Communications

The D485 Modbus to DeviceNet Converter acts as

a gateway between a Modbus RTU network and a

DeviceNet network. Integration of Modbus devices

into DeviceNet networks is enabled without loss

of functionality, control, and reliability, both when

retrofitting to existing equipment as well as when

setting up new installations. The D485 Modbus

to DeviceNet Converter is an external DIN-rail

mounted device which provides DeviceNet

network connectivity via a serial RS232/RS422/

RS485 interface. The D485 is programmed using

the P485/D485 configuration cable and the

EnerVista P485/D485 Setup Software.

LAN Redundancy

Substation LAN redundancy has been

traditionally accomplished by reconfiguring

the active network topology in case of failure.

Regardless of the type of LAN architecture (tree,

mesh, etc), reconfiguring the active LAN requires

time to switchover, during which the LAN is

unavailable. UR devices deliver redundancy as

specified by PRP-IEC 62439-3. which eliminates

the dependency on LAN reconfiguration and the

associated switchover time. The UR becomes a

dual attached node that transmits data packets

over both main and redundant networks

simultaneously, so in case of failure, one of the

data packets will reach the receiving device with

no time delay.

Multi-Language

UR devices support multiple languages: English,

French, Russian, Chinese, Turkish and German.

These language options are available on the

front panel, in the EnerVista setup software, and

in the product manuals. Easily switch between

English and an additional language on the local

displays without uploading new firmware.

Direct I/O Messaging

Direct I/O allows for the sharing of high-speed

digital information between multiple UR

relays via direct back-to-back connections or

multiplexed through a standard DS0 multiplexer

channel bank. Regardless of the connection

method, direct I/O provides continuous real-time

channel monitoring that supplies diagnostics

information on channel health.

Direct I/O provides superior relay-to-relay

communications that can be used in advanced

interlocking, generation rejection and other

special protection schemes.

• Communication with up to 16 UR relays

in single or redundant rings rather than

strictly limited to simplistic point-to-point

configurations between two devices

• Connect to standard DS0 channel banks

through standard RS422. G.703 or IEEE

C37.94 interfaces or via direct fiber optic

connections

• No external or handheld tester required to

provide channel diagnostic information

Interoperability with Embedded IEC

61850 Edition 2

The new IEC 61850 implementation in the UR

Family positions GE as an industry leader in this

standard:

• Implements Edition 2 of the standard across

the entire family of UR devices

• Provides full relay setting management via

standard SCL files (ICD, CID and IID)

• Enables automated relay setting

management using 3rd party tools through

standard file transfer services (MMS and SFTP)

• Increases the number of Logical Devices and

data mapped to them, GOOSE messages, and

reports to support different organizational

needs for data transfer and reduce

dependency on generic logical nodes

• Configures GE Systems based on IEC 61850

using universal 3rd party tools

Communications

The C30 provides advanced communications

technologies for remote data and engineering

access, making it easy and flexible to use and

integrate into new and existing infrastructures.

Direct support for fiber optic Ethernet provides

high-bandwidth communications allowing

for low-latency controls and high-speed

file transfers of relay fault and event record

information.

The available three independent

Ethernet ports, redundant Ethernet option

and the embedded managed Ethernet switch

provide the means to create fault tolerant

communication architectures in an easy,

cost-effective manner without the need for

intermediary communication hardware.

The C30 supports the most popular industry

standard protocols enabling easy, direct

integration into DCS and SCADA systems.
