General Data Structuring and view

� General view of the user to engineering data is based on std IEC1346-1

� This std describe the structuring principles and reference designations for industrial systems, installations and equipment

� The user interface structure : 3 trees to describe system structure used by RTU 560

� Network TreeLine and protocols for routing the data points through network.

� Signal TreeThe signal location and designation in primary process

� Hardware treeThe RTU hardware structure with the levels cabinet, rack, board and reference to the data points defined in signal tree

Data Engineering Concept

� The engineering of RTU 560 contains several dependency step.

� Basic Engineering steps :

1. Project configuration – set the project environment data. Before building the trees, the Signal Tree structure has to be initialise (number of level and naming of these level)

2. Build up tree structure – build up the station network topology in the Network Tree. Choose the lines and communication protocol between stations

3. Define data points type in Signal Tree – this is object identifier for physical data point in database.

4. Define all the RTUs and IEDs in the system in Hardware Tree. It contain’s full description of hardware details with cabinet, rack, board.

5. The defined data points in the Signal Tree and defined lines and protocols in the Network Tree are links together in Hardware tree.

While adding or linking of new point in progress to hardware tree, the automatic signal routing functionality for this point will be executed.

6. Set the parameter (PDP), addresses. General parameter for CMU, time synchronisation source, buffer size need to be defined.

Tree Functionalities

The presentation of the engineering data in different tree structures results in a complete new engineering process concept.

� Network Tree enable user to define the whole RTU station network topology and to handle the connectivity data, the protocol parameter and the filter functionality of a project.

� Signal Tree enable user to define the unique object identifier for each physical data point in a system. It gives an overview amount of IO data available.

� Hardware Tree enable user to define the structure of the RTU hardware.

Engineering Functions in Hardware Tree

� Build up RTU’s internal hardware structure

� Build up RTU’s communication structure : internal RTU network with communication board, peripheral bus, system bus

� Build up IO hardware : add data points to the RTU or link data points from the signal tree

RTUtil NT : Project Plausibility

Plausibility check is a recommend process before creating loadable file to RTUPlausibility check is an error checking process for data integrity in loadable file to RTU

To perform plausibility check :

1. By Menu go to Project/ check plausibility2. By tool bar

RTUtil NT : Project Build

After a successful plausibility check, the next stage is to build loadable file to RTU.

To build/ generate RTU file :1. By Menu go to Project/ Build RTU file

By tool bar2. Choose a file name *.IOD (this file name is

automatically set if station name is already defined.)
