating correctly.
The fuse part numbers are;
Table 18: Fuse part numbers
Fuse GE Part Number Manufacturer Manufacturer’s Part
F1, F2 940-0038 Littlefuse Inc. 015703.5 DRT
F3 940-0037 Littlefuse Inc. 015701.5 DRT
Ensure that you install a replacement fuse of the correct type and rating. Failure to do
so may impair the safety features of the D.20 RIO.
