6MB Telecontrol System

6MB552 Compact Remote Terminal Unit

Application range
The 6MB552 compact remote terminal
unit is a member of the SINAUT LSA
substation control and protection product
range. It is dimensioned for medium
volumes of process data.
For telecontrol applications with smaller
or larger volumes of process data, the
following SINAUT LSA products are avail-
able:

6MB551 station control unit for
medium to high volumes of process
data

6MB553 minicompact remote terminal
unit for low volumes of process data.
The central link to the switchyard is
parallel. A terminal block can be
interposed. Numerical protection units
and the distributed input/output units of
the 6MB system can also be connected
via fibre optic cable (see Fig. 2).

Design and operation

The 6MB5520 compact unit is supplied in Fig. 1
a 7XP20 housing. The modules are 6MB552 compact remote terminal unit
plugged into slots behind a common front
panel, to ensure good EMC characteris-
tics. The modules are connected to the Network control centre
SINAUT LSA standard bus via their upper
backplane connector.
The functions of the compact unit are
distributed over several modules. The FP
telecontrol processor module contains
the 80386 processor, the memory for the WT
program code and parameters and the
following interfaces that are serviced by

6MB552 Compact Remote Terminal Unit
Design and operation (cont’d)
Via the MD modem module the compact
unit can be connected in a simple and
compact way to the higher and lower
telecontrol levels. Additional external
data transmission equipment is not
required. The MD module uses the
optional second telecontrol interface of
the FP processor module and isolates it
to 2 kV.
The MD module can be equipped with a
receiver for the DCF77 radio time signal
receiver (Mainflingen) that ensures
precise time synchronization throughout
the system.
Input/output modules
The central link with the process makes
use of several input and output modules
each with its own microcontroller. All
input and output lines of these modules
are isolated to 2 kV.
The DE digital input module acquires up
to 32 single indications from the process
or an equivalent number of double
indications, transformer tap positions, bit
patterns or metered values. The module
itself performs some pre–processing,
such as real–time assignment with 1–ms
resolution and detection of contract
chattering. The 32 single digital inputs
consist of 4 isolated groups with 8 digital
inputs each. Each group has its own
input to which the indication voltage is
applied as a reference. Due to dynamic
adjustment to varying signal voltages, the
reference voltage input allows very
reliable indication acquisition.
Signalling–circuit voltage failure is
detected. Using optocouplers, the circuit
for indication acquisition is isolated from
the other modules to 2 kV. Malfunctions
in the input circuits (incl. optocouplers)
are detected reliably and can be
transmitted to the central processor
module.

Supply
We supply the unit from the factory in a
7XP20 housing. It contains an FP module
and the SV power supply with an
integrated line filter and fuse. Four
predefined standard module
complements can be ordered using the
order numbers given above. If you
require a different module complement,
you must order the I/O modules
separately.
MD module and FO modules are supplied
as specified in the order number.

1) 5 standard plug–in stations (SPS) are free: Not all combinations of modules are permissible (observe power loss). Clarify each case with EV S E.
2) One telecontrol interface is assigned for the field link. Only in conjunction with 2 telecontrol interfaces V.24/V.28 (RS 232 C) and MD V.21 modem (11th
position = 4). Software functionality ”field link” requires software version V9 (16th position = 5).
