The SCADA system for electrical power network is different from the SCADA system available for
instrumentation / process control for oil and gas systems and telecommunication. The following
sections outlines the basic principles of SCADA monitoring and control for Electrical System.
In general, all circuit breakers which are part of 132kV transmission system under Utility section
control, at voltage levels of 6.6kV and above, shall be operated and monitored from SCADA. All tap
positions of transformers which are part of 132kV transmission system under Utility section control,
with secondary voltage of 6.6kV and above and Gas Turbine Generators shall be operated and
monitored from SCADA.

1.4.4.2 Alarms and Indications

All plant electrical alarms and indications as per Appendix-1 of this SP shall be wired to the
SCADA system. The alarm and indication contacts shall be voltage and earth free. Each alarm or
indication shall consist of a two wire circuit from the initiating device to the SCADA marshalling
cubicle. Any common connections shall be completed at the marshalling cubicle.
Plant contacts may be either normally open or normally closed type. An open contact shall have an
impedance of greater than 10k ohm and a closed contact of less than 200 ohm, including cabling,
when measured at the marshalling cubicle.
Separate alarm contacts shall be used for the SCADA and station alarm systems and all breaker
indications for open / closed status shall be provided by using the main auxiliary contact and not the
multiplied contact.
The SCADA indication for ‘Supervisory’ selection shall be with the ‘Supervisory’ contact of the
Remote/Supervisory switch (at the control panel) in series with the ‘Remote’ position of the
Local/Remote switch (at the equipment).

1.4.4.3 Analogue Measurement

The SCADA system shall be designed to receive a current output signal from the transducers in the
range of 0-10, 0-20 or 4-20 mA for both unidirectional and bi-directional quantities except for the
transformer tap position indication. An alarm shall be raised by the SCADA system should the RTU
detect transducer outputs of less than 4 mA. The transformer tap position indicator shall have 0–10
mA output with 0.4 mA corresponding to each step.
Unidirectional analogue quantities shall be represented by current signals in the range of 4-20mA,
where 4mA corresponds to the lowest value of the analogue range and 20mA corresponds to the full
scale value.
Bi-directional quantities shall be represented by current signals in the range of 4-12-20 mA, where
4mA represents the full scale negative, 20mA represents the full scale positive and 12mA represents
the zero value.
The analogue quantities that are to be measured in SCADA are current, voltage, MW, MVAR, tap
position indication, temperature and pressure. The list of such analogue measurements that are
required for SCADA are furnished in Appendix-1 of this SP.

breakers, transformer taps etc. Both latched and momentary controls shall be accommodated, the
latter having provision for specifying the duration of the control either under software control or by
the operator for ad-hoc controls. Controls shall be carried out in three stages:
A select output shall be made to the RTU to specify which point is to be controlled.
The RTU shall check that the selection is acceptable and shall reply with the result of this check.
An “activated” output shall be sent to execute the previously selected control. Provision shall be

Specification for SCADA of Electrical System

2.1.1.3 RTU Diagnostics

The internal status of the RTU shall be monitored by the RTU itself. Diagnostic information shall be
stored in the RTU and shall be retrievable from the Master Station on specific request to enable
problem analysis from the Master Station. For a total RTU failure, the Master Station shall set the
RTU supervision to “inoperable”.
All I/O boards of the RTU shall be monitored and failures shall be reported to the Master Station.
All data input on faulty boards shall be regarded as erroneous and the status of the related points
shall be made invalid.
The Remote Communication Server (RCS) of the ABB S.P.I.D.E.R. master station will continue to
poll an inoperable RTU periodically and the status of the RTU will be reset to operable, if a number
of sequential poll messages are successful. Communication with an inoperable RTU can be blocked
from the Master Station if required, until maintenance is performed.

2.1.1.4 Status / Data Check

A Status / Data check may be addressed from a Master Station to all RTUs in the system or any
single RTU. The request acquires all measured values and indications from the addressed RTU(s)
and the database will be updated with the acquired data. The internal status of the RTU reflecting its
condition and any known errors in the RTU’s data shall be returned to the Master Station. A control
system event and associated alarm will be generated in the Master Station if an RTU returns an
invalid data.

xiv) RTU Status(In service/Not in service)

2.1.2.2 RTU Master and Station Link

The RTU for expansion of the SCADA system shall generally conform to the existing linking
between the RTUs and the RCS as described below:
The Remote Communication Server (RCS) of the Master Station is linked to the RTUs through the
Line Interface Modules(LIM) which serve as the communication boards for the RTU lines.
RTU specifics are handled by the LIM and the data processing functions are handled by an open
software platform in the RCS. The communication line is through a line split connected to two
LIMs. The two connections are for main and backup and the redundancy is treated by lines. When
communication fails with all RTUs on one line or when the LIM does not respond, the RCS initiates
a switchover between the lines.
Communication between the RCS and the RTUs is by serial communication. Each LIM contains
programs for administration and message exchange control of all RTUs. The message security

30/06/1999 Page 12 SP-1116

Specification for SCADA of Electrical System
coding is generated and checked in both hardware and software by the LIMs and the transfer of
information to the application server is inhibited if errors are detected.
The LIM has two independent channels for asynchronous communication and can handle two lines.
The transmission rate will be at 1200bps and this is adjustable. LIMs are daisy chained with a
maximum of four LIMs in each chain. Upto 8 daisy-chains for a total of 64 RTU lines can be
handled by each RCS.
RTU shall be suitable for V24 connection to the communication equipment, to facilitate a digital
connection between RTU and communications equipment in future.

2.1.2.3 RTU Communication Protocol

RP570/571 the high-level communication protocol which is based on IEC 870-5-1 is used between
the RTU and the RCS using class format FT1.2.

2.1.3 Changes Required At Master Station For Expansion of SCADA

Whenever the SCADA system is expanded by addition of RTUs or addition of field equipment both
software modifications and hardware additions may be needed.

2.1.3.1 Software Changes

The database at the Master Station shall be extended to add any new equipment like RTU or
additional field inputs / control outputs to the existing RTUs. The existing pictures need to be
amended and new RTUs require new S/L pictures.

2.1.3.2 Hardware Additions

When field inputs/outputs are added to the SCADA without addition of RTUs, additional
input/output cards shall be added to the RTU, as required. This shall be carefully examined on a
Project basis.

2.1.4 SCADA Marshalling Cubicle

2.1.4.1 General

When needed at installation/Commissioning of the RTU, any special tools & tackles, including test
programmes in PC, shall be made available by the supplier.
Each panel shall be provided with a 100mm plinth constructed from steel channel, and removable,
fully gasketed, bottom entry gland plates. Gland plates shall be un-drilled suitable for drilling at site
and sized for 30% extra cables. The panel colour shall match with the other equipment in the
station.
All panels shall be designed for and fitted with accessories, power supplies, racks, wiring trunking
etc., to cater for 30% increase in the Inputs / Outputs.

2.1.5.2 Wiring

carried out with PVC insulated, 600/1000V grade, multi stranded copper conductor.
The following minimum copper areas are required:
 For external Power Supply : 2.5 Sqmm
 For signals between the RTU and the Isolation cabinet: 0.5 Sqmm
Both ends of all wires shall be fitted with identification ferrules which shall be shown in the wiring
diagrams.
Signal wiring shall be run in PVC trunking and shall be segregated from power wiring.
Colour coding of the wires shall be as follows:
