SCD5200 Dual Communications Modules
BACKGROUND
The SCD5200, a Station Computing Device (SCD),
inherits the pedigree and function of the
Foxboro Evo RTU50. The SCD5200 integrates the
field-proven RTU50 hardware into a more compact,
higher performance package, with latest generation
processors and fabrication techniques.
The SCD5200 combines the features and benefits of
the RTU50 Series components with higher levels of
communications, integration, and package
engineering.
A key development of the SCD5200 is the integration
of CPU, OptoNet, Power, and dual Ethernet into
the main processor board (COPE) to provide a
OVERVIEW
The SCD5200 features options for communicating
with SCADA Master Stations, human machine
interfaces, Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs), and
plant equipment (see SCD5200 Architectural
Overview [PSS 31H-8G1]). Various media options are
provided by serial ports on the COPE Module (see
PSS 31H-8G3) and 8 Channel Serial Module (see
PSS 31H-8G6) and this range of Dual
Communications Modules.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The Dual Communication Modules in the SCD5200
are based on intelligent communication cards, with
each card featuring a microprocessor, and
associated random access memory (RAM) and read
only memory (ROM). The on-board processor sends
and receives messages, and controls the
implemented communication protocol. This
information is passed to the COPE (CPU OptoNet
Power Supply and Ethernet) module via shared
memory on the Dual Communication Module. Error
detection algorithms appropriate for each supported
protocol monitor communication integrity and
guarantee a high level of data integrity.
Where the communication subsystem is used as part
of time synchronization from the SCADA Master
Station, the Dual Communication Module implements
the protocol-specific requirements to ensure the
accuracy demanded in time-critical SCADA
applications.
Each Dual Communication Module features two
independent communications channels. In modules
that support slave protocol implementation, each
channel can be configured to communicate with two
separate Master Stations, or the second channel can
be configured as a backup to the master channel.
Separate data sets can be configured when
operating in dual communication mode to two
independent Master Stations. These data sets can
be equivalent, disjointed, or intersecting sets of either
the complete Foxboro Evo SCD5200 database or a
subset of it. Therefore, greater flexibility is provided in
what data is available to each Master Station.
In addition, the COPE module maintains its own
independent Sequence of Events (SOE) buffers,
digital input momentary detect information and
accumulators. Thus complete independent operation
to each Master Station is ensured.

NOTE
IG202T-R38 from Data Connect Enterprise is
proven to operate with V.23/Bell 202 signals
with V.28 DCB as a substitute for the V.23
DCB.
(1) Only 1200 baud is supported while interfacing V.28 DCB with IG202T-R38 Modem.
(2) DNP3 Master and Slave, Conitel C2025 Master and Slave, Conitel C300 & C3000 Slave protocols are supported when using V.28
DCB with IG202T-R38 Modem.
(3) Only in Stand alone mode. When connecting external modems, these levels are not applicable.
