Communication Gateway The RTU560 with its highly sophisticated communication capabilities can also be used as a communication gateway. A gateway essentially changes one communications protocol to another. Typically at station level, there may be many communications protocols employed ranging from IEC60870-5-103, SPABUS and the new IEC61850 standard. At network level, a different communications protocol is employed typically IEC60870-5-101, IEC60870-5-104 over TCP/IP, or for example DNP3. The RTU560 when functioning as a gateway will convert station protocols to network protocols and vice versa. Shifting of centralized communication functions to station level utilizes the available bandwidth more efficiently and reduces the required communication lines at the same time. System Availability Highest availability of systems is a standard requirement in all Utility Applications. The RTU560 is no exception and it provides this availability through its decentralised hardware and software structure.
Increased availability is also provided through flexible redundancy concepts. Redundancy is inherent in the RTU560 design. The flexible redundancy concept supports many levels ranging from communications redundancy, communications processor redundancy, power supply redundancy and even I/O redundancy which are implemented according to customer requirements. It is essential that the data engineering is minimized and simplified when configuring a communications gateway as is the interface between standard and non standard protocols. This is easily achieved in the RTU560 as its open architecture and a standard configuration tool (RTUtil 560) allows easy data engineering and protocol mapping. Benefits: Reduction of complex front-end systems Higher availability of WAN networks Reduced costs for data engineering Redundancy concept adaptable to availability requirements
Substation Automation The substation automation application consists of interfaces to a mixture of protection and control equipment as well as metering devices and other automation products. The Human Machine Interface integrated into the RTU560 allows a basic local control and monitoring. Disturbance records and load profiles are easily stored in the RTU560 and transmitted on the communications network when requested. Benefits: Cost optimized substation automation with IEC 60870-5-103 Data engineering for RTU and HMI in one step Use of the RTU560 communication network for disturbance data and load profiles Retrofit with digital bay controllers possible step by step IEC 61850 support Efficient solution for hybrid applications

IEC 61850 Station Bus RTU560 with IEC61850 client functionality opens new opportunities for Remote control applications and Substation automation applications. It is possible to combine parallel I/O connections, serial IED connections via IEC, DNP, Modbus or SPABUS and station bus via IEC61850 (Hybrid Solutions). It is possible to integrate the functions IEC61850 Gateway, time server and integrated HMI in one RTU560. Benefits: Hybrid applications are possible for migration and retrofit. Low cost solutions with integrated gateway, timeserver and HMI functionality in RTU560 Redundancy For energy transmission and distribution networks it is important to maintain the access to stations. The RTU560 manages this requirement by providing a sophisticated redundancy concept offering the following features: Redundant communication lines or links Redundant communication units (CMU) Redundant Power Supplies Technical features Redundant communication lines or links; Communication via 2 communication lines in a parallel mode (multi host with all available protocols) or in an active/standby switchover mode (redundant line/network with IEC 608705-101/104) Redundant CMU performance; 2 sets of CMU boards in an active/standby switchover mode Redundant power supply 2 redundant power supply; boards for the supply of the communication subrack Due to modular architecture of the RTU560 it is possible to use parts or combination of the redundancy elements. Benefits: Excellent reliability in performance and communication High reliable remote control of important substations Reduction of service and maintenance cost Scalable redundancy and cost optimized concepts
Time Synchronization The accuracy and resolution of the time stamp for a process event is important for analysing a process disturbance, especially when it is necessary to analyse events from and between different stations. The internal time management is controlled by the CMU communication boards. The time resolution of the RTU560 is 1 ms for events. Synchronization with absolute time can be achieved by one of the following five methods: Time synchronization by the network control center (NCC) via a periodically transmitted synchronization instruction with a communication protocol supporting this function Time synchronization using a real-time clock that receives the date and time from the GPS system Time synchronization using a real-time clock that receives date and time information from the DCF 77 time standard Time synchronization using SNTP V4 (RFC2030) on a LAN/WAN network Time synchronization using IRIG-B The RTU560 time management system synchronizes the RTU with the supplied absolute time with a high degree of accuracy. The absolute accuracy is mainly provided by the source for synchronization used, whereby GPS, DCF 77 and IRIG-B allow an accuracy of 5 ms and better. The accuracy of time synchronization by the NCC depends on transmission speed, and the method used within the NCC. A time synchronized RTU560 can synchronize subordinate RTUs and IEDs via: A periodically transmitted synchronization instruction with a communication protocol supporting this function Time synchronization using SNTP V4 (RFC2030) on a LAN/WAN network Special hardware and software logic has been incorporated on each of the CMU communication boards to manage real time within the RTU560. Once the RTU560 is synchronized, the RTU560 can maintain a time accuracy of about 2 ppm, even if the time synchronization source is lost for a certain period.
Benefits: Flexible adaptation of time synchronization to system circumstances High time accuracy over the total network

Diagnostics RTU560 diagnostic system is based on the web server technology. Therefore no special tools are required to analyse the RTU560.The diagnostics could be carried out either locally or remote via LAN/WAN. All RTU560 modules are maintenance free. Due to the small numbers of different modules, spare parts are kept to a minimum. Since the application data is stored on Compact Flash CardsTM it is possible to exchange modules without new configuration download. The functional operation of the RTU560 is guaranteed by a comprehensive monitoring concept. The hardware and software is continuously monitored from the I/O boards throughout the entire RTU. The hardware and software monitoring is carried out by active checks at several levels. The diagnostics concept of the RTU560 has been designed to use modern communications technologies. Use of Internet technologies has allowed users to remotely interrogate the RTU560 from any location. Users are now able to diagnose the RTU560 from Utility Headquarters or other locations without having to go to the station.
If a station visit is necessary, the user will have all the necessary information in advance of the visit to properly assess the issue and resolve it in a timely manner. Remote access via Intranet is combined with authority privileges for the user. It is possible to: Monitor the RTU-produced internal messages Monitor and check the RTU560 configuration and the status of all connected process signals Check the current version of the configuration file Down- or upload the RTU560 configuration file for the RTU560 CMU boards Upload the archive files Access to each communication board is granted individually.

Engineering
The data engineering of the RTU560 can easily be carried out by the user with the help of the MS-WindowsTM based tool RTUtil 560 and by MSExcelTM signal lists. RTUtil 560 is designed to engineer small RTU560s, medium-sized RTU560s with a set of included IEDs, and also to engineer gateway RTUs with all the types of communication links and IEDs used in the customer's network. Process signal mapping to the different communication protocols is one of the main tasks needed in hierarchical communication network structures. The process signals of a small RTU connected at the lowest level of a network may be routed via other RTUs on the way up to the final network control center (NCC). All necessary communication links and parameters are engineered with RTUtil 560 in one project. The signal and communication data can be entered into RTUtil 560 via import of MS-ExcelTM signal lists. Therefore only limited RTUtil 560 knowledge is required. The use of MS-ExcelTM functionality allows quick and easy data entry of large volumes of process data.To allow adaptations for specific customer or project requirements, the structure of the MS-ExcelTM sheets used for data import is expandable and can also be used for documentation. Also the ExcelTM sheets via the EXCELTM export functionality can be used for documentation and data revision work. The Engineering principle in RTUtil 560 is according to IEC 61346-1 standard. With the RTUtil 560, separate views for signals, hardware, and communication data is possible. This makes configuration changes easy. Before generating configuration files, the RTUtil 560 system carries out an engineering data consistency check. Any engineering errors occurring will be recognized and logged in files with the error location. The configuration file transfer will be done by using the integrated web server connected to the RTU560 MMI interface. The configuration of the RTU560 can also be carried out from a remote PC via Internet links or the customer's Intranet. Download by a network control center via IEC 60870-5-101/104 file transfer protocol is also possible. Upload of the data files is used for reverse data engineering.

PLC functions
The RTU560 can be optionally equipped with a Programmable Logic Control (PLC) software package. This allows sequential control or closedloop application functions that are processed in parallel to the telecontrol activities. The PLC programming package fully complies to the IEC 61131-3 programming standard. The modularity of the RTU560 in hardware and software allows PLC programs to be run either on the same CMU board, parallel to the telecontrol task, or on a separate CMU central board used only for the PLC application. PLC programs have access to all process signal values as well as the process signal qualifiers such as invalid, time, etc. PLC programs running distributed applications may use the qualifiers for secure and safe operation. PLC programs update the process signal values via the process data interface. The telecontrol task will be informed about changes and updates of the new output values either to the process output boards or via the communication line to the network control centers and subdevices. PLC programs are developed by a powerful PLC programming tool MULTIPROG wt. The PLC package allows programming in the programming languages defined in IEC 61131-3: Function Block Diagram (FDB) Ladder Diagram (LD) Sequential Function Chart (SFC) Instruction List (IL) Structured Text (ST) The function block RTU560 library contains the function blocks to interface with the process I/Os values, attributes and qualifiers. Additionally, it is possible to create user-specific function blocks or functions for various applications. Benefits: No need of additional PLC systems Flexible method to adapt to customer specific requirements Reduced education cost due to compatibility to IEC 61131-3 programming standard

Cabinets The RTU560 Modules are housed in 19" Racks which can be configured in different housing arrangements. A number of cabinet arrangements can also be catered for the RTU560. Swing frame solution A swing frame configuration gives a maximum of flexibility for different process connections. Terminal blocks on the backplane with or without disconnecting possibilities, external marshalling cabinets or cross wiring within the cubicles are just a few of the configuration possibilities. Mounting plate solution The backplane mounting of the RTU560 rack is the most cost effective solution as wiring runs are completely minimized in the cabinet. Since the terminals are already integrated into the rack no wiring from the modules to the terminals is needed. For both configurations, floor standing and wall mounted cubicles, as swing frame or back plane mounting construction is available.
Benefits: Housing design according to isolation needs and space restrictions 19'' racks ensures a high standardisation High flexible configurations according to process connection requirements 19'' racks with integrated terminals reduce wiring efforts

Hardware
The modules conform to the standard European format for insertion in a 19" rack. By utilizing surface-mounted devices and multi-layer circuit boards, a high integration density is achieved on the modules. These high-density printed circuit boards result in compact terminals, thus providing a highly functional capability. The RTU560 hardware system includes all the boards and modules needed for the RTU. The basic boards listed in this brochure are in the Technical Data chapter. Additional boards and modules can be found in the hardware documentation. The RTU560 can be supplied with an input voltage between 24 and 220V DC or 110 230V AC via an additional AC/DC converter. The RTU560 is designed to run redundant power supplies. The two power supplies are each designed for 100% of the load. During normal operation, they share the load. Each module can be plugged in or pulled out during operation. The RTU560 is approved to be CE compliant and checked to the EMC/EMI standards specified for telecontrol units in IEC 60870-2-1. Communication Modules The RTU560 CMU boards are based on the PC 104 concept. A PC 104 main board contains the kernel of a personal computer (PC) and has become standard recently. It allows the easy integration of standard PC-based software as well as easy adaptation to specific hardware extensions. Following these standards secures your investment and ensures the easy adaptation to subsequent CMU generations by simply replacing the PC 104 main board with the current version. CMU modules available: Communication Unit 560CMU02 Communication Unit 560CMU04 Communication Unit 560CMU80 Each CPU communication board has an additional serial or Ethernet interface for MMI to a PC. The MMI is used for diagnostics, upload and download of configuration files, etc. I/O Boards Only five I/O board types are needed to cover the main requirements for the I/O signals connected to the RTU560. This is possible because of a microprocessor-controlled kernel module which is identical on all types of I/O boards, whereas the individual I/O function is provided by type specific hardware circuit extensions to the kernel.
