possibly followed by next frame without gap

SYC STA FUN INFORMATION CRC SYC

SYC STA FUN INFORMATION CRC SYC

Picture 2-1: Telegram Frame, Hitachi protocol

SYC: 01111110 binary 1 byte

STA: Station address 1 byte
FUN: Function Code 1 byte
INFORMATION: Data bytes up to 75 bytes
CRC: Error detecting code 2 byte

Note: In polling mode (Hitachi) only one frame is possible

If an octet has a bit sequence of 01111110, but is not a flag field, HLDC uses a technique
called bit-stuffing to differentiate this bit sequence from a flag field.

Once the transmitter detects that it is sending 5 consecutive 1's, it inserts a 0 bit to
prevent a "phony" flag.

At the receiving end, the receiving station inspects the incoming frame. If it detects 5
consecutive 1's it looks at the next bit. If it is a 0, it pulls it out.

Bit Send Sequence: the low order bit of a byte is sent first

Byte Send Sequence: measurements: the high order byte of a word is sent first
otherwise: the low order byte of a word is sent first

2.5 General Enquirer

Measurements are polled by the group data gathering command. The answer includes a
flag field, which indicates any changes of indications. If this flag is set, the RTU560 sends
a GE1/GE2 command for collecting these indications.

Additionally a background cycle can be specified for gathering indications (see chapter
2.1). A group data gathering command is sent cyclically, to get the actual state of the
indications.

General Enquirer GE1 and GE2 are used according to the parameter ‘Time sync cycle’
(see chapter 2.1). If the time synchronization of subordinated devices is enabled, General
Enquirer GE1 is used for data gathering, if not General Enquirer GE2 is used.

2.6 Data Types

The column RTU560 Type shows the type of data with must be configured in RTUtil560.

No. of addressable elements per RTU560 is the maximum number of elements of this

 5 Internal Functions

5.1 Time Synchronization

If the RTU560 shall synchronize the subordinated devices, the node must be
synchronized. The time synchronization command is sent only to subordinated devices,
which are in state ONLINE, and only if the time tag of the own RTU is valid
(synchronized).

The RTU560 sends ‘timer reset’ commands, which causes a reset of the internal ’10 ms
counter’ in the substation. The SOE messages received are time stamped with the value
of this counter. The RTU560 calculates its time stamp by adding the time stamp received
to the time of the last ‘timer reset’ command sent.

5.2 Status Check

The general interrogation of the subordinated devices is done directly after the
initialization of the RTU560 and on every change of the subordinated link from state
OFFLINE to state ONLINE.

A general interrogation is done by polling all data configured for one subordinated device.
If this polling cycle is finished, the general interrogation is considered to be terminated.

5.3 System Events

The subdevice interface manages internal status messages for every device connected
to this line. These status messages are created by the subdevice interface itself for every
connected device.

In the subdevice interface only 2 system events are supported.

Description of system event Address offset
RTU is active 24
RTU inoperable 48

During initialization the system event RTU_IS_ACTIVE (24) as SPI with value1 is sent to
the internal communication. On a running system this system event does not change.

The system event RTU_INOPERABLE (48) is sent as SPI to the internal communication
as a function of the state of the subordinated device:
State of the subordinated device Value of system event 48
OFFLINE 1
ONLINE 0

ABB AG 1KGT 150 584 V001 1 5-1

Internal Functions RTU560 Subdevice Communication Interface with Hitachi Protocol

5.4 Status Change

5.4.1 Offline to Online

If the status of a subordinated device or line changes from OFFLINE to ONLINE a

general interrogation command is sent to respective device(s)

The system event RTU_INOPERABLE (48) with value 0 is sent as SPI to the internal
communication for every device that changed the state.

5.4.2 Online to Offline

If the status of a subordinated device or line changes from ONLINE to OFFLINE all
configured data points connected to this device are sent to the internal communication
with the actual state, marked as INVALID and with the time stamp of its own RTU.

The system event RTU_INOPERABLE (48) with value 1 is sent as SPI to the internal
communication for every device that changed the state.
