  1. Advances in Communications & Reliability of Power and Control Systems Presented by John S. Levine, P.E. Levine Lectronics and Lectric, Inc. 770 565-1556 John@L-3.com

  2. Are you frustrated? • Ever had problems getting on the network? • Ever had problems getting on the web? • How can a person with an Apple Computer send you an email when you use Microsoft Outlook? • Why can’t I talk to these relays?

  3. This is all part of Communications! • All these questions will hopefully be answered and more because:

  4. Overview of Topics to be covered • Basics • Ethernet • Protocols • HMI

  5. Basics • Introduction • Parallel • Serial • Parity Error • Network • Standards • OSI Model

  6. Introduction

  7. Formatting Group Address Description Current 0300 Phase A Current 0301 Phase B Current 0302 Phase C Current 030D Phase A Differential 030E Phase B Differential 030F Phase C Differential Word – Could be 16,32, or 64 bits

  8. Parallel

  9. Serial Baud Rate – A measure of how fast serial data is moving between devices per second. 2 common levels are 19, 200 BPS and 9,600 BPS and now 115,200 BPS

  10. Serial Communications • Physical Layer • RS 232 • RS 485 • USB

  11. RS 232 Slew Rate – Speed we can go from -25 V to 25 V, limits baud rate DTE Data Terminal Equipment DCE Data Communication Equipment

  12. RS 485 conductors are electrically floating

  13. Universal Serial Bus (USB) Port • Up to 127 devices can connect to the host, either directly or by way of USB hubs. • Individual USB cables can run as long as 5 meters; with hubs, devices can be up to 30 meters away from the host. • With USB 2.,the bus has a maximum data rate of 480 Mb per second. • With USB 3.,the bus has a maximum data rate of 4.80 Gb per second. (Plan to go to 10 GB) • A USB cable has two wires for power (+5 volts and ground) and a twisted pair of wires to carry the data. • On the power wires, the computer can supply up to 500 milliamps of power at 5 volts. Type A Type B Type C

  14. Universal Serial Bus (USB) Port

  15. IEEE 1394 Interface • The IEEE 1394 interface is a serial bus interface standard for high-speed communications and isochronous real-time data transfer, frequently used in a personal computer (and digital audio and digital video). The interface is also known by the brand names of FireWire (Apple Inc.), i.LINK (Sony), and Lynx (Texas Instruments). Though not as widely used, the 1394 standard also defines a backplane interface. • Firewire 400-Speeds from 100, 200, or 400 Mbits/s half-duplex • Firewire S3200-Speeds up to 3200 Mbits/s half-duplex

  16. Network

  17. Network

  18. Network Topologies • The network topology defines the way in which computers, printers, IEDs and other devices are connected • A network topology describes the layout of the wire and devices as well as the paths used by data transmissions. • Commonly, referred to as a linear bus, all the devices on a bus topology are connected by one single cable.

  19. PRP Parallel Redundant Protocol

  20. Standards

  21. 2008 Proposed IEEE C37-2 Revision presented at Georgia Tech Relay Conference Copy at www. L-3.com/IEEE

  22. OSI Model

  23. Developed in 1978, the Open System Interconnection has 7 layers each performing part of the communications. • The physical level controls the physical connections between devices, network topology, voltage levels to define 0’s and 1’s.RS232, RS485, and USB are 3 examples • Data link level provides framing • Network determines optima routing – IP of TCP/IP is based on this • Transport level guarantees delivery and is error free – the TCP of TCP / IP (Transport Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) is at transport level • Session mechanism for the establishment of a communications session between applications • Presentation – correct translation of data • Application – provides the facilities or interface to allow the application protocols or drivers such as Modbus or DNP

  24. Ethernet • Introduction • 10/100/1000 Base T • Hubs and Switches • Fiber

  25. Introduction

  26. Ethernet in Devices Relays do not use DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

  27. 10/100 Base T Max distance 100 meters or 328 feet

  28. 10/100/1000 Base T Cat 5 Cable Cat 5e Cable Cat 6 Cable (up to 250 Mhz) Cat 6A (Augmented-up to 500 Mhz)

  29. Power over Ethernet (PoE)How does it work? Note: Which pin-out to use is determined by an interrogation between the switch and the end device. All wiring is STANDARD EtherNet. RJ45 Socket Pin-out RJ45 Connector Pin-out Source - http://pinouts.ru/Net/poe_pinout.shtml

  30. Fiber Power Budget

  31. Single and Multi Mode Fiber

  32. Single and Multi Mode Fiber 62.5 micrometers and now 50 micrometers

  33. Common Fiber Connectors SC-Subscriber Connector ST-Straight tip Primary Ethernet Port LC-Lucent Connector Redundant Ethernet Port

  34. Traditional Switchyard Construction Traditional Breaker Wiring Traditional Cable Trench Thousands of Copper Wires from Switchyard Labor Intensive Copper Wiring on Relay Panels

  35. Hard Fiber Eliminating Complexity 40 less cabling with no terminations required 1,000’s of wires replaced with few communication cables Eliminates 33 of breaker terminations Eliminate 90 of control building terminations

  36. Hubs and Switches

  37. Managed Switches • Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP):a set of protocols for managing network performance, finding and solving network problems, and planning for network growth • Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP): configures broadcast message behavior • Virtual LAN (VLAN):a network of computers that behave as if they are connected to the same wire even though they may actually be physically located on different segments of a LAN • Quality of service (QoS):Allows prioritization of packets to occur or improve performance for key channels • Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP):algorithm to prevent wiring topology mistakes or create redundancy in a network

  38. Industrial Switches for the Plant Floor

  39. Hubs and Switches

  40. Wireless • This is where the future is. Products are now being designed with Wireless build into the device. • Regulated and unregulated frequencies • 900 Mhz • 2400 Mhz • 1800 / 3650 / 5800 Mhz • Different speeds depending on the application • As the Frequency goes up, the distance goes down

  41. Router • Definition from Wikipedia - A router is a computer networking device that forwards data packets across a network toward their destinations, through a process known as routing. Routing occurs at Layer 3 (the network layer i.e. Internet Protocol (IP) of the OSI seven-layer protocol stack. Wikipedia and Linux are written collaboratively by volunteers and are “open source” and free.

  42. Other Computer Networking Devices • Gateway: device sitting at a network node for interfacing with another network that uses different protocols. Works on OSI layers 4 to 7. • Bridge: a device that connects multiple network segments along the data link layer. Works on OSI layer 2. • Repeater: device to amplify or regenerate digital signals received while setting them from one part of a network into another. Works on OSI layer 1.

  43. Other Terms • PRP – Parallel Redundancy Protocol – Two completely separate Lans going to the same device • Bandwidth – max data transfer rate • Server - computer programs running to serve the requests of other programs, the "clients“ • VPN – Virtual Private Network • RSTP - Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol – determines the path the message will take between 2 nodes

  44. Other Terms • IRIG-B – Time code accurate to 10 ms • SNTP – Simple Network Time Protocol – typically 1 to 2 ms • PTP (Precision time Protocol) time distribution technologies sub-microsecond accuracy (GE MultiSync 100) • QoS- Quality of Service – Overall performance of the network

  45. Proxy, Firewall, and Port • Proxy: computer network service which allows clients to make indirect network connections to other network services • RADIUS Server: Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service is a client/server protocol and software that enables remote access servers to communicate with a central serverto authenticate dial-in users and authorize their access to the requested system or service.

  46. Proxy, Firewall, and Port • Firewall: a piece of hardware or software put on the network to prevent some communications forbidden by the network policy • Computer port (hardware) - a physical interface between a computer and other computers or devices (COM1) • Computer port (software) - a virtual data connection between computer programs possibly through a computer network
