Protocols and Communication Architecture

Channels
PB125579

The ports used to communicate are configured as communication channels.

A channel can support one or more protocols according to the compatibilities with
the physical layers.

The possible channel types are:

• Serial (RS232/RS485)
• TCP (Called, Calling or Both) or UDP
For TCP and UDP channels, a remote IP list can be created to limit access to
identified peers.

Channel Association - Links

TCP channel configuration from Easergy Builder Some control centers or IEDs support double channels. The functionality can be
different for each protocol. The links are associations of two channels and they are
used to identify a double channel. Two modes of channels switching are possible:

• AutoSwitch: used with secondary protocols. When the active channel stops
PB125580

receiving, it switches to the other channel, which becomes active.

• SwitchByMaster: used with the primary protocol, the HU280 controls the channel
switching. A periodic switching between channels can be defined to verify
channel state TIME_FORCE_SWITCH.

Time Synchro and Sequence of Events

Time Synchronization
PB125583

Proper timestamping of events and alarms requires that correct time information is
provided to the PowerLogic™ T500. The PowerLogic™ T500 time synchronization
is managed by PowerLogic™ HU280. Time synchronization can be achieved in
numerous ways, depending on the overall system architecture and the required
precision.

• Protocol: Most data-transmission protocols allow secondary devices to

synchronize from a control. The time accuracy depends on the implementation
and the communication media.
• SNTP or NTP: Ethernet communication networks provide SNTP clocks to
synchronize devices. PowerLogic™ HU280 can manage a list of SNTP servers:
The time accuracy depends on network topology.
• PTP (IEEE 1588): High-accuracy clock synchronization for substation ethernet
PowerLogic™ T500 can accommodate several kinds
of clock synchronization and manages: networks.

Sequences Of Events (SOE)

The Sequence Of Events (SOE) records all data changes in log files. Each
PowerLogic™ T500 has its own SOE management. The recording mode for each
variable can be configured from the HU280 via Easergy Builder.
• Up to 4 log files can be configured
– These logs can be defined from Easergy Builder
– The names of these logs are configurable
SOE configuration
– Any data from the database can be assigned to a log file
• The logs files may be downloaded locally from the web server
• SOE time accuracy
PB125585

• Time resolution: 1 ms
• Discrimination between two events: 1 ms
• Event storage capacity
– Up to 3000 events can be stored by PowerLogic™ T500
– The size of logs files is configurable

For all logs, when the storage capacity is reached, the most recent event clears the
oldest from the list.
