Digital Link Characteristics

System Architecture

The RFL 9508D UCC provides a digital data stream that when combined with the UCC packetizing multiplexer with voice, data and IP interfaces provides the user with flexibility not yet seen with power line carrier systems.

The transmission channel occupies a total bandwidth of 8 kHz making it suitable to replace analog systems using their existing frequency assignments. The system can also operate in a bandwidth of 4 kHz at a reduced rate with better performance and interface options than any available analog system. The system is programmable via the user interfaces to allow frequency ranges from 20 – 500 kHz

The RFL 9508D UCC uses algorithms for error detection and correction in order to achieve better performance in the presence of channel noise.

The RFL 9508 uses QAM modulation which has been proven to be the most robust and reliable method for digital power line carrier systems.

A versatile Windows

GUI (Graphical User Interface), allows the user to configure the system requirements. SNMP alarm reporting traps are also supported if required. The RFL 9508D UCC can be accessed via RS-232 interface or remotely with an optional Ethernet access port.

The modularity of the RFL 9508D UCC allows high flexibility to comply with different requirements; the main modules are:

• Transceiver: Communications Unit, digital processing and converting the frequency signals either to SSB or T1/E1. One Transceiver is required to establish the QAM data link, and another is required for the F6 Teleprotection if required

• Power Amplifier, 50 or 100 Watts Peak Envelope Power (PEP.)

• Coupling: RF Filters, Hybrid, Dummy Load

Detailed Functionality

Transceiver:

The Power Line Carrier Transmitter and Receiver module, includes the Modulator and Demodulator, Digital Filtering, Numerical Control Oscillator (NCO), Analog and Digital Channel Mapping and RS232 interface for configuration. This module has many functions as follows:

• Provides QAM modulation for the digital link

• Translate and convert the digital baseband source

from the digital frame into the frequency range from 20 to 500 kHz

• Translate and convert the Line Frequencies into digital baseband or the digital frame

• Automatic Gain Control (AGC) to compensate for variations in signal level caused by line attenuation changes. If the teleprotection received signal level varies more than 40 dB from normal in the regulation range of -20 to +20 dB or -26 to +14 dB, a relay and LED will indicate an alarm. Additionally the AGC functions to perform the signal-to-noise squelch which disables the system and initiates an alarm under excessive noise conditions.

Architecture of Digital Chassis

The Transceiver and the IMUX Common Module are mounted in a 19" wide chassis. The connection between the two is an E1 or T1 link with shared RS232 port and power. The CM4 common card, MTS, and digital link card are in the IMUX side of the chassis while the transceiver is on the PLC side of the chassis.

Programmable RF Test Generator

The Transceiver can generate an RF test tone between 20 and 500 kHz to be transmitted over the power line carrier path.

to the NCO, adjust output power level, as well as to measure the SNR, alarms, etc. See figure 2 for typical setup screen.

Packetizing Multiplexer - Utility Communications Center

RF Chassis

The RF chassis comprises the RF Hybrid, RF Impedance Adapter, Loop Back Test Module, RX Filter, TX Filter, Dummy Load, Power Monitor and 50W power amp.

The RF Interface is located at the top in the RF chassis. Test points are found inside the front panel: Line TX (after transmit filter), Line RX (before front-end filter) and Line (after the Hybrid). These signals facilitate equipment testing and commissioning.

The Skewed Hybrid efficiently separates the send and receive frequencies. Use of a skewed hybrid keeps losses in the send direction very low (0.5 to 1 dB).

DIGITAL Interface Modules

MA-470 is interfaced to the transceiver and provides the digital interface for the UCC Packetizing Multiplexer.

The RFL optional MA-490, is an RS232/Telnet I/O adapter module used in RFL 9508D UCC for Telnet link capability. This module contains one Ethernet port and two RS-232 ports. The basic function of this module is to provide connectivity to the RFL 9508D UCC via an Ethernet network.

RFL 9508 RT Distant Teleprotection via Optic Link

Many times the protective relays are not located in the same building as the communications systems that are used to transmit the relaying signals. A unique feature of the RFL 9508D UCC is that the teleprotection modules can be housed in a separate chassis and communicate with the RFL 9508D UCC via fiber optic cable The teleprotection chassis can be located up to 113km (70 miles) from the RFL 9508D UCC depending on the type of fiber optic transceiver selected. This chassis is known as the RFL 9508 RT.

Environmental Tolerances

• Operating Temperature: 0° to 45° Celsius

• Relative Humidity: 10% to 90%, non – condensing

Tested Under the Following Standards

IEC 60834-1, IEC 60068-1-1, IEC 60068-2-2, IEC 60068-2-3, IEC 60255-1, IEC 60255-21-2, IEC 60255-21-3

Integrated or External Teleprotection

The RFL 9508D UCC is available with either integrated teleprotection or with an external distant teleprotection system known as RFL 9508 RT. Both systems use a four function plug-in Modular Transfer Trip System (MTS) based on the proven F6 protection scheme.

The system is suitable for Direct Transfer Trip (DTT), Permissive Transfer Trip (PTT), Blocking and Unblocking applications. The RFL 9508D UCC and RFL 9508 RT comply to the IEC-60834 teleprotection standard.

The MTS system is comprised of two parts, the MTS module and the I/O modules. Together these modules work with the balance of the RFL 9508D UCC system to provide four-function teleprotection. Up to two MTS modules can be used in each system to provide up to eight functions of teleprotection.

The MTS module senses the inputs, de-bounces them, applies a small amount of logic, and passes them in a timeslot on the E1/T1 link to the transceiver. The MTS limits commands to 2 seconds, returning to the guard states after that time, even if the inputs remain keyed. The MTS user interface is in the IMUX NMS. Two and four function relay and solidstate I/O’s are available. Additional I/O for providing parallel contacts is also supported.

The PLC transceiver DSP decodes the message from the MTS and creates the necessary tones to transfer the command to the other end. The other end receives the tones, performs the necessary actions to generate the needed security and dependability, and sends the information to the MTS via the E1/T1 link.

General Specification

F6 teleprotection is a single tone system that sends only one tone at a time, making it ideal for PLC. Different combinations of inputs use a priority scheme to generate the correct tone and the correct output on the receiving side. This system can have two, four or eight inputs and outputs, which are programmable. Each input can be optionally inverted or not and if 8 inputs are employed, paired inputs can be AND’ed or OR’ed to form each of the 4 command inputs.

Once the input commands have been determined, the transmitted command is determined according to the priority chart. Two charts are available, based on the mode setting, “2+2” or “3+1” each provides up to four prioritized commands. The 2+2 mode is typically used for parallel line applications, while the 3+1 mode is typically used for single pole trip applications. The transmitted command is sent to the PLC transceiver after an appropriate de-bounce period.

Integrated T est Switch

The MTS module supports the connection of an internal test panel. The test panel can be mounted inside the door of the chassis and connect to the MTS via an 8 wire cable.

The test panel has a 10 position rotary switch, a push-button, and two-toggle switches. The rotary switch has Normal, Input #1, Input #2, Input #3, and Input #4 positions. The test switch can accommodate 2 MTS cards.

Selecting input 1 through 4 positions will not do anything until the push-button is pressed. Pressing the push-button will send the command corresponding to the selected position.

The toggle switch disables the local outputs.

Depending on the mode and the command, the transceiver sends one frequency for the entire time or switches back and forth between two frequencies. The single frequency is considered un-coded operation. Un-coded is less secure and is used for permissive or blocking applications. Coded transmission consists of two frequencies sent one after the other for a specified time. The receiver must receive each tone for a specified time period before declaring a valid trip reception.

RFL 9508D UCC

RFL 9508

Once the receiving DSP has determined that a valid trip has been received, the RX trip command is sent to the MTS where it is decoded into output contacts according to a user setup similar to that for the inputs.

Additional Features

Selectable Unblock Logic

In the event that the receiver enters an alarm state, the outputs programmed for unblocking will go active after 20 ms and will remain active for 150 ms.

Integrated SOE

The MTS stores up to 100 events including; Time/Date, and Input/Output contact status.

Trip Counters

Trip counters record how many times each command is sent or received. The counters roll over after 255 counts.

Applications

Section 2.

APPLICATIONS

This section discusses typical RFL 9508D applications, PLC-TT applications and Tx and Rx Filter performance. It also discusses Line Board applications and Analog Level considerations and calculations.

2.1 RFL 9508D APPLICATIONS

2.1.1

Figure 2-1 illustrates a typical point-to-point application with one SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) channel, one Data channel (Modem), and one speech channel transmitted through the digital link, Additionally it has integrated type F6 teleprotection.

When RF channel 2 is configured for speech plus operation, the speech band is terminated at 2000Hz (programmable), and the bandwidth above 2100Hz (programmable), can be used for one (as shown) or more slow speed data channels using external modem(s).

Modem signal is transmitted through a 2W or 4W E&M channel in the bandwidth from 300 to 3400Hz.

For this point-to-Point application, the speech channel provides the link for the PABX at each substation interconnecting them, so expanding the phone network.

Each 9508D terminal at nodes A and B is connected to the power line via an LTU (Line Tuning Unit) and coupling capacitor (CC). The LTU matches the characteristic (surge) impedance of the power line to the impedance of the 9508D terminal. The LTU also contains a surge arrestor to protect the equipment from voltage spikes, lightning or other faults. The coupling capacitor isolates the 9508D from the high voltage of the power line.

The SCADA master is used to monitor and manage electrical power distribution facilities. It is shown connected to the packetizing multiplexer of the 9508D at node A. The SCADA remote (Remote Terminal Unit or RTU) is shown connected to the packetizing multiplexer of the 9508 at node B. The SCADA master communicates with the RTU over the RFL 9508D power line carrier link at data rates of 9600 baud and higher depending only on the availability of bandwidth in the digital link..

A 21P device is shown at nodes A and B. The 21 indicates that the device is a distance (under impedance) relay. The P indicates that there is a pilot channel communication link. In this example the RFL 9508D equipment provides the pilot channel. The A-B indicates that the communication channel is from node A to node B. Conversely, the B-A indicates that the communication channel is from node B to node A.

When the overreaching 21P distance relay detects a fault in the forward direction, it provides a contact closure to the PLC-TT module at the local end. The PLC-TT module sends the contact closure information to the remote end PLC-TT module over the 9508D power line carrier link. The PLC-TT module can support up to four bi-directional transfer trip functions (two permissive and/or two direct) between two terminals or can support DCB (Directional Comparison Blocking) in addition to two Transfer Trip Functions.

2.1.2 TANDEM LINK WITH INCORPORATED BRANCH EXCHANGE

Figure 2-2 illustrates two point-to-point applications connected together by an Ethernet link.

The link between nodes A and B one SCADA channel, integrated F6 teleprotection and a speech channel that communicates a PABX at node A which can be used to call subscriber at node B and also the subscriber at node C by using the incorporated features of Automatic Branch Exchange of the packetizing multiplexer.

The two 9508Ds at node B are connected together by Ethernet port, traditionally the two links were connected together at the audio level, which increased group delay distortion. This severely limited the number of links that could be connected together in tandem.

The FXO port at node A can be configured to ‘Auto-Dial’ the suscriber extension at node B or C, or can be used to access the multiplexer’s branch exchange by using section dialing: First the PABX’s FXO port extension number must be dialed to access the multiplexer’s 2W port, then, the dial rules to follow are those configured in the multiplexer.

The 2W FXS port at node B can be used to call to node C or to access the PABX at node A. Also an Auto Ring Down voice channel is provided between nodes B and C (ARD), this can be configured as a point-to-point voice channel or as a autodial extension, so, other extensions (Node A for example) can dial to this locations.

Each 9508D terminal is connected to the power line via an LTU (Line Tuning Unit) and coupling capacitor (CC). The LTU matches the characteristic (surge) impedance of the power line to the impedance of the 9508 terminal. The LTU also contains a surge arrestor to protect the equipment from voltage spikes, lightning or other faults. The coupling capacitor isolates the 9508 from the high voltage of the power line.

A 21P device is also shown at nodes B and C. The B-C indicates that the communication channel is from node B to node C. Conversely, the C-B indicates that the communication channel is from node C to node B.

When the 21P distance relay at node A detects a fault in the forward direction, it provides a contact closure to the PLC-TT module at the local end (node A). The PLC-TT module sends the contact closure information to the remote end (node B) PLC-TT module over RF Channel 2 of the 9508D power line carrier link. The PLC-TT module can support up to four bi-directional transfer trip functions between two terminals, or can support DCB (Directional Comparison Blocking) in addition to two transfer trip functions. Teleprotection between nodes B and C is provided in a similar manner.

2.2 F6 TELEPROTECTION

2.2.1 OVERVIEW

The PLC-TT module uses type F6 teleprotection, which is a single tone system that only sends one tone at a time from one end of the protected line to the other. Different combinations of inputs use priority tables to generate the correct tone and the correct output at the receiving end. This system has two, four or eight inputs and outputs. Each input can be inverted or not, and if eight inputs are used, two inputs can be AND’ed or OR’ed to form each of four command inputs. The transmitted command is determined by two priority tables; one based on 2+2 mode and the other based on 3+1 mode. 2+2 mode means 2 uncoded signal transmissions and 2 coded signal transmissions. 3+1 mode means 3 uncoded signal transmissions and 1 coded signal transmissions. Uncoded signal transmissions are single tone only and are typically used for blocking or permissive underreach or permissive overreach. Coded signal transmissions have two alternating tone frequencies and are typically used for increased security.

The input command is sent to the PLC transceiver. Depending on the mode and the command, the PLC transceiver sends one frequency for the entire time or sends two alternating frequencies for a specified time. The receiver must receive each tone for a specified period before declaring a trip reception. Once the receiver has determined that a valid trip has been received, the RX trip command is sent to the PLC-TT module where it is decoded into output contacts in accordance with a user setup similar to that used for the inputs.

2.3 FREQUENCY PROGRAMMING CAPABILITY

The 9508D can be set for operation in the range of 20 KHz to 500 KHz without component changes. The transceiver can be set to any transmit or receive frequency from 20 to 500 KHz in steps of 125 Hz. The signaling frequencies are selectable between 2325 Hz (2.5 KHz operation) and 3825 Hz (4.0 and 8.0 KHz operation)

The analog filters are fully adjustable in this range in 2 KHz steps. As their bandwidths are significantly wider than the channel bandwidth, they do not need finer adjustment.

2.4 SUPERPOSED /SEPARATED CHANNEL OPERATION

The 9508D can be arranged for separated band operation or superposed bands possible due to the ECO canceller feature, decreasing this way the bandwidth requirements by half.

The 9508 can be used in parallel operation with other PLC terminals. In this application, the transmit filter unloads the line outside of band to limit the effect on other terminals. As there is some loading effect, RFL does not recommend paralleling units closer than 12 KHz (band edge to band edge) without using combiners.

2.5 RFL 9508D UCC FILTERING

There are three filter sections in the 9508D, Analog TX, Analog RX, and Digital.

Digital

The 9508D gains nearly all of its selectability from the digital filtering. The analog receive filter is present purely to prevent extraneous signals from overloading the input of the DSP. The analog TX filter is present purely to eliminate amplifier harmonics and reduce loading of adjacent transmitters.

Analog RX

RFL has included as in the 9508, an analog RX filter in the design of the 9508D to limit the band of signals seen by the DSP for channel overloading reasons, not for selectivity. Selectivity tests required by IEC 60495 call for interfering tones within the bandwidth of the RX filter so it does not provide any additional rejection.

The RX filter in the 9508D can be set to two channel widths. For single channels, RFL recommends the use of a filter which is about 8 KHz wide and for dual adjacent RX channels, a filter 16 KHz wide. This does not vary for 2.5 or 4 KHz operation as the purpose of the filter is not selectivity.

Analog TX

The TX filter of the 9508D exists for two purposes. Its first purpose is to reduce the harmonic distortion that may be introduced by the amplifier to an acceptable level. This does not vary with a bandwidth of 2.5, 4 or 8 KHz.

The second purpose of the filter is to eliminate loading of adjacent transceivers. For one or two 2.5 KHz channels, RFL recommends using the filter on its narrow (8 KHz) bandwidth. The adjacent channel loading of the RFL TX filter at that width is less than 1.5 Db @12 KHz from the center. If parallel operation of multiple terminals closer than 8 KHz (band edge to band edge) is required, RFL recommends the use of high power combiners.

Applications

2.6 RX FILTER PERFORMANCE

The Center Frequency and Bandwidth of the Rx Filter are set using programmable jumpers on the Rx Filter module as described in paragraph 5.3.2.6. The Bandwidth can be set to 8 KHz or 16 KHz. The Center Frequency can be set from 24 kHz to 496 KHz in 4 KHz increments. The Rx frequency must also be programmed in the RF Setup section of the NMS as shown in Figures 4-22 and 4-24. For the standard applications the RX filter is set to 8 KHz.

2.7 TX FILTER PERFORMANCE

The Center Frequency and Bandwidth of the Tx Filter are set using programmable jumpers on the Tx Filter module as described in paragraph 5.3.2.2. The Bandwidth can be set to 8 kHz or 16 kHz. The Center Frequency can be set from 24 kHz to 496 kHz in 4 kHz increments. The Tx frequency must also be programmed in the RF Setup section of the NMS as shown in Figures 4-22 and 4-24. For the standard applications the RX filter is set to 8 KHz

2.8 LINE BOARD

The Line Board is the interface between the RFL 9508D UCC and the line coupling equipment. It has several jumpers and other controls that must be set for proper system operation. Refer to paragraph

5.3.2.4 for additional information.

2.9 SETTING LEVELS ON THE RFL 9508D UCC

Setting the levels on an RFL 9508D UCC is important for proper functionality. The levels are set up in four stages.

Relative Levels Of Transmit Tones Absolute Level Of Transmit Tone Absolute Receive Level Alarm level setting

They should be set in the following manner.

2.9.1 RELATIVE LEVELS OF TRANSMIT TONES

The output level from the transceiver is relative to a peak of +3 dBm0. The teleprotection tone is always sent at this level. Even if teleprotection is not installed or used, this reference should be used.

1. For an 8 KHz system, the signaling, voice and data attenuation are typically set to 6 dB below

the level of teleprotection tone.

Note: The signaling tone performs the functions of a guard tone or pilot tone.

2. The test tone generator runs at +3 dBm0 and is controlled by the voice attenuator setting.

Applications

2.9.2

ABSOLUTE LEVEL OF TRANSMIT TONE

1. The absolute level coming out of the transceiver and going to the amplifier is not that critical

because the gain of the amplifier is set to give the correct level out of the amplifier. The typical peak level out of the transceiver is +12.75 dBm @ 50 Ohms.

2. In a single RF channel system an F6 tone will be at +12.75 dBm @ 50 Ohms at the output of

the transceiver.

3. The gain of the amplifier is set using pot R83. This must be adjusted to ensure that the

transmitted level will not exceed the maximum output compliance of the amplifier, which is +47 dBm into 50 ohms or 50 Vrms for a 50 Watt system, for that reason, the peak-to-average relation of a QAM signal must be considered when setting the amplifier gain.

2.9.3

ABSOLUTE RECEIVE LEVEL

1. After the hybrid is balanced, the absolute receive level into the transceiver should be adjusted

using R10 on the line board. It should be set so the pilot tone in an 8 KHz system is -20 dBm @ 50 Ohms.

2. In order for the Xcvr to properly calculate the receive levels, the remote Xcvr Voice level and

Signaling level must be manually entered into the RF Setup section of the NMS software prior to a write operation.

3. The RX AGC set point should be set to -1,5 for a better performance of the teleprotection

function.

2.9.4

ALARM LEVEL SETTING

1. The current gain should be entered as the nominal gain in the Rx Screen of the RFL 9508D

NMS. It can be in the range of 0 to 75 dB. The current gain value, which can be seen using the monitor feature, should be reentered as the nominal gain in order to set the alarm threshold. The low signal alarm will occur when the current gain has exceeded the LOS threshold.

3.3.2

INTERCONNECTED CHASSIS INSTALLED IN RACK OR CABINET

Systems mounted in racks or cabinets at the factory are to be placed in position and then bolted to the floor or wall, as appropriate, to secure the equipment in place. The type of hardware used will depend upon the particular surface to which the rack or cabinet is being mounted. Because of this, mounting hardware is not supplied with the rack or cabinet.

3.3.3

INTERCONNECTED CHASSIS MOUNTED ON SHIPPING RAILS

Equipment to be installed in a rack or cabinet at the customer’s site is mounted on shipping rails at the factory. To remove the shipping rails and mount the equipment, proceed as follows:

1. Place the equipment as close to the front of the rack or cabinet as possible, with the rear panels of the equipment facing the front of the rack or cabinet.

2. Remove all the screws securing the shipping rails to the equipment.

3. Slide the equipment into the rack or cabinet.

4. Install and tighten screws to all panels to secure the equipment in place

3.4 VENTILATION

The specified operating temperature range for RFL 9508D UCC equipment is -20oC to +65oC (-4oF to +149oF). Operation at higher temperatures may affect system reliability and performance. Systems installed in enclosed cabinets should be ventilated to keep the temperature inside the cabinet within limits.

When installing the 100W system, there must be a 1U minimum space between the 6U chassis and the 3U chassis for convection cooling as shown in Figures 3-2 and 3-4.

CAUTION

DURING NORMAL SYSTEM OPERATION, THE SWITCHING OF RELAY CONTACTS CAN PRODUCE VOLTAGE SPIKES. THESE SPIKES CAN TRAVEL DOWN THE RELAY OUTPUT LEADS AND INDUCE CURRENTS IN OTHER LEADS. THESE INDUCED CURRENTS CAN RESULT IN FALSE TRIPS. TO REDUCE THIS POSSIBILITY, USE A SHIELDED TWISTED PAIR FOR EACH INPUT LEAD, AND GROUND THE SHIELD AT THE RFL 9508D UCC CHASSIS ONLY. AS AN ADDED PRECAUTION, DO NOT BUNDLE INPUT, OUTPUT, AND POWER LEADS INTO THE SAME HARNESS, AND KEEP THEM AS FAR APART AS POSSIBLE

3.5 CONNECTIONS

Electrical connections are made to each RFL 9508D UCC chassis through the terminal blocks and connectors on the chassis rear panel. The rear panel of a typical RFL 9508D UCC terminal is shown in Figure 3-3 for a 50W system, and in Figure 3-4 for a 100W system. Paragraphs 3.5.1 through 3.5.10 provide basic descriptions of all the connections that must be made. Refer to the “as supplied” drawings furnished with your RFL 9508D UCC for more detailed descriptions of the connections that must be made to your system.

3.5.1 MAKING CONNECTIONS TO TERMINAL BLOCKS

NOTE

Before making connections to terminal blocks, check the configuration of all rear panel modules. It is easier to configure the rear panel modules prior to connecting field wiring. The configuration of these modules usually requires the setting of programmable jumpers and DIP switches as described in paragraphs 5.3.1.2, 5.3.1.3, 5.3.1.5, and 5.3.1.8.

The terminal blocks on the rear of the RFL 9508D UCC chassis are conventional screw-type barrier blocks. Wires can either be stripped or terminated in spade lugs, depending on local practice. To connect wires to the terminal blocks, proceed as follows:

1. Remove the transparent protective cover from the rear of the chassis by loosening the mounting screws and sliding the panel up and off of the standoffs holding it in place.

2. Using strippers, remove about 1/4 inch (10 cm) of insulation from the end of the wire to be connected.

3. If local practice calls for lugged wires, crimp a spade lug onto the stripped end of the wire.

4. Locate the terminal to which the wire is to be connected.

All terminals blocks are numbered. Terminal numbers appear on the rear panel, directly below the terminal block. Terminal block numbers are directly below the terminal numbers.

5. Using a screwdriver, turn the screw at that position counterclockwise until the wire or lug can be slipped underneath the screw head.

6. If the wire is lugged, slip the lug under the screw head. If lugs are not being used, use a pair of needle-nose pliers to bend the stripped end of the wire into a hook, and slip this hook under the screw head so that the hook surrounds the screw.

7. Using a screwdriver, turn the screw clockwise until tight to secure the wire in place.

8. Repeat steps 2 through 8 for all other wires to be connected.

9. Line up the mounting holes in the rear panel protective cover with the standoffs on the rear of the chassis, and push in and down on the protective cover until it is secured in place. Then tighten the mounting screws.

WARNING

THE RFL 9508D UCC CHASSIS MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED AS DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CONNECT INPUT POWER. IMPROPER GROUND CONNECTIONS MAY RESULT IN SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS, EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

3.5.7

A ground stud at the lower right rear of the RFL 9508D UCC chassis is the main ground for the RFL 9508D UCC terminal. This can be seen in Figures 3-3 and 3-4. Grounding is accomplished by connecting a wire 6AWG or larger between this ground stud and rack ground. The grounding wire should be kept as short and straight as possible, to keep its resistance and inductance to a minimum.

Before attempting to make power connections, make sure the RFL 9508D UCC terminal is equipped with a power supply designed to operate at the available input supply voltage. This can be determined by checking the model designator on the module handle. If an external power supply is being used, check the markings on the external power supply. If the wrong voltage is connected to the power supply, component damage will result.

3.5.8

If your RFL 9508D UCC is equipped with Fiber Optic Modules, fiber optic connectors must be connected to the fiber optic heads on the rear panel of the 9508D chassis. Type ST series bayonet fiber optic connectors (or their equivalent) are used with both singlemode and multimode fibers. The exact

Figure 4-11. Terminal Unit selection window

This window shows a list of a number of units that can be selected for configuration, this windows let the user select between different units previously saved in the register. After selecting a terminal, the program will load the addresses of the CM4, analog and digital transceiver just to avoid the process of discovering the address of each card every time the user wants to access the configuration. This will be discussed later in this chapter.

4.4.1.1 ENTERING AND SAVING A NEW TERMINAL EQUIPMENT IN THE START

To save information regarding a new terminal:

1. - Type in a name for the unit in the ‘device location’ field.

2. - Select a communications mode from the available options in the pull down box.

3. - If necessary type in an IP address (used when configuring by telnet)

4. - Select the address for the digital transceiver (dplc), analog transceiver (F6 channel) and E1 Unit (CM4).

5. - Press the NEW button. At this point a new record for this terminal PLC will be added to the list.

6. - Press the SAVE button to store the changes.

It’s not necessary to save the information about dplc, F6 transceiver and CM4 prior to configuring a system, indeed, the first attempt to communicate to a terminal it’s common not to know this addresses, nevertheless, this start register helps save time and work when accessing the terminal PLC on repeated occasions.

To enter the configuration window, select the desired PLC terminal (if displayed in the window) and press the ACCEPT button or simply press the button while selecting any record and then proceed to discover the address of every card.

2. DPLC Address

This pull down box indicates the current DPLC address which can take values from 1 to 127. This pull down box shows the current DPLC address after performing an ‘address discovery’ as explained further in this chapter.

3. Tx Attenuation Level

This setting attenuates the level of the signal coming out of the digital transceiver in 5dB increments from 0dB to 35dB.

At the bottom of the window there are four buttons, three of them are available in a standard user session as discussed in the following paragraphs:

1. Write DPLC

This button is used to start a write operation of all the parameters in the Common and Digital channel tabs to the DPLC transceiver.

2. Read DPLC

This button is used to read the parameters from the digital channel tab and common tab from the DPLC transceiver.

3. ALL Checkbox

When checked all settings in the Digital XCVR will be read as shown in Figure 4-11 and 4-12. Normally this box will be checked.

4. Show Maps

Through this button you can see the value of the register to be written to the transceiver and/or read from it. This option can also be found in the menu: transceiver/show memory maps and teleprotection/show memory maps. Note: This button is only available when logged as an administrator.

5. Address Discovery

Pressing this button the software will start an address scan from 0 to 127, to find the address of the DPLC transceiver. After discovering the addresses, the corresponding values on the program settings window located at menu ‘file/program settings’ will be updated, as shown on figure 4-12.

1. Echo Canceller

It’s used to activate the echo canceller function, which is used for the transceiver when configured for superimposed bands (transmit and receive in the same frequency band).

2. Local/Remote mode

Each time this button is pressed, it toggles between local and remote mode; for a link to be established, one end must be configured as ‘local’ and the other end as ‘remote’.

3. Tx Pilot High and Rx pilot High

To setup a digital channel using superimposed bands it’s necessary to set the transmitted pilot and received pilot separated at the upper and lower edges of the QAM band. These two checkboxes are used to indicate which pilot, either the transmitted or received one, is to be located in the high edge of the digital bandwidth.

4. F6 enable

This parameter is activated when F6 teleprotection is used. Activating this checkbox causes the dplc to monitor when a trip is sent to squelch the QAM spectrum.

5. F6 Time Slot

This box contains the time slot number used to communicate the teleprotection information inside the digital chassis.

6. Data Attenuation

This pull down box is used to select the attenuation of the QAM spectrum, in a default application this attenuation should be set to 6 dB.

7. Pilot Attenuation

This pull down box is used to select the pilot level attenuation. When the analog transceiver is transmitting the pilot tone, this value is set to the maximum attenuation of 256 dB.

8. Bandwidth

This pull down box let the user select among 2 KHz, 4 KHz or 8 KHz operating ranges. The maximum bit rate, at which the equipment will communicate, depends on this bandwidth selection. For a 62.4 KHz bit rate operation, 8 KHz bandwidth must be selected.

9. Tx Frequency

This pull down box is used to specify the transmit band’s lower edge frequency. For example, if the transmit stream occupies form either 200 to 204 KHz or 200 to 208 KHz; this parameter is set to 200 KHz.

10. Rx Frequency

Through this pull down box you can select the receive band’s lower edge frequency For example, if the receive stream occupies from either 104 to 108 KHz or 104 to 112 KHz, the Rx Frequency is set to 104 KHz.

11. AGC Setpoint

This parameter indicates a reference point for the Automatic Gain Control to work properly, for the default application, the AGC setpoint should be set to 20.

12. Bit Rate Settings

Using this group of check boxes, the user can select the desired bit rates at which the 9508D will connect, according to the transmission line quality conditions (attenuation, noise level, etc); the link will be established at the most suitable bit rate among the group of options selected.

13. Status

This is a group of status parameters indicated as checked checkboxes when active. They indicate the status of the negotiation between both end equipment. Once the link has been established, ‘connection’ is the only status that is active.

14. TX/RX Connected Bit rate

This status boxes will show the current TX and RX bit rates once the link is established and a read operation have been performed.

15. Round Trip

This is a status value which indicates the delay in milliseconds of the data from the local to the remote equipment and back. This parameter is available after a read operation has been performed.

3. Tx Frequency

This pull down box sets the receive band’s lower edge frequency of the teleprotection channel. The teleprotection channel is always 4 KHz wide; therefore this TX frequency should be set consistently according with the Digital Channel Tx Frequency. For example: If the digital channel Tx stream occupies a bandwidth from 92 KHz to 100 KHz (8 KHz Bandwidth), the Digital channel Tx Frequency is set to 92 KHz and the teleprotection channel Tx frequency is set to 96 KHz, thus coinciding the upper edges of both frequency bands (100KHz). If the digital channel occupies a bandwidth of 4 KHz, let’s say from 212 KHz to 216 KHz, both, the digital channel and teleprotection channel Tx frequencies are set to 212 KHz, thus coinciding the upper edges of both frequency bands.

4. Tx Signalling Frequency

Through this pull down box, three signaling frequencies are available for selection: 3825 Hz, 3600 Hz and 2325 Hz. For 4 and 8 KHz operation, 3825 Hz should be selected; 2325Hz is for 2.5 kHz channel operation. This setting selects the center frequency of the signaling band.

5. Rx Frequency

Through this pull down box you can select the receive band’s lower edge frequency of the teleprotection channel. The teleprotection channel is always 4 KHz wide; therefore this RX frequency should be set consistently according with the Digital Channel RX Frequency. For example: If the digital channel Rx stream occupies a bandwidth from 192 KHz to 200 KHz (8 KHz Bandwidth), the Digital channel Rx Frequency is set to 192 KHz and the teleprotection channel Rx frequency is set to 200 KHz, thus coinciding the upper edges of both frequency bands (200 KHz). If the digital channel occupies a bandwidth of 4 KHz, let’s say from 212 KHz to 216 KHz, both, the digital channel and teleprotection channel Tx frequencies are set to 212 KHz, thus coinciding the upper edges of both frequency bands.

6. F6 TX Att level

This is a digital attenuator which controls the output level of the analog transceiver.

7. Channel Control Register

Selects Tx and Rx on either USB (Upper Side Band) or LSB (Lower Side Band) of the pilot and teleprotection commands. Transmission and reception can be configured the same or different (USB in a given direction and LSB in the opposite direction) depending on the channel configuration required.

8. F6 Teleprotection

Check to enable the PLC-TT Teleprotection Module.

At the bottom of the window there are four buttons similar to those present at the common tab: these buttons are:

1. Write Teleprotection
