C264-R Overview
Main rack
The functions done by the main rack are:

manage SCADA communication
receive all information acquired on secondary rack and update the archives (SOE
waveform)
Transmission via the SCADA interface of all information acquired on secondary rack.
Manage the database downloading. Reception through the SCADA link and distribution of
the new configuration on all other racks.
Manage the control received through the active SCADA link, dispatch it on the racks.
Manage the digital input and measurement acquisition.*

Manage the control, which is directly handled by the main rack.*
Manage the IED communication, and real time data acquisition.*
*(Not available in case of main racks redundancy)
C264-R Overview
Secondary rack

Bus
I/Os
The functions done by the secondary racks are:

Send all acquired data to the main rack
Manage the control (Do) received from the master rack
Manage the digital and measurement acquisition.
Manage the IED communication and real time data acquisition
3. Communication C264
C264-R Overview
Master/Slave principle
The Master is requesting the

data from its slave(s), and can
also send orders (control) to
the slave.
The slave replies to the Master only upon

request, the Master can address him with
specific address or by broadcasting.

4. C264-R Time management
C264-R time management
Why does an RTU needs a time synchronisation ?

Use the same date/time on all C264-R devices for :
Events time tagging
Reports synchronisation
Actions synchronisation
What are C264-R time properties ?

1ms of time resolution
± 1ms of time accuracy
possibility of clock redundancy (Main rack redundancy)

Board operating modes

Each board of the C264 must :
be defined in the RTU DB (SCT)
be physically present
have a correct addressing according to its definition in the D
Board addressing - Utilisation of 4 jumpers => board @ on

4 bits
Unique rule for all kind of boards (Utilisation of 4 jumpers, board
number coded on 4 bits)
Jumper
- Missing => 1
- Present => 0
Example:
C264-R Hardware
Board operating state

Each board status is represented by a multiple point status (MPS)
Ex : Board AIU Index 0 => variable AIUSt0
This MPS status is displayed in MAIN C264 Fault panel in case of fault
4 possible states (MAIN C264 Fault panel )
Faulty = Board defined in SCT, physically present but faulty
Missing = Board defined in SCT but physically missing
Too many = Board not defined in SCT but physically present
OK = Board defined in SCT, physically present and healthy (Not
display in Fault panel !!!)

- In RS232 set the jumpers S14, S16 and between S12.1 and S12.3
- In RS485 set the jumpers S13, S15 and between S12.1 and S12.2.
Port 2 : RS232/485/422
- In RS232 set the jumpers S5, S6, S9 and S3
- In RS485 set the jumpers S7, S8, S2
- In RS422 set the jumpers S7, S8, S4 and S2.

MAIN C264 Redundancy management - BIU 241

Only one of the 2 computers is ACTIVE
The other one is the STANDBY
Two possibilities
MAIN1 is active (Master) <==> MAIN2 is standby (Backup)
MAIN1 is standby (Backup) <==> MAIN2 is active (Master)
SCADA SCADA
TBUS
MAIN1 MAIN2
RJ45 DI/AI
DO/SP
C264-R Hardware

Main criteria : SCADA connection
As soon as the active C264 detects a communication problem, it open its
DO2 contact => DO2 = 0
If the active C264 detects a communication problem (Active DO1 = 0) ,
the standby one became active after few seconds.
C264-R Hardware

Secondary criteria : Hardware failure
If the SCADA communication is working on both C264, hardware fault
criteria is taken into account (Internal Status)
Internal status = sum of hardware fault.
- Depending on the board type: DIU <AIU < AOU < DOU
Active C264 is the one with the lowest IS (immediate switch)

- Ex. : 2 AIU Faulty on MAIN2 and 1 DOU Faulty on MAIN1 => MAIN1 become
standby, MAIN2 become active (MAIN2 DO1 = 1)
C264-R Hardware

Redundancy information
DO 1 = close (=1) => the C264 is ACTIVE
DO 2 = close (=1) => the SCADA communication/Hardware are OK

Test : After Operational mode has been reach, it’s possible to put
the C264 in test on operator request => No command allowed
Faulty : Any time a major failure is detected, the C264 goes into
this mode

Step 4 : The selected DB version is display
Step 5 : Click on “Download data base” to download the selected DB
in the C264 flash memory after selecting the specif .adb file
Step 6 : Selected DB is now standby in all C264 connected to the
MAIN C264 (with proper rack address). To activate the DB, click on
“Switch data bases” and acknowledge the message
Step 7: Selected DB is becoming Current in the RTU after automatic

rebooting
7. Hardware check of the RTU
Hardware checks : Boards IEDs States
Step 1 : After connecting the PC on an available RJ45

plug , Double click on CMT.exe on the desktop (CMT
icon)
Step 2 : Click on Search computers. Select MAIN C264
Step 3: Click on “Board IEDs state”, check that every board of every
C264 appears in GREEN (switch from one to another using M1 tab /
S01 tab …)

Blue : defined in SCT but missing
Step 4: If there are other colors, select the “faulty” C264 from
“Computer’s list” and click on “Monitor”

Step 5: Identify the fault with colors and solve it by adding/removing

the board

Hardware checks
Add/Remove a C264 board
Switch off the power supply
Remove front face screws
Pull the front face
Unplug RJ11 connector between LCD and CPU
Remove the C264 bus
Unmount the board maintaining screws
Add/remove the board. If you add a board :
- Check jumper position
- Check board slot
- Check board range (DIU / BIU)
Add the C264 bus
mount the board maintaining screws
plug RJ11 connector between LCD and CPU
Add front face screws
Switch on the power supply
Step 6: Click on “Board IEDs state”, check that every board of every
C264 appears in GREEN [1st led of MAIN C264 should be OFF]
