THE TMN2003RTU TELESUPERVISION REMOTE UNIT IS MULTI-PROTOCOL, BESIDES BEING THE MOST COMPACT IN THE MARKET

The TMN Remote Unit has been designed with the premises of flexible data transporting, through IP networks or private data links, emulating the principal protocols of the market, mainly those of the legacy systems, creating an option of a soft migration to a forefront technology, without the discontinuity of the present operation. The reduced dimensions of the equipment allows its easy installation in containers or stations where there is not enough physical space. In addition, this equipment can amplify networks or replace former remote units either by using the same pre-existing protocols and transmission means or creating new networks based on TMN and TCP/IP protocols. The latter situation allows that all new functionalities may be explored.

BRIEF TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

• 8/16/32/64 digital inputs (electronic ground or non-potential contact)

• 4/8/16 digital outputs of the non-potential contact kind

• Analog input for AC energy phases

• Analog input for DC Voltage (48V)

• Analog input for DC Current (0-2000A)

• Analog input for Temperature (-10 to +60°C)

• User interface on local display (digital inputs & outputs, analog inputs)

• Physical access control to stations (via functional identification card - badge)

• Field test instrument by using a second remote unit

• Power requirements: 24 to 48 VDC

THE ANALOG INPUT TRANSDUCERS USE RS-485 PROTOCOL IN SUB-NETWORK

The analog input transducers (Vac, Vdc and Idc) are intelligent and galvanic isolated. They form a RS-485 bus topology sub-network managed by the principal CPU of the remote unit. This sub-network supports up to 32 I/O devices that can be 1200 meters distant from the principal CPU, avoiding the inconvenient AC energy cabling through the transmission office. All the transducers used in a station are packed in a wall housing and preferably must be installed in the energy office without the necessity of racks or any other kind of structure.

TEMPERATURE TRANSDUCERS

The temperature transducers are as intelligent as the other I/O devices connected to RS-485 sub-net, which transmit all data gathered from the temperature digital sensors. The temperature transducer is powered by the same two RS-485 data wires.

ACCESS CONTROL VIA IDENTIFICATION CARD INTEGRATED TO REMOTE UNIT

The identification card reader controls the opening of the office doors, identifying the time and date of access of the employees or third parties, providing control and security. This device stores up to 9000 card identification numbers and only allows access on a date and at the time authorized, which are individually programmed for each user. The system also works in an autonomous way in case of temporary unavailability of communication link with the center. The communication link between card reader and center can be provided either by an IP network or by a private voice channel according to the availability of links of the customer.

 

GATEWAY TCP/IP 

The TCP/IP Gateway interfaces TMN or third parties Remote Units with an IP network. It implements the TCP/IP protocols stack by using RISC micro-controllers, which reduce the costs and physical dimensions of the product significantly in relation to traditional PC architectures. The IP connection is provided by an Ethernet 10baseT interface that supports traffic based on UDP, HTTP and SMTP protocols. Connections with Remote Units are provided by digital channels in compliance with G.703, V.11, RS-485, RS-232C and RS-422 standards or by a built-in V.23 modem.

 

COMMUNICATION LINKS AND INTERFACES

• TCP/IP Network (TMN Gateway)

• Analog Lines (modem V.23)

• Digital Channels (G.703 / V.11 / RS-485 / RS-232C / RS-422)

• Analog Intelligent Hybrid

• Digital Intelligent Hybrid

HARDWARE ARCHITECTURE

The Hardware has been designed with TMN technology, easily customizable according to each customer necessity, by using high production environment for the firmware and CAD tools for designing of applications based on the last generation RISC processors.

Principal Characteristics of the Software:

TECHNOLOGY EMPLOYED

The system is based on the multi-tier concept where the data base layer is supported by an Oracle9ir data base server. The Map Server layer manages the presentation of geo-referred navigation maps, the Java and JSP intermediate layer runs in the Web Server and the customer interface is shown in HTML and Javascript in a client computer browser.

The servers of each layer are totally independent and are able to be geographically distributed and supported by IP networks.

WEB GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE (GUI)

The management system is based on a Web Graphical User Interface customized according to the reality of the customer systems, developed by using JAVA Scripts and HTML Tags to enjoy the maximum use of the browser functionality, providing content to any computer plugged to the Internet or Intranet of the company which access liberty is restricted by means of logins and passwords according to the user profiles.

FUNCTIONALITY

The system functionality supports multiple filters that can be concatenated. The system shows all the monitored variables and parameterized reports by means of on-line tendency graphs. In addition, it is able to export data to other systems such as Trouble Ticket Management Platforms.

NAVIGATION

The maps server uses vectorial technology that allows working with ZOOM and PAN functions. It also allows measuring the distance between stations easily. The registration of a new station is quite simple, only requiring the information on geographical latitude and longitude coordinates. This technology even allows the navigation over satellite images of the "raster" kind or Autocad drawings such as polygonal, plants, diagrams, etc.
