Whats New
GE Energy is pleased to announce the following additions to the D20/D200 product family:
D20ME II Main Processor
The D20ME II, the latest generation of D20/D200 processors, builds on the increased memory,
performance and communication port speed introduced with the D20ME. Where the D20ME
supports up to eight RS-232 serial ports (one of which is reserved for the maintenance port), the
D20ME II supports:
Seven serial ports, each of which can be configured as either RS-485 or RS-232, and
One RS-232 maintenance port.
Each D20ME II RS-485 port can communicate with up to 32 devices and operate over distances up
to 4000 feet, without the use of repeaters (see note below). The D20ME II is backwards compatible
with VME and non-VME versions of the D20 chassis, and with the D200 chassis. For more
information, see section 2.2, Main Processor.
Figure 1 D20ME II Main Processor
Note: The RS-485 port on the D20ME II provides no isolation and offers limited built-in
transient suppression. If you are using the D20ME II in an environment where longer cable runs
with larger transients are expected, installation of an external transient suppression device is
recommended to protect the RTU. In addition, GE recommends the installation of an external
transient suppression device when the RS-485 communication cable must be run to devices
located outside of the RTU cabinet containing the D20ME II. Contact Customer Service for
additional information.

D20EME (Ethernet/Memory Expansion)
The D20EME is a VME-based module that combines Ethernet support and global memory
expansion.
Figure 2 D20EME (Ethernet/Memory Expansion)
The D20EME allows VME-based D20 and D200 systems to be connected directly to any 10MB
Ethernet-based network. Available configurations of the D20EME module include:
Ethernet only
Memory only
Ethernet and Memory
For more information, see section 2.3, Ethernet/Memory Expansion (EME) Kit.
New D20/D200 I/O Peripherals
Several new I/O peripherals have been added to the D20/D200 product family.
D20AC, AC Analog Input Peripheral
The D20AC, AC analog input peripheral provides AC analog computing and monitoring. It has
the following features:
Up to 132 analog values and 18 accumulator values
Direct AC analog inputs from current and voltage transformers for up to three 3-phase
circuits, eliminating the need for transducers and/or metering IEDs
Integrated key substation functions such as metering, analog processing and power quality
measurement
3-element and 1-element (balanced system) metering
Meter calculations include kW, kVArs, kVA, power factor, frequency, kWh, kVARh, kVAh
and symmetrical components.
Power quality data: %THD (total harmonic distortion), 21
st
harmonic
For more information, see section 2.4.11 , D20AC, AC Analog Input Peripheral.

D20 High-Voltage Peripherals
D20 high-voltage peripherals provide an extra level of protection for your system. They are
packaged similar to the standard D20 I/O peripherals, but the input and output circuits are
conditioned to handle higher voltages. For instance, the high-voltage version of the D20S, the
D20SZ, supports ON thresholds of up to 220 VDC. For more information, see section 2.4, I/O
Peripheral.
D20K4Z Termination Module
The WESTERM D20K4Z is the termination panel for the D20K4Z high-voltage control output
module. As well as providing outputs that can withstand higher voltages, all of the control relays
on the D20K4Z termination module are 4-pole, momentary contact, so that both sides of an
interposer coil can be switched for additional control security. For more information, see section
2.4, I/O Peripheral.
New Power Supplies
GE Energy has introduced several new D20/D200 power supplies that provide additional
capacity and improved standards compliance. The new power supplies are designed to be drop-in
replacements for the existing D20 power supplies. As shown in the following tables, each of the
existing power supplies has two possible replacements, one with a 24V isolated output, and one
with a 48V isolated output. For more information, see section 2.5, D20/D200 Power Supplies
and Chargers.

Substation automation applications (see 4. Application Software)
1.1 System Architecture
The D20/D200 is based on a distributed processing architecture that consists of one or more
main processors, peripheral I/O modules, termination panels, power supplies and
communications equipment.
The main components of a D20/D200 system are:
D20/D200 main chassis, equipped with processor(s), power supply, RS-232/485 ports
Input/output peripheral modules
Auxiliary equipment
Communications interfaces
Application firmware
Configuration and maintenance software
User manuals
The main processor communicates with I/O peripherals over proprietary high-speed D.20
communications links. General-purpose RS-232 and RS-485 serial ports provide
communications with a variety of external devices, including substation equipment (IEDs, for
example), local printers, operator terminals, and SCADA computers.
Field data acquired by the D20/D200 is maintained in the system database, where it can be
accessed and processed by different application programs.
1.2 Hardware Design
The D20 and D200 hardware designs are based on:
Distributed processing architecture which permits the sharing of I/O data processing between
the main processor and I/O peripheral processors
CMOS logic devices for low power consumption, noise immunity and high reliability
Advanced 32-bit Freescale 68030 (D20ME and ME II) and 68HC11 (D20 I/O peripherals)
single-chip microcontrollers
Programmable logic devices (PLD) to provide flexibility and reliability, and to reduce the
physical space taken up by logic circuits
9600-baud maintenance port
D.20 HDLC link over a shielded cable or a glass/plastic fiber optic cable
The modular design of the D20/D200 allows for easy expansion when you need additional
processing power or communication ports.

F. D.20 Link Installation
Guidelines for Installing a D.20 Link
Some considerations to note when installing peripherals remotely are as follows:
5.6.1.2 Transceiver Cable (RS-485)
The maximum distance, for the communication portion (i.e. TX and RX), of the D.20 Link,
from the D20 termination panel to the Termination Resistor, is 1000 ft (300 m).
Repeater modules may be used to extend the D.20 Link beyond the maximum distance. The
DCI can extend this limit by 1000 ft.
The limit for the power supply portion (+DC & -DC) of the D.20 Link depends on the
loading. This, in turn, is determined by the following factors:
Number of peripherals per remote location
Maximum load of each peripheral (see D. Power Consumption D20 Modules)
IR drop on the cable
Cable losses for typical RS-485 wire gauges are:
#22 AWG [0.644mm] wire =.016 ohms/ft
#20 AWG [0.812mm] wire =.010 ohms/ft
Ensure that the lower threshold of 20 V, on each peripheral, is met.
WESDAC Power Converters, rated at 20 W/125 V in, 24 or 48 V out, may be used for a
maximum of two peripheral modules.
To minimize the IR drop of the cable, a higher supply voltage (i.e. 48 V) for peripherals is
recommended. An auxiliary power supply, rated at 100 W/125 V DC in, 48 V DC out, may
be used.
5.6.1.3 Fiber Optic Cable
At the start of the fiber optic cable (D20 end), the following items are required:
D20 fiber optic transceiver, either a 1:1 (DCI) or a 1:4 (DFS), depending on the number
of peripheral locations
Glass (GFO) or plastic (PFO) fiber optic adaptors, as required
Remote D20 peripheral I/O modules require 20 to 60 V DC source. A WESDAC Power
Converter or Power Supply may be used for 125 V input sites.
D20/D200 Technical Overview GE Energy
PRPI-019-3.00-4 General
96
Full
The recommended maximum distance for fiber optic cable is:
Glass: 6500 ft / 2000 m
Plastic: 146 ft / 45 m
Repeater modules may be used to extend beyond this limit.
Calculating the Maximum Distance of a D.20 Link
Following are formulae, and an example, for calculating the maximum distance of an RS-485
D.20 Link (+DC & -DC), taking into account the IR drop.

Example:
Assume you are installing three D20A and two D20S modules on an RS-485 D.20 Link using

Link as follows:

[1989 feet or 1000 feet]
=1000 feet
Therefore, the maximum distance that you can operate the D.20 Link would be 1000 feet.
Note: If external digital input contact wetting is supplied by station battery, omit the Power
Consumption of each Status Point factor (SP) from the Total Power (PT) equation.
