Introduction Substation Controller

Introduction
This document gives initial instructions to start the unit. It is addressed to a person
with profile of a project developer that has sufficient skills on the equipment and
associated tools to do the following operations:
• Installation of Easergy Builder
• First connection to the RTU
• Brief presentation of Easergy Builder and PowerLogicTM T300 Web server
• Importing a default configuration to Easergy Builder
• Downloading the PowerLogic T300 configuration to Easergy Builder
• Creation of protocol mapping
• Creation of new event file and corresponding settings
• Setting the PowerLogic T300 RTU synchronization
• Sending the configuration to the unit
The PowerLogic T300 RTU can be received from Schneider Electric in various
forms:
• If received as a complete PowerLogic T300 cabinet, the unit is provided
from the factory with a default configuration that corresponds to the options of
the unit ordered. In this case, the aim is simply to make a first connection to
the unit and to use the Easergy Builder configuration tool to download the
existing PowerLogic T300 configuration, change the settings and personalize
it to the customer application.
• If received as separate modules HU250, SC150/SC160, LV150, PS50, etc.),
they will be assembled after the delivery in a panel or an enclosure. No
configuration is included in the unit, because it depends on the customer
application which is unknown to the factory at the time of supply. In this case,
the product includes only an empty configuration. A default configuration must
be generated by the T300 Generator configuration tool (creation of *.tar.
gz file). This default configuration must then be imported to Easergy Builder
and personalized according to the customer application.
In both cases, once completed, the configuration must be uploaded to the unit
using Easergy Builder or saved externally as *.tar.gz file, to be uploaded later
to other T300 units.

Easergy Builder Substation Controller

Easergy Builder
Presentation
Easergy Builder is the advanced configuration customization tool for the T300.
This customization can be done offline or connected to the unit. The configuration
established in Easergy Builder can be downloaded directly to the unit or imported
later when connected to it. The goal of Easergy Builder is to prepare a reference
configuration. This reference configuration can be used globally as a template for
all T300s to be commissioned. Once this configuration is loaded into the unit, the
user must configure the application parameters specific to each T300 (MV
network parameters, communication parameters, etc.). This setting is done via the
T300 web server. The configuration created in the Easergy Builder tool takes into
account the possibilities and options of the unit, as well as the different T300
firmware versions. Each firmware version may include specific options or settings
that do not exist in other versions. By creating the configuration, the user must
define the version of the T300 firmware used, so that the configuration
corresponds to this version. Thus, the compatibility of the generated configuration
will be compliant to the version of the T300 firmware.
NOTE: When a configuration file is loaded into the unit, the PowerLogic T300
is able (through an update mechanism) to make compatible the loaded
configuration that does not match the embedded firmware version. However,
the missing or overwritten parameters in this configuration will be ignored,
thus helping avoid any issue related to the operation of the system.

Installation of Easergy Builder

The installation instructions and the Easergy Builder software installation
procedure are explained in the Easergy Builder User Manual (SE-S856-MSS).
Consult this document for more information on these procedures.

Substation Controller Configuration of SC150/SC160 and LV150 IP Addressees

Configuration of SC150/SC160 and LV150 IP

Addressees
Introduction
If the SC150/SC160 or LV150 modules are received as separate modules and are
therefore not part of a complete PowerLogic T300 enclosure, it is necessary to
change the existing IP address. Each SC150/SC160 and LV150 delivered from
the factory includes a default IP address (e.g. 192.168.10.10). If multiple SC150/
SC160s and LV150s are used and connected to the same LAN Ethernet network
as the PowerLogic T300 device, each SC150/SC160 and LV150 device must
have a different IP address to help avoid IP address conflicts on the LAN network.
The following explains how to change the SC150/SC160 or LV150 IP address.
The IP address configured depends on the position of the module on the
PowerLogic T300. If the SC150/SC160 and LV150 modules are received in a
complete PowerLogic T300 enclosure, this operation was already performed at
the factory. In this case, there is no need to follow this procedure.

Changing the IP Address of the PC

To be able to change the IP address of an SC150/SC160 or LV150 module, the
computer must be directly connected to the LAN Ethernet port of the module.
Unlike the HU250, the SC150/SC160 and LV150 do not include a DHCP server.
So, to adapt the computer to the SC150/SC160 or LV150 IP addresses, the IP
address of the computer must be changed as explained below:
1. Click Start > Settings > Network & Internet.

16 NT00383–08
Configuration of SC150/SC160 and LV150 IP Addressees Substation Controller

2. Select Ethernet and click on Change adapter options.

3. Right click on the desired network adapter and click on Properties on the
pop-up window.

4. In the Network management tab, double-click Internet Protocol Version 4

(TCP/IPv4).

5. In the new window that appears, in the General tab, click Use the following
IP address option.
6. Enter 192.168.10.11 in the IP address field, then click OK twice to apply the
new IP address.
7. The IP address of the computer has now been changed and is compatible
with the IP address of SC150/SC160 or LV150 for the Ethernet connection.

Changing the IP address of SC150/SC160 or LV150

Modules
The IP address of the computer has now been changed. The next step is to
access the HTML pages of the SC150/SC160 or LV150 device in order to change
the IP address. The procedure is the same for the two types of modules.
1. Connect the Ethernet cable between the PC and the local LAN Ethernet port
of the module.
2. Start an internet browser.
3. Enter the IP address (http://192.168.10.10) in the Address field, then click
Ok.
NOTE: This access is not secure. So be careful, there is http and not
https in the address field.

18 NT00383–08
Configuration of SC150/SC160 and LV150 IP Addressees Substation Controller

4. The HTML page of the SC150/SC160 or LV150 module is displayed.

5. Go down the page until you reach the IP Address option.

6. In the IP address field, enter the new IP address, depending on the type of
module to configure, according to the following rules:

• SC150/SC160
◦ 1st SC150/SC160: IP address=192.168.0.1
◦ 2nd SC150/SC160: IP address=192.168.0.2
◦ 3rd SC150/SC160: IP address=192.168.0.3
◦ 4th SC150/SC160: IP address=192.168.0.4
◦ Etc.
• LV150
◦ 1st LV150: IP address=192.168.0.31
◦ 2nd LV150: IP address=192.168.0.32
◦ 3rd LV150: IP address=192.168.0.33
7. Click Submit to save the new IP address.
8. Switch off and switch on the power supply of the module to apply the new IP
address (the IP address is only applied after restarting the unit).
9. The module is now ready to be installed on the HU250 LAN Ethernet network
of the PowerLogic T300.
10. Repeat the same process for all the SC150/SC160 and LV150 modules.
NOTE: If the module is already configured and installed on the IP network of
the HU250 with other LV150 and SC150/SC160 modules, it is necessary to
disconnect the Ethernet jumpers connected to the adjacent modules and to
restart the module before performing this operation of reconfiguring the IP
address. Otherwise, the module may not respond to the request of connection
to the IP address http://192.168.10.10.

NT00383–08 19
Substation Controller Uploading Firmware to SC150/SC160 and LV150 Modules

Uploading Firmware to SC150/SC160 and LV150

Modules
Downloading of firmware to the T300 is normally done via the T300 Web server
pages. However, it is also possible to download the firmware via direct access to
HTML pages of the SC150/SC160 or LV150 modules. See below the method to
perform this operation. This operation may be useful for maintenance or update of
the SC150/SC160 or LV150 device without needing access to the Web server.
First, the IP address of the computer must be changed. Refer to the instructions
described in chapter Changing the IP address of the PC.
If it is not already done, refer to the previous chapter on Changing the IP address
of SC150/SC160 and LV150, page 18 modules to configure the IP address of the
modules you want to upgrade. If the SC150/SC160 and LV150 modules are
received in a complete PowerLogic T300 enclosure, this operation has already
been performed in the factory. In this case, there is no need to change the IP
addresses of the modules.
The next step is to access the HTML pages of the SC150/SC160 or LV150 device
to upload the new firmware:
1. With the Ethernet cable connected between the PC and the LAN Ethernet
port of the module, start an Internet browser.
2. Define the IP address to be accessed, according to the position of the module
in the PowerLogic T300 unit.
• SC150/SC160
◦ 1st SC150/SC160: IP address=192.168.0.1
◦ 2nd SC150/SC160: IP address=192.168.0.2
◦ 3rd SC150/SC160: IP address=192.168.0.3
◦ 4th SC150/SC160: IP address=192.168.0.4
◦ Etc.
• LV150
◦ 1st LV150: IP address=192.168.0.31
◦ 2nd LV150: IP address=192.168.0.32
◦ 3rd LV150: IP address=192.168.0.33
3. Enter the IP address in the Address field, then click Ok.
NOTE: This access is not secure. So be careful, there is http and not
https in the address field.

Easergy Builder is the dedicated PowerLogic T300 configuration tool for engineers
to configure and customize advanced PowerLogic T300 functions that cannot be
configured on the PowerLogic T300 Web server.
As defined in the previous chapter, Easergy Builder software must be installed on
a computer. It is mainly an off-line tool that can be used without connection to the
product, except for uploading existing PowerLogic T300 configuration or
uploading a new configuration to the unit. Connection to the PowerLogic T300
RTU is required to upload a configuration to the unit. Connection to the unit can be
established via WI-FI or wired connection or remotely via the WAN with secure
connection (follow the instructions in the chapter 3 to initialize the Wi-Fi, page 11
or Ethernet, page 13 connection to the unit before using Easergy Builder).
NOTE: A project produced with Easergy Builder is saved to a computer hard
disk so that it can be modified off-line (i.e. without another connection to the
product). Easergy Builder includes two separate interfaces:

30 NT00383–08
Overview of Easergy Builder Substation Controller

• WorkSpace:
The WorkSpace is the main configuration page for the user. It displays a tree
of all existing PowerLogic T300 RTU configurations and offers as a diagram
the architecture of each RTU application (i.e. the architecture of the different
functional or communication blocks (called devices) which are included in the
configuration).

The default folder where the Workspace is saved is as follows: C:\Users

\myname\Documents\Workspace1. To download an existing Workspace,
use the File> Load WorkSpace menu option.
Each RTU configuration of the WorkSpace: includes the following general
settings:
◦ IP parameters for LAN, WAN and Wi-Fi access (IP address, time delays,
etc.). These IP addresses are used to transfer configuration files to the
unit.
◦ Slot (modem) to be used for communication (RS232/485, 3G or 4G).
• RTU configuration:
By clicking on the RTU configuration name on the left-hand panel of the
WorkSpace, the window changes to display details about the RTU
configuration.
Each of the following types of functional blocks (named devices or bin
controllers) can be included in a PowerLogic T300 RTU configuration:
◦ Supervision
◦ SOE (Sequence of Evenets)
◦ Local acquisition (input/output)
◦ Command Management (Cilo)
◦ Formula
◦ Client/Server Protocol (IEC60870-5-104, IEC60870-5-101, DNP3)
◦ Modbus Client protocol
◦ IsaGRAF project interface
Clicking on a device name gives access to the device configuration details.
To personalize the application, this RTU configuration interface provides 4 pages
of settings:

NT00383–08 31
Substation Controller Overview of Easergy Builder

• Devices page: Used to define and adjust settings with one device for each
functional or communication block. These settings can also be viewed or
changed using thePowerLogic T300 Web pages.

• Channels: One communication channel for each internal or external

communication link. A channel is attached to a protocol device. These
settings can also be viewed or changed using the PowerLogic T300 Web
pages.
• CoreDb: Real-time database including, for each data object, labels and
mapping, sources and destinations. These definitions are used to build the
Monitoring and Control Web pages for the RTU but note that related settings
can only be changed in Easergy Builder.

NOTE: This operation should be performed only by an engineer or an expert

who has sufficient product skills and knowledge of the Easergy Builder
configuration tool.
Once the unit has been started and the connection established, the PowerLogic
T300 configuration must be customized to make it correspond to the project
requirements. To do this, the configuration must first be uploaded to the Easergy
Builder tool.
There are two possibilities for importing a T300 configuration into Easergy Builder.
The first option is to download the existing configuration from the PowerLogic
T300 unit when connected to it.
The second option is by importing a *.tar.gz configuration file.

How to Import a Configuration from a PowerLogic T300

Connected to Easergy Builder
In Easergy Builder, importing the configuration from the PowerLogic T300 RTU is
made up of two different steps:
• Creating a new RTU device
• Importing the RTU parameters (PowerLogic T300 configuration).
These two processes are described in detail in the following instructions:

How to Create a Sequence of Events (SOE)

An Event device is automatically created during device configuration in default
PowerLogic T300 configurations. This Event device corresponds to default use. It
includes some of thePowerLogic T300 data points that to integrate the application.
In the event of a signal change, data points are configured to record related
changes in an Event file containing specific predefined labels for each state or
measurement unit.
All corresponding settings are made to parameters of the SOE device and to the
CoreDb spreadsheet.
The next sections in this chapter describe how to:
• Create new SOE devices
• Change default settings
• Add or delete data points

Creating a New SOE Device

3. To enter SOE file settings, double-click the Alarm device.
4. A new SOE file screen is displayed. If required, change default settings such
as Log file name and Max. events logged in the Configuration pane.

5. Two lD lists are defined by default in the Status and Analog panes, Each ID
corresponds to an identifier for a list of strings used to format information
related to logged output.
ID lists differ between Status and Analog panes:
• Status: used to set up values associated with logical points to make
them more descriptive, with customized labels for each status. These
labels are displayed in the log file and Web server page. By selecting an
item in the ID list, tags display with specific label values of a logical point.
Change existing labels using the Modify button and create new IDs and
associated labels by clicking on the + button.
• Analog: used to set up the unit which is transmitted. It is associated with
an analog value and displayed in the log file and Web server page. By
selecting an item in the ID list, tags appear on screen with specific labels
corresponding to the unit of the analog point. Change existing labels if
necessary and create new IDs and associated labels by clicking on the +
button.
6. Once IDs and associated tags are modified or created, click the Ok button to
take changes in the SOE file into account.

How to Customize the LEDs (HU250)

LEDs (1 to 8) used on the front panel of HU250 module and the external indicators
(lights) can be customized to define the data points (and thus the corresponding
functionality) required to switch on / light up these LEDs.
The configuration described in this procedure can be made only via Easergy
Builder.

LED 1
LED 2
LED 3
LED 4
LED 5

LED 6
LED 7
LED 8

The display color of these LEDs can also be customized. This can be done via
Easergy Builder or via the T300 Web server. For more details regarding these
settings, consult the T300 user manual (NT00378).

Assigning Customizable LEDs on Front Panel of HU250 Module

The 8 LEDS (LEDs 1 to 8) on front panel of HU250 (see illustration above) can be
customized.
However, if PS50 power supply module is used, LEDs 1 to 5 are already assigned
to T300 predefined functions. The final 3 LEDs (LED 6-8) can be freely allocated.
If the PS50 power supply module is not used, you can reallocate their assignment,
but this is not recommended due to loss of the standard T300 functionality.

Examples of Assignment for External Indicators

The operation depends only on the data point to which the indicator is assigned.
• Directional fault current detection: the standard functionality involves the
use of the first indicator (green) indicating the presence of a fault current
towards the busbar and the second indicator (red) for indicating the presence
of a fault current in the direction of the network. The data set in this case is as
follows:

Data point to configure Description Assignement

SC01_GenSFPI1_FltInd_ Fault current direction - Ext. indicator 1

Substation Controller How to Synchronize the RTU

How to Synchronize the RTU

One of the RTU project customization consists of defining the way to synchronize
the unit automatically.
There are three possibilities for synchronizing the RTU:
• Automatically by the communication protocol (via the SCADA).
• Through an SNTP server, if the RTU is connected to an IP network.
• By GPS satellites, if the HU250 module includes a 4G modem with GPS.
NOTE: Synchronization by GPS is only possible if RTU Type is set to v1.3 or a
higher version in Easergy Builder for the RTU. Consult the Easergy Builder
User Manual (SE-S856-MSS) for more information .
You can define two channels of synchronization, the primary device and the
secondary device.
The secondary device is used if the primary device is unavailable.
To configure the synchronization settings, perform the following instructions:
1. In the RTU configuration interface of Easergy Builder, access the
Synchronization page.

58 NT00383–08
How to Synchronize the RTU Substation Controller

2. In the Synchronization tab, define the following settings:

a. Define the primary device and the secondary device: it can be a
PROTOCOL, a GPS channel or an SNTP server. Specify one option for
each device. The two devices must have different settings.
• PROTOCOL device: in the proposed list, select the protocol device
sources from which the unit receives the synchronization date and
time via communication with SCADA. You can select more than one
protocol (for example I101S1, Dnp3S1, I104S1).

• SNTP server: if you define the server as active (Passive option not
checked), enter the period that corresponds to the time delay before
asking the server for a new synchronization. Also enter the IP
address of this SNTP server. This period is not used in passive
mode because in that mode the HU250 merely waits to be
synchronized by the server.

• GPS: synchronization is done through the 4G modem box. In the

GPS Type, select the slot used for the 4G modem:
- K7_GPS_1: modem slot number 1.
- K7_GPS_2: modem slot number 2.

NOTE: Refer to the HU250 Installation Guide (reference

NHA77925) for details of channel 1 and channel 2 modem
locations.
b. Define a timeout for the primary and secondary devices. This timeout is
the time delay before declaring the active device non-responsive and
switching to the other device.
NOTE: There is no need to define the Synchronization period. This
parameter is not used by HU250.
c. If your region zone uses summer time settings (depending on your
country) you can activate in the Synchronization, server the Summer
time settings and the Start date and End date to be applied for summer
time. Various methods are available for defining the start and end dates.

NT00383–08 59
Substation Controller How to Synchronize the RTU

Choose the one that best corresponds to the method used by your
country.

d. Define the Local time zone that corresponds to the time difference
between your local zone and GMT time.

NOTICE
HAZARD OF UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Do not change the default setting of the Synchronization server .This setting is
reserved for internal communication and synchronization between the HU250
and the SC150/SC160 or LV150 modules.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

How to Send a Configuration to the RTU Substation Controller

How to Send a Configuration to the RTU

Once the configuration has been customized in Easergy Builder, the next step is
to provide this configuration to the Easergy T300 RTU.
This can be done by one of the following procedures:
• Uploading the configuration to the T300 RTU
• Saving the configuration as *.tar.gz file, for a later upload to the unit.
Once connected to it, the configuration is ready to be transferred, follow one of the
procedure described below.

Uploading the Configuration to the RTU

There are two possibilities for uploading the configuration to the T300 RTU
• From the Workspace: the upload can be complete or partial depending on
the options checked in the list. The user chooses what to include in the setup.
• Uploading from the RTU configuration interface: only the RTU
configuration is uploaded in this mode. Use this mode if you want to duplicate
the same configuration on multiple RTU units without overwriting system
parameters (ppp settings, Network, modems, etc.). In this case, the RTU
configuration includes HU250, SC150/SC160 and LV150 modules settings.

Uploading from the Workspace

In this mode, the user can choose the configuration part to upload to the T300
RTU (options can be selected):
• Network: Network parameters (LAN, WAN, WI-FI)
• Modems: Modem paramters (2G, 3G dial-up settings)
• ppp: PPP parameters (IP addresses)
• Environment variables: ports parameters HTTPS, SSH, etc.
• Configuration RTU: selected RTU project configuration (all the device
settings).
1. If this has not already been done, initialize the connection to the Easergy
T300 RTU via Wi-Fi or Ethernet access . Refer to Local access via Ethernet.
2. From the WorkSpace, click the Completely configure RTU button.

NT00383–08 61
Substation Controller How to Send a Configuration to the RTU

3. Select the options depending on the WorkSpace parameters you want to

upload to the T300 RTU. If the Configuration field stays empty, the RTU
configuration will not be uploaded.

4. Validate the choice and follow the instructions in the Connection and transfer
to the unit, page 62 section.

Uploading from the RTU Configuration Interface

In this mode, only the RTU configuration is uploaded to the T300 RTU. Other
settings (Network, Modems, PPP, Environment variables) are not uploaded.
1. If this has not already been done, initialize the connection to the T300 RTU
via Wi-Fi or Ethernet access. Refer to Local access via Ethernet.
2. From the RTU configuration interface, click the Send Configuration to RTU
button.

3. Follow the instructions in the Connection and transfer to the unit, page 62
section.
NOTE: The Send configuration to RTU button is also available in the quick
access toolbar of the Workspace after selecting an RTU configuration.

Connection and Transfer to the Unit

The Connection window appears,

The configuration is then uploaded into the unit.

2. A window appears stating that the configuration has been taken into account
by the unit.

Once the RTU has restarted, in less than one minute, the status of the HU250
operating LED should be green. If this is not the case, refer to Checking issues,
page 65.

Saving the Configuration in tar.gz File

The *.tar.gz saved file can be subsequently loaded into a T300 via the Web
server (without requiring Easergy Builder) or be imported back into Easergy
Builder for possible changes to the RTU configuration.
The *.tar.gz file is compatible with all tools available for the setup / backup /
download.
The tar.gz backup is performed without connection to the equipment.

Checking Issues Substation Controller

Checking Issues
After the configuration has been loaded to the unit and after the RTU has
restarted, check that the status LED on the front panel of the HU250 is green. If a
potential issue occurs, the LED displays a different color:
• Orange: internal communication potential issue (for example, with SC150/
SC160 or LV150 module).
• Red: potential configuration issue, potential RTU issue or one of the SC150/
SC160 or LV150 in potential issue.
In the event of a potential issue, there are different ways to identify it. Consult the
following pages of the T300 Web server:
• Monitoring & Control/System page: after being logged into the Web Server,
select the System menu (in the menu bar). The Monitoring System page
helps you to find the element in potential issue. It can be a potential
configuration issue or a potential issue on the T300. The description of the
issue is indicated. If it is a potential configuration issue, the root cause is also
indicated in the Diagnostic / System page. In this case, consult the System
log (see below).

• Diagnostic/System/HU01 view: after being logged to the Web Server, select

the Diagnostic and display the System/Log HU01 page making possible to
identify the potential issue.
