Consumer The Remote Terminal Unit S.P.I.D.E.R. RTU 200, used in this projectis a
Official
Analysis Tool multi processor RTU with distributed software and functions with powerful E-Mail
(CAT) features and a flexible configuration. The I/O boards handle all the I/O
tasks directly related to the physical handling of the I/O signals, the pre CPDCL
Remote processing of the I/O signals, and the transfer of the data via the I/O bus of Tele
Metering the main processor. The main controls the I/O modules and is in charge of Directory
Microcontrollers all functions related to the overall RTU functionality. The Remote Terminal List of
Downloads Unit (S.P.I.D.E.R. RTU200) collects data from the process, pre processes Holidays
SCADA and transmits the same through radio communication unit to the Network
Communication server (RCS 300) of the Control Centre at Erragadda. Layout

Overview

• The S.P.I.D.E.R. RTU 200 interfaces to the analog and digital

process signals depicting the primary process of the substation and
forwards the obtained information to the Master Station.

• The S.P.I.D.E.R. RTU 200 also provides the suitable output signals
to forward the control information from the Master Station to the
process (i.e., opening / closing of breaker).

• Error detection for data communication with Master station to

ensure data integrity.

• Time synchronisation with Master station computer

• Facility to store data in memory in case of failure of communication

link to the master station

• Local Time tagging of events in the RTU

• Prioritised reporting of events and alarms

• Check before execute feature for control commands

Serial RS 232C link to laptop PC for use as a portable engineering and

diagnostic test unit

Serial communication with Protection Devices or Intelligent

ElectronicDevices. For this project, TVMs are interfaced to the
S.P.I.D.E.R. RTU 200.No protection devices are connected to the RTU
in this project.

The I/O subsystem is handled by the I/O processor and the

associated I/O modules, each I/O module having its own micro
controller.

Configuration

The main parts of the S.P.I.D.E.R. RTU 200 are the Main Processor, I/O
interface modules, interface module and Power supply unit. The I/O
interface is either the basic S.P.I.D.E.R. RTU 200 I/O system or optionally
any other subsystems connected to the Main Processor via serial
communication links.

Main CPU Module

The CPU module of RTU200 is called 23ZG20. It control the

communication to the I/O modules and other peripherals. An RS485 serial
bus is used to communicate to the modules.

The CPU collects information from the different I/O modules, processes
them.

I/O system

The I/O system provides the Peripheral Bus Processor with pre-processed
information from the primary process and forwards control information to
the primary process.

The data acquisition and output of process information is carried out by

each of the I/O-boards. Each of these boards is equipped with its own
processor which is responsible for basic data acquisition functions.

Digital Input Module

Each Digital Input card (23BE21) has its own microprocessor and caters
to 16 inputs. The time taken to scan all the sixteen inputs is 1ms. This
enables the system to have a resolution of 1ms for digital inputs.

Digital Output Module

Each Digital Output card (23BA20) has its own microprocessor and
contains 16 relay outputs, which could be used to give ON/OFF
commands (called object commands) to eight (8) breakers.

Analog Input Module

The Analog Input card (23AE21) also has its own microprocessor. It caters
to 8 analog inputs, whose ranges are individually programmable (0 - 5 mA,
4-20 mA,
5 mA, 0-1 V DC, etc.,). The module carries out limit violation
checks, dead band checks, smoothing and analog to digital conversion.
Limit violations are treated as events and can be time stamped in this
module.

Interface Module

This module (23CP62IN) is used for interfacing the TVMs to the RTU. This
module is provided with RS232C ports. A RS232C to RS485 converter will
be used for connecting the meters to the RTU.

Cabinet and power supply

The cabinet proposed is a floor-standing cabinet with swing frame for the
configuration of S.P.I.D.E.R. RTU 200 module racks and other details are
as per the drawings enclosed.

Power Supply

Intranet Page 3 of 3

Each module rack is fitted with its own power supply unit which receives
48 V DC from the power distribution board and provides 5 V DC and 24 V
DC power supplies to the other modules in the rack.

POWER SUPPLIES

The Central station is powered by redundant UPS of 15 KVA Capacity.

The Communication system equipment at the central station gets power
from a dual battery charger with 160 AH of batteries.

All the TDMA stations are powered by 160 AH dual battery - charger units
while the 33/11 kv Stations have 80 AH battery - charger units. The
batteries used are of Sealed Maintenance Free (SMF) type batteries.

SERVICES

The turn key responsibility entrusted to M/s ABB calls for all the
associated services involved in the execution of this mega project,
the first of its kind in India.
