The CPU 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 Ethernet ports.

RTU 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.

The available synchronization sources are:
•GPS: A GPS connected to a serial port. The time received from the GPS is used to set the
system’s clock and the RTC.
•SNTP: A SNTP source through Ethernet. CPU modules can operate as an SNTP client or as
an SNTP server.
• Protocol: Most control protocols allow synchronizing slave devices.
• Console: The user can set the system's time manually from the console terminal.
• IRIG-B: It’s possible to configure the CPU as a server and/or client. The communication always
will be made with IRIG-B compliant devices.
If the synchronization source is not configured, the console device will always be created by
default. The console operates as the lowest priority when another source is configured.
CPU Communications
Saitel DP supports the following communication protocols with field devices:
• IEC101 master and slave.
• IEC103 master.
• IEC104 master and slave.
• DNP 3.0 master and slave.
• Modbus master and slave.
• IEC61850 client, Edition 1 and 2.
• IEC61850 server, Edition 1 and 2.
I/O Acquisition
The CPU manages the information exchange with the I/O modules. This information is sent from
the acquisition module to the CPU through the bus.
The software in the CPU adds the following features:
• Processing I/O information, which offers an added value to the information from field.
• Accessing the internal bus to exchange information with the I/O modules.
Real-time Database (coreDb)
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 the CPU modules and I/O modules included in the RTU.
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 coreDb and
then related to the communication protocols signals of the RTU, which function is to transfer that
information to the master device.

coreDb can also have as a source of information the result of a logic, which can be implemented by
a third-party software such as ISaGRAF® or within the database itself witch an internal device of
the type “Formula”.

Cybersecurity
SM_CPU866e is supplied with a standard security policy, complemented with the definition of an
RBAC model (Role-Based Access Control). This model is defined and managed through a special
tool, CAE (EcoStruxure™ Cybersecurity Admin Expert.
2.5 Redundant Configurations in Saitel DP
Due to the wide range of redundant configurations supported by Baseline Software Platform and
Saitel DP, it is necessary to make a detailed analysis in order to determine the concepts applicable
to functionalities and to set a common terminology.
It should be highlighted that redundancy always intends to increase the level of reliability and
availability of the critical elements within a control system.
Redundant configurations are defined to strengthen the following parts of the control system:
•Power supply: This is the first doubled element in the system, since a power supply fails
would mean a total power-off of the system. Power supply units are also devices which transfer
powers, sometimes extremely high and could cause a significant wear of the components. All
Saitel P modules and most auxiliary elements support a redundant power supply.
•CPU: The SM_CPU866 and SM_CPU866e modules allow defining configurations with CPU
redundancy with a high level of flexibility meeting the specific requirements of any system.
•Acquisition bus: The acquisition bus allows the CPU to acquire data from acquisition
modules. Saitel DP backplanes include a double acquisition bus. The CPU module together
with the acquisition modules implement the functions to make an efficient use of these
redundant communications.
•Communication channels: Several master and slave communication protocols support a
double communication channel, which are switched with certain rules according to the protocol.
•System’s duality: All the system’s components are doubled under this configuration. This is
the typical configuration of data hubs and communication front-ends.
Different types of redundancy can be combined in order to make the system as much robust as
possible with doubled elements..
2.5.1 Power Supply Redundancy
Power supply redundancy consist of the use of multiple power supply units for the same backplane.
Thus, the power supply reliability is much improved.
The SM_BPX and SM_CHX backplane have two different power supply options available:
• Power supply using SM_PS40 units
• Power supply using external power supply units.
In both cases, it is possible to have a simple or redundant configuration.
