583 - NSK5 Modem

IndustrialIT for Utility Communications
CommunicateIT FSK Data Transmission NSK5
A programmable modem for power utility

communication network.
For use in SCADA systems
NSK5 is a new frequency shift keyed modem
for the transmission of data over voice-grade
communication facilities. Already a success in
the marketplace, the modem is designed for
use in SCADA systems and allows both serial
asynchronous and synchronous data transmission. It uses binary frequency modulation
techniques which make it highly immune to
interference and noise and permit extensive
voice-band communication link utilization.
about 20 for the earlier NSK4

series to just 2 for the NSK5
generation underscores this key
benefit of the new design. NSK5
modems can be mounted either in
their own equipment tier or, when
used together with ABBs new
ETL power line carrier set, plugged
direct into reserved slots in this
equipment.

Advanced microprocessor technology

The modem employs advanced microprocessor
technology, is fully programmable, and has no
frequency-dependent parts. Being microprocessor-based, it offers high service flexibility
and significantly reduces hardware inventories.

One module for all channels

A programmable NSK5 modem contains a
complete transmitter and receiver, including
line equipment and line transformers, a galvanically isolated power supply, and a type RS
232 C, D/V.24/V.28 data interface. Also included
are a number of useful extra functions previously
available only with special add-on modules at
extra cost.
Highlights
A choice of synchronous or asynchronous

data transmission
Data can be transmitted either in asynchronous
mode with speed and code transparency and
without clock signals, or in synchronous
mode with a clock signal provided at both the
transmitting and receiving end of the modem.
Integrated data regeneration

As an option, the modem can be made to
regenerate the data at the receiving end to
eliminate unacceptably high pulse distortion,
which can occur occasionally in a critical
transmission path. This reduces the users costs
and simplifies project engineering; the integrated regenerator function is simply enabled
whenever it is required.
Amplitude equalizer for long cables

An amplitude equalizer to compensate for frequency-dependent attenuation distortion on
long cables is a standard feature of the NSK5
modem. The user simply selects the most
suitable equalizer for his link using the program
switches.
Integrated line switchover unit

A version of the modem with integrated line
switchover facility is also available. With this
option, transmission is automatically continued
over the backup line if the main path fails.
This modem is for users desiring an even higher
transmission availability.
Galvanically isolated module power supply

A built-in voltage converter with 2 kVrms
insulation level prevents earth (ground) loops
between the modems in the subrack and
between the modems and the main power
supply. The modem can be fed direct from a

24 V battery or from other voltage sources
with separate DC/DC or AC/DC converter
mounted in the equipment tier.
NSK5 can be mounted in a subrack
A separate equipment tier, with the option
of redundant main power supplies for all the
common supply voltages, can accommodate
up to 9 modems. The signal cables can be
connected either to the front or to the rear of
the modem.
or plugged into ETL power line carrier
equipment
The modem can also be plugged into reserved
slots in ABBs ETL power line carrier unit. Up to
five modems may be inserted, depending on
the extent to which the ETL system is utilized.
Users choosing this option do not need a
separate NSK5 equipment tier with its own
power supply.
1200 bauds plus speech transmission
Using a standardized channel with special
equalizer, and with the modem plugged into
the ETL equipment, a data channel with
1200 bits/s can be operated on top of the
300 to 2000 Hz band used for the speech
channel.
Up to 2400 bauds
Signalling rates of 2400 bits/s are possible with
FSK, providing the total speech bandwidth of
300 to 3400 Hz is available. The program
switches are used to select standard speeds, as
well as 2400 bauds for pilot wire or PLC transmissions with special equalization.
Comprehensive test facilities
Data terminal equipment can request a local
analog test loop conforming to ITU-T V.54
(loop 3) by means of the signal LL (for Local
Loop). This involves a transmitted message
being looped back to the receiver at a point
immediately before the line transformers,
resulting in local reception of a message.
There is also a switch on the front panel for
initiating self-testing of the modem.
