speed and frequency, etc.

b. The software point of view: Quantity type and connecting terminals
of information type of processing to apply to each information,
parameters of this processing.

This custom tailoring is obviously to be performed when initially
commissioning the RTU but also each time the installation needs to be modified.
The remote configuration facility of RTUs from the master station shall be
provided.

4.9.2 Equipment Configuration

4.9.3 Data Configuration

The definition of the information to enter directly into the RTU proceeds from
the nature of the processing to be performed. The size of the database partly
depends on the way these data are organized.

a. Main Methods

38-TMSS-03, Rev. 0

When the new configuration has been thoroughly checked, it is to be
provided to the master station real-time computer system and the RTU
concerned. The delay between the two transfers shall be as short as
possible. A complete configuration package shall be provided for each
master station. Each configuration package shall notably include a portable lap-
top PC computer unit to be carried on the field.
It shall be possible to directly exchange configuration information
according to the following two modes:

i. Between the master station and the RTU via the Data Transmission
Network DTN (down loading).

ii. Between the portable configuration and maintenance lap-top and the
RTU to configure on the field.

b. Principles of Configuration

i. 1
st
step: Acquisition

A first acquisition step allows one to build a common database for all
the applications which deal with the substation information (electrical
data of the substation). A second data input is necessary to build the
database specific to a particular application.

ii. 2
nd
step: Translation

When the file developed at the first step is correct a translating module
generates a data file intended for loading into the RTU memory
according to the formatting it is awaiting and by means of the down
loading (DTN) or the portable configuration maintenance lap-top PC
thorough V.24 of the RTU.

c. Memory Structure

The RTU shall have a three level memory structure enabling separate
operations, restoration and configuration. It shall be possible to:

i. Operate the RTU, using a specific RAM.

ii. Restore operation automatically (after collapse, power supply black-
out) using a non-volatile memory such as EEPROM with battery
back-up.

iii. Configure new data in the database without disturbing the operation
using another specific RAM distinct from operating RAM. This
configuration RAM shall be accelocally or from the master station
(downloading).


38-TMSS-03, Rev. 0

It shall be possible to switch and operate the RTU from operating RAM
to configuration RAM, in order to check the validity and consistency of the new
database, before storing the contents of the configuration RAM into the
non-volatile memory. During this sequence it shall be possible to return to
previous conditions of operation by switching back to the operating RAM
which shall therefore not be modified by the switching command.

4.10 Communications Modems

4.10.1 The RTU shall communicate with the master station via the RTU modem. The
function of modem is to provide an interface between the digital signals used
within the RTU, and the modulated tones of the communication channels. The
frequencies, levels and types of modulation used for these tones must be
compatible with both the communication media being used, and the modem(s) at
the end of the system.

4.10.2 Modem data interface shall conform to TIA Standard 232-F or IEC 60870-3 to
provide compatibility with the existing SCADA system. Use of the RS-232-D
interface level is required to provide flexibility in the system configuration, by
permitting any device which conforms to these standards to be tied into the
system, by merely plugging-in the standard connector and/or adapter.

4.10.3 The communications modems used to interface the RTU with the master station,
shall be configured as illustrated in Figure I as follows:
