1 INTRODUCTION
The new era of intelligent Smart grids requires smarter substation automation systems which allow energy
operations to provide secure, dependable and cost effective power supply to meet increasing demands for
higher standards of power automation.
Digital technologies have brought many benefits in the strategic fields of transmission networks and
specifically substations. Digital technology at station bus level is today widely spread and has also extended
to process buses at the primary equipment level.
The DS Agile SCU C066 distributed Switchgear Control Unit brings forward the complete digital substation: It
has been designed to be placed near primary equipment such as switching devices. It manages a remote set
of extra binary input/output boards for the substation control unit and other IEC 61850-8-1-compatible IEDs,
such as protection IEDs for instance. It acquires binary values from primary devices such as switchgear and
forwards them to the substation control unit and/or IEDs over the Ethernet Process Bus. It conversely
receives from the substation control unit and/or the IEDs binary commands that it dispatches to the relevant
plant items through its binary output boards. This allows reducing the amount of copper wiring used in the
substation, thus minimising failure risks and optimising operation costs.
The information is transmitted over the Ethernet network in standard IEC 61850-8-1 GOOSE frames using
the redundant PRP protocol for enhanced security. The SCU C066 forwards the control commands it
receives to its associated switchgear via rugged output boards.

2.7 WARNINGS REGARDING THE USE OF ALSTOM PRODUCTS

Alstom products are not designed with components and testing for a level of reliability suitable for use in
connection with surgical implants or as critical components in any life support systems whose failure to
perform can reasonably be expected to cause significant injuries to a human.
In any application, including the above reliability of operation of the software products can be impaired by
adverse factors, including - but not limited - to fluctuations in electrical power supply, computer hardware
malfunctions, computer operating system, software fitness, fitness of compilers and development software
used to develop an application, installation errors, software and hardware compatibility problems,
malfunctions or failures of electronic monitoring or control devices, transient failures of electronic systems
(hardware and/or software), unanticipated uses or misuses, or errors from the user or applications designer
(adverse factors such as these are collectively termed "System failures").
C066/EN M/C6p M-13

Any application where a system failure would create a risk of harm to property or persons (including the risk
of bodily injuries and death) should not be reliant solely upon one form of electronic system due to the risk of
system failure to avoid damage, injury or death, the user or application designer must take reasonably steps
to protect against system failure, including - but not limited - to back-up or shut-down mechanisms, not
because end-user system is customised and differs from Alstom testing platforms but also a user or
application designer may use Alstom products in combination with other products. These actions cannot be
evaluated or contemplated by Alstom. Thus, the user or application designer is ultimately responsible for
verifying and validating the suitability of Alstom products whenever they are incorporated in a system or
application, even without limitation of the appropriate design, process and safety levels of such system or
application.
M-14 C066/EN M/C6p

3 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
3.1 INFORMATION BUS DESCRIPTION

The information is transmitted between the various modules of the SCU C066 using a transverse bus board
fitted to the front 48-way DIN 41612 connectors of the boards.
3.2 FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAM AND INTERFACES

The diagram below shows the most common hardware configuration and the external connections for the
various boards.
Figure 3: Communications between boards
The DCU28x board acts both as the control unit board and as a high speed PRP-compatible Ethernet switch
board using the standard IEC 61850-8-1 GOOSE format. It receives close/open or raiser/lower SPC and
DPC commands from substation controllers and IEDs such as protection devices. It then transmits the
commands to the DOU boards so that they can then action the relevant relay contacts.
The DIU boards acquire binary information from the wired switchgear or transformers which they forward on
to the DCU28x board over the internal bus. The DCU28x board converts the signal into GOOSE messages
and transmits them over the Ethernet Process Bus to IEDs and bay controllers.
C066/EN M/C6p M-15

The information is received by a DS Agile Bay Controller unit via its own GOOSE board (DPU28x).
3.2.1 SYNCHRONISATION
The SCU C066 is synchronised through its Ethernet interface using the PTP standard: IEEE 1588 v2 in OC
(Ordinary Clock) operating mode.
If the PTP synchronisation is lost, the SCU C066 continues to update its internal clock with the status "not
synchronised".
3.2.2 DATA ACQUISITION AND CHECK

The SCU C066 can manage 3 digital input boards, i.e. it can acquire up to 48 digital inputs, and 2 digital
output boards, i.e. it can control up to 20 digital outputs.
If they are configured and present on the bus, the digital input channels are acquired at a minimum
frequency rate of 2 kHz.
The SCU C066 checks the quality of each digital input and digital output. The quality can be:
 good if no error occurs during the acquisition of a DI or the status check of a DO.
 invalid if an error occurs during the acquisition of a DI or the status check of a DO.
The errors that can occur during the acquisition of a DI or the check of a DO are:
 bus access error (non-complementary signals)

 board not detected or not responding on the bus
 DO channel status error (for DOs only)
3.2.3 DATA TRANSMISSION IN GOOSE MESSAGES SENT BY THE SCU C066

(MONITOR DIRECTION)
The SCU C066 device sends all the acquired data (state, quality for each digital input and output feedback
and time-stamp for the Goose frame) in a unique GOOSE message compliant with the IEC 61850-8-1
standard.
Each state change or quality change of any Digital Input or Output causes the transmission of a GOOSE
message with its current state and quality.
The transmitted GOOSE messages are time-stamped with the UTC time of the last state/quality change
detection. The accuracy of the time-stamp is +/-0.5 ms when the SCU C066 is synchronised.
Data stored in GOOSE messages
Data is sent in the GOOSE message as IEC 61850-8-1 single or double datapoint objects depending on the
configuration of the SCU C066 device (multiple datapoints are not supported).
A single datapoint is assigned to a single DI state or DO state check.
The values of a single datapoint can be:
 RESET
 SET
A double datapoint is assigned to a double DI state or DO state check (2 consecutive DIs or DOs on a
board).
M-16 C066/EN M/C6p

The values of a double datapoint can be:
 JAMMED / MOTION
 OPEN
 CLOSE
 UNDEFINED
The quality of the DI states and DO state checks is included in the GOOSE messages sent by the SCU
C066. It can be equal to either "Good" or "Invalid".
The value of the datapoint’s quality is equal to 1 if the DI/DO quality is "Invalid". It is equal to 0 if the DI/DO
quality is "Good".
The Source attribute is equal to "Process".
Repetition of GOOSE message transmission
GOOSE messages are transmitted according to the sequence described in the figure below:
Time of transmission
T0 (T0) T1 T1 T2 T3 T0
Event
C1013ENa
T0: retransmission in stable conditions (no event for a long time).

T1: shortest retransmission time after the event.
T2, T3: retransmission times until achieving the stable conditions time
Figure 4: GOOSE transmission time
SCU C066 in test mode

The SCU C066 can be put in test mode by updating its xml configuration file.
If the test mode is configured, the SCU C066 sends the GOOSE message with the corresponding "test"
header field set to TRUE.
Conversely, when it receives a GOOSE message with the corresponding "test" header field set to set TRUE,
the SCU C066 ignores the message.
Note:
While in test mode if the SCU C066 receives a GOOSE message with the "test" header set to FALSE, it will process the
message normally.
C066/EN M/C6p M-17

3.2.4 GOOSE MESSAGES RECEIVED BY THE SCU C066 (CONTROL DIRECTION) AND
CONTROL OF DIGITAL OUTPUTS
The SCU C066 can receive up to 15 different IEC 61850-8-1-compliant GOOSE messages in addition the
mandatory BCU's GOOSE.
The SCU C066 filters the GOOSE messages it receives and takes into account the GOOSE messages from
the configured publishers.
The SCU C066 only takes into account the GOOSE messages that contain IEC 61850-8-1 single datapoints
and/or double datapoints. All the single/double datapoints contained in the incoming GOOSE are processed
as single or double output commands and assigned to the SCU C066's DO channels according its
configuration.
A single output command is assigned to a single DO channel.
The state values of a received single output command can be:
 RESET
 SET
For each new single output command, the DO channel is set to the following states:
 OFF (relay opened) if the command value is equal to RESET

 ON (relay closed) if the command value is equal to SET
Caution:
Special care should be taken to how commands are prioritised. It is
recommended to set the priority field to "OPEN" (default setting) in order to
avoid potential personal injury or damage to equipment.
If there are more than one Goose publisher with a single output command assigned to the same DO
channel, then the DO channel is set to the following states:
 ON (relay closed) if at least one command assigned to this channel was received in state ON
 OFF (relay opened) if all command assigned to this channel was received in state OFF
The SCU C066 device does not take into account an incoming GOOSE message if its header field "test" is
set to "True" (test mode).
M-18 C066/EN M/C6p

GOOSE frame format

All the data in the GOOSE frame must be placed at the root of the allData field.
Each value must be immediately followed by its quality attribute.
Regrouping values into structures is not supported.
Encoding examples:
Figure 5: Example of correct encoding
Figure 6: Example of incorrect encoding
3.2.5 REDUNDANCY
To enhance security, a back-up DS Agile SCU C066 can be added, which would take over all the functions
in case of a failure of the main SCU.

4.2.2 DIGITAL CONTROL UNIT AND ETHERNET SWITCH BOARD – DCU28X

The DCU28x board is the CPU and communications board of the SCU C066 device. It uses the IEC 62439-3
standardized Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP). PRP improves the reliability of the communications
system and offers a unique zero seconds’ recovery time in case of a link failure. This means that there will be
no communications loss if one link fails as the other link will instantaneously take over. As a result, no data is
lost if a communications failure occurs.
Figure 9: DCU28X BOARD
Note:
Although there are other connectors such as RJ45 or IRIG-B ports visible on the DCU28x board, only the two LC
optical connectors are used in the SCU C066 application.
C066/EN M/C6p M-23

LEDs
Eight LEDs are fitted as shown in the diagram below, with their meaning indicated in the table that follows it.
Only LEDs 5 to 8 are relevant to the SCU application.
They are situated at the rear of the board.
Figure 10: DCU28x LED positions
LED number Assignment Meaning

5 PRP link B status Off = no link
On = link good
6 PRP link A status Blinking = activity on the link
ON = normal
7 Software status
OFF = factory mode, or failsafe/alarm operation
ON = configuration in progress
8 Initiation status
OFF = configuration done
Switch management
The switch is SNMP managed (it integrates an SNMP server) and can be remotely accessed using an SNMP
“client”. The IP addresses are set via a telnet connection on any port. You can use the CMT; refer to the
chapter C26x/EN IN.
Ethernet cable type
Use data quality twisted pair shielded cable rated category 5 with standard RJ45 connectors.
The maximum cable length for 10/100BaseTX is 100 meters. Straight-through cable.
Variants
 DCU282 with two multi-mode optical connectors

 DCU284 with two single-mode optical connectors
Ethernet Optical Fibre
The cables are connected to the corresponding elements.
In both variants, the optical fibre connectors are LC-type small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers that
can use both single and multi mode fibre.
Fibre Optic budget calculations
Optical power is expressed in Watts. However, the common unit of power measurement is the dBm, defined
by the following equation: Power (dBm) = 10 log Power (mW) / 1 mW.
The fibre optic budget is the difference between the power emitted into the fibre and the sensitivity (minimum
amount of power required) of the receiver connected through the fibre optic cable.
Link Power Budget = Transmitter Power (dBm) - Receiver Sensitivity (dBm). The distance over which the
signals can be transmitted and successfully received is affected by the optical loss as shown in the figure
below.
M-24 C066/EN M/C6p

5.2 OPTICAL COMMUNICATIONS CONNECTIONS

WARNING ABOUT LASER RAYS:
Where fibre optic communication devices are fitted, these should not be viewed directly.
Optical power meters should be used to determine the operation or signal level of the
device.
Non–observance of this rule could possibly result in personal injury.
Signals transmitted via optical fibres are unaffected by interference. The fibres guarantee
electrical isolation between the connections.
If electrical to optical converters are used, they must have management of character idle
state capability (for when the fibre optic cable interface is "Light off").
5.3 ETHERNET-BASED COMMUNICATIONS CONNECTIONS

The Ethernet-based communication available in the SCU C066 works in full duplex mode, using fibre optic
media (LC connectors).
5.4 CONNECTION OF THE PROTECTIVE CONDUCTOR (EARTH)
5.4.1 EARTHING
The SCU C066 must be connected to the earth according to product safety standard EN60255-27:2005
clause 5.1.5 using the protective conductor (earth) terminal located on the rear panel.
Connection of the Protective conductor (earth).
The SCU C066 racks must be earthed, for safety reasons, by connection of the protective conductor (earth)
to the M4 threaded stud allocated as the protective conductor terminal (PCT), marked with the symbol
shown.
Warning:
– To maintain the safety features of the equipment
it is essential that the protective conductor
(earth) is not disturbed when connecting or disconnecting functional earth
conductors
such as cable screens, to the PCT stud.
– The protective conductor must be connected first, in such a way that it is
unlikely to be loosened or removed during installation, commissioning or
maintenance. It is recommended that this is achieved by use of an additional
locking nut.
The protective conductor (earth) must be as short as possible with low resistance and inductance. The best
electrical conductivity must be maintained at all times, particularly the contact resistance of the plated steel
stud surface. The resistance between the SCU C066 protective conductor (earth) terminal (PCT) and the
protective earth conductor must be less than 10 m at 12 V, 100 Hz.

5.4.2 CABLE FITTING

It is recommended to use cables (0.8 mm2) as following:
 Screened multi-strand cable has to be used for digital input-output signals. For cables within the
cubicle the cable screen can be connected to the earth at both ends of the cable. If the cable is taken
beyond the system cubicle the cable screen should be earthed at one end only to prevent current
flowing in the screen due any differences in ground potential.
 One or two screened and twisted pairs have to be used for lower communication signals. The screen
is connected to the earth by two cable ends.
It is recommended to group cables and fit them as near as possible to an earth plane or to an element of an
earth wire-mesh.

6 ETHERNET COMMUNICATIONS
The SCU C066 supports PRP communications and the data can be transmitted over a pair of Process Bus
PRP Ethernet networks. It uses the IEC 62439-3 standardized Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP). PRP
improves the reliability of the communications system and offers a unique zero seconds’ recovery time in
case of a link failure. This means that there will be no communications loss if one link fails as the other link
will instantaneously take over. As a result, no data is lost if a communications failure occurs.
6.1 PRP DESCRIPTION
6.1.1 NETWORK ARCHITECTURE

The Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) allows seamless communication in the face of a single network
disruption (for instance cable, driver, switch or controller failure). PRP is defined in the standard IEC 62439.
The aim of this international standard is to provide a deterministic recovery time and a protocol-independent
solution applicable to a reasonable set of real-time Ethernet as included in IEC 61784. Critical devices (DAN,
doubly attached node) have two network connections. To achieve high-availability configuration the first
interface is connected to LAN A and the second to LAN B. The topologies of LAN A and LAN B are open and
the networks could be utilizing other redundancy approaches. A DAN transmits its packets on both interfaces
and hence over both networks. In an error-free environment a second DAN receives the same packets on
both interfaces, possibly with a time delay between them. The receiving DAN will use the first of these
packets, ignoring the second. PRP networks do not need reconfiguration nor path switching. Non-critical
devices (singly attached node) may be connected to only one LAN.

The two LANs, labelled LAN A and LAN B, are identical in protocol at the MAC level, but they can differ in
performance and topology. Transmission delays may also be different. The LANs have no direct connection
among them and they are assumed to be fail-independent.
For products that connect directly to the PRP LANs, the two ports of the DANP operate in parallel. They are
attached to the same upper layers of the communication stack through a link redundancy entity (LRE) as
shown in the figure below.

PTP synchronises all clocks within a network by adjusting distributed clocks to a grandmaster clock. PTP
enables distributed clocks to be synchronised and maintained to sub-microsecond accuracy.
The grandmaster clock is the primary time source. Boundary clocks create segmented synchronisation sub-
domains. So-called ‘ordinary’ clocks can either act as time servers or as time clients.
Note:
The DCU28x board does NOT forward the PTP data to the access ports.

6.5 SNMP MANAGEMENT

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the network protocol developed to manage devices on an
IP network. SNMP is based on a model consisting of a manager, an agent, a database of management
information, managed objects and the network protocol. The manager provides the interface between the
human network manager and the management system. The agent provides the interface between the
manager and the physical device(s) being managed according to the figure below.
Figure 31: SNMP management
The manager and agent use a Management Information Base (MIB) and a relatively small set of commands
to exchange information. The MIB is organised in a tree structure with individual variables, such as point
status or description, being represented as leaves on the branches. A long numeric tag known as an Object
IDentifier (OID) is used to distinguish each variable uniquely in the MIB and in the SNMP messages. The
Manager is an MIB Browser Software. SNMP versions 1, 2, and 3 are supported.
Each SNMP element manages specific objects with each object having specific characteristics. Each
object/characteristic has a unique object identifier (OID) consisting of numbers separated by decimal points
(for example: 1.3.6.1.4.1.2682.1). The MIB associates each OID with a readable label (for example:
M-48 C066/EN M/C6p

dpsRTUAState) and various other parameters related to the object. The MIB then serves as a data dictionary
or codebook that is used to assemble and interpret SNMP messages.
For this board, the Alstom management information bases (MIB) use the following types of object identifiers
(OID):
 System
 Interface
 Remote network monitoring (RMON)
 Parallel redundancy protocol (PRP)
These are defined in the tables below.

6.5.5 SNMP CLIENT SOFTWARE

Readily available Management Information Bases (MIB) browser software enables you to perform all the
basic Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) operations, such as GET, GETNEXT, and
RESPONSE, by connecting to the switch.
6.5.6 SNMP TRAPS

A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap is a change-of-state message. The DCU28x
generates SNMP traps on coldstart, warmstart, linkup, linkdown or authentication failure. The version used
is SNMP v1 and the traps are shown in the table below:
Trap Type Name Description
0 coldstart The switch is booting
1 warmstart The switch is rebooting
2 linkdown An interface has gone down
3 linkup An interface has come up
4 authentication failure An invalid password was received in a message
6.5.7 SNMP ACCESSIBILITY

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) supports the versions 1 – 3 according to the rules below:
SNMP v1 and v2:
 Read community: Public

 Write community: Private
SNMP v3:
Level System MIB Other MIB
Observer Read, plain -
Operator Read, encrypted Read, encrypted
Administrator Read/Write, encrypted Read/Write, encrypted
An Administrator can change any user password. Other users can only change their own password.
C066/EN M/C6p M-51

6.6 TELNET PORT

A TELNET port is provided to configure and manage the board.
TELNET is a virtual terminal protocol of TCP/IP. It provides full interconnectivity between elements of a
network. The terminal is connected to the network like any other device as shown in the figure below.
Terminal
Telnet
IP address 1 Telnet
Telnet
IP address 3
IP address 2 C1045ENa
Figure 32: Telnet connection example
Note:
The IP addresses must be part of the same network as the terminal and the subnet mask must not exclude them.
With the TELNET connection, the terminal can be used to communicate with all functions of the DCU28x.
M-52 C066/EN M/C6p

7 INSTALLATION
7.1 MECHANICAL MOUNTING

If an electrical screwdriver is used, the torque limitation should be set to the smallest diameters of the
screws.
The SCU C066 can be mounted in racks or panel.
7.1.1 RACK MOUNTING

The SCU C066 may be rack-mounted using single tier rack frames (part number: FX0021 001):
These frames have been designed to have dimensions in accordance with IEC 60297 and are supplied pre-
assembled ready to use.
The two horizontal rails of the rack frame have holes drilled at approximately 26 mm intervals and SCU C066
cases are attached via their mounting flanges using M4 Taptite self-tapping screws with captive 3 mm thick
washers to ensure a good earth contact (our part number is ZB 5865250).
It is possible to install two SCU C066 devices side by side on the assembly panel.
Ensure that the SCU C066 devices are earthed, using the screw terminal on the rear of the unit.
7.1.2 PANEL MOUNTING

The SCU C066 can be flush mounted into panels using M4 Taptite self-tapping screws with captive 3 mm
thick washers to ensure a good earth contact (part number: ZB 5865250).
Alternatively tapped holes can be used if the panel has a minimum thickness of 2.5 mm.
Where several SCU C066 devices are to be mounted in a single cut-out of the panel, it is advised that they
are mechanically grouped together horizontally and/or vertically to form rigid assemblies prior to mounting
into the panel.
Note:
It is advised not to fasten the SCU C066 devices using pop rivets as this method would make them difficult do withdraw
should they need to be removed from the panel in the future for repairs.
C066/EN M/C6p M-53

7.2 WIRING INSTALLATION

Wiring should be prepared before installation. The SCU C066 is delivered with the required terminal blocks
for I/O boards and Ethernet connectors for the DCU28x board. The wire sections indicated in section 9.1 I/O
Terminal Block must be observed. Tighten the screws in a cross pattern (top left, then bottom right etc) and
take care not to exceed the torque rated for the screws.
7.2.1 GENERAL WIRING

Only two wires can be connected together on any one terminal block. The digital signals should use separate
shielded cables.
From a practical point of view the power supply of each SCU C066 should include a switch (MCB, link, or
fuse) to make it possible to disconnect it during installation and commissioning tests.
The SCU C066 description sheet describes the type of board fitted in each slot (C, D etc.). It is very
important to use it to correctly connect the terminal blocks.
The connection diagrams for the SCU C066 are given in section 5 Connection. Wires should be connected
with the terminal block unplugged. Each wired signal must be tested before plugging and fixing the terminal
blocks. The terminal blocks must be fixed to the SCU C066 case using the screws available at each end of
the terminal block.
7.2.2 POWER SUPPLY WIRING

The BIU terminal block wiring is vital as it provides the power supply. The supply voltage should be tested
and checked ensure that the power supply is within the BIU voltage range. Switch off the power supply
before plugging in the terminal block.
7.2.3 I/O BOARD WIRING

Several DIU board voltages are available for Digital Inputs. Check that the DIU voltage as stated on the
delivery form matches the nominal signal input voltage before wiring the SCU C066's terminal blocks.
DOU boards generate output signals with a defined inductive characteristics and can break inductive loads
of up to 15 W (DC voltage) (L/R = 40 ms). In order to avoid damaging a DO board connected to inductive
circuits it may be necessary to use an anti-surge diode.
7.2.4 NETWORK CONNECTION

The SCU C066 is connected to the Ethernet using fibre optic. There are specific rules governing the
installation of fibre optics: Specific care should be taken with the bend radius of the fibres, and the use of
optical shunts is inadvisable as these can deteriorate the transmission path over time.
Never look directly into the end of a fibre optic cable as there is a risk of causing serious damage to the
eyes.

8 CONFIGURATION AND SETTINGS
8.1 DCU28X BOARD (TELNET)
8.1.1 TELNET INTERFACE

Telnet is a TCP/IP protocol using a virtual terminal connection. It provides full interconnectivity between the
elements of the network. The terminal is connected to an Ethernet network and can communicate with all the
SCU C066 devices. Only the IP address of the device is necessary to open a Telnet session.
The first operation consists in creating a new session between the SCU C066 device (DCU28x board) and
the terminal, and then opening the communications port.
Terminal
Telnet
IP address 1 Telnet
Telnet
IP address 3
IP address 2 C1045ENa
Figure 33: Telnet network
Note:
The IP addresses must be part of the same network as the terminal and the subnet mask must not exclude them.
Most of the available Telnet commands are advanced configuration settings that will rarely be
used, if ever, since the default settings should fit most applications.
HOWEVER, THE PASSWORDS AND IP ADDRESSES MUST BE CHANGED.
8.1.1.1 MTU CONFIGURATION
Note:
This section only applies to Windows 7. It does not apply to older versions of Windows.
In order to connect a Telnet terminal emulator running under Windows 7 to the board, it is necessary to
adjust the size of the frames ("Maximum Transmission Unit") sent over the network. The default size is
1500. It must be changed to 1494.
M-56 C066/EN M/C6p

To do this:
 First open a Command Prompt (cmd.exe) window, running it as administrator (right-click and select
Run as administrator):
 Type the command line netsh interface ipv4 show interface and press Enter.
This displays the networks and the setting for their MTU (1500 by default).
 For each network, in this example: LowerNetwork and UpperNetwork, type the command line
netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "x" mtu=1494 store=persistant and press Enter.
(with x = name of the network, see example below)
This permanently changes the setting for the corresponding network's MTU to 1494.
 Again, type the command line netsh interface ipv4 show interface and press Enter.
This displays the networks to check that the setting for their MTU is effectively changed to 1494.
C066/EN M/C6p M-57

8.1.1.2 LOGIN
When the session is opened, you will be have a login prompt and dialogue as shown in the figure below.
You login according to the role(s) associated with your user account. Whilst the session is in progress, your
access level is indicated by either a # for Security administrator level, or a $ for non-administrator level
(Observer/System engineer roles) as shown below.
User or root
SRP login: root
Password: changeit
~ # Level password
# in root level
$ in user level
Note:
See Cyber-Security section for more information on user accounts.
8.1.1.3 PASSWORDS AND AUTHENTICATION LEVELS FOR SNMP ACCESS TO MIB DATA

Ethernet ports
You turn Ethernet switch ports on or off using the “switchPortOnOff” command. An example of turning port 4
off is given in the figure below.
~ # switchPortOnOff 4 OFF Command line
port 4 OFF Command ON or OFF
Port number 0 to 5
Answer line
There are three commands associated with controlling the PRP ports. They are outlined in the diagram
below:
PRP Core
prpPortOnOff
PRP Port A
Port B PHY
Optical transceiver
PrptransceiverADisable
Figure 34: PRP Control
The command “prpPortOnOff” turns the core port on or off. The command “prpTransceiverADisable <0/1>”
enables or disables optical transceiver A. The command “prpTransceiverBDisable <0/1>” enables or
disables optical transceiver B. If set to ‘1’the port continues to receive data but does not transmit data. If set
to ‘0’, the port is enable to transmit as well as receive.
Alarm contacts
Typing in the “forceRelay” and “unforceRelay” commands will drive the alarm contacts associated with the
status of the PRP network optical links according to the figure below:
Relay1 or Relay 2
~ # forceRelay2 1 Relay2 is ON whatever the state of optical link B
~ # forceRelay2 0 Relay2 is OFF whatever the state of optical link B
~ # unforceRelay1 Relay1 is ON if optical link A is down, OFF it the link is good

~ # unforceRelay2 Relay2 is ON if optical link A is down, OFF it the link is good

8.1.2 OPERATING MODES

The board has two operating modes: Failsafe mode and User mode.
The normal operating mode is User. The board switches to Failsafe mode:
 if the software watchdog is OFF (if there is a problem with the user mode),
 after a rebootFailSafe command,
 during a firmware upgrade operation.
Figure 35: Power up and reboot functions of the DCU28x board
8.1.3 CYBER-SECURITY
As of DS Agile version 5.1, the security measures protecting access to the DCU board configuration are
enhanced in order to meet modern cyber-security requirements.
8.1.3.1 ACCOUNT AND PROFILE MANAGEMENT

Each account is composed of a login name and a password. The login name is unique.
If an attempt is made to create a user account with an already existing login name, the creation is denied
and the message “Login name already exists” is displayed.
Each user can change his/her own login name and password. The login name and password of all the
accounts, including the default accounts, can be changed.
One of three roles, i.e. predefined sets of privileges can assigned to each user account:
Roles Privileges
This role only allows reading information.
Observer It does not allow changing any password except the user's own password.
It does not give access to any security log.
M-66 C066/EN M/C6p

Roles Privileges
This role only gives access to data useful to run the system.
In addition to Observer privileges, it also allows setting parameters on the DCU board.
System engineer
It does not allow changing any password except the user's own password.
It does not give access to any security log.
This role gives the user complete control over the board:
In addition to System engineer privileges, it allows the user to upgrade the DCU software
version, display data and change the board's operating mode.
Security administrator
It is the only role that allows the user to create user accounts, configure its own role as well as
the System engineer and Observer roles, change other users' passwords and display security
logs.
Only users with the Security administrator role can create new accounts on the DCU board and define their
role. The same applies to user account deletion.
The maximum number of user accounts is 10.

(**) Set the password for any account.
(***) Unique password to access the MIB data.
Default accounts
The board is delivered with two pre-defined accounts:
 "Root"
 "User"
Both these accounts are assigned the Security administrator role by default.
The default password for both accounts is "changeit". It is recommended to change it immediately.
The login names and passwords for these two default account can be changed and deleted as for any other
user account.
8.1.3.2 PASSWORD POLICY

The Security administrator can force users to select passwords that comply with a minimum complexity using
the setting passwdPolicy. If password policy is enabled, the passwords must comply with the following
rules:
1 Contain at least 9 characters
2 All of these 4 types of characters must be used in the password:
a Uppercase letter
b Lowercase letter
c Digit
d ASCII non-alphanumeric character (such as @,!,#,{, etc.)
Passwords that do not comply with this rule are refused, an error message is displayed.
Note:
Password policy is enabled by default.
M-68 C066/EN M/C6p

A forgotten or lost password cannot be recovered. A new password must be defined by a user with Security
administrator privileges.
8.1.3.3 AUTHENTICATION
Concurrent logins
Concurrent logins are not allowed. Only one user can be logged in at any time. A current session cannot be
overridden by another user, even one with administrator privileges.
Failed login
When authentication fails, the message "Login failed" is displayed.
Account lockout further to failed login attempts
A password locking policy is implemented:
1 After a settable number of consecutive failed login attempts (incorrect password), the account is
locked for a settable period of time. The number of failed login attempts triggering a lockout is settable
from 3 (default) to 10. The lockout period is settable from 1 hour to 24 hours (default setting: 1 hour)
for accounts with the Observer and System engineer roles. For the accounts with the Security
administrator role, the lockout duration is fixed to 5 minutes.
2 The account is unlocked when the first connection is successful after the lockout period has expired.
3 Only a user with the Security administrator privilege can unlock a locked user account before the
end of the lockout period.
Authentication timeout
Open sessions are automatically terminated after a settable inactivity (no command sent) timeout. Default
setting: 600 seconds (10 minutes) for all user accounts. Settable in steps of 60 seconds.
Only a user with the Security administrator privilege can change the setting for the authentication timeout.
This settable inactivity timeout is the same for all accounts.
Disclaimer banner text
Using the command updateBannerText a Security administrator can define a text that will be displayed
when any user logs in. Due to storage capacity limits, we recommend to use a text that does not exceed
1000 characters, including blank spaces.
Default banner text:
"Access to this system is limited to specifically users having received all training
required by applicables laws, regulations, and by policies and procedures implemented by
the legal hosting this system.
Unauthorized users may face criminal or civil liabilities and/or penalties. The use of
this system may be recorded and monitored for system operations, security policy and
intellectual property compliance related purposes and any information related to the use
of this system may further be disclosed to third parties or law enforcement officials as
necessary.
Disconnect now if you are not an authorized user or do not agree with the above terms."
Prompt: Do you agree with these terms? [Y/n].

To access the board's commands, the user only needs to press the Enter key. If the user does not wish to
accept the terms, he must type N and enter. Not typing anything is equivalent to typing Y (yes).
8.1.3.4 SESSION TIMEOUT

A timeout disconnects the current user when no commands are sent to the board for a duration settable in
steps of 60 seconds. The default timeout setting is 10 minutes (600 seconds).
C066/EN M/C6p M-69

8.1.3.5 SECURITY DATA LOG

All important activity and system operations are logged in the /mnt/config/log/SRPV2.log file that only
users with the role Security administrator can read. This file contains:
 Startup log (boot and reboot)

 Successful and failed login attempts
 User account (local) changes (password reset, change of role)
The /mnt/config/log folder and its contents are not affected by software updates and will not be deleted
when they occur.
The maximum size of the log files is 512 kB. When that size is reached, the oldest entries are deleted.
Note:
Passwords are not logged.
8.2 DATABASE CONFIGURATION

The SCU C066 is configured as part of the global substation control system using the System Configuration
Editor (DS Agile SCE). The configuration is three-fold:
 network settings
 DIU/DOU board creation
 input/output assignments
In the SCE, the SCU C066 is considered as an extension of the C26x BCU rather than as a separate device.
Therefore, all settings relevant to its configuration are integrated in the C26x BCU configuration.
8.2.1 NETWORK SETTINGS

A Process Bus object is added under the C26x. This object has settable attributes relating to several boards
as well as to the SCU C066. The SCU C066-relevant attributes are found in 3 tab-panes:
General tab-pane
Network DCU
 TCP/IP address: IP address of the SCU's DCU28x board on the Process Bus network
 subnet mask: Mask of the Process Bus subnetwork containing the SCU's DCU28x board
Network DCU redundant
Note:
This setting is only visible if Subscriber redundancy is enabled (DPU tab-pane)
 TCP/IP address: IP address of the redundant SCU's DCU28x board on the Process Bus network
 subnet mask: Mask of the Process Bus subnetwork containing the redundant SCU's DCU28x board
M-70 C066/EN M/C6p

Figure 36: Process Bus configuration – General
DPU tab-pane
The DPU tab-pane contains DPU-specific networking information:
Subscriber redundancy
 Enabled (True or False): Defines whether the SCU remote switchgear unit ("subscriber") is redunded
or not
Figure 37: Process Bus configuration – DPU
SCU tab-pane
The SCU tap-pane contains settable attributes specific to the switchgear control unit:
Publisher settings:
 App Id (hexadecimal value, 4 digits): application identifier, fixed.

 Goose Dataset (character string), fixed text
 Conf Ref: GOOSE revision number ([1, 4095], sept 1)
C066/EN M/C6p M-71

Quality of service:
 Enabled (True or False): Defines whether quality of service tagging is used, it is set to False by
default, change this setting to True if quality of service tagging is required,
 VLan ID: decimal value, set to 0 by default and the Ethernet frame is processed according to the
priority configured in the frame header, any change to this field should be done very carefully,
 Priority: user priority setting, decimal value, settable from 0 to 7 (7 being the highest priority), the
usual setting for GOOSE messages is 4 (default value).
Switch Ports (of SCU's DCU board)
 switch Port A (Off or On): defines whether optical port A is used for Ethernet communications over
the Process Bus.
 switch Port B (Off or On): defines whether optical port B is used for Ethernet communications over
the Process Bus.
 switch Port 0 (Off or On): not used.

 switch Port 1 (Off or On): defines whether RJ45 port 1 is used for Ethernet communications. Note:
this port is not accessible when the C066 case is closed as it is located at the front of the board.
 switch Port 2 (Off or On): defines whether RJ45 port 2 is used for Ethernet communications.
Figure 38: Process Bus configuration – SCU
M-72 C066/EN M/C6p

8.2.2 DIU/DOU BOARD CREATION

DIU and DOU boards are added from the contextual Objects entry window exactly as they would if they
were physically located inside the C26x, with the following limitations:
 DIU boards: 3 remote DIU boards can be configured,

 DOU boards: 2 remote DOU boards can be configured
 The only types of datapoints that can be managed are SPS, DPS, SPC and DPC.
To add a board definition, select the C26x level and add the board from the contextual Objects entry
window: Either double-click the board's name or right-click it and then select Add as shown below:
Figure 39: Adding a board to a C26x/C066
For each board fitted into the C26x the short name attribute (1) may be edited so as to ensure correct
logging and alarm discrimination of the board status datapoint.
The board number attribute (2) must be set. It must start at 0, be unique and contiguous.
Figure 40: General attributes common to all boards
Configuration rules and checks
 For each type, the board number attribute values must start at 0, be unique and contiguous in the
C26x configuration.
The boards' board location attribute must then be set to Remote board, to indicate that they are not
physically present in the C26x. This will insure that any signal sent or received via GOOSE messages are
appropriately converted into information manageable by the C26x.
C066/EN M/C6p M-73

In the SCU C066, the board configuration is factory-set and fixed, and the board numbers are assigned as
follows:
 DIU: 0 (slot D), 1 (slot E), 2 (slot F)

 DOU: 0 (slot H), 1 (slot G)
These numbers follow the order of the boards set in the C26x configuration, i.e. if for instance the virtual DIU
boards (those set to Remote board) are numbered 5, 6, 7 and 8, then virtual DIU board 5 = physical SCU
DIU board 0, virtual DIU board 6 = physical SCU DIU board 1, virtual DIU board 7 = physical SCU DIU board
2, virtual DIU board 8 = physical SCU DIU board 3. The same would apply to DOU boards. This correlation is
computed automatically.
Note:
Global board numbering should start with the boards "physically present" in the BCU, and should continue without gap
with the "remote" boards: If, for instance, there are 4 DIU boards fitted in the C26x, they should be numbered 0 to 3
and the numbering for remote boards should start at 4.
8.2.3 INPUT/OUTPUT ASSIGNMENTS

Inputs and outputs are automatically assigned to the signals represented by the datapoints wired on the
same input/output channels of their corresponding virtual boards in the C26x.
8.2.4 SCU GOOSE SUBSCRIPTIONS

In addition to the C26x, the SCU can subscribe to datapoints included in up to 15 published GOOSEs; from
protection IEDs for instance.
GOOSE subscriptions to IED GOOSEs are added from the contextual Objects entry window at the Process
Bus level.
M-74 C066/EN M/C6p

Figure 41: Process Bus configuration – Adding a GOOSE subscription to the SCU
Subscription attributes
In addition to the C26x's GOOSE messages, the SCU unit can subscribe to datapoints included in up to
15 published GOOSEs, represented in the Objects view as "Subscription" branches. Each subscription has
the following settable attributes:
 short name and long name;

 GoCBRef: GOOSE control block reference (character string), its maximum length is 65 characters;
 Goose Dataset: DataSet Reference (character string), its maximum length is 65 characters;
 Conf Rev (1 to 4095, step 1): Configuration Revision Parameter, i.e. version number of the dataset of
the GOOSE control block. The IED must have a matching setting.
 App Id (hexadecimal value, 4 digits): application identification.
Figure 42: Process Bus configuration – SCU subscription settings
GOOSE datapoint definition

The SCU can subscribe to up to 20 datapoints in each published GOOSE, each one linked to any one of the
10 output channels of either of the SCU's 2 DOU boards. Each datapoint has the following settable
attributes:
 short name and long name;

 DO Mapping Remote @ (0 or 1): DOU board on the SCU device (0 = board in slot H, 1 = board in
slot G);
 DO channel (1 to 10): Digital output channel linked to the GOOSE datapoint
C066/EN M/C6p M-75

Note:
Output channels can be assigned to GOOSE datapoints from several publishing IEDs. Should contradictory
commands be simultaneously received, the "Close" commands will have priority over the "Open" commands.
Figure 43: Process Bus configuration – SCU GOOSE datapoint DO settings
8.3 SETTINGS UPLOAD
8.3.1 UPLOAD SETTINGS USING THE CMT PROCESS BUS TOOL

When the configuration database is "checked-in", several configuration and setting files are generated.
Among those files, there is an xml file containing the settings for the SCU C066.
This setting file is uploaded into the SCU C066 using the PC-based "CMT Process Bus Tool". (Its installation
and operation are described in the DS Agile C26x manual (C26x/EN IN Installation chapter).
The SCU C066 is necessarily connected to the same Ethernet network as the controller's Process Bus
GOOSE board (DPU28x in the case of a DS Agile C26x). Therefore, if it is used in conjunction with a
DS Agile C26x, its xml setting file ought to be uploaded as part of the global DPU/DCU upload as described
in the Installation chapter of the DS Agile C26x user manual.
8.3.2 UPLOAD SETTINGS USING THE TELNET INTERFACE

If the SCU C066 is integrated into a third-party system, the xml setting file can be customised separately (for
instance using a text editor) and uploaded through the Telnet interface either using a console or the CMT
Process Bus Tool. Please contact Alstom for further details.

10 COMMISSIONING
10.1 DEFINITION
The objective of commissioning is to prove that the device, and any interconnections to process and other
system components, is suitable for its intended purpose.
Commissioning is the activity that demonstrates that the equipment is acceptable for service. As digital
devices are configured for specific application, the commissioning can be split into two main parts:
 Commissioning the product.

 Commissioning the application (when product has had its database loaded). This second part is
documented and carried out through FAT (Factory Acceptance Tests) and SAT (Site Acceptance
Tests) activities.
The scope of this section to describe the commissioning tests that will demonstrate that the SCU C066 is
suitable for further application tests.
10.2 COMMISSIONING THE PRODUCT

Commissioning the product starts with product reception and is continued through all off the installation
procedures. Activities are divided between: -
 Visual inspection at reception.

 Inspection at Front Panel when the SCU C066 is powered up.
 The starting point is the delivery form that describes all of the delivered hardware components that
constitute the SCU C066.
10.3 RESPONSIBILITY
Most commissioning activities involve a power supply that can damage the installation or cause injury to the
operator. Section 2 Safety Information should be read carefully before any handling.
Before starting commissioning, the contractual and human responsibilities should be clearly defined. Only
qualified and skilled personnel should carry out commissioning and acceptance tests.
10.4 SETTINGS
See Configuration and Settings section.
10.5 COMMISSIONING TESTS

After the SCU C066 has been installed and connected, the commissioning procedure can begin.
Before turning on the power supply voltage, the following items must be checked:
 Is the device connected to the protective ground at the specified location?

 Does the rated (and measured) voltage of the battery agree with the rated auxiliary voltage of the
device?
After the wiring work is completed, make sure the system is properly isolated. Once all checks have been
performed, the power supply voltage may be turned on.
After the voltage has been applied, the SCU C066 starts up. During start-up, various tests are carried out;
the results are indicated by the state of the front panel LEDs. After approximately 45 s, the SCU C066 is
ready for operation. Normal operation conditions are indicated by the fourth LED which must be continuously
lit green.
C066/EN M/C6p M-79

11 MAINTENANCE
11.1 MAINTENANCE PERIOD

It is recommended that Alstom products receive periodic monitoring after their installation. Deterioration may
occur over time. Because of the electrical and disturbed environment, it is recommended to confirm at
regular intervals that the SCU C066 is operating correctly.
The SCU C066 has been designed for a life cycle of over 15 years.
The SCU C066 is self-supervising and therefore requires little maintenance. Most problems will lead to an
alarm so fast and appropriate action can be taken. However, carry out periodic tests to ensure that the SCU
C066 is operating correctly and that the external wiring is in good condition.
If a Preventative Maintenance Policy exists within the customer’s organisation then the recommended
product checks should be included in the regular programme. Maintenance periods will depend on many
factors, such as:
 the operating environment

 the accessibility of the site
 the amount of available manpower
 the importance of the installation in the power system
 the consequences of failure
11.2 METHOD OF REPAIR

If the SCU C066 should develop a fault whilst in service, depending on the nature of the fault, the watchdog
contacts will change state and an alarm condition will be flagged. Due to the extensive use of surface-mount
components (SMC) faulty boards should be replaced, as it is not possible to perform repairs on damaged
circuits with SMC technology. Thus either the complete SCU C066 or just the faulty board, identified by the
built-in diagnostic software, can be replaced.
The preferred method is to replace the complete SCU C066 as it ensures that the internal circuitry is
protected against electrostatic discharge and physical damage at all times and overcomes the risk of
incoherency with the new boards. In some cases, it may be difficult to remove an installed SCU C066 due to
limited access in the back of the cubicle and rigidity of the scheme wiring then only the faulty elements will
be replaced.
Replacing boards can reduce transport costs but requires clean, dry on site conditions and higher skills from
the person performing the repair. If an unauthorized service centre performs the repair, the warranty will be
invalidated.
Caution:
Before carrying out any work on the device, the user should be familiar with
the contents of the safety and technical data chapters (Alstom Safety Guide:
SFTY/4L M) and the ratings on the equipment's rating label.
This should avoid incorrect handling of the electronic components and
damage.
M-80 C066/EN M/C6p

11.2.1 REPLACING THE COMPLETE SCU C066

The case and rear terminal blocks have been designed to facilitate removal of the complete SCU C066.
Before working at the rear of the SCU C066, isolate all inputs and outputs connected to the SCU C066.
11.2.1.1 REPLACING THE COMPLETE SCU C066

Before any disconnection, check the labels correctly define the connectors and match with the wishing
description you have. Otherwise, note the current wiring in order to prepare the new SCU C066 installation.
 Disconnect the power supply connector

 Disconnect the SCU C066 fibre optic connected to the DCU28x board.
 Disconnect the input/output connectors
 Disconnect the earth connection
There is one type of terminal block used on the SCU C066:
Connector
fixation screw
Connector
fixation screw
24
C0112ENa
Figure 46: Location of securing screws for terminal blocks
Note:
The use of a magnetic bladed screwdriver is recommended to minimise the risk of the screws being left in the terminal
block or lost. A 3 mm flat head screwdriver is recommended for fixation screws.
Without exerting excessive force or damaging the scheme wiring, pull the terminal blocks away from their
internal connectors.
Remove the screws used to fasten the SCU C066 to the panel, rack, etc. These are the screws with the
larger diameter cross heads that are accessible when the access covers are fitted and open.
C066/EN M/C6p M-81

Warning:
If the top and bottom access covers have been removed, do not remove the
screws with the smaller diameter heads that are accessible. These screws
hold the front panel on the SCU C066.
Carefully withdraw the SCU C066 from the panel or rack.
11.2.1.2 INSTALLATION OF NEW SCU C066

To replace the repaired or new SCU C066, follow the above instructions in reverse order. Ensure that each
terminal block is relocated in the correct position and that the case is correctly earthed and that fibre optics
are reconnected.
After installation, the SCU C066 should be commissioned again using the instructions given in the
Installation and Commissioning section.
11.2.2 REPLACING A BOARD

To replace any of the SCU C066’s boards it is necessary to remove the front panel.
Before removing the front panel the auxiliary supply must be switched off.
Open the top and bottom access covers.
By applying outward pressure to the middle of the access covers, they can be bowed sufficiently so as to
disengage the hinge lug allowing the access cover to be removed. The screws that fasten the front panel to
the case are now accessible.
The case has four cross head screws fastening the front panel to the case, one in each corner, in recessed
holes.
Warning:
Do not remove the screws with the larger diameter heads that are accessible
when the access covers are fitted and open. These screws hold the SCU
C066 to its mounting panel or cubicle.
When the screws have been removed, the complete front panel can be pulled forward and separated from
the metal case.
Warning:
Caution should be observed at this stage because a cable connects the front
panel to the rest of the SCU C066's circuitry.
Additionally, from here on, the internal circuitry of the SCU C066 is exposed and not protected against
electrostatic discharges, dust ingress, etc. Therefore ESD precautions and clean working conditions should
be maintained at all times.
M-82 C066/EN M/C6p

Figure 47: Exploded view
The boards within the SCU C066 are now accessible. Figures above show the board locations for the SCU
C066.
Looking to the front of the SCU C066 with the front panel off, you can have access to a printed circuit that
connects all the boards together: This is the backplane board.
To remove a board you need to:
 Pull the backplane out by holding it by its extremities.

 Remove the screws and the maintain the bar at the bottom of the case.
Note:
To ensure compatibility, always replace a faulty board with one with an identical part number and set its jumpers in
identical positions.
11.2.2.1 REPLACEMENT OF THE BINARY INPUT UNIT (BIU241)

The BIU241 is the power supply board located in slot A of the SCU C066.
Pull the power supply module forward, away from the rear terminal blocks and out of the case. A reasonable
amount of force will be required to achieve this due to the friction between the contacts of the two medium
duty terminal blocks. It is then recommended to use the special tool for extracting board (internal reference is
2070860).
Do not forget to set the jumpers on the new board in the same position as the previous one.
11.2.2.2 REPLACEMENT OF THE DIGITAL CONTROL UNIT BOARD (DCU28X)

The Digital Control Unit board is located in slot C.
C066/EN M/C6p M-83

Do not forget to disconnect the rear optical fibres before replacing the board and to reconnect them
afterwards.
11.2.2.3 REPLACEMENT OF THE I/O BOARDS (DIU200, DIU211, DOU200, DOU201)

The I/O boards can be located in any slot from D to H.
If applicable, do not forget to set the jumpers on the new board in the same position as the previous one.
Caution:
A skewed AOU200 board could lead a capacitor (C27) to touch a steel corner.
Boards must therefore be handled carefully.
11.2.2.4 RE-ASSEMBLE THE SCU C066

Before re-assembling the module with a replacement board, make sure that the address for the replacement
board is the same address that the board replaced by checking the jumpers on the boards.
Insert the FBP board back into the rack.
Screw the bar in the bottom of the case.
Replace the front panel. After refitting and closing the access covers, press at the location of the hinge-
assistance T-pieces so that they click back into the front panel moulding.
11.3 CLEANING
Before cleaning the SCU C066 ensure that all AC/DC supplies are isolated to prevent any risk of electric
shock whilst cleaning.
Front panel cleaning: use a smooth cloth. Do not use abrasive material or detergent chemicals.
11.4 FIRMWARE UPGRADE

The firmware of the DCU28x board can be upgraded using the Telnet link.
Upgrading the firmware may sometimes be necessary in order to take advantage of new features or bug
fixes. This operation requires that the files of the application firmware, along with a correctly configured FTP
server, be available on a computer with a network connection to the device to be upgraded.
 Identify the IP address of the host providing the FTP server capability.
 Ensure that the firmware revision to be downloaded is present on the host.
 Establish a console connection to the DCU28x board to be upgraded (Telnet). The terminal and the
FTP server can be installed on the same PC.
 First launch a "rebootFailsafe" command then enter the command “update <IP server address>".

To upgrade the firmware the board has to be in failsafe mode. You do this by sending the “rebootFailSafe”
command.
You then enter the command “update <IP server address>”. An example is shown in the figure below.
The new firmware files are stored in non-volatile memory during the transfer.
If file transfer is successful, the board automatically stores the files permanently and then reboots to the new
version.
In case of a download failure, it reboots to failsafe mode.

A03 110 - 125 VDC 88 to 150 VDC -
A04 220 VDC and 230 VDC 176 to 264 VDC 176 VAC to 264 VAC
The nominal frequency (fn) for the AC auxiliary voltage is dual rated at 50/60 Hz, the operating range is
45 Hz to 66 Hz.
The BIU241 board has the following characteristics:
 Inrush current: 6.2 A at 125 VDC during the first 50 ms at start-up

 Power supply: 40 W
 Nominal output voltage: + 5 V and + 12 V
 Permitted power outage: 50 ms
 Protection against polarity reversal
 Insulation resistance: >100 M (common mode) at 500 VDC
 Dielectric strength: 2 kV (common mode) – 50 Hz for 1 minute
12.2.2 BIU241 DIGITAL OUTPUTS

On the BIU241 board, the characteristics of the Watchdog Relay Contacts are the same as the
characteristics for the NO+NC contacts fitted on the DOU200 and DOU201 boards.
On the BIU241 board, the characteristics of the two output relays used for C26x redundancy are the same as
for the single-pole output-relay fitted on the DOU200 and DOU201 boards.

12.2.3.2 DIU211 DIGITAL INPUTS

In the SCU C066 case, the DIU211 board can replace a DIU200 board. The external connections are the
same as for that board.
The DIU211 board includes 16 opto-isolated digital inputs, with one common for two inputs.
The inputs are suitable for use on systems with nominal battery voltages from 24 VDC to 220 VDC (+/- 20%).
The input responds to negative input voltages. The inputs are not self-checked. The threshold voltage
depends on the voltage range which is set by positioning a jumper on the board (see Hardware section):
Triggering threshold Trigger Current at rated
Variant Input voltage Rated power
Pick-up Drop-off current voltage
A01 24 VDC 10 VDC 8 VDC 30 mA for 2 ms 3.2 mA 0.077 W
A02 48 VDC – 60 VDC 17.4 VDC 12.5 VDC 30 mA for 2 ms 2.9 mA at 48 V 0.14 W
A03 110 VDC – 125 VDC 50 VDC 29.9 VDC 30 mA for 2 ms 2.4 mA at 110 V 0.26 W

80% threshold
220 VDC with 80%
A08 176 VDC 132 VDC 30 mA for 2 ms 1.9 mA 0.42 W
threshold
For an input voltage from the threshold value to 18 V, the input current is 30 mA. The voltage applied to the
input terminals, with an amplitude between 19 VDC and 264 VDC powers the pulse generation circuit.
The circuit drives a current pulse with an amplitude of 30 mA. The pulse duration is between 1 ms and 2 ms.
To reduce thermal dissipation, especially at high input voltages, the inputs draw a current of less than
1.6 mA.
A high current circulation inside binary contacts during a short period cleans them and thus allows the
boards to be used in contaminated environments.
