DESCRIPTION
The PDR-2000 is a digital communications system used for the protection of electrical power generation
and distribution equipment. A protection system consists of two or more PDR-2000 terminals
communicating with each other via a digital channel (i.e., 56/64 Kbps RS449, fiber optics or 64 Kbps
G.703). The PDR-2000 can also be used over a voice grade audio channel when equipped with an
Audio Communications module. Up to eight Trip commands can be inputted to the unit and up to
sixteen Trip outputs may be provided from a terminal.
FEATURES
DESIGN: The PDR-2000 has been designed for ease of setup, use and field modification. The units
modularity allows for quick diagnostics, module replacement and addition of optional modules by the
user. Multiple communication ports, up to eight Trip inputs and up to sixteen Trip outputs make the
PDR-2000 extremely efficient.
PROGRAMMABILITY: The settings of the PDR-2000 are completely programmable both on-board
and remotely via local or remote RS-232 ports. Firmware changes can be loaded using the GUI
(Graphical User Interface) allowing software upgrades to be made easily in the field.
UNIT ID: Unit ID is a software selectable feature that requires the receive logic to confirm the Unit ID
number that is transmitted on every packet to increase security and prevent accidental tripping. The
Unit ID permits the terminal to upload the status and settings of a remote unit and retrieve data from it’s
Event Recorder. Unit ID in combination with two communication ports allows the unit to offer a feature
called Packet Forwarding.
1-1
be used for Trip commands by turning the feature On in the software settings. Other information such
as events, unit status and settings use Packet Forwarding automatically. Packet Forwarding is not
used for audio applications.
EVENT RECORDING: The PDR-2000 has a built in sequence of events recorder. This Event Recorder
time stamps all activity that takes place in the unit. Events include all Trip and Guard inputs and
outputs, status relay activation, password access, and initial power on, see Section 7, Event Recording,
for a complete list.
Up to 40,000 events are stored in nonvolatile memory before the process of overwriting the events
begins. Events may be viewed one at a time on the front panel or up to 1000 events may be downloaded
and sorted using the PDR-2000’s Windows® based GUI.
COMMUNICATIONS: The PDR-2000 is equipped with two communication ports regardless of which
type is supplied (RS-449, Fiber Optic, G.703, or Audio). Two communication ports makes the PDR-
2000 extremely flexible. They may be used independently, allowing the unit to communicate with two
units (or more with Packet Forwarding) simultaneously or they can both be used to communicate to
one unit creating a redundant path for added security.
SPEED: The PDR-2000 is a high speed communications terminal. Trip times average approximately
3 ms for digital interfaces and 14 ms for the audio interface. Due to the size of the PDR-2000
communication packets and the delays inherent to multiplexed digital communications, times vary,
see Section 2, Digital Communications, for more information on packets. For those units equipped
with optional dry contact Trip relays, add approximately 3 ms to the Trip time for 10 amp relays and
approximately 1 ms for 30 amp relays. In-service Trip times can be determined by using the Ping Test,
which is initiated on the front panel or GUI, see Section 6, System Tests, for more details.

SYSTEM SUMMARY
The following is a brief description of the standard modules that comprise a typical terminal. For
detailed descriptions, schematics and parts lists, refer to the individual module’s section in this manual,
Sections 9 through 17.
MICROPROCESSOR MODULE: This module, located behind the Display module, controls all of the
functions of the PDR-2000. The Microprocessor module (uP module) monitors and controls all Trip
inputs and outputs and system status. All event recording, communications and programming are
also controlled by the uP module. The Display module is directly connected to the uP module. A
proprietary soft-core processor residing in an Altera FPGA and FLASH memory are the main components
that run the module. A real time clock with battery backup is also on this module. The PDR-2000
requires one uP module, but an optional second module can be installed for redundancy.
DISPLAY MODULE: The Display module is made up of a 4 X 20 character Vacuum Florescent Display
(VFD) and a fourteen key keypad. The keypad has four function keys and ten alphanumeric keys. The
VFD is used to display Channel status, time and in conjunction with the keypad can be used to
program the unit, perform tests and view events. The VFD and keypad are connected directly to the uP
module via ribbon cables. This module is hinged on the left and swings out of the way to access the uP
module(s) and the Communications module.
COMMUNICATIONS MODULE: Located behind the Display module and to the right of the uP module(s),
this card converts the communications coming from the uP module to the format used in the system,
i.e. RS-422, G.703, fiber optic or audio. The COM module (Communications module) differs depending
on the type of communications supplied with the unit.
RS-232 MODULE (Data module): The RS-232 module contains two main circuits. The first contains
the RS-232 circuits for the front (DCE) and rear (DTE) RS-232 communication ports and electrically
isolates them from the uP module. The second contains the IRIG-B circuitry that coverts the GPS
clock input for the uP module. This module may be replaced for optional protocols.
DC/DC MODULE: The standard redundant DC module converts, handles, and monitors the power in
the PDR-2000. External power coming into the unit is fused and passed into the DC convertors
located on the board and is fused again coming out of the DC convertors. Power is then distributed
throughout the rest of the unit. The power is also monitored and is clamped if it goes high and then
reset. The module is capable of handling up to two DC inputs that can be the same or different
voltages. The DC module has two status relays whose contacts close in case of power failure.
STATUS RELAY MODULE: This module contains eight form A/B relays and LED indicators on the
front panel. Conditions that will result in an alarm include: a uP module failure, loss of communications,
master alarm, unit identification disabled, or communication block. Two outputs may also be programmed
to indicate one of seven events, Trip In, Trip Out, invalid Unit ID received, loss of communication of
indirectly connected units, bit errors on either Com port, or a Ping test failure that can indicate excessive
propagation delay.
TRIP IN MODULE: Up to eight trips can be input into the PDR-2000, these are handled by the Trip In
module. This module contains optical isolators and communicates detected trips with the uP module.
TRIP OUT MODULE: The Trip Out module has eight optically isolated solid state Trip output circuits.
Trip outputs can be programmed by the uP module. The Trip Out module can also be used to drive up
to 8 optional dry contact relays. A redundant Trip Out module is available that increases the total Trip
out circuits to sixteen.

VERSIONS
HARDWARE: The PDR-2000 may be configured with different hardware arrangements. Items that
differ are battery voltages, the number and type of Trip out circuits, redundant circuits and modules,
and methods of communication. The part numbering system for the PDR-2000 is explained in
Table 1-1. The part number covers all standard configurations. Any option module not listed is assigned
a number that is placed in the last field (Special).

Any revision made to an individual module changes the dash number of the modules “CC” part number.
EXAMPLE: The Trip Out module’s part number is CC2245-00. If a change were made to the module
it would be assigned the number CC2245-01.
Changes to a CC number are made only when modifications have been made to the hardware of the
module. Typically, a new dash number will replace the old version and when ordering a PDR-2000
dash numbers do not need to be specified.
SOFTWARE: There are two types of software that relate to the PDR-2000. The GUI is run on a PC and
does not directly affect the operational parameters. The GUI is used to change settings, review the
status of a unit, view events, and download firmware. Firmware is the software that performs all the
functionality of uP module and resides in the microprocessor module. Both types of software are
independent of each other and maintain their own version numbers.
1-5
The GUI version number is PDR2000 GUI 1.1. The number at the end (1.1) is the version number. The
version number is part of the name of the GUI that is located on the Desktop or in the INIVEN folder as
part of the Start menu. The date the software was created may be found on the lower right hand side
of the System Configuration Screen.
The Firmware version number is found one of two ways. Using the Keypad and Display and going to
the Diagnostics menu or by using the Get Settings feature in the GUI. See Section 3, On-Board
Programming and Section 4, Remote Programming for more details on using the Keypad and Display,
and the GUI. A sample Firmware version number is: PTG-0025 10/10/03. The date at the end of the
number is when the version was created and can be used along with the prefix to keep track of revisions.
The features of the GUI and Firmware described in this manual are written for the version numbers
indicated on the first page of this manual.
1-6
Section 2 DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS
The PDR-2000 uses two types of digital communications. The first is the main unit to unit
communications that passes through the Com ports on the back of the chassis. The Com ports may
be 64 Kbps RS-422 (using a RS-449 connector), point to point fiber optic, short haul fiber optic (ANSI
C37.94), or G.703. The type of unit to unit communications is determined by the type of Com module
installed. The second type of communications is the asynchronous communications from the two 9
pin RS-232 ports located on the front and rear panels. If a protocol other then RS-232 is supplied with
the unit, its function is described in Section 17, Option Modules.
COMMUNICATION PORTS
The unit to unit communications involves three modules; the microprocessor module (uP module), the
communications module (Com module), and the communication port module (Com port module).
The Com port module is a physical interface that allows for different types of connectors to be used
with the PDR-2000. Two screws attach this module to the rear of the chassis. It mates to a connector
located on the Interface board, see Section 16, Chassis for more information. The Com Port module
comes with two complete interfaces of whichever type is supplied with the unit. For fiber optic interfaces
this includes two transmit and two receive heads. This allows the PDR-2000 to communicate over
two different paths to two units simultaneously. The two Com ports transmit the same packets but
receive independently. Programming the receive logic allows a unit to discriminate which Trip commands
to respond to (see Section 5, Installation or Section 4, Remote Programming for more details on
setting receive logic and programming Com ports).
The available connectors are: RS-449 D-sub, single mode fiber (1550 and 1300 nm), multimode fiber
(1300 and 850 nm), G.703 D-sub, and voice grade audio terminal blocks. The Com port module is field
changeable, but requires the matching Com module to handle the different types of digital communication
protocols. Electrical connectors are isolated to at least 5000 V.
COM MODULE
The Com module is located in the third slot from the left behind the keypad and display. This module
takes the digital communications packet from the uP module and converts it to the appropriate protocol
for the type of communications being used: 64 Kbps (RS-449), point to point fiber optic, short haul fiber
optic (C37.94), G.703, or Audio. This module matches the Com port module’s connector type on the
rear of the chassis.
uP MODULE
The uP module creates the communications packets that are converted by the Com module to a
particular protocol, i.e. RS-422. The uP module is capable of synchronous and asynchronous
communications. Synchronous communications are used by all unit to unit communications.
Asynchronous communications are used by the RS-232 ports or other protocol used for unit to PC
communications.
The uP module also controls the output of the Com ports. The Com ports can be turned On or Off
individually in the settings software.
2-1
DIGITAL PACKETS
The communications packet created by the uP module varies in length depending on the information
being transmitted. The minimum packet length is 40 bits (for Trip and Guard communications) and the
maximum length is 152 bits (for communicating settings).
The PDR-2000 is capable, as listed previously, of communicating more then just Trip and Guard inputs.
By using the PDR-2000 GUI (Graphical User Interface), a local unit can be used to get the status, get
the settings, get the events, send new settings, and send an erase events command to a remote unit.
Packets can travel from unit to unit, PC to unit, and unit to PC. Trip/Guard commands are sent from
unit to unit. Sending information regarding status, current settings, and events are sent from a unit to
a PC. A request for information (including status, settings and events), an erase events command,
and a download of settings or firmware originate from the PC and are sent to a unit. All information can
be forwarded, other than firmware. Firmware must only be downloaded from a PC directly to a unit.
There are several types of packets that are used by the PDR-2000.
TYPE A
Trip/Guard Commands
Type A packets always have priority over all other packet types. Other packet types are sent when the
Trip inputs are not changing state. Type A packets are transmitted between the packets of another
type when they are in a string, even if there is not a change of state for the Trip inputs. Type A packets
can only be generated and received by a PDR-2000. The packet size is always 40 bits.
2-2
TYPE B
Ping Tests
Byte 4 Unit ID to
Byte 5 Command
Type B packets are used only when executing a Ping test, see Section 6 for more information on Ping
tests. All types of Ping tests (manual, automatic, GUI generated, and keypad generated) use similar
packet structures.
TYPE C
Get Status, Get Settings, Get Events, Get Inputs, Erase Events
Byte 4 Unit ID to
Byte 5 Command
Byte 6 Sub-command
Type C packets are all generated from the a PC using the GUI. All of these packets are requests for the
unit to perform a function, whether it is to return data to the PC or to erase events in the Flash memory.
These packets can be forwarded along the Com link connecting units until the PDR-2000 addressed
by the GUI is reached.
2-3
TYPE D AND E
Type D packets are used for a unit to send responses to the PC in reply for a request for information.
Uploading settings, status and events are three types of information sent. Type D packets are also
used to download settings and firmware to the unit from the PC. Type D packets vary in length but
never exceed 152 bits in length. These longer packets are required to accommodate the amount of
information that needs to be sent. All type D packets use similar structures to type C packets but vary
in construction as the steps of transferring data take place. After a type D packet has been sent, the
sender, whether the unit or GUI, requires a type E packet as a response before it will send another type
D packet.
A type E packet is a simple 7 byte packet that tells the sending unit that the previous packet was
received successfully or not. If the sending unit receives a type E packet that indicates the previous
packet was received successfully, it sends the next type D packet. If the sending unit receives a type
E packet that indicates the previous packet was not received successfully, it re-sends the previous
packet, at which time it waits for the next response in the form of a type E packet and will repeat the
message again if necessary. This process is to ensure that all data is received accurately and to
prevent the unit or GUI from locking up do to faulty communications. Firmware must be downloaded
from a PC directly to the unit being updated. All other information can be forwarded automatically to
indirectly connected units.
2-4
CRC
The packets are checked using the CRC code (Cyclic Redundancy Check). The PDR-2000 uses the
CRC-CCITT polynomial for the CRC with the formula: x16 + x12 + x5 + 1. If a packet fails the CRC, the
data in the packet is disregarded. The unit starts counting the next 999 packets and writes to the event
recorder the percentage of bad packets received over the 1000 packets. This process is not initiated
again until a packet with a CRC error is received. If the Status Relay module is programmed for a bit
error alarm, the LED and relay will be activated for the duration programmed, see Section 3 (On-Board
Programming) or Section 4 (Remote Programming), for instructions on programming Status Alarm
relays. 100ms of bit errors will cause a loss of communications alarm on the Com port(s) with the bit
errors. One error free packet is required to reset the communications channel.
The uP module also checks for communications failure. If no recognizable communications are sensed
on the input of the Com port, a communications failure alarm will close and a time stamped event will
be logged for the Com port from which the communications failed.
The different types of packets are prioritized. A Trip/Guard packet always has priority over other packets.
When data packets other then Trip/Guard packets are sent, they are interlaced with Trip/Guard packets
in order to maintain the fastest Trip times possible. When the state of the Trip inputs and outputs is
stable, the other packet types are again transmitted.
UNIT ID
A Unit ID number is included in every packet. This is the number assigned to each unit to differentiate
it from other units on the same communications system (see Section 3, On-Board Programming, to
program Unit ID). The Unit ID number is used in two ways. First, the Unit ID number allows the GUI to
program locally or remotely a unit, get the status, events and settings. This is stored in the unit and is
used to respond to queries addressed, with the Unit ID number, for that unit. The other use of the Unit
ID number is for acceptance of Trip commands. When a packet is received, if the receiving unit has
the Unit ID feature turned On, the Unit ID number in the packet must agree with the receive logic in
order to accept the Trip command, increasing security.
The PDR-2000 continually updates the status of the Trip outputs based on the packets being received.
The status of an output (Trip/Guard) is maintained until a new packet is received with different (Trip/
Guard) commands.
The PDR-2000 does not use the Unit ID number to address to a particular unit. It is used as an
address from a unit. The receive logic determines if the Unit ID number as well as the Trip/Guard data
contained in the received packet have the requirements to output a Trip. This allows the unit to be more
flexible and does not require direct connections between units to allow tripping.
If communications were to cease, the Unit ID number allows the unit to block individual Trip outputs. In
cases where one of the two Com ports is still operating, the PDR-2000 blocks the outputs that are
programmed with the Unit ID numbers that are no longer being received. Depending on how the unit is
programmed, the output will block in 500 ms or less, see Section 3 (On-Board Programming) or
Section 4 (Remote Programming) for alarm programming.
Unit ID should always be used for increased security, but can be turned Off for loop back testing or
other applications. Unit ID must be On when using Packet Forwarding or any other application that
requires both Com ports.
2-5
PACKET FORWARDING
Packet Forwarding is used by the Trip commands and the GUI communications. When the unit is
programmed with the Packet Forwarding feature turned On, all Type A packets are retransmitted.
When a packet is retransmitted, it is received on one Com port and transmitted on the other port.
Packets are not forwarded on the same Com port they are received on.
EXAMPLE: If Unit 10 has Packet Forwarding On and receives a Type A Trip/Guard packet on Com port
1, Unit 10 will look at the data for its own operation and retransmit the entire packet out of Com port 2.
A packet with a CRC error will not be retransmitted. The packet will no longer be forwarded when it
reaches the packet’s originating unit, a unit with only one active Com port, or a unit with Packet Forwarding
turned Off.
Packet Forwarding is also used to transmit data and requests for data such as settings or events.
Data packets (all packets other then Type A packets) are forwarded automatically. These packets
forward until the addressed unit or PC are located regardless of whether Packet Forwarding is on or
off. Packets that forward automatically are stopped when they reach their destination, the originating
unit, or a unit with only one active Com port.
EXAMPLE: If a PC is connected to Unit 10 and the Get Status button (see Section 4, Remote
Programming for instructions to operate the GUI) is clicked for Unit 30, Unit 10 will forward the query
out of all active Com ports. If unit 20 receives the query from Unit 10, it will forward the query out the
other Com port (if the other Com port is On) and this process will continue until Unit 30 is found. The
process will reverse itself with Unit 30’s response until it makes it back to Unit 10 and to the PC.
There are two types of schemes that Packet Forwarding can be used, a string or a loop. When used
in a string, trip speeds are not severely impacted because they are moving in one direction. The PDR-
2000 determines automatically that it is in a loop configuration when all the units have Packet Forwarding
On. It realizes that a loop exists when packets containing it’s own Unit ID number are being received
on both Com ports. When the unit is in a loop, the spacing between packets is increased to allow for
the additional data that is required on the same bandwidth. Change of state of the Trip inputs causes
the associated packet to be accelerated and not wait for the longer space between packets. In general
trip times will be slower then for units not in a loop.
When requesting data from remote units or changing settings using the GUI when the system is in a
loop, whether or not Packet Forwarding is On, or is being queried by two computers simultaneously,
the unit can only respond to one request at a time. Once the first request for information or attempt to
download settings appears on a Com port, all other requests or downloads are rejected by the unit until
the first process is finished or if the first process is interrupted for one second. If a request is made to
a “busy” unit, a message is posted that stating that there is no communications with the unit. If this
happens, wait a few seconds and try again.
It is recommended that no more then four consecutive units in a string or loop have Packet Forwarding
On. When excessive packets exist on a system, some are discarded when timing and bandwidth do
not allow for all packets to be transmitted. This may slow trip times.
2-6
AUDIO PACKETS
When equipped with an Audio Communications module, the PDR-2000 sends the digital information
over a voice grade audio circuit, 300 to 3380 Hz. The audio module uses a unique set of data when
compared to the digital I/O modules.
The Audio Communications module generates 22 tightly spaced sub-channels with a bandwidth of
approximately 140 Hz each. Twenty of the sub-channels carry digital data, two of the sub-channels are
pilot channels that synchronize both ends of the PDR-2000 communication channel. Of the 20 data
sub-channels, each sub-channel transmits 2 bits for a total of 40 bits. The 40 data bits are made up of
the following:
Using a large bit error correction code increases dependability by correcting the most common bit
errors caused by noise. The CRC will reject almost all uncorrectable errors avoiding false trips. Only
packets that can not be corrected are flagged by the event recorder as a bit error.
When Type B, C, D, or E packets need to be sent using the Audio Communications module, they are
sent in their entirety. The packets are broken into 8 bit bytes and transmitted in the 8 bit data field as
described above. Trip/guard packets are alternated with these packets as to not adversely delay trip
functionality. The result is slow transmission of Type B, C, D, or E packets when compared to fully
digital systems.
PACKET FORWARDING
Packet Forwarding must be turned Off when using the Audio Communications module.
The delays and bandwidth restrictions associated with audio communications make Packet
Forwarding slow and impractical.
UNIT ID
The Unit ID numbers available when using the Audio Communications module are limited due to the
bandwidth restrictions of an audio line. Only Unit ID numbers 1, 2, or 3 may be used. Do not use any
other Unit ID numbers as they will not be recognized by the communication module. Since Packet
Forwarding does not work with the Audio Communications module, more then 3 Unit ID numbers are
not required.
PING TESTS
When Ping tests are used with the Audio Communication module, the results of the throughput time
will not be accurate. This is due to the parceling of the Ping Test packet as described above. Use of
the Ping test Fail alarm will have to be adjusted to accommodate the length of the test, see Section 6,
System Tests for more details on Ping tests and see Section 13, Status Relay module for more details
on the Ping Test alarm
2-7
RS-232 COMMUNICATIONS
The RS-232 ports use asynchronous communications to communicate from a PC (using the GUI) to
a PDR-2000. The purpose of this communication is for programming and retrieving information.
HARDWARE
The PDR-2000 comes with two RS-232 ports. A 9 pin DCE port is located in the front of the chassis
and a 9 pin DTE port is located on the rear of the chassis.
The DCE is designed to be directly connected to a serial port of a PC via a straight (not a null modem)
M/F extension cable. The rate on this port is 115200 baud.
The DTE port on the rear of the chassis is designed for remote access via a modem or similar device.
The PDR-2000 GUI provides for connection options including modem driver software, see Section 4
Remote Programming for instructions.
These ports are run from the RS-232 module located next to the keypad and display and has the DCE
port located on its front panel. This module also contains the circuitry for the IRIG-B input. The RS-232
module provides an isolation of 5000 V between the connector and the unit. This module converts the
asynchronous signal from the uP module to the RS-232 electrical standard.
The GUI is capable of downloading settings, downloading firmware, erasing events, getting events,
getting status, getting settings from the unit it is directly communicating with, and can do all of the
above, except download firmware, using Packet Forwarding.
IRIG-B
The PDR-2000 has the ability to update the internal clock (used for sequence of events recording)
using a standard modulated IRIG-B input from a GPS clock. The standard modulated signal does not
include the year so it must be entered manually (see Section 7, Event Recording for programming
instructions). The uP module uses crystal oscillator to maintain the internal clock. The internal clock
is updated using the IRIG-B signal to maintain a 1 ms accuracy. The internal clock maintains the time
when there is no IRIG-B signal. If power is lost, a battery located on the uP module powers the internal
clock. The internal clock automatically tries to update from the IRIG-B signal at Power On. The battery
is only used for maintaining the internal clock when the power is turned off. If the battery dies or is
removed, the clock must be set manually or by the IRIG-B input every time the power is turned on.
2-8
Section 3 ON-BOARD PROGRAMMING
This section describes all the processes available to program the PDR-2000 without the use of any
external equipment (see Section 5, Installation for step by step installation instructions). There are up
to four ways to program the unit; the Display module on the front panel, a PC using the RS-232 port on
the front panel, a computer using a RS-232 port (or other communication port depending on unit
configuration) on the rear terminal block board, or a computer connected to another PDR-2000.
Programming using the Display Module is described in this section. Chart 3-1, located at the end of
this section, is a flow chart for all the screens available through the Display module.
Downloading new settings does not take the PDR-2000 out of service. When programming
using the Display Module, settings are changed instantaneously when the OK is pressed (as
described later in this section). Unlike using the Graphical User Interface (GUI), On-board
programming is done step by step. It may be recommended in some circumstances to take the
PDR-2000 off-line before making significant changes to the settings using the Display Module.
PASSWORD: No matter which method is used, programming the unit requires it’s password. The
PDR-2000 comes with the default password, 1234, and may be changed to any four digit number.
Iniven retains a manufacturer’s password in case a unit’s password is changed and/or forgotten.
PRIORITY: If a user is programming a PDR-2000 using the Display module, other programming
methods are disabled. As long as the display module is not being used to program the unit, the other
three methods have no priority and will not conflict since all programming information is downloaded all
at once with the click of a mouse. The last changes downloaded are the ones that will be retained and
used by the unit.
TRIP IN/OUT & CHANNELS: Since the Trip outputs can be programmed to operate with different
channels, to avoid confusion, when programming the PDR-2000 Trip Inputs and Trip Outputs are
referred to as 1 through 8. The eight communication sub-channels are referred to as A through H.
DISPLAY MODULE
F1 F2 F3 F4
3-1
The display module uses a Vacuum Florescent Display (VFD) and a keypad to program the PDR-
2000. All the program settings can be made and reviewed by using the Display module. The Display
module is menu driven and controlled by a combination of function keys and alphanumeric entries.
The VFD has 4 lines of 20 characters each. With the exception of the default screen, where the time
is also shown, the bottom line is only used as function key commands. The top three lines are used as
menu selection and information display.
Note: If left untouched for approximately two minutes, no matter what screen is presently on the VFD,
the Display module will abort the screen and return to the default display. If a task is left uncompleted,
the system will not be updated. When not in use the display dims to extend it’s longevity.
DEFAULT DISPLAY: During normal operation and while not being queried or programmed the Display
module has the following screen:
0 1 A B C D E F G H
T X G G G G G G G G
R X G G G G G G G G
S E T U P D I A G 1 2 : 4 9 P M
The A through H on the first line of the display are the eight communication channels of the unit. To the
left, is a two digit number. This is the Unit ID number assigned to this unit. The next line is the status
of the eight communication channels that are being transmitted. The display will show a G for Guard,
or T for Trip. The third line of the display is the state of the eight receive channels, again using G, T or
B for Block. The bottom line has the commands for the function keys (F keys) and the time being used
by the Event Recorder.
FUNCTION KEYS: There are four function keys F1 through F4. These keys perform the function
described directly above it on the bottom line of the display.
PROGRAMMING
To program the PDR-2000 press the F1 key to enter the SETUP menu. The next screen will ask you
for the unit’s four digit password. You must enter the correct password before any settings can be
changed. The password when the unit leaves the factory is 1234.

SYSTEM SETUP
System Setup: The PDR-2000 system parameters are programmed with the System Setup menus.
Since many of these settings affect the way the rest of the unit is programmed, it is advised that the
System Setup be programmed first.
There are nine choices spread over three menus in System Setup. Press the F2 and F3 screens to
toggle between the three menus.

UNIT IDENTITY is used to program the PDR-2000 Unit ID and to turn the Unit ID feature on/off. Unit ID
increases security by requiring receiving units to be programmed to receive Trips on a particular channel
and only from a unit with the proper ID number.
SEND TRIP MANUALLY is a feature that can be used to initiate Trips on any or all channels for a
specified period of time. WARNING: this feature can result in a Trip being output on the receiving
end of the channel(s) depending on receive logic.
PACKET FORWARDING is a feature that when turned on instructs the PDR-2000 to retransmit any
packets containing Trip and/or Guard commands. Packet Forwarding allows PDR-2000s to be strung
together and can also be used as redundant communication paths in a loop configuration.
3-4
DATE/TIME SET is the manual internal clock setup for the sequence of events recorder. This is used
to enter the year when first powering on the unit when an IRIG-B input is used. When an IRIG-B input
is not used, this is used to set the internal clock for time and date.
ALARM SETUP is used to set the programmable status relays and change the default time delays on
the Alarm, Block, LOC1, and LOC2 Relays. This section is also used to change the different available
optional Trip Cut Out switches. These options are either a separate Cut Out Switch module or an
integrated switch on the Trip Out module. Both these options have different functionality.
COM SETTINGS allows the user to turn On or Off the Com ports. Using two Com ports allows for the
use of Packet Forwarding and schemes using strings, loops, and three terminal applications. This
section also includes the settings for the synchronous clock source.
AUTO PING TEST is used to set up the automatic testing to another unit. The test confirms proper
communications and channel delay between two units. See Section 6, System Tests, for more
information about Ping test options and other testing methods. Programming a status relay for Ping
test fail is performed in ALARM SETUP.
AUDIO SETUP is used to control the transmit output level of the optional Audio Communications module.

NOTE: If OK is not pressed and either EXIT is pressed or if the unit times out from being left idle for too
long, the changes will not be made.
The Unit ID Activation menu turns this feature on/off. The PDR-2000 transmits its Unit ID number in
each string, this can not be turned off. When Unit ID is Off, a PDR-2000 only requires that another
PDR-2000 sends an appropriate signal for the outputs to operate and ignores the Unit ID number in the
receive logic. When Unit ID is turned On, the PDR-2000 receive logic requires not just the proper
channel to be present, but also the ID number must agree with the Trip output’s programming (See RX
SETUP later in this section).
EXAMPLE: If PDR-2000 with Unit ID 1 is communicating to another unit with Unit ID 2 and Unit 1
sends a Trip indication on Channel A, Unit 2’s Trip output must be programmed to receive Trips on
Channel A and from Unit 1 in order to actually Trip. If another Unit ID number is present instead of 1, the
Trip will not be output.
The default setting is Unit ID Off and unless otherwise programmed the communication channels are
directly tied to the Trip outputs (A to 1, B to 2 and so on) as described in RX SETUP later in this section.
When Unit ID is turned On, these default settings must be programmed to avoid misoperation.
Turning Unit ID On increases the security of received Trips and is always recommended. Leaving it Off
can be used for local loop back tests without reprogramming the receive logic. A status alarm will turn
on if the Unit ID feature is turned Off.
Packet Forwarding and use of both Com ports, features described later in this section, require the Unit
ID feature to be On.
To enter this unit’s ID number that will be transmitted with every string, press 2 and F1 on the Unit ID
Main menu.

The default Unit ID number is 01. Any number from 01 to 99 can be used as the ID number for digital
applications. For audio applications only Unit ID numbers 01, 02, or 03 are valid. Use the numbers on
the keypad to enter the number and press F1 to enter or F3 to clear the selection without leaving the
screen.
If the Unit ID feature is not being used, it is still important that a unique Unit ID number be assigned to
the unit for use with the GUI, see Section 4, Remote Programming.
NOTE: It is recommended that every PDR-2000 being used in the same communications system
whether they are interacting directly or indirectly be assigned different numbers when possible.
To learn more about how Unit ID works, see Section 2, Digital Communications.

2. PASSWORD: The default password for the PDR-2000 is 1234. It is recommended that the
password be changed to limit access to the vital parts of the software. All features that do not affect the
operation of the unit are accessible without the need of the password.
INIVEN maintains a manufacturer’s password to all units in case the customer’s password is changed
and/or forgotten. Have your company representative call the factory in case of such an event at 800-

4. PACKET FORWARDING: By turning this feature on, the PDR-2000 can be used to
communicate with multiple units whether they are connected directly or indirectly.
NOTE: Do not use Packet Forwarding when the Audio Communications module is installed.
Packet Forwarding works in conjunction with Unit ID and the two standard Com ports (see COM
SETTINGS later in this section) to pass on Trip/Guard commands to other PDR-2000’s that are not
directly connected.
EXAMPLE: Figure 3-17 shows a ring of four PDR-2000s with bi-directional communications between
units. With Packet Forwarding On, Unit 1 can send a Trip to Unit 4. For the purposes of this example,
Unit 4 is programmed to Trip when it receives a Trip from Unit 1 on channel B. Unit 1 communicates
over two different communication paths (using Com port 1 and Com Port 2) to Units 2 and 3. Units 2
and 3 do not output a Trip because they are not programmed to receive a Trip from Unit 1 on channel
B. Unit 2 passes the Trip instruction to Unit 4, and Unit 3 passes the Trip instruction to Unit 4 through
their other Com ports. When Unit 4 receives the Trip, the appropriate Trip output is activated. It does
not matter that Unit 3 receives the Trip twice.
This “forwarding” works in both directions and is used only for Trip and Guard commands. Other
information is controlled by the GUI and is forwarded automatically.
When Packet Forwarding is turned On using the Keypad and Display, Unit ID is automatically turned
On and both Com ports need to be turned On. Both are required in order for Packet Forwarding to
work properly.
NOTE: When used in a loop, trip times will be slower with Packet Forwarding On.
Packet Forwarding may also be used as a redundancy feature, so that although a Trip is intended to be
direct, the indirect path can be used as a backup in case the primary path should fail.
3-11
P A C K E T F O R W A R D

The asterisk on the Packet Forwarding menu indicates the present setting. The default setting is Off.
Once Packet Forwarding is On, all Trip/Guard packets (Type A packets) received by one Com port will
be retransmitted out of the other Com port. The packet is forwarded until the initiating unit receives its
own packet at which point the packet is no longer transmitted.
Programming the PDR-2000 with Packet Forwarding On is the same as with only Unit ID On but more
care needs to be taken when programming the Receive Logic of units on a larger scale network to
avoid incorrect Trip outputs.
3-12
5. DATE / TIME STAMP: There are two ways to enter the date and time for the sequence of
events recorder. An IRIG-B modulated input connected to the BNC connector on the rear of the chassis
will automatically update the event timing. If this is not available, the time and date may be entered
manually. If the IRIG-B input is connected after the time and date have been entered, the GPS time will
automatically be used. If the GPS clock is disconnected or if the signal is lost, the internal clock will
automatically maintain the time and date from the last input.

The date set is displayed as Month/Day/Year. The time is set using military time (24 hour clock) as
Hour: Minute: Second. In this format 1:00 PM is entered as 13:00, 2:00 PM as 14:00 and so on. Either
re-enter all the information using the keypad starting with the month or use F2 and F3 to skip to the field
that is to be changed. Press F1 to have the unit accept the new date/time setting.
The Default Display, Figure 3-2, will show the time in a 12 hour clock format with AM or PM.
A Lithium Ion battery on the uP module maintains the clock, if the unit is turned off or loses power. This
battery should be replaced every 10 years. See Section 18, Maintenance for battery replacement
instructions.
3-13
6. ALARM SETUP: These menus are used to program status alarms and optional Trip cut out
switches.
ALARMS: The PDR-2000 has ten Status relays: Alarm, Block, LOC 1, LOC 2, PROG 1, PROG 2, Unit
ID Off, uP Fail, PWR 1 Fail, and PWR 2 Fail. The first four of these alarms are programmable for
delay. PROG 1 and 2 are programmable relays that can be assigned one of seven different types of
events and have latching timers. The Unit ID Off, microprocessor fail and power fail alarms are instan-
taneous and not programmable. All alarms other then the power fail relays are located on the Status
Relay module.
The Alarm and Block programmable delays also prevent the Event Recorder from writing the Alarm or
Block event until the actual alarms are triggered (after the delay). The LOC (Loss of Communication)
delays do not delay the recording of the event, but do delay the activation of the relay and front panel
LED indication.
The programmable alarms can be set to one of seven events in the event recorder, BIT Error 1, Bit
Error 2, Invalid ID, Timeout ID, Trip In, Ping Test Fail, or Trip Out. Because theses alarms are driven by
the event recorder, the alarms are instantaneous and have no duration. To trigger the Status relay for
any period of time, a latching timer can be programmed in 3 second intervals. The Ping Test Fail and
Timeout ID can be programmed for delays for up to 20 ms. In other words, If a Ping test does not
complete the test in less then the time programmed, the test fails. The other five programmable
events do not have a delay setting.
For more information about Status relays and their function, see Section 13, Status Relay Module.
Two of the next three menus allow the user to choose which Status relay they would like to program.
Pressing F3 displays the next screen and the other options.

programmable alarm relays will only be activated for the duration of the latching time.
3-15
TRIP CUT OUT SWITCH: The PDR-2000 is available with an optional Cut Out Switch. There are two
versions of this option that can be supplied. The Cut Out Switch (CC2256-00) is a module designed to
occupy the two slots on the furthest right hand side of the chassis normally occupied by the optional
dry contact relay trip modules. This module uses a large air gap switch to cut the trip outputs and the
power to the trip inputs. There is also a logic block to the trip inputs as a failsafe. This switch provides
a connection on the terminal blocks for an external annunciator for the switch position and a software
logic block for the trip inputs.
The second option is the Trip Out module with optional Cut Out Switch (CC2245-01). This version is
integrated into the Trip Output module and contains a switch that disables the solid state trip output
relays. When the switch is in the cut out (Test) position, the Alarm relay is activated and the Alarm LED
is lit. The trip inputs are not disabled with this version of the switch.
For the microprocessor module to work properly with different types of cut out switches, the proper
selection must be made
The next menu allows the user to select the type of cut out switch is installed in the unit.
To program the type of cut out switch, press the F3 key on the Alarm Setup Menu A and F3 key again on
the Alarm Setup Menu B. The third screen will contain option 7, Cut Out Switch.

Choose which type of cut out switch is installed in the unit or press 1 for None.
If a cut out switch is not installed and None is not selected, the unit will not misoperate.
3-16
7. COM SETTINGS: There are two Com ports on the rear panel of the PDR-2000. It does not
matter whether the system is using fiber optic or electrical connectors. These Com ports are the main
communication paths for system protection.
Com 1 is the default connector. If Unit ID is Off and the system is not set up for a loop back test, only
one Com port should be used.
By using two Com ports the PDR-2000 can communicate over two different paths (i.e. T1 channels) to
two different units. Both Com ports must be active in order to use Packet Forwarding (see Packet
Forwarding earlier in this section).
When using a synchronous channel that requires clocking from the communications system like a
RS-422, the communications system may use the rising or falling edge of the clocking signal. The
PDR-2000 defaults on the rising edge of the signal. If it is to be used with a system that uses the falling
edge the PDR-2000 needs to invert the clock. The Audio Communications module uses falling
edge timer and the Invert Clock setting must be turned on for the the unit to operate correctly.
This setting is for both Com ports.

To change the state of a Com port from On to Off or vice versa, press 1 and/or 2 on the keypad. The
change is made instantly in the unit and the display will change to reflect the new state of the Com port.
NOTE: Confirm that the connections on the back of the chassis correspond with the software settings
or the unit may not work properly.
For more information on the Com ports and Packet Forwarding, see Section 2, Digital Communications.
To invert the clock, press 3 on the keypad. The change is made instantly in the unit and the display will
change to reflect the new state of the synchronous timing signal.
3-17
8. AUTO PING TEST: The Ping test performs a complete system test of the digital
communications and the receive and transmit capabilities of the PDR-2000. The Ping test also shows
the results of the round trip time required to perform the test and the communication delays involved.
Because the Ping test is sent to a particular unit by only one port, the communication delay can be
determined over different paths to the same unit if a loop arrangement is being used.
There are two ways to initiate a Ping test. The first is by manually initiating a one time test using the
diagnostics menu, see Section 6, System Testing. The second is to start an automatic repetitive test,
the auto Ping test.

The first menu sets the amount of time between tests. Press the F2 button to increase and F3 to
decrease the interval and then Press F1.
NOTE: It is not recommended to make the interval too small as it may increase Trip times. For
channel delay alarms use the Timeout ID status relay option described later in this section and Section

and press F1 to start the automatic Ping test and press F4 if the programming is completed but the test
is not to be initiated at this time. The Ping test will write the result of the test to the event recorder which
includes the round trip delay. A status relay may be assigned a Ping test fail indication which will
activate a LED and a contact on the Status Relay module. For more information about Status relays,
see Section 13, Status Relay Module.

9. AUDIO SETUP: The Audio Communications Module requires additional settings not required
by other communication modules. The output level of the transmitter must be set in accordance to the
4W audio line being used. The standard setting is -8dBm. This may be adjusted based on the quality
of the line and local practice.

Receive Setup: Receive logic parameters are made by programming the outputs. There are eight Trip
outputs (1 through 8). These outputs can be programmed to correspond with any of the eight channels
(A through H) or eight local Trip input (1 through 8) with or without the use of logic gates.
To program an output, choose the output using F2 and F3 to move the cursor to the desired output
number.

There are five parameters that can be programmed for the Trip output.
TRIP RX LOGIC is used to program which output will correspond to which Communication Channel.
Outputs can be triggered by received Trips, received Guards, or local inputs. Additional logic can be
programmed for more complex schemes using AND, OR, and XOR gates.
PRETRIP TIMER allows the uP module to delay a Trip output after it has received the Trip for the
programmed period of time.
GUARD BEFORE TRIP is an option that can be turned on or off. It requires a period of Guard to be
present before a Trip will be allowed to be output.
3-20
TRIP RX HOLD allows the uP module to output a Trip for a minimum period of time even if the Trip is
not present for the entire period of time.
LATCHING TIMER allows the uP module to output a Trip for an additional period of time after the Trip is
no longer present.
1. TRIP RX LOGIC: This menu gives the user the ability to program the logic for each Trip output.
NOTE: The default setting for the PDR-2000 is Unit ID off. In this case, unless otherwise programmed,
Trip output 1 is set for Communication Channel A, Trip output 2 is set for Communication Channel B
and so on. If Unit ID is turned on in the SYSTEM SETUP menu (see System Setup earlier in this
section), the Unit ID numbers used in the logic must be updated or improper Trip schemes may be
established.
Programming the logic is more intuitive using the GUI, but it may be done using the Trip receive logic
menu.
The logic flows from left to right. Inputs may be received Trip or Guard signals, local Trip inputs, and
may be turned permanently On or Off. The Unit ID needs to be assigned for received channels when
Unit ID is turned On. Each of the inputs may be inverted before reaching the gates. AND, OR, and
XOR gates are layered as illustrated above.

The first line indicates if the inputs on the second line are inverted or not. A _ indicates the input is
inverted. A blank indicates that the input is not inverted. The symbol is located directly over the input it
refers to.
The second line is the type of input and the gates. The parentheses show the logic statement. The
first input A shown on the top in Figure 3-36, is on the left of Figure 3-37, and continues in order to the
right. A capital letter, A through H, represent received inputs. A small case a through h represent
received Guard signals. A number, 1 through 8, represents a local Trip input. The letter O is used with
the letter below.
3-21
it to show that the input is in a permanent position, either On or Off. The gates are shown as & for AND,
| for OR, and X for XOR. The parentheses follow standard mathematical priority. The first logic gate is
then gated with the second logic gate and the combined logic is gated with the third logic gate, as
shown in Figure 3-36.
The third line is used to program Unit ID numbers and turn static inputs On or Off. Only received
channels need Unit ID numbers. The static inputs are represented as ON for a logic 1 or OF for a logic
0. Local Trip inputs do not have any additional information associated with them.

reaches the end of the right side of a line it will move down to the next line and when it reaches the left
side of the line it will move up a line. On the first line, press the 1 key to toggle between inverted and
non-inverted. On the second line, press the 1 key to toggle between the three types of gates. Use the
1 key to toggle between all types of inputs (A-H, a-h, 1-8, and On/Off). On the third line use the 1 key
to enter Unit ID numbers below channel letters.
NOTE: All changes to the logic are instantaneous before the F1 key is pressed. It is strongly
advised to take the unit offline when programming the logic using the keypad to avoid unwanted
tripping.
Repeat the above procedure to program the eight outputs. If Unit ID is On, the Unit ID of the transmitting
(remote) PDR-2000 needs to be entered when the Communications Channel is added.
If all inputs are set to Off the output relay is turned off.
NOTE: It is important to remember to program all eight channels whether they are used are
not so that existing programming does not result in false Trips.
3-22
NOTE: The Unit ID number corresponds with the unit communicating with the unit being programmed.
Unit ID’s are confirmed only on the receive side of the Communications Channel.
If the unit is communicating with more than one other PDR-2000, either because both Com ports are
in use, Packet Forwarding is being used, or both, more than one Unit ID may be used for the multiple
receive channels.
Trip outputs can be programmed with the same logic Trip outputs, if redundant outputs are desired.
EXAMPLE: Trip Out 1 of Unit 1 can be programmed to Trip only when Channel A of Unit ID 2 and
Channel B of Unit ID 3 are both present (see System Setup earlier in this section for Unit ID programming
instructions or Section 2, Digital Communications to learn more about how Unit ID works).

The Pretrip Timer is programmed for the output so that once all conditions for a Trip output are met,
those conditions must be maintained for the time programmed, before the output will be tripped.
Use the F2 and F3 keys to increase or decrease the time (in 0.5 millisecond intervals) and press F1 for
OK.
NOTE: The Pretrip Timer while being time based, requires updated packet data which may require
more than a millisecond. If the Pretrip timer is set to any value higher then 0.0 ms, the minimum time
is the time required to receive 2 packets. It is therefore possible for the Pretrip Timer to be extended
slightly longer then the time programmed.

When Guard before Trip is Off, a Trip will be output regardless of the state of the channel before the Trip
was received. The unit does not discriminate whether the channel was previously in Guard or Block
and for how long. When Guard before Trip is turned On, Guard must be present on the channel for at
least the programmed amount of time or the Trip will not be output.
The time indicates the current setting for the Guard before Trip timer. The On or Off indicates whether
Guard before Trip is On or Off. The default setting is Off.
Use the F2 and F3 keys to increase or decrease the time (in 50 millisecond intervals). If the time is set
to 0.0 ms and Guard before Trip is On, at least 1 packet must be received with a Guard indication for
that channel before a Trip will be output. Any other time setting requires at least that amount of Guard
to be present before a Trip will be output. Press F1 for OK to accept the setting and go to the next
screen.

TX SETUP
Transmit Setup: There are two timers that can be programmed as part of the transmit logic, Trip TX
Hold and B Contact Keying.
Transmit logic automatically ties Input 1 to Channel A, Input 2 to Channel B, and so on. To program a
transmit channel press F2 and F3 to choose a channel and then press F1.

Press 1 for the Trip Tx Hold timer or 2 for the B Contact Keying timer and activation.
TRIP TX HOLD allows the eight transmit channels( A through H) to be programmed to transmit a Trip
for a minimum amount of time. This type of timer is sometimes referred to as a de-bounce timer.
EXAMPLE: If the Trip Tx Hold is set for 10 ms, and a Trip input lasts for less than 10 ms, the trip will
continue to be transmitted over the channel for 10 ms.
Trip inputs that last longer than the Trip Tx Hold time are unaffected by this setting.
B CONTACT KEYING is used to limit the length of the Trip transmit time.
3-28
1. TRIP TX HOLD: This menu is used to maintain the transmission of a Trip for a minimum
period of time. If a Trip is input, the timer starts, and will maintain the Trip for the duration of the timer
even if the trip input should drop out. Once the programmed time has past, the Trip will not be transmitted
if the input should drop out.

NOTE: Unlike the Receive Hold Timer, the Transmit Hold Timer’s effect on the receive timing is not as
exact, due to the various communication delays of a communications system.
3-29
2. B CONTACT KEYING: This menu is used to ensure a Trip does not last longer than the time

This section describes all the processes available to program the PDR-2000 settings using an external
computer (see Section 5, Installation for step by step installation instructions). There are up to four
ways to program the unit; the Display module on the front panel, a PC using the RS-232 port on the
front panel, a computer using a RS-232 port (or other communication port depending on unit
configuration) on the rear terminal block board, or a computer connected to another PDR-2000.
Downloading new settings does not take the PDR-2000 out of service. When programming
using a computer, settings are changed instantaneously when the DOWNLOAD SETTINGS is
pressed (as described later in this section) on the Graphical User Interface (GUI). Unlike
using the Keypad and Display, the GUI programs the logic off line and downloads the new
settings all at once.
The PDR-2000 GUI may be programmed locally or remotely. All PDR-2000’s come with a RS-232 port
located on the front panel of the unit. Depending on the communication protocol, either a RS-232 or
another type of port will be located on the rear of the chassis for remote access to the Event Recorder
and/or programming.
NOTE: This section will address the standard RS-232 ports. If a different protocol is supplied, the
operation of the port is described in Section 17, Option Modules.
The GUI also allows a user to program the settings, review the status of and download the events of
any PDR-2000 that the unit is communicating with either directly or indirectly. The GUI is also used to
download new firmware to the unit and initiate Ping tests.
NOTE: For instruction on the operation of the Event Recorder, see Section 7, Event Recording. For
instructions on the operation of the Ping test, see Section 6, System Tests.
PORTS
The nine pin RS-232 located on the front panel is a DCE port. A male/female nine pin cable is required
to connect a standard PC’s nine pin serial port to the PDR-2000 (a null modem cable is not required).
The male nine pin RS-232 located on the back of the chassis is a DTE port designed to be connected
to a modem or other communication device. The RS-232 cable can be connected with the unit ON or
OFF and the software can be started before or after the cable has been connected. The GUI will not
operate properly if communications are attempted to a unit unless connected to a unit. The GUI can be
used without a unit if used to set programming that is to downloaded at a later time.
The PDR-2000 GUI will run on any standard Windows® operating system. It is recommended that the
GUI be run on a computer with a screen resolution of at least 1024 x 768. All programming is performed
on the System configuration tab at the top of the screen. There are six tabs at the bottom of the screen.
Four of the tabs, TX Settings, RX Timing Settings, RX Logic and System Settings, provide all the
programming options for the unit. The fifth tab, Memo, is used to add notes into the unit’s memory. The
sixth tab, inputs_com, is used to view received packet information and output logic based on received
packet information. Use the audio version for units equipped with the Audio Communications module
for full functionality. Retrieval of remote events will not work with the standard GUI.
RETRIEVING DATA
The settings of a unit and it’s status can be retrieved at any time. Select the Unit ID number of the
PDR-2000 from which the information is being requested. The GUI will retrieve information from the
PDR-2000 directly connected to the computer or a remote unit communicating with the local unit via
the Com port, using Packet Forwarding.
NOTE: The Unit ID number of the unit from which the information is being sent must be correct or the
GUI will not communicate properly. It does not matter if Unit ID is On or Off. The Unit ID number is
indicated on the upper left corner of the Default Display.
To retrieve the status of the unit, what is currently displayed on the front panel indicators, press the Get
Status button on the upper left hand side of the screen. The “virtual PDR” on the GUI will mimic the
4-2
actual front panel status of the unit. The LED’s will light and the Display will match that of the real unit.
The last two slots of the PDR-2000 are not shown on the virtual PDR since there are no indicators for
those slots. The green power LED indicators will not illuminate.
To retrieve the settings of a unit (how the unit is programmed), press the Get Settings button. To view
the Settings after they are uploaded, use the mouse to click on the four programming tabs in the middle
of the screen in the UNIT SETTINGS box. The Get Settings command also uploads any notes in the
Memo section of the memory. Click on the Memo tab to see the notes. Always upload the settings
before making changes to a units logic or memo.
These settings can be saved to a disk, for future programming, by clicking on the Save button on the
right hand side of the UNIT SETTINGS box. Choose the destination, name the file, and click on the
Save button. To send a copy of the settings to a printer, click on the Print button on the right hand side
of the screen for a report, see Figure 4-10.
PROGRAMMING
All of the programming selections for the PDR-2000 are on the four programming tabs under the UNIT
SETTINGS header. The fifth tab, Memo, is used as a notepad within the units nonvolatile memory. The
sixth tab, inputs_com, is used as a debugging tool. There are three ways to start programming the
settings. First, a unit can be programmed from the default settings when the GUI program is first
started. Most settings are set to 0 and the Trip outputs are turned Off. Second, the settings can be
uploaded from a unit, as described above, and modified. Third, saved settings on a disk can be loaded
to the GUI and then modified or directly downloaded to the unit. In such a case, click on the Load button
and choose the drive and file name. No matter which method is used to load the settings, modifying
them uses the same method.
TX Settings: This tab controls the Trip input settings for the transmitter. The eight Trip inputs are
directly tied to the eight transmit channels (A through H) so that Trip In 1 is communicated over Channel
A, Trip In 2 is communicated over Channel B, and so on. The eight transmit channels can be programmed
to transmit a Trip for a minimum amount of time or to limit the transmission time of a Trip signal.
Trip Hold timer: this setting is used to maintain a Trip input signal for a minimum period of time after the
initial Trip input is received by the PDR-2000.
EXAMPLE: If the Trip Tx Hold time Channel A is set for 10 ms, and a Trip input on Trip In 1 lasts for less
than 10 ms, the Trip will continue to be transmitted over Channel A for 10 ms If Trip input 1 is keyed for
300 ms, the Trip signal will be transmitted for 300 ms.
To program the transmit hold time, click the mouse on the channel to be changed and delete the
existing number and type in the new value. Trip TX Hold can be programmed in 5 ms increments from
0 to 50 ms. Repeat for all the channels whose value needs to be changed.
Transmit hold time is also commonly known as input contact de-bounce time.
B Contact Keying: this is used to limit the total duration of a trip signal being transmitted regardless of
how long the Trip input is keyed. If the Trip input is keyed for less time then the B Contact Keying timer
is programmed for, the Trip will be transmitted for the actual length of the input.
EXAMPLE: If Trip input 1 is keyed for 10 seconds and the B Contact Keying timer is set for 100 ms,
Channel A will transmit a Trip signal for 100 ms and then transmit a Guard signal. The system will not
allow a Trip signal to be sent until the Trip input returns to Guard and then keyed with a Trip again.
4-3
To program the B Contact Keying timer, click on the On/Off box for the corresponding channel. A check
mark should appear and the Off should change to On. Then click in the timer field to the right and enter
the time. The time represents the maximum amount of Trip signal that will be transmitted. If the On/Off
box is Off and a time is entered, the B Contact Keying logic will be ignored. The time may be entered
in 20 ms increments from 0 to 1260 ms. Repeat for all the channels whose value needs to be changed.
4-4
RX Timing Settings: This tab contains the settings for the receiver’s Pre-Trip Timer, Guard before
Trip logic, Guard before Trip timing, RX hold timing, and RX latching timing.
Pre-trip Timer: This setting is the amount of time that must pass after a Trip signal has been received
before the Trip out circuit(s) will be energized. This is controlled by the uP module and all the conditions
of the receive logic (see RX Logic later in this section) must be met before the timer starts and must be
maintained during the period of the timer’s setting. The Pre-Trip timer settings are assigned to the Trip
out circuits, not the receive channels. The Pre-Trip timer adds security by lengthening the Trip time
beyond the PDR-2000’s standard security settings.
To program the Pre-Trip time, click the mouse on the Trip out to be changed type in the new value.
Repeat for all the Trip outs whose value needs to be changed. The time may be set in 0.5 ms increments
from 0 to 10 ms.
NOTE: The Pretrip Timer while being time based, requires updated packet data which may require
more than a millisecond. If the Pretrip timer is set to any value higher than 0.0 ms, the minimum time
is the time required to receive 2 packets. It is therefore possible for the Pretrip Timer to be extended
slightly longer then the time programmed.
Guard Before Trip: This is a feature that changes the logic of the Trip out circuit. When Guard before
Trip is Off, a Trip is output regardless of the state of the channel before the Trip was received. The unit
does not discriminate whether the channel was previously in Guard or Block and for how long. When
Guard before Trip is turned On, Guard must be received for at least the programmed amount of time
before a Trip command will be output. If the programmed time for Guard is not met, the Trip will be
4-5
ignored and the Trip Out circuit will not be activated until another Trip was received after the appropriate
period of Guard.
If the time is set to 0.0 ms and Guard before Trip is On, at least 1 complete packet must be received
with a Guard indication for that channel before a Trip will be output. Any other time setting requires at
least that amount time programmed, of Guard, to be present before a Trip will be output.
The Guard before Trip logic may be turned On/Off per Trip output. Guard before Trip logic takes place
after the receive logic (see RX Logic later in this section), so the receive logic must be satisfied before
the Guard before Trip timer. Use the mouse to click the On/Off once to toggle between the choices, a
checkmark indicates Guard before Trip is On and the selection is also indicated by the words ON or
OFF. To program the Guard before Trip time, click the mouse on the Trip Out number to be changed
and delete the existing number and type in the new value. The time can be entered in 50 ms increments
from 0 to 1000 ms. Repeat for all the Trip Outs whose value needs to be changed. If a value is entered
and Guard before Trip is Off, the time setting will be ignored.
Receive Hold Time: This is very similar to Transmit Hold Time. The difference is that the Trip is
programmed to the output and not the channel and the logic is performed on the receive side of the
communications.
EXAMPLE: If the Rx Hold time for Trip Out 1 is set for 10 ms, and a Trip on Channel A (the channel
programmed for Trip Out 1 for this example) lasts for less than 10 ms, the trip will continue to be output
on Trip out 1 for a total of 10 ms. If the Trip lasts for more then 10 ms, the timer does not extend the
duration of the Trip.
To program the Receive Hold Time, click the mouse on the Trip Out to be changed and delete the
existing number and type in the new value. The time may be programmed in 5 ms increments from 0
to 100 ms. Repeat for all the Trip Outs whose values needs to be changed.
Receive Latching Timer: This timer extends the duration of a Trip output by whatever time is entered.
If the duration of a Trip is X, the Latching timer will make the Trip output X+Latching Timer. The Latching
timer is the last piece of the receive logic in the microprocessor before outputting the Trip to an output
relay.
To program the Latching timer, click on the box for the Trip Out to be programmed and enter the
amount of time the output is to be latched. The time may be programmed in 10 ms increments from 0
to 5000 ms. Repeat for all the Trip Outs whose values needs to be changed.
RX Logic: This menu gives the user the ability to program the logic for each Trip output.
NOTE: It is important to understand that when programming the PDR-2000, the Trip Outputs, not the
channels are being programmed.
Trip Outs (1 through 8) are listed on the tabs on the top of the logic diagram. Each Trip Out circuit has
it’s own logic diagram. There are six inputs to the logic, each with an inverter, three initial gates and
three additional gates. The inputs may be selected by using the pull down menu. Possible inputs are
received Trip channels (A through H), received Guard channels (a through h), local Trip inputs (1
through 8), a permanently On state, or a permanently Off state.
WARNING: Never use Unit ID number 00 in any logic configuration. 00 is a default number and will not
operate properly in real tripping schemes. The use of Unit ID 00 may result in false trips and other
communication errors.
4-6
To program the Trip outs, choose the desired input from the pull down menu. Trips are designated
CH A-T for channel A, CH B-T for channel B and so on. Guards are designated CH a-G for channel A,
CH b-G for channel B and so on. If the input is to be inverted click on the arrow to the right of the input
and a circle is added to the tip of the arrow to indicate the input is inverted. This means that a logic 1
becomes a logic 0 or vice versa. If a receive Trip or Guard channel is selected a Unit ID field will
appear. Enter the Unit ID number of the remote unit whose channel the Trip is being received from.
NOTE: It is always recommended that the Unit ID feature be turned On for added security. Unless the
Unit ID feature is not desired for the scheme, make sure the Unit ID feature is turned On on the
Systems Settings tab (see System Settings later in this section). With two Com ports and Packet
Forwarding, it is possible for a unit to receive Trip commands from more than one source.
The logic works on the premise that a Trip in a Trip state, Guard in a Guard state, a local input being
energized or ON is a positive input. When the condition of the gate has been met (i.e. two positive
inputs to an And gate) a positive output will result. A positive Trip Out is used to activate the Trip output
relay after it has met the additional time logic of the RX timing settings, described earlier in this section.
NOTE: This manual often refers to outputs as Trip outputs. The “Trip outputs” may be used as a
Guard output, a blocking scheme instead of a tripping scheme, or any other type of logical output. “Trip
outputs” is used to differentiate these outputs from alarms or communication outputs.
The first two inputs have a gate. Program the gate by clicking on the symbol. Each time the symbol
is clicked, it will change from AND, OR, then XOR (see Figure 4-6 for symbol description). Inputs 3 and
4 have their own gate as does inputs 5 and 6. The result of the Inputs 1 and 2’s gate is then gated with
4-7
inputs 3 and 4’s gate output. The result of this gate is then gated with inputs 5 and 6’s gate output. All
the gates are programmed in the same way. The end result of all this logic is the Trip output which then
passes through the receive timer logic (described earlier in this section). To turn the Trip Out Off, turn
Off all six of the inputs.
4-8
System Settings: The System Settings are some of the most critical to the overall operation of the
system. These settings will determine the construct in which the settings described previously will
operate.
Unit ID: This is the number of the PDR-2000 that is being programmed. Every time a packet is transmitted
from a unit, the Unit ID number is included. The default number is 01. Each PDR-2000 that is on the
same system should be assigned a unique number, whether the Unit ID feature is On or Off.
This allows the GUI to download the Settings, Status, and Events of not only the local PDR-2000 that it
is connected to, but also any other unit that it is communicating with. If multiple units that are
communicating with each other have the same Unit ID number, the GUI will not be able to correctly
determine which unit the data is originating from and will not operate correctly.
The Unit ID field displays the Unit ID number when Get Settings is used. To change the Unit ID number
of a unit, the Keypad and Display must be used, see Section 3, On-Board Programming.
WARNING: It is advised that a PDR-2000 not be assigned the unit Unit ID number 01. The use of Unit
ID 01 may result in false trips and other communication errors if a field is mistakenly left unchanged
when programming or operating the GUI. Use numbers 02 to 99 for digital schemes and 01 to 03 when
using the Audio Communications module.
Unit ID On/Off: This setting turns the Unit ID feature for Receive Logic On or Off. When Unit ID is Off,
the Trip Out need only be programmed for the Channel on which the Trip command is coming. When
Unit ID is On, the Trip Out must be programmed for both the channel and the Unit ID number for it to
operate correctly. The Unit ID number is in every packet, regardless of the Unit ID feature setting. It is
4-9
always recommended that the Unit ID feature be turned On for added security. Turning Off the Unit ID
feature will result in a status alarm and is only recommended for loop back and other tests.
Password: This field contains the user access password of the unit. The 4 digit password must be
entered in this field correctly or the Download Settings, Download Firmware and Erase Events
commands will not be accepted. The Password must be for the unit whose Settings or Firmware are
being downloaded. This is not necessarily the local unit connected to the computer.
The default password for the PDR-2000 is 1234. It is recommended that the password be changed to
limit access to the Settings. To change the Password, enter the existing password in the Password
field and the new Password in the New Password field and the Confirm New Password field. Confirm
all the Settings and the Unit ID number are correct and click the Download Settings button.
NOTE: If the Settings are not correct and the Download Settings button is used to change the Password,
the Settings will update improperly. It is recommended that the Get Settings button be used to upload
the Settings before changing the Password.
INIVEN maintains a manufacturer’s password to all units in case the customer’s password is changed
and/or forgotten. Have your company’s representative call the factory in case of such an event, at 800-
526-3984 or 908-722-3770.
Packet Forwarding: By turning this feature On, the PDR-2000 can be used to communicate Trip and
Guard commands with multiple units whether they are connected directly or indirectly.
Packet Forwarding works in conjunction with Unit ID and the two standard Com ports (see COM
SETTINGS later in this section) to send or retrieve information including Trips to and from PDR-2000’s
not directly communicating with the local unit.
EXAMPLE: Figure 4-8 shows a ring of four PDR-2000’s with bi-directional communications between
units. With Packet Forwarding On, Unit 1 can send a Trip to Unit 4. For the purposes of this example,
Unit 4 is programmed to Trip when it receives a Trip from Unit 1 on channel B. Unit 1 communicates
over two different communication paths (using Com port 1 and Com port 2) to Units 2 and 3. Units 2
and 3 receive the packets, determine if there is valid tripping data for their logic, and retransmit the
packet out of the Com port the packet was not received on. Whether or not there is a Trip for Unit 2, it
passes on the packet to Unit 4. Unit 3 performs the same routine with the packet and passes it to
4-10
Unit 4. When Unit 4 receives the packet from units 2 or 3, the appropriate Trip output is activated and
it in turn passes the packet on. When the packet reaches the originating unit, in this case Unit 1, the
packet is no longer forwarded.
Other then Trip/Guard packets all other information is forwarded automatically without Packet Forwarding
turned On. This allows the user to program the settings, get the status, get the existing settings,
retrieve stored events, erase stored events, and generate a Ping test to any PDR-2000 communicating
with the originating unit directly (Unit 1 to Unit 2 in the example) or indirectly (Unit 1 to Unit 3 in the
example).
NOTE: It is critical that both Com ports are turned On (see Com Ports later in this section) and Unit Id
is also On. Only units in the “loop” or “string” with Packet Forwarding On will forward data. The
forwarding stops when a unit is reached that has Packet Forwarding turned Off, only one of the two
Com Ports On, or is the originating unit of the packet. When used in a loop, trip times will be slower
with Packet Forwarding On. Packet Forwarding must be off when using the Audio Communica-
tions module
Packet Forwarding may also be used as a redundancy feature so that although a Trip is intended to be
direct, the indirect path can be used as a backup in case the primary path should fail.
NOTE: It is important to remember to choose the correct Unit ID number on the GUI before initiating
any communications with a remote unit.
For more information on how Packet Forwarding works, see Section 2, Digital Communications
Status Alarms: Four of the Status Alarms are programmable for their delay. Alarm, Block, LOC 1, and
LOC 2 can be programmed for the amount of time required for the alarm must be present before their
dry contact relays are activated. Alarm and Block timers are also used to delay writing the Alarm and
Block events to the Event Recorder.
There are two programmable alarms. The programmable alarms are selected from the pull down
menu and contain seven choices: Bit Error 1, Bit Error 2, Invalid ID, Time Out ID, Trip In, Trip Out, and
Ping Test Fail. All of these events have a latch timer that determines the length of time the relays will
be activated. The programmable alarms are sourced from the event recorder as a single event and
therefore have no duration of their own, requiring the latching timer to be set. The latching timer
includes a manual reset setting that holds the relay On until the alarms are reset in the Diagnostics
menu on the keypad and display.
To reset a manual reset alarm, press F1 (DIAG) from the default display. Press the F2 (NEXT) for the
next menu. Press 4 and/or 5 to reset the desired alarm(s). If the condition that caused the alarm is still
present, i.e. a steady Trip input for a Trip input alarm, when an operator resets the alarm, the relay and
LED will alarm again until the condition is cleared.
Two of the programmable alarm options require additional timers, Timeout ID and Ping Test Fail. If
either of these are selected, an additional field appears. Timeout ID can be used when the Unit ID
feature is On. It determines if one of the Trip outputs has a Unit ID number programmed that has not
received a packet from that ID number for the amount of time programmed in the timer field. The timer
field is programmable in 1 ms increments and goes up to 1 second. If the Timeout ID is not used and
programmed for the status alarm, the default time used by the event recorder is 500 ms. Do not use
both programmable alarms for Ping Test Fail or Timeout ID.
Ping Test Fail is used to determine communication integrity and propagation delays in the system. The
4-11
timer field for Ping Test Fail is used to limit the acceptable amount of time required for the round trip
test. If the Ping Test exceeds the time programmed, the test is considered a failure and the relay will be
activated. This alarm will work with the manual or automatic Ping Test. Since Trip/Guard packets have
priority, round trip ping times may exceed the actual propagation delay and therefore should be considered
when choosing the amount of time before triggering the status alarm.
The Unit ID Off, microprocessor fail and power fail alarms are instantaneous and not programmable
for delay or latching.
Bit Error 1 and 2 alarms indicate that Bit Error has been detected on the matching Com port, 1 or 2.
Invalid ID is only used in a system with Unit ID On and Packet Forwarding Off. When a unit receives a
packet with an ID number that is not programmed in the receive logic, the alarm is activated. This
indicates that a unit is programmed incorrectly or that some type of problem exists in the communication
system that is allowing data from the wrong unit to reach the alarmed unit.
Trip In indicates that a Trip In was received on one of the eight Trip inputs.
Trip Out indicates that one of the eight Trip outputs was activated.
See Section 13, Status Relay Module for more details on status relays.
Com Ports: The Com 1 and Com 2 On/Off settings are used to activate the Com ports on the rear of
the chassis. It does not matter what type of communication is being used; RS-449, fiber optics, etc.
The Com Ports 1 and 2 are labeled on the rear of the chassis.
When both Com ports are On, it is not necessary to program the communication channels for each
port. The packets being transmitted by both ports are identical. The programming of the receive logic
filters the relevant Trip/Guard commands based on Channel and Unit ID settings.
If both Com Ports are On, Unit ID must also be On unless a loop back or other test is being performed.
It is recommended that unused Com ports are always turned Off. If using Packet Forwarding both
ports must be On. It is necessary to restart the unit after turning Com ports On or Off.
Invert Clock: For RS-422/RS-449 synchronous communication applications and for all other applications
where the PDR-2000 receives its timing signal from the communication device, not G.703 or C37.94.
The standard setting for this clocking is on the rising edge of the signal. If this needs to be changed to
the falling edge, set Invert Clock to the On position. The Audio communication module requires the
Invert Clock setting to be ON to operate correctly.
Software Version: This field displays the version number of the Firmware in the uP module when the
Get Settings command is used.
Auto Ping Test: An automatic Ping test may be performed by the unit at a programmed interval to a
desired remote unit over a specific path. Enter the Unit ID number of the remote unit to be pinged in the
To Unit ID field. Next enter the port the Ping test will be sent on using the pull down menu next to the
Port # label. This will determine the path of the test by limiting which port the ping is transmitted on. To
turn the auto test On, enter a time on the pull down menu next to the Repeat Every label. If the time
selected is Off, Auto Ping Test is Off. If any time other then Off is entered, Auto Ping Test will start after
the settings are downloaded. For more information on Ping Tests, see Section 6, System Tests.
NOTE: Every time a Ping test is performed, whether automatically or manually, at leas two events are
written to the Event Recorder. Keep this in mind when choosing a Ping test interval.
4-12
MEMO
The fifth tab in the UNIT SETTINGS field is Memo. This section is used to view and add notes to the
nonvolatile memory of the PDR-2000 uP module. The Memo section may be used for maintenance
logs, programming notes or anything else. Up to 4000 characters can be held in memory. Notes in the
Memo section are treated as any other setting in the UNIT SETTINGS section. They are saved, loaded
and password protected with the other settings.
To add notes to the Memo section, click the mouse in the field and the cursor will appear. Use the
keyboard to type notes as if using any Word type application. When finished, download the notes to the
unit.
To erase information, use the Backspace or Delete keys to erase the notes and download the changes
to the unit.
To download the notes into the units memory, use the DOWNLOAD SETTINGS command as described
under Downloading Software in the next part of this section. The Memo notes are downloaded with
the rest of the Software Settings so it is important to confirm that the Settings are correct
before downloading. It is recommended that the Get Settings command is used before making
changes in the Memo section.
4-13
DOWNLOADING SOFTWARE
Settings: When the changes to the settings have been completed, the DOWNLOAD SETTINGS
button will update the unit. Make sure the cable is attached and the PDR-2000’s power is on. Most
importantly, the Unit ID number must match the unit whose settings are being updated. If the
wrong Unit ID number is used, another PDR-2000 in the system may have its settings changed. The
Password under the System Settings tab must match the Password of the unit being programmed. It
is therefore suggested that different passwords are used for each unit.
When the DOWNLOAD SETTINGS button is clicked, a blue progress bar directly over the button
moves from left to right, showing the download is in progress. The words “Download Settings” will
change within the button to indicate the specific operation taking place. The new settings will take
effect immediately. When finished, a box will appear on the screen indicating that the download is
complete.
Downloading new settings does not take the PDR-2000 out of service. The settings are changed
off-line in the GUI and are only recognized by the unit when the DOWNLOAD SETTINGS button
is pressed. The PDR-2000 will continue to operate under existing settings until they are
instantaneously changed when the download of new settings is complete.
Firmware: Select the Unit ID number of the unit receiving the new firmware. It is recommended that
only local units be programmed with firmware. To change the firmware, click on the DOWNLOAD
FIRMWARE button. The GUI will ask for the source of the Firmware. Choose the drive and file name
and click OPEN. This will initiate the download of the Firmware to the unit. All firmware files have a .bin
suffix. When a GUI is loaded on a computer a copy of Firmware is added to the Program folder.
The GUI defaults to the Iniven folder when the Download Firmware button is pressed. Confirm
that the firmware version is correct or change the directory to locate the proper file. The
Password under the System Settings tab must match the Password of the unit being programmed.
The blue progress bar below the DOWNLOAD FIRMWARE button will show the status of the download.
A Download Complete message will indicate the process is finished. It is necessary to turn the main
power switch on the front of the PDR-2000 Off and On for the new Firmware to be installed. A
message will appear on the display of the unit that the new firmware is loading. When the new firmware
is finished loading the unit must be restarted again. If the unit fails to update the new firmware at any
point during the process, the old firmware will be maintained.
Altera Code: The PDR-2000 uses an Altera PLD (programmable logic device) that contains hard
coded logic. Updates may require the Altera settings to be changed. If it is required to change the
Altera code (as instructed by Iniven), use the DOWNLOAD FIRMWARE button. The password of the
unit must be entered along with the Unit ID number. It is recommended that only local units be
programmed with new Altera code. After pressing the DOWNLOAD FIRMWARE button, use the down
select arrow to select .pof files instead of .bin files. Select the source of the file and press Enter. Altera
code files have a .pof suffix. Follow the prompts on the computer and PDR-2000 displays. The unit will
have to be turned off and on.
If new versions of firmware or Altera code is supplied, any additional instructions provided by Iniven
take precedence over this write-up.
4-14
SAVING SETTINGS
Settings from a unit or from the GUI can be saved and loaded later from a disk drive.
Saving: If Settings are to be saved on a disk, they must first be loaded onto the GUI. With the GUI
communicating with a unit via a RS-232 port, select the proper Unit ID number from the pull down
menu on the top left corner of the System Configuration screen, then click the Get Settings button. The
settings are now loaded on the GUI. If the Settings were created on the GUI and are being saved, follow
the same procedure.
Click on the Save button. Choose the Directory of the disk drive the file is to be saved on by clicking the
down arrow next to the “Save in:” field. Next name the file. To save the file as an Iniven Unit settings file,
the file name needs to end with the .ust. If the file name does not end with .ust, it may be more difficult
to find the file when it comes time to load it. Click the Save button to save the settings to disk.
Loading: To load a saved Settings file from disk click, choose the Unit ID number of the unit to be
programmed and press the Load button. Choose the disk drive and directory using the down arrow
next to the “Look in” field. If the file was saved with the .ust suffix ( Iniven Unit settings), then use the
“Files of type:” Iniven Unit settings files (*.ust). If the Settings file is save as any other type, use the
down arrow next to “Files of type:” to select All files (*.*). Select the file and click Open. The settings
will be loaded into the GUI, replacing any Settings that were there previously.
Once the Settings are loaded to the GUI, they may be manipulated and downloaded to a PDR-2000.
NOTE: The Unit ID number is saved along with the settings and are attached to the Memo notes. If a
Unit ID number is used other then the number that was used to configure the settings, the Memo notes
will not be loaded from the saved file with the settings. The Memo notes will only load when the Unit ID
number of the unit matches the Unit ID number of the unit that created the notes. The rest of the
settings can be cross loaded.
4-15
PRINT SETTINGS
The settings in the GUI may be printed in a one page report. Settings from a disk or unit need to be
uploaded to the GUI before they can be printed. To print the settings list, click on the Print button on the
right side of the System configuration screen. Follow the prompts to send the report to the desired
printer.

The receive logic on the print report is in the same format that is used for on board programming. See
Section 2, On Board Programming, for a description of the logic statement.
MODEM SETTINGS
The GUI may be used to connect a computer via a modem to the PDR-2000. The unit is designed to
connect a modem to the rear RS-232 port. Once the modem connection is established, program the
unit normally. Keep in mind that communications response will be slower.
To connect to a PDR-2000 via a modem, click on the Set Connection button on the System Configuration
screen at the top left hand corner, just below the Unit ID pull down menu.
The Connection Settings screen will appear. Select the computer’s Comm port that the modem is
connected to, using the pull down menu. Click on the SET COMM PORT button. Next, choose the
connection speed between the computer and the modem. The default setting of 115200 baud should
work for most systems. The initialization string is automatically set for a V.92 modem. If the modem
uses a different initilization string, enter next to INIT STRING. The initilization string is found in the
modem’s user manual. The dial prefix is set for a standard touch tone system with a dial tone. If a
different system is used, enter the prefix in the field next to DIAL PREFIX. The dial prefix is found in the
modem’s user manual. Enter the phone number of the modem attached to the PDR-2000 (no dashes)
and click CONNECT VIA MODEM to dial out. The PHONE # field may contain items such as 9 for an
outside line. A , will cause a pause in dialing. Click OK after the modem has connected.
Use the GUI as if connected locally to the unit. When finished, click Disconnect Modem on the System
Configuration screen.
Next to the PHONE # field is an AND button. When this button is clicked, the number in the field will be
added to the GUI’s memory and can be retrieved using the pull down arrow.
The Comm port of the computer is defaulted to Comm port 1 when connecting a PC directly to a PDR-
2000. If that is not the serial port being used, change the Comm port on the Connection Settings
screen and click SET COMM PORT. If changing from a modem to the serial port for direct connection,
it may be necessary to change the Comm port back to the serial port on this screen.
4-17
TRIP/GUARD PACKET AND OUTPUT STATUS
The sixth tab is inputs_com. This tab allows the user to see two things in the unit. The first is the
current status of the 8 receive channels, A through H, from all 99 unit ID numbers. The second is to see
the status of the 6 inputs for each of the Trip outputs.
To see the status on the local unit or any unit, the local unit is directly or indirectly communicating with,
select the Unit ID number of the unit to be queried on the upper left hand corner of the System Configu-
ration screen and press the Get Inputs button. Both sections will fill with 0’s, 1’s, and 2’s.
Channel Status: All 99 unit ID numbers will fill the Unit ID column. These are the potential Unit ID
numbers the unit could be receiving packets from. The columns to the right indicate the status of the
8 channels for each Unit ID number. A 0 indicates the channel is in Guard. A 1 indicates the channel is
in Trip. A 2 indicates the channel is blocked. If the unit is not receiving any data from a particular unit ID
number the channels should all indicate 2.
If Unit ID is Off, all Unit ID numbers will display 2 in the channel fields and Unit ID 100 will indicate the
status of the channels for all received packets since the Unit ID numbers are ignored by the logic.
This can be used as a diagnostic tool during setup or to confirm proper communications.
4-18
Output Logic Status: This section on the right of the screen is used to determine the 6 inputs’ status
for each of the 8 Trip outputs. The 6 inputs are located on the RX Logic tab. In1 is the top most input,
In2 is the input directly below and so on.
The 6 logic inputs will have a 0, 1, or 2 in the field. Unlike the Channel Status, the numbers indicate the
logic position and not a Trip, Guard, or Block. A 0 represents a logic 0 or Off state. A 1 represents a
logic 1 or On state. A 2 indicates that the input is being blocked.
If a input is set to a Guard setting, CH a-G, and the unit is receiving a guard signal, the indication would
be a 1. If the unit were receiving a Trip signal, the indication would be a 0. If the unit stopped receiving
packets from the Unit ID number assigned to CH a-G, the indication would be a 2.
The inputs_com tab is for information only and does not change any settings in the unit and does not
require a password.
4-19
4-20
Section 5 INSTALLATION
This section of the manual covers installation, unpacking, mounting and interconnect wiring instructions.
UNPACKING
The PDR-2000 may be supplied as an individual chassis, stacked interconnected chassis, or mounted
in a rack or cabinet. Follow the procedure for the type of system supplied.
INDIVIDUAL CHASSIS
An individual chassis will be packed in its own shipping carton. Inspect the carton for possible damage
in transit. Open each carton carefully and remove the chassis. Inspect the equipment for possible
damage. Verify all items of value have been removed from the carton prior to discarding the packing
material.
INTERCONNECTED CHASSIS
An interconnected chassis or equipment mounted in racks or cabinets will be shipped either in special
boxes (wood crates or via air-ride van without any case). Inspect the crate or other packaging for
possible damage in transit. Carefully remove the equipment from the container and inspect it for
damage. Verify all items of value have been removed from the crate prior to discarding any packaging
material and refer to above note.
MOUNTING
INDIVIDUAL CHASSIS
Two screws are required per mounting bracket (four total per chassis) and are not supplied with the
unit. Install the chassis in the desired location and securely tighten all four screws. Spacing of the
mounting holes is compliant with EIA and DIN standards.
SYSTEMS
Systems provided in a rack or cabinet from the factory must be secured to the floor or wall as required.
Mounting hardware is not supplied due to the various surfaces and mounting methods.
INTERCONNECTED CHASSIS
Interconnected chassis or equipment mounted on shipping rails will be mounted similarly to a single
chassis. When shipping rails are provided, the equipment is to be placed near the desired location.
Remove the screws holding the shipping rails. Slide the equipment into the rack or cabinet and secure
it with the proper screws for mating hardware being used. Tighten all screws.
5-1
NOTE: Adequate ventilation is required for reliable operation of electronic equipment. Temperatures
within the equipment room should be kept within specifications to assure reliable operation.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
User connections are made on the rear of the chassis (except for the RS-232 port on the front of the
chassis) through barrier and screw terminal blocks, communication ports (either electrical or fiber
optic) and the IRIG-B BNC connector. Refer to the end of this section or to the drawings that come with
the unit for specific wiring details.
References made to terminal blocks are via terminal block numbers. Terminal block TB-1 terminal 1 is
referred to as TB1-1. Terminal block TB-1 terminal 2 is referred to as TB1-2 and so on.
Various methods of making the connections to the terminal blocks may be used and are based on local
practice. Lugs or bare wire may be used. Make sure to tighten all connections and insure exposed
wires and/or lugs do not touch each other or the chassis.
To reduce the possibility of induced currents on the Trip input leads, it is recommended that shielded
twisted pair wires are used with the shield grounded at the PDR-2000 end only. The Trip input leads
and the communication cables should be bundled separately from each other and the other leads. It is
recommended that the mounting rack be grounded.
TRIP INPUT
The Trip input current is limited to 10 ma. A resistor in series with the optical isolator on each of the Trip
inputs is used to limit the current. To produce a Trip, the battery voltage must be within 50% of the input
battery voltage.
NOTE: The term Trip input is used to indicate the command input circuits. The inputs may be used for
Guard inputs, blocking schemes, or any other type of input.
TRIP OUTPUT
The Trip outputs can be used singularly or in parallel. If optional dry contact relays are included,
jumpers are on the modules to convert them from form A to form B. See Section 17 Options for details.
NOTE: The term Trip output is used to indicate the output circuits used by the receive logic. The
outputs may be used for Guard indications, blocking schemes, or any other type of output.
STATUS RELAYS
There are ten status relay alarms each with a single set of SPST jumper selectable form A or form B
contacts. All of the status relays are energized during normal operation. See Section 13 Status Relay
Module or Section 12 DC/DC Module for details.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS
If the unit was supplied with an electrical 64 Kbps connector (RS-449 or G.703), make sure the cable’s
connector is properly seated and screwed down tightly. If only one Com port is being used, make note
of the port number for programming purposes and turn off the unused port.
5-2
The DTE RS-232 is located on the rear panel and the pin locations are shown in Figure 5-1. Make sure
the cable’s connector is properly seated and screwed down tightly.
The IRIG-B connector is a male BNC. The internal clock will accept standard modulated IRIG-B signals.
GROUNDING THE EQUIPMENT IS IMPORTANT FOR BOTH SAFETY REASONS AND RELIABLE
OPERATION. Connect a 16 AWG or larger wire between chassis ground and earth ground utilizing
the shortest path to keep resistance and inductance to a minimum. It is also recommended that the
rack be grounded.
uP MODULE
The microprocessor module has two ribbon cables connected to the front panel Figure 5-2 shows the
proper connections to the keypad and display. If a redundant uP module is being used, program the
redundant module first using a PC with the redundant module in the primary slot(the first position on
the left side of the chassis behind the front panel). After programming, a jumper must be placed
across pins 1 and 3 on the keypad plug of the redundant microprocessor. Place the redundant module
in the redundant slot(the second position from the left behind the front panel). The ribbon cables only
attach to the primary uP module. The ribbon cables are keyed and latching and should only attach one
way. Insert the primary microprocessor module and program normally. The two microprocessors
may be programmed differently.
5-3
DC CONNECTIONS
The PDR-2000 comes equipped with two DC-DC converters of the same or different values. Verify the
battery voltage matches the voltage of the individual DC-DC converters. The converters are found on
the DC-DC module.
WARNING: Double check all connections for tightness and correctness, including polarity as
applicable. Replace all protective covers supplied.
INITIAL START-UP
Each unit is checked and burned in at the factory. Verify the electrical connections as described earlier
in this section. The following procedure will set the unit for proper operation.
A flat bade screwdriver with a 1/4 inch wide tip may be required. For programming, a PC compatible
computer with a 9 pin serial port running the PDR-2000 GUI (Graphical User Interface software) and
straight extension type cable is recommended for ease of programming.
PROGRAMMING
The PDR-2000 can be programmed using a PC or the front keypad and display. It is important to
remember that the Trip logic is assigned to the Trip out circuits and not the channels. A single channel
may be used by several different Trip out circuits with the same or different logic schemes.
1. Load the Iniven GUI disc into the computer’s CD drive. Confirm the disk date corresponds with the
GUI version being used at your utility.
2. The Iniven CD may not be an Autorun application. If it is click on PDR-2000 Software and skip to
step 6. If the application does not start on it’s own Double click on My Computer.
3. Locate the CD drive and double click. The CD should be labeled Iniven.
7. The GUI will automatically create an Iniven folder in your Program Files. You may choose a different
location. Click Next to install.
9. Click Finish. A Iniven icon should have been added to the desktop. Double click the Iniven icon to
open the GUI.
5-4
Using the GUI
This is a step by step instruction for using the GUI to program a PDR-2000. For details on using the
GUI and the function of the different operations, see Section 4 Remote Programming.
2. Boot the computer being used to program the computer and load the PDR-2000 GUI.
3. Using the 9 pin M/F extension cable, connect the RS-232 port on the front panel to the serial port on
the PC.
4. Select the Unit ID number of the unit being programmed and confirm the computer is communicating
with the PDR-2000 by clicking on the Get Status button. The simulated display should replicate the
display on the front of the PDR-2000. If the Get Status failed see Section 20 Trouble Shooting.
5. If the settings currently in the unit are to be modified or if the unit is being programmed from scratch,
go to Step 6. If a saved copy of settings are to be used, skip to Step 7.
6. Upload the current settings in the unit; select the proper Unit ID number of the PDR-2000 whose
settings are to be loaded. If the Unit ID number is not correct, a remote PDR-2000 communicating with
the local PDR-2000 could be mistakenly programmed. The Unit ID number is the two digit number on
the Default Display in the upper left corner. To change the Unit ID number use the keypad and display,
follow Steps A through F. Once the Unit ID number is selected, press the Get Settings button. After a
few seconds the settings on the GUI will be updated to match those in the unit.
B. Enter the four digit password and press F1 (OK). C. Press 3 (System Setup) then F1 (OK).
F. To change the Unit ID number, enter the new Unit ID number (01 - 99 for digital applications
and 01 - 03 for audio applications) and press F1 (OK) to accept. Note the new Unit ID number.
The Unit ID number can not be changed using the GUI. Press F3 (Exit) repeatedly until the
display is on the main menu. This is important because the unit will not program from the GUI
with the display beyond the password screen. No PDR-2000 should be assigned Unit ID
number 00 due to possible conflicts with programming.
NOTE: If programming a remote PDR-2000, using a PC connected to a local unit, you will need to
know the Unit ID number of the remote PDR-2000.
Skip to Step 8
7. To load a saved copy of settings from a disk drive, click the Load button on the lower right hand side
of the System Configuration screen. The settings on the GUI will change to reflect the settings from the
saved file.
5-5
9. Confirm the Unit ID number matches that of the unit to be programmed.
10. Turn the Unit ID on/off field On unless special programming or loop back testing is to be performed.
12. If Packet Forwarding is to be used, turn it On, otherwise confirm that it is Off. Both Com ports must
be turned On in order for Packet Forwarding to work properly. Unit ID will be turned On automatically if
not already On when Packet Forwarding is turned On. Do not turn Packet Forwarding On if the
Audio Communications module is used.
13. Confirm which Com port(s) is being used and set it(them) to On. Confirm both Com ports are On
if Packet Forwarding is On. It is necessary to restart the unit after turning Com ports On or Off.
Restart the unit after the settings have been downloaded.
14. If using a RS-449 interface is being used the Invert Clock On/Off will need to be set. If the rising (or
leading) edge is used, set Invert Clock to Off. If the falling (or trailing) edge is used, set Invert Clock to
On. This feature is not used if the Com port protocol does not require timing, i.e. point to point fiber
optics, C3794 or G.703.
15. Program the Status Relay delays for Alarm, Block, LOC 1, and LOC 2 in 1.0 second intervals.
See Section 4 Remote Programming or Section 13 Status Relay Module for more details on the delay’s
function
16. Select the programmable alarms. Each alarm can be programmed for BIT error Com port 1, BIT
error Com port 2, Timeout ID, Invalid ID, Trip In, Ping Test Fail, and Trip Out. These alarms have a latch
timer that determines the duration of the relay output when one of these events occurs. Choose the
type of alarm the relay is to be set for and the latching time from the pull down menu. Ping Test Fail and
Timeout ID require a timer. The timer field will appear if either of those alarms are chosen. Program
the timer in 1 ms intervals. See Section 13 Status Relay Module for more details on the function of
these status relays.
17. Next, program the Receive Logic. Click on the RX Logic Tab. All programming for the receiver is
assigned to the Trip output relays.
18. To program the Trip outs, choose the desired input from the pull down menu. If the input is to be
inverted click on the arrow to the right of the input and a circle is added to the tip of the arrow to indicate
the input is inverted. If a Trip or Guard is selected a Unit ID field will appear. Enter the Unit ID number
of the remote unit whose channel the Trip is being received from. The inputs are gated. Program the
gates by clicking on the symbol. Each time the symbol is clicked it will change from AND, OR, then
XOR (see Figure 5-4 for symbol description). All the gates are programmed in the same way. The Trip
output then passes through the receive timer logic (described later in this section). To turn the Trip Out
Off, turn Off all six of the inputs.
5-6
Figure 5-4. RX Logic Description
Different Trip outputs can be programmed with the same Channel from the same Unit ID number for
redundant Trip outputs.
19. Click on the RX Timing Settings tab. As with the Receive Logic, the Receive Timing programs the
Trip outputs and not the Channels.
20. Click on any of the Trip Outputs that require a Pre-Trip timer to be added to the Trip Time. Enter the
new time value in 0.5 ms intervals. Make sure all eight Trip Outs are programmed correctly.
21. If Guard before Trip logic is required on any of the Trip Outs, click on the box next to the appropriate
Trip Out number to add a check mark and change the indication from Off to On.
22. Enter the duration of time that Guard must be received before a Trip will be output in the box next
to the check mark. The time may be entered in 50 ms intervals up to 1 sec. If the time is left at 0 and
Guard before Trip is On, the Guard before Trip logic is active and will require a minimum of 1 packet to
include a Guard for that Trip Out before it will allow a Trip. Make sure all Trip Outs are programmed
correctly for Guard before Trip On/Off as well as time.
23. Click on any of the Trip Outs that require a Receive Hold timer for a minimum duration of Trips.
Enter the new time value in 5 ms intervals. Make sure all eight Trip Outs are programmed correctly.
24. Click on any of the Trip Outs that require a Receive Latching timer for an additional duration of
Trips. Enter the new time value in 10 ms intervals. Make sure all eight Trip Outs are programmed
correctly.
25. Click on the TX Settings tab. Unlike the Receive Logic, the Transmit Logic ties the eight Trip inputs
directly to the channels, Trip In 1 to Channel A, Trip In 2 to channel B and so on.
26. Click on any of the Channels that require a Transmit Hold timer. Enter the new time value in 5 ms
intervals. Make sure the other Channels are programmed correctly.
27. If B Contact Keying logic is required on any of the Trip Inputs, click on the box next to the appropriate
Channel letter to add a check mark and change the indication from Off to On.
5-7
28. Enter the B Contact keying duration in the box next to the check mark. The time may be entered in
20 ms intervals. If the time is entered but the On/Off box is left Off, B Contact Keying logic will be Off.
Make sure the other Channels are programmed correctly.
29. If Auto Ping test is to be used, return to the System settings Tab.
A. In the box marked AUTO Ping Test, enter the Unit ID number of the unit to be pinged in the To
Unit ID field.
B. In the Port # field, enter which Com port the ping is to transmitted over. This will determine
the path of the test.
C. Use the pull down menu next to” Repeat every” to determine how often the test will be
generated. Choose Off to turn off the Auto Ping Test.
Every time a Ping test is generated, the results are written to the Event Recorder. Setting the
Auto Ping Test to repeat frequently will result in a large number of event records being written.
If the Audio Communications module is being used, be advised that the Ping Test is not an
accurate time of a round trip trip/guard signal due to the bandwidth restrictions. If Auto Ping
Test is used with this communication module it is advised that the test is set to repeat
infrequently as it will also increase trip times.
30. If notes are to be added to the Memo section, click on the Memo tab. Click in the field and start
typing. If notes already exist, click next to the last note to add more information. To erase notes delete
them from the field.
31. If the Audio Communications module is used in the chassis, the transmit output level must be set,
see step 5.H of the On Board Programming later in this section
32. The settings should now be complete and can be downloaded to the unit. Confirm the Unit ID
number selected on the top left of the screen matches the unit to be programmed. If the Unit ID
number is changed at this point in the process the settings will change back to default settings
on the new Unit ID number. To avoid losing the settings, save them to a disk and reload them
with the new Unit ID number already entered. Once the Unit ID number has been verified, confirm
that the correct Password (the default password is 1234) has been entered into the field on the System
Settings tab and click the Download Settings button. To change the Password, enter the new Password
in the New Password field and repeat the new Password in the Confirm New Password field. A blue
progress bar will rapidly fill the space between the Download Settings and Download Firmware buttons.
A message will confirm the download is complete.
33. If an entry in one of the fields is not acceptable by the unit a message will indicate the incorrect
settings were changed to an acceptable value. Check the timing settings if this message appears.
34. To confirm the settings have been accepted by the unit, press the Get Settings button and see if the
settings remain the same.
To confirm the Date/Time settings refer to step 5-D in the Using the Keypad and Display.
All other settings are programmed in Flash and will not be erased if the power is turned off.

This section describes remote and local system tests that can be performed manually or automatically.
Logic and communications diagnostics are also described in this section.
SYSTEM TESTS
The PDR-2000 contains two types of system tests, a Ping test and manual Trip initiation. Both types
of tests can be initiated or setup using the keypad and display. The GUI can be used to program and
initiate Ping tests only.
The first is the Ping test. The Ping test initiates a round trip test packet to a remote unit. The remote
unit automatically returns it to the originating unit, which determines if the cycle was completed and the
time required to complete the test. The unit is also capable of initiating Trip inputs manually. Ping tests
performed when using the Audio Communications module result in lengthy incorrect round trip times
due to the communication method used to transmit the packet This must be taken into account before
using Ping tests for audio systems, see Section 2, Digital Communications for more information.
ON BOARD TESTS
PING TEST: The Ping test initiates a round trip test packet to a remote unit that responds to the
originating unit. There are two types of Ping tests, manually generated and automatically generated.
No matter which type of Ping test is used the method and results are the same. For a Ping test to be
sent the unit needs to know which unit it is going to ping, this is entered in the form of the remote units
Unit ID number. The system then needs to know which port to send the test packet through, Port 1 or
2. If both ports are in use and the system is set up as a loop, the port can determine which part of the
loop the test will take. The remote unit being pinged will use the same path for the return packet. A test
will pass if the return packet is received within 500 ms. The actions required of the two units will be
time stamped on the event recorder. These are Ping Test Start, Ping Test Received, Ping Test Returned,
and Ping Test Done or Failed. These events can be used to determine channel delay time. When
performing a manual on-board test, the round trip time of the test will appear on the screen as soon as
the test is completed. The test will fail if the wrong Unit ID number is pinged, communications with the
pinged unit fails, or if the test takes too long. The default is 500 ms but that number can be changed if
one of the programmable Status Alarm relays is programmed as Ping Test Fail. If so, a new time may
be entered, see Section 4, Remote Programming for details on programming these alarms.
MANUAL PING TEST: The manual Ping test can be initiated using the keypad and display. This is a
one time test. It is located on the Diagnostics menu On the Display. The Ping test can be sent to any
PDR-2000 communicating either directly or indirectly to the initiating unit. The Ping test performs a
complete system test of the digital communications and the receive and transmit capabilities of the
PDR-2000. The Ping test also shows the results of the round trip time required to perform the test and
the communication delays involved. Because the Ping test is sent to a particular unit by only one port,
the communication delay can be determined over different paths to the same unit if a loop arrangement
is being used.

The manual Ping test has two possible results. A successful test will present a Ping test Result menu
similar to Figure 6-5. A test time will be displayed. This is the total time required to send the test packet
and have it return from the Unit ID number specified on the Ping test Destination menu. The result is
also time stamped on the event recorder. If the test packet is not returned immediately, the Ping test
Result menu’s display will read “WAIT...” instead of the test time. If the test fails completely, “TEST
FAIL” will be displayed.
6-2
NOTE: If the Ping test fails, confirm the Com port and Unit ID number and try the test again. The Ping
test failing could also be the result of a programmable Status alarm being programmed for Ping Test
Fail with a test time smaller then the time required to perform the test. The unit may also be busy
performing other requested tasks. See Section 4, Remote Programming for more details on
programmable Status alarms.
AUTOMATIC PING TEST: The Auto Ping test is the same as the manual Ping test but instead of being
a one time test it automatically repeats as programmed. The Auto Ping test writes to the event recorder
and will activate the Ping Test Fail Status alarm (if used) but does not report the duration of the test to
the display. This test in conjunction with the programmable Status relay may be used to warn of a slow
communications channel.
To setup the Auto Ping test using the keypad and display, the unit’s password is required. Start by
pressing F1 (Setup) on the Default display.

PING TEST: The Ping test initiates a round trip test packet to a remote unit that responds to the
originating unit. There are two types of Ping tests, manually generated and automatically generated.
No matter which type of Ping test is used the method and results are the same. For a Ping test to be
sent the unit needs to know which unit it is going to ping, this is entered in the form of the remote units
Unit ID number. The system then needs to know which port to send the test packet through, Port 1 or
2. If both ports are in use and the system is set up as a loop, the port can determine which part of the
loop the test will take. The remote unit being pinged will use the same path for the return packet. A test
will pass if the return packet is received within 500 ms. The actions required of the two units will be
time stamped on the event recorder. These are Ping Test Start, Ping Test Received, Ping Test Returned,
and Ping Test Done or Failed. These events can be used to determine channel delay time. The test
will fail if the wrong Unit ID number is pinged, communications with the pinged unit fails, or if the test
takes too long. The default is 500 ms but that number can be changed if one of the programmable
Status Alarm relays is programmed as Ping Test Fail. If so, a new time may be entered, see Section
3, On-Board Programming or Section 4, Remote Programming for details on programming these
alarms.
The Ping test when used with the Audio Communications module is inaccurate due to bandwidth
and the different methodogies employed, times will be much longer then the actual channel
delay.
MANUAL PING TEST: The manual Ping test can be initiated using the GUI. This is a one time test. It
is located on the System Settings tab of the System Configuration Screen. The Ping test can be sent
to any PDR-2000 communicating either directly or indirectly to the initiating unit. The computer running
the GUI must be connected to the initiating unit. The Ping test performs a complete system test of the
digital communications and the receive and transmit capabilities of the PDR-2000. The Ping test also
shows the results of the round trip time required to perform the test and the communication delays
involved. Because the Ping test is sent to a particular unit by only one port, the communication delay
can be determined over different paths to the same unit if a loop arrangement is being used.
To initiate the manual Ping test using the GUI, start by loading the GUI and connecting the computer to
the PDR-2000 that will initiate the test. The computer may be connected directly using the front RS-
232 port or remotely using the rear port. The Ping data is entered in the box with the blue text below the
Auto Ping Test box. Enter the Unit ID number of the Unit to be Pinged (in the field next to Initiate to ID)
and the port in which the test packet will be sent from (using the pull down menu). By selecting
different ports, the differing communication delays can be determined in a loop configuration.
After the information has been entered correctly click the blue letters, as the box is the button. This
initiates the Ping test. To look at the results, retrieve the data from the event recorder, see Section 7,
Event Recording for more details. Subtract the time between Ping Test Start and Ping Test Done to
determine the round trip time of the test. Remember that the most recent event is listed first.
NOTE: If the event recorder indicates that the Ping test failed, confirm the Com port and Unit ID and try
the test again. The Ping test failing could also be the result of a programmable Status alarm being
programmed for Ping Test Fail with a test time smaller then the time required to perform the test. See
Section 3, On-Board Programming or Section 4, Remote Programming for more details on
programmable Status alarms.
6-6
AUTOMATIC PING TEST: The Auto Ping test is the same as the manual Ping test but instead of being
a one time test it automatically repeats as programmed. The Auto Ping test writes to the event recorder
and will activate the Ping Test Fail Status alarm (if used) but does not report the duration of the test to
the display. This test in conjunction with the programmable Status relay may be used to warn of a slow
communications channel.
To set up the Auto Ping test, enter the Ping information in the Auto Ping Test box on the System Settings
screen. Click on the To Unit ID field and enter the Unit ID number of the remote unit to be pinged. Enter
the port number and the time interval of the tests using the pull down menus. The time interval (Repeat
Every) choices are not linear.
NOTE: The Auto Ping Test instructions are downloaded using the Download Settings Command. It is
strongly recommended that the settings be uploaded from the unit before the Auto Ping test commands
are modified to prevent accidentally erasing settings or memo notes.
Enter the password and click on Download Settings, see Note above. The automatic testing will start
and repeat at the interval selected until the test is turned off by reprogramming the Auto Ping test with
the time interval set to the Off position.
6-7
COMMUNICATION AND LOGIC DIAGNOSTICS
The sixth tab on the System Configuration screen is inputs_com. This tab allows the user to see two
things in the unit. The first is the current status of the 8 receive channels, A through H, from all 99 unit
ID numbers. The second is to see the status of the 6 inputs for each of the Trip outputs.
To see the status on the local unit or any unit the local unit is directly or indirectly communicating with,
select the Unit ID number of the unit to be queried on the upper left hand corner of the System Configu-
ration screen and press the Get Inputs button. Both sections will fill with 0’s, 1’s, and 2’s.
Channel Status: All 99 unit ID numbers will fill the Unit ID column. These are the potential Unit ID
numbers the unit could be receiving packets from. The columns to the right indicate the status of the
8 channels for each Unit ID number. A 0 indicates the channel is in Guard. A 1 indicates the channel is
in Trip. A 2 indicates the channel is b locked. If the unit is not receiving any data from a particular unit
ID number the channels should all indicate 2.
If Unit ID is Off, all Unit ID numbers will display 2 in the channel fields and Unit ID 100 will indicate the
status of the channels for all received packets since the Unit ID numbers are ignored by the logic.
This can be used as a diagnostic tool during setup or to confirm proper communications.
6-8
Output Logic Status: This section on the right of the screen is used to determine the 6 inputs’ status
for each of the 8 Trip outputs. The 6 inputs are located on the RX Logic tab. In1 is the top most input,
In2 is the input directly below and so on.
The 6 logic inputs will have a 0, 1, or 2 in the field. Unlike the Channel Status, the numbers indicate the
logic position and not a Trip, Guard, or Block. A 0 represents a logic 0 or Off state. A 1 represents a
logic 1 or On state. A 2 indicates that the input is being blocked.
If a input is set to a Guard setting, CH a-G, and the unit is receiving a guard signal, the indication would
be a 1. If the unit were receiving a Trip signal, the indication would be a 0. If the unit stopped receiving
packets from the Unit ID number assigned to CH a-G, the indication would be a 2.
The inputs_com tab is for information only and does not change any settings in the unit and does not
require a password.

6-10
Section 7 EVENT RECORDING
The PDR-2000 has an Event Recorder built in to the uP module. The Event Recorder time stamps all
activity that takes place in the unit. Events include all Trip and Guard inputs and outputs, status relay
activation, password access, and initial power on. Events are time stamped by the internal clock with
battery backup that receives its timing from either a manual input or a standard modulated IRIG-B input
from a GPS clock. Events may be retrieved using the keypad and display or the GUI.
EVENTS
The standard events that are recorded are listed in Table 7-1.
The following are one time events and are written once as the activity occurs and there is no follow up
event to indicate the situation has changed from On to Off :
ON/OFF EVENTS
The following events are written once for the On event and once for the Off event. Trip Outputs and Trip
Inputs write the same event, but indicate a change of status on the far right column of the event
recorder under the “prev” and “now” columns. A 1 indicates On and a 0 indicates Off. A 0 in the prev
column with a 1 in the now column indicates the Trip Input or Output is turning On. The rest of the listed
events below have an On (or no indication) or Off indication.
TIMEOUT ID
A Time Out From ID # event is written when a remote unit’s ID number is in the Receive Logic and
packets have stopped being received from that unit. If a packet has not been received with the Unit ID
number required by the RX Logic for 500 ms (default), the event is written. If this event is chosen as a
Programmable alarm on the Status Relay module, this time can be changed as part of the alarm
settings, see Section 13 Status Relay Module for more details on the programming and function of
programmable alarms.
Once the timeout event has been written for a particular Unit ID number, it will not be rewritten until it is
reset. A valid packet from the remote unit is required to reset the timeout alarm. A Time Out Off ID #
will be written when the valid packet is received. Each ID number used in the RX Logic is capable of
generating this alarm. A timeout from one ID does not prevent another unit ID number from also timing
out.
7-2
BIT ERROR DETECTION
Bit error detection is handled differently then all other events. When a packet is received and a bit error
is present and detected by the CRC, the unit starts counting packets. When 1000 packets have been
received, the unit determines how many packets were found to have bit errors and writes this as an
event. Bit Error Channel 1 12 with the last number being the percentage of bad packets received in the
last 1000. The time recorded with the event is from the last of the 1000 packets. The PDR-2000 will
not start counting again until at least 1 bad packet due to bit error is received.
INVALID ID
Only when a unit’s System Settings have Unit ID On and Packet Forwarding Off is it possible to receive
an Invalid ID event. If a packet is received that has a Unit ID number that does not reside in the Receive
Logic the Invalid ID event is triggered. This event is written every time a invalid packet is received. To
limit the number of events written, as to not write the same event every few milliseconds, the event
recorder will only write the Invalid ID event up to 20 times. This event will not reset until the invalid
packets cease even though the event recorder has stopped writing the event. Once the invalid packets
stop being received, any new invalid packets will trigger the alarm again.
DELAYED EVENTS
Four of the Status alarms may be programmed for the delay of the output relay. Two of those alarms,
Alarm and Block, also delay their being logged in the Event Recorder. The same delays programmed
for these alarms are used for both the dry contact and the Event Recorder. The advantage of the delay
is to avoid excessive amounts of events being written due to bit errors. Since a bit error causes a CRC
fail and thus can block the communications, a Block and Alarm event could be written if no delay is
programmed. The delay determines a minimum amount of alarm must be present before the contact
closes and the event is logged.
The other two Status Alarms programmable for delay (LOC 1 and LOC 2) are delayed only for the dry
contact output. Both LOC (loss of communication) alarms are logged immediately.
PROGRAMMABLE ALARMS
Two Status alarms are programmable for different types of events. The choices are Bit Error 1, Bit
Error 2, Invalid ID, Timeout ID, Trip In, Ping Test Fail, and Trip Out. These alarms are activated from the
Event Recorder. Two of the events are time based, Timeout ID and Ping Test Fail. The normal amount
of time allowed by these events before a fail condition is recognized is 500 ms. For Timeout ID, if a
packet from a remote unit whose ID is in the receive logic of the local unit for 500 ms, the associated
Trip output relay is blocked and the event is written. For Ping Test Fail, if the ping is not returned form
the remote unit in 500 ms, the test fails and the event is written. If the programmable Status alarm is
assigned to one of these two events, the default time of 500 ms may be changed to a smaller amount
of time to determine a failure. The event recorder and the alarm will operate using the new time.
See Section 13 Status Relay Module for more details on the programming and function of programmable
alarms.
7-3
DELAYED EVENTS
Four of the Status alarms may be programmed for the delay of the output relay. Two of those alarms,
Alarm and Block, also delay their being logged in the Event Recorder. The same delays programmed
for these alarms are used for both the dry contact and the Event Recorder. The advantage of the delay
is to avoid excessive amounts of events being written due to bit errors. Since a bit error causes a CRC
fail and thus can block the communications, a Block and Alarm event could be written if no delay is
programmed. The delay determines a minimum amount of alarm must be present before the contact
closes and the event is logged.
The other two Status Alarms programmable for delay (LOC 1 and LOC 2) are delayed only for the dry
contact output. Both LOC (loss of communication) alarms are logged immediately.

The PDR-2000 GUI will run on any standard Windows operating system. The nine pin RS-232 located
on the front panel is a DCE port. A male/female nine pin cable is required to connect a standard PC’s
nine pin serial port to the PDR-2000 (a null modem cable is not required). The nine pin RS-232 located
on the back of the chassis is a DTE port designed to be connected to a modem or other communication
device. The RS-232 cable can be connected with the unit ON or OFF and the software can be started
before or after the cable has been connected. The GUI will not operate properly unless connected to
the unit.
With the GUI running on your computer, click on the EVENTS tab on the top left hand side of the
screen.
Upload Events: To upload the events from the Flash on the uP module, start by selecting the proper
Unit ID number from the pull down menu of the unit whose events are to be uploaded. The unit can be
the PDR-2000 that is connected to the computer or a unit communicating directly or indirectly with that
PDR-2000. Next, use the pull down menu for the COMMAND field and select the number of events to
be uploaded. Click on the Send button. The events will appear on the list in chronological order.
NOTE: The PDR-2000 is capable of holding up to 40,000 events in Flash before overwriting the
previous events. The Event Recorder software in the GUI only allows up to 1000 events to be uploaded.
If more then 1000 events need to be uploaded, please have your company representative contact
INIVEN for a version of the GUI designed for that purpose.
7-5
Figure 7-5. Example of Events
The more events that are to be uploaded the longer the process takes. If the events are being uploaded
from a remote unit the process will be longer and if the events are being forwarded through other units
the process will be longer still. The blue progress bar below the send button will continue to move
during the upload process. The progress bar may move across its length several times.
Each event shows the Event number starting with 1 (the most recent event), time of the event, the type
of event and for Trip Inputs and Outputs, whether their status is changing from On to Off or Off to On.
“Prev” indicates the status of the Input/Output before the event and “Now” shows its status after the
event has occurred. 1 indicates On and 0 indicates Off.
NOTE: Packet Forwarding does not need to be On for the GUI to upload events or erase Flash from a
PDR-2000 indirectly. That type of Packet Forwarding is always On. Therefore, it is always important
to confirm the Unit ID before communicating with a unit.
When events are uploaded from the unit, they are always uploaded in order from most recent on. Any
sorting that is performed is done after the events are loaded onto the computer.
Sort Events: Once the events are listed, they may be sorted by event type and/or date and time. Use
the pull down menu under Event Type and select the Event to be sorted. If the event is also to be
sorted by time and date, click on the box next to Select events From/To so that a check mark appears
to activate the calendar. Use the calendar selector to sort by date. The left and right arrows on the
calendar choose the month and the year, clicking on the day changes the day. To change the time of
the sort, use the clock field below the calendar and click on the Hour, Minute, or Second fields.
7-6
Change the time using the up and down arrows or type in the number using the PC’s keypad. “To” is
the most recent time and “From” is the starting point of the sort. Use the pull down menus under To/
From to pick the day. Click on the clock’s hour, minute, second or AM/PM and use the up and down
arrows to adjust the setting. Click the Select button to sort. Only events meeting the sort’s criteria will
be listed.
Print Events: Use the Print button to send the list to a printer. Select the printer from the pull down
menu and click OK.
Save Events: Use the Save button to save the list to a disk. When saving to disk, click the Save
button, then select the drive and assign a file name, then click Save.
To view the list from the saved file, use a text program, Microsoft Notepad and Microsoft Word are
recommended. The events will not reload to the GUI once saved.
Erase Events: To Erase all the events stored in the Flash, click the ERASE EVENTS FLASH button.
A blue bar will show the progress of the process. The password is required on the System Configuration
tab in order to erase the events in the flash.
NOTE: Using the ERASE EVENTS FLASH will erase all the events held in the PDR-2000’s memory
not just those listed on the GUI.
To clear the screen without erasing the memory in the unit, select Clear List from the Event Type pull
down menu and click the Select button.
TIME STAMPING
Each event stored in the Event Recorder is stamped with a time of when the event took place. An
internal clock with a battery backup is used to stamp these events. The internal clock’s time is set one
of two ways, either the time can be manually entered via the keypad and display or the clock receives
a continuously updated GPS signal from a modulated IRIG-B input. Either way the time should be
entered manually when the unit is initially installed or when the battery is replaced since the standard
IRIG-B format used by the PDR-2000 does not supply a year. The clock will automatically use the
IRIG-B signal if it is detected by the microprocessor module.
The keypad and display of the PDR-2000 allows for the time to be entered manually. It is also the only
way for the unit to receive the proper year input. To enter the time manually, follow the sequence below.

necessary. Press F1 to enter the new date/time or press F4 to exit without changing the clock.
7-8
The clock will continue to keep it’s own time unless a new time is entered or if an IRIG-B signal is input
in which case it will automatically update using the IRIG-B signal.
IRIG-B
The PDR-2000 comes equipped with a BNC connector to receive a standard modulated IRIG-B input
from a GPS clock. It is necessary to enter the year manually when first installing the unit or when
replacing the clock’s battery. The battery powers the clock when the main system power is turned off
or lost.
The internal clock automatically tries to update from the IRIG-B signal at Power On. If the signal should
cease, the internal clock will maintain the time until a new time is entered manually or the GPS signal
resumes, in which case it will automatically update.

Section 9 MICROPROCESSOR MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The Microprocessor module (uP module) controls all the functions of the PDR-2000. The module has
the interfaces and controllers for the Keypad and Display. It runs the software for the Firmware and
settings that control the operations of the entire chassis. The event recorder and Flash memory reside
on this module as well. The uP module also generates and receives all digital communications,
synchronous and asynchronous.
The PDR-2000 is capable of running a primary uP module, or primary and redundant uP modules
simultaneously. The primary is connected to the keypad and display. If the primary uP should fail, it is
detected by the redundant module and protection is continued uninterrupted. The display will turn off
but the unit continues to function. The Status Relay module contains the uP module failure relay.
The uP module(s) are located behind the keypad and display in the first two slots on the left, the
primary on the left and the redundant on the right.
9-1
THEORY OF OPERATION
HARDWARE
The system contains a soft-core processor running at 100 Mhz. The processor resides internally
within the FPGA. The main system components are:
1) Flash Memory
2) SDRAM
3) Altera FPGA
4) Real-Time Clock
5) Ethernet
FLASH MEMORY
The flash memory is used to store both the system executable code, as well as, settings and event
storage. The system code occupy the first 40 blocks of the flash memory and can be reprogrammed
while in system. The following blocks store the events and are constantly updated while the system is
running. The flash memory is mapped into the processor address space at 0x400000.
SDRAM
The SDRAM is used as temporary storage for the system variables. At boot-up the code is loaded
from the flash into the SDRAM to enhance execution performance.
ALTERA FPGA
The Altera FPGA is used to communicate with all other external peripherals including:
1) Trip Inputs
2) Trip Outputs
3) IRIG-B
4) Synchronous Ports
5) Asynchronous Ports
6) Display
7) Keypad
8) Redundancy Checking
The FPGA is loaded via a serial EPROM (EPCS1) which contains the Altera Firmware.
TRIP INPUTS
The Trip inputs are fed to the Altera via the rear connector. The processor can read the state of the
input Trips via a predefined register.
TRIP OUTPUTS
The Altera asserts the appropriate Trip outputs when the Trip output register is written to by the processor.
9-2
SYNCHRONOUS AND ASYNCHRONOUS PORTS
The Altera contains 4 USARTS which can be configured by the processor for the appropriate mode of
operation and baud rate. Each USART contains a 128 byte transmit and a 128 byte receive buffer.
KEYPAD
The keypad is a matrix type keypad with 4 drive lines and 6 scan lines. The Altera is responsible for
controlling the drive lines and reading the scan lines. The processor then in turn queries the Altera and
decodes the appropriate key.
REDUNDANCY CHECKING
The system configured to be the slave system monitors the ALIVE signal to ensure that the master(or
primary) is running. During this mode of operation the Altera prevents all outputs and only the inputs
are monitored. If the ALIVE signal is no longer received the Altera switches to master mode and
notifies the processor via a register. The ALIVE signal is not generated if the primary microprocessor
module should lose power or if the watchdog timer built into the FPGA discovers any of the internal
processes have ceased.
ETHERNET
SOFTWARE
The system uses Real Time Operating System (RTOS) to support a number of processes which
control various aspects of the system. The RTOS supports task prioritizing in order to ensure timely
responses to outside data. In the event of a memory corruption, the Operating System can detect and
restart the unit.
9-3
CONNECTIONS
The uP module connects to the Keypad and Display via ribbon cables. The devices receive power and
instructions from the uP module. The primary uP module is connected to the Keypad and Display as
shown in figure 9-2. The ribbon cables are keyed and latch into position. The latch must be firmly
pressed to release the ribbon cable.
REDUNDANT uP MODULE
As an option, the PDR-2000 can be equipped with a redundant uP module. The redundant uP module
is to the right of the primary module in the chassis. The two modules are identical boards. If a
redundant uP module is used it must be programmed and installed separately.
When programming a PDR-2000 with two uP modules, both modules need to be programmed
individually from the primary slot. It is not necessary to attach the ribbon cable to program the uP
module using the GUI. Program the redundant module. Turn off the power. Remove the redundant
module. Insert a jumper on pins 1 and 3 of the keypad connector of the redundant microprocessor.
Insert the primary and redundant uP module. Turn the power on and program the second module with
the same or different settings. Power off the unit and insert both modules. Be sure to place the
primary module on the left slot and connect the ribbon cables. When the unit is on and both modules
are operational, the primary uP module performs all functions but both modules record all events. In
the case of a uP module failure, the Status relay (uP Fail) will close and the remaining module will
stamp the event and continue operating the unit without interruption. If the primary uP module should
fail, the Keypad and Display will stop functioning.
The uP modules contain a Watch Dog Timer that monitors all the processes that take place in the
FPGA. If any of the processes should stop for any reason, the Watch Dog Timer will reinitialize the uP
module. If a redundant uP module is used, the primary uP module will attempt to reinitialize while the
redundant uP module assumes the microprocessing duties.

DESCRIPTION
The Com module controls the interface between the two Com ports located on the rear of the
chassis and the uP module. The Com module must match the Com ports. This instruction sheet
describes the RS-422 Com module that communicates through a pair of RS-449 ports. This
module is designed to interface with one or two 64 Kbps slots of a DS0 channel. The transceiver
chips are rated to withstand 15 KV of ESD. The optoisolators provide 5 KV isolation from input to
output.
THEORY OF OPERATION
Each Com circuit consists of 1 transmit, 1 receive, 1 transmit timing and 1 receive timing circuit.
The transmit circuit performs the following function: data is input to a U2A, a Schmidt trigger, it is
then inverted and fed through a resistor to U4, an optoisolator. The signal is then input to U12, an
RS-422 transceiver, and converted to RS-422 levels. The receive, transmit timing and receive
timing circuits all perform the same function but in the reverse direction.

Section 10.1 COMMUNICATIONS I/O MODULE - V.35/RS-530
DESCRIPTION
The Communication I/O module is the physical connection on the back of the chassis. The
Communications I/O module acts as the interface between external wiring and the Communications
module. The dual V.35/RS-530 contains interface has two 25 pin D-sub RS-530 Interface connectors
with associated circuitry. This module is used in conjunction with the RS-422 Com module. An optional
external interface cable can provide the conversion between RS-530 and V.35. These two standards
share the identical data, timing and control signals. The performance and voltage isolation specifications
for the RS-422 Com module apply to this interface.
To operate the RS-422 Com module with a V.35 or RS-530 protocol the V.35/ RS-530 Communication
I/O module must be used. Depending on the requirements of the DCE equipment being used there are
several jumper settings on the I/O module that may be changed. Each communication port may be set
differently. To access the jumpers the Com I/O module needs to be removed from the chassis. For
instructions on how to remove the Com I/O module, see Section 16, Chassis.
10-1
The jumpers, J3, J4, J6, and J7 are used to set the control signals from the DCE for each Com port.
Each jumper can be set to Logic, DSR, CTS, or DCD. When set to Logic, the port outputs a constant
logic 1 (on), on the DTR or RTS output. When the jumper is set to DSR, CTS, or DCD, the DTR or
RTS outputs will mimic the input from the selected pin. See Table 10.1.1 for Jumper selection.
Jumper 8 is used to select the ground of the DCE. When the shunt is placed across the CGND pins,
connector ground is selected. When SGND is selected, signal ground is used.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The Com I/O module on the back of the chassis passes the data and timing signals between the Com
board (RS-422) and the RS-530 connectors, but develops the DTE control signals locally. The DCE
provides three control signals to the DTE: DSR (Data Set Ready), CTS (Clear To Send) and DCD
(Data Carrier Detect). The Com I/O module can use any one of these or a locally developed logic “1’
as a source to drive the DTE signals RTS (Request to Send) and DTR (Data Terminal Ready). The
sources of the two signals for each of the two com ports are independently chosen using the four
jumpers on four headers on the board. An additional jumper on the board is used to select whether
local signal ground is connected to either the DCE signal ground or the RS530 shield ground.

Section 10 COMMUNICATIONS MODULE - G.703/C37.94/FIBER OPTIC
DESCRIPTION
The Com module controls the interface between the two Com ports located on the rear of the chassis
and the uP module. The Com module’s protocol setting must match the Com ports. This instruction
sheet describes the G.703/C37.94/Fiber Optic Com module that communicates through a pair of 25
pin D-sub ports for G.703 or fiber optic interfaces for C37.94 or point to point fiber optic communications.
One of the three protocols are selected using jumpers on JP1 and JP3.
To operate using the G.703 protocol, the six jumpers on JP1 should be inserted between the center
pins and the row of pins indicated by the marking “G.703”. A jumper on JP3 should be inserted in the
first position on the left strapping the dual row connector indicated by the “G.703” marking. In normal
operation (communications through another device, i.e a multiplexer) the second jumper is inserted in
the “SHORT” position. If two PDR-2000’s are wired directly together using the G.703 protocol, one unit
must be set in the “LONG” position and the other unit is strapped in the “SHORT” position. If units are
in a string, a “LONG” unit talks to a “SHORT” unit which in turn talks to a “LONG” unit.
For operation using the C.37.94 protocol, the six jumpers on JP1 strap the center row of pins and the
row indicated by the “C37.94” marking. JP3 requires two jumpers. One should strap the two rows in
the second position from the left, indicated by the marking “C37.94”. A second jumper needs to strap
10-1
the two rows in the third position from the left on JP3 indicated by the “SHORT” marking.
For point to point fiber optic operation set the JP1 jumpers the same as C37.94. JP3 requires two
jumpers. The first should strap the two rows in the second position from the left, indicated by the
marking “C37.94”. On one unit the second jumper must be set in the “LONG” position and the remote
unit is strapped in the “SHORT” position. If units are in a string, a “LONG” unit talks to a “SHORT” unit
which in turn talks to a “LONG” unit.
THEORY OF OPERATION
G.703
In G.703 mode, the board provides two 64 Kb interface channels between the processor board and two
electrical 25 pin D-sub connectors on the rear of the chassis. Each channel consists of a conversion
from the microprocessor output to G.703 protocol and from G.703 to the microprocessor input. Both
communication channels operate independently and have seperate microprocessor I/O’s.
Output signals from the microprocessor module are clocked into the Com module and converted to
the self-synchronized format of G.703 inside the Altera FPGA. There are two FPGA outputs for each
channel, one for positive pulses and one for negative pulses. These are transistor amplified and
applied to opposite ends of a transformer primary in order to provide an isolated, balanced G.703
output.
Input signals from each G.703 interface are transformer coupled to generate two single ended data
streams: one for positive pulses and one for negative pulses. These are rectified and amplified to
LVTTL levels and sent to the FPGA where they are decoded into a LVTTL pulse stream. The outputs
are sent to the microprocessor module at 64 Kbps.
C37.94
In C37.94 mode, the board provides two 64 Kb(n x 1) interface channels between the processor board
and four 850 nm multimode fiber heads(2 transmit and 2 receive) on the rear of the chassis. Each
channel consists of a conversion from the microprocessor output to C37.94 protocol and from C37.94
. 10-2
Figure 10-3. C37.94 Fiber Interface Drawing
to the microprocessor input. Both communication channels operate independently and have seperate
microprocessor I/O’s.
Output signals from the microprocessor module are clocked into the Com module and converted to
the self-synchronized C37.94 format inside the Altera FPGA. The resulting signal is sent to the fiber
optic interface module on the rear panel of the PDR-2000 where the electrical signal to optical conversion
takes place.
Input signals from each fiberoptic interface are sampled by the FPGA on the Com module and converted
to a bit stream. The result is output to the microprocessor module at 64 Kbps.
The PDR-2000 uses a modified version of the C37.94 protocol that does not require synchronization
from a multiplexer. By employing the same method as the C37.94 protocol but using the crystal
oscillator located on the Com module, two PDR-2000’s can be connected directly.
Any type of fiber optic heads may be used with this protocol: 850 multimode, 1310 multimode, 1310
singlemode, or 1550 singlemode. Both LED and laser transmitters are available and supplied according
to the customer’s requirements.
Whether using G.703 or C37.94, data is sent to both Com ports simultaniously and “broadcast”. Received
data is treated independently. The failure of one Com port or the communication line connected to that
port is diagnosed seperately from the other and does not effect the operation of the other.
Both G.703 and point to point fiber formats provide their own timing signals, allowing for a loop back
test. Either a fiber optic loop back cable or a G.703 loop back test header(available from Iniven) should
be used to perform a true loop back test.
When performing a loop back test, the Unit ID feature must be turned Off in order for the unit to be able
to Trip itself. By turning the Unit ID Off, the receive logic ignores the Unit ID number assigned to each
input and will follow the rest of the programmed logic allowing the unit to Trip itself. It is important to
remember to turn Unit ID On before putting the unit back into service. The Unit ID Off alarm on the
Status Relay module will be activated when Unit ID is turned Off.

Section 10 COMMUNICATIONS MODULE - AUDIO (4 WIRE)
DESCRIPTION
The Com module controls the interface between the Com Interface module located on the rear of the
chassis and the uP module. The Com module’s protocol setting must match the Com Interface
module. This instruction sheet describes the Audio Communications module that communicates
through terminal blocks to a 4 wire audio line with 600 ohm impedance. This module is used where
traditionally a FSK (Frequency Shift Keyed) system would have been employed. The standard frequency
range of the Analog Modem module is 300 to 3240 Hz.
The Audio Communications module uses an OFDM protocol at 6.6 Kbaud to transmit the PDR-2000’s
digital signal over any 4 wire voice grade audio circuit. The module uses multiple streams of data at
different frequencies to assure proper transmission of data even in the presence of noise. The use of
error correcting codes further enhances the modules ability to operate in the presence of noise.
By using a digital signal instead of a traditional FSK signal, the PDR-2000 can take advantage of the full
8 channel tripping capacity and increase security well beyond the ability of FSK terminals. Typical trip
times are 14 ms.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The Modem uses OFDM to transmit digital data over an analog line. Each OFDM channel utilizes a
coherently demodulated PSK signal. The use of OFDM techniques minimizes on both Inter symbol
interference as well as nonlinearities in the signal path. Pilot tones within the OFDM structure are used
to synchronize the receiver to the transmitter for both symbol and carrier frequency offset.
10-1
Figure 10-2. Security and Dependability Charts
Modulator
The modulator receives 32 bits of data from the input channel. The 8 bit header used by the PDR-2000
with digital interfaces is not required since the syncronosation is performed by the analog signal. The
data is then scrambled and an additional 8 bit error correcting code is appended. This data is then
used to create a single OFDM frame, utilizing an FFT algorithm. The output of the FFT is then recreated
using a transformer coupled Digital to Analog Converter. The output level can be configured using
settings controlled on the front display panel and keyboard.
Demodulator
The input signal is first digitized using a 16bit transformer coupled Analog to Digital converter. This
minimizes any requirements for manual gain adjustments.
The demodulator synchronizes on the input data stream and checks for the validity of the pilot tones.
If the pilot tone is of proper power and the receiver is synchronized, the demodulator performs an
inverse FFT on the input OFDM symbol and demaps the data into a digital bit-stream.
10-2
Security and Dependability
The Analog Communications module uses a technique that allows the data stream to pass a large
amount of data over an analog phone line quickly with the highest levels of security, by utilizing the
entire bandwidth of the line to send data. The normal operating range is 300 to 3280 Hz. The bandwidth
is broken down into 22 sub-channels of approximately 140Hz bandwidth each. 20 of the sub-channels
transmit 2 bits each and 2 sub-channels are pilot tones. Because the data is sent in such small sub-
channels, line rolloff has minimal effect on the data and therefore a wider bandwidth can be used.
Rolloff in excess of 12 dB can be tolerated in the operating range. Of the 40 bits transmitted, 10 bits
are data, 10 are CRC code and 20 are Reed-Soloman error correction code. The use of Reed-
Soloman error correction code to correct any flipped or lost bits due to noise provides dependability
similar to a FSK system, and when combined with the CRC code offers security far greater.
Settings
There is one additional setting for the Audio Communications module compared to the digital
communications modules. There are several settings that must be turned off, modified, or used with
care when using this module.
The only additional setting when using this module is the transmit ouput level. This setting can only be
changed using the front display panel, located in the System Settings section, see Section 3, On
Board programming for details. The transmitter level can be set from -1 to -20 dBm. The receive
input level does not need to be adjusted.
Several settings are used differently for this module. Packet Forwarding should not be used at all
when using an audio channel. Due to the slower channel speeds there is not sufficient bandwidth to
support the extra data required of Packet Forwarding and therefore it must be turned Off. The Unit ID
is still used but due to bandwidth restrictions only Unit ID number 01, 02, and 03 are available. Since
Packet Forwarding is not available, more then 3 Unit ID numbers is not required. It is important not to
use a Unit ID number other then 1 to 3 because the system will not recognize the numbers and
therefore not operate properly.
Point to point communications of data other then trip and guard information is available but is considerably
slower then that of the digital communication interfaces. This is due to the way these packets are
transmitted, see Section 2, Digital Communications for more details. Therefore, Ping Tests are not an
accurate measure of the channel speed and will double the trip times on the channel to 20 to 24 ms.
Auto Ping Test settings will have to be considered when programming an unit with an Audio
Communications module. Using Auto Ping Test too often will slow the trip channel and is not advised.
If the Ping Test Fail alarm is used, the alarm time will have to be programmed with the additional
delays in mind. All other settings are the same.

Section 11 RS-232 MODULE
DESCRIPTION
3. Converts the IRIG-B signal input from the BNC connector on the rear of the chassis to a
digital format before passing the signal on to the uP module.
All three sections of the RS-232 module are independently isolated for 5000 V.
11-1
THEORY OF OPERATION
DCE PORT
The TD circuit (Transmit Data) takes the digital data input on J1 pin 18A and inverted by U2C and
drives optoisolator U4. The output of U4 drives U7, which converts the signal to RS-232 voltage
levels. The RS-232 signal is output at the DB9 DCE port located on the front of the module. The
RD circuit (Receive Data) reverses the process of the TD circuit, taking the RS-232 voltage levels
from the DB9 connector and converts them to 0-5 V that are fed to the uP module. The supply
voltage and I/O’s in this section of the RS-232 module are isolated for SWC and ESD protection.
DTE PORT
The TD and RD circuits in this section of the RS-232 module are identical to the DCE circuits other
then the pin location and the DB9 connecter that interfaces with this circuit is located on the rear of
the chassis and is male. The DTE pin configuration can be found on Figure 11-3. The supply
voltage and I/O’s in this section of the RS-232 module are isolated for SWC and ESD protection.
IRIG-B
The IRIG-B circuit of the RS-232 module receives a signal from the BNC connector located on the
rear of the chassis and inputs it to a one to one isolation transformer. The signal is then rectified and
fed through a 3 pole Bessel low pass filter to reduce ripple. The output of the filter equals 0 for
voltages less than 1 V or 1 for voltages greater than 3 V. The IRIG-B circuit is also protected for
SWC and ESD.

Section 12 DC/DC MODULE
12-1
DESCRIPTION
The DC/DC module contains the redundant power supplies, fuses, DC power conditioning, and voltage
protection for the PDR-2000. The station battery voltage(s) are input to the DC/DC module and
converted by the corresponding DC converter (power supply) located on the board and then distributes
the 5 V from the DC converter to the rest of the PDR-2000. The DC/DC module provides DC power
conditioning from the station battery input and from the DC converter input. Both inputs are also fused
on the module.
The DC/DC converter is normally equipped as a dual supply. Dual versions are capable of the same
or different voltage inputs. Since the DC converters convert the station battery voltage, the voltage
rating on the DC converters must match the station battery voltage.
The main power switch of the PDR-2000 is located on the front of the module.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The station battery voltage is applied to the POWER IN terminal block on the rear of the chassis. The
primary voltage is wired to POWER IN 1. The dual DC/DC module’s redundant input is wired to
POWER IN 2. Power is passed through the input fuse F1 (F6 for the redundant input). One or both
fuses will blow if there is excess current draw within the unit. Diode D1 (D4 for redundant circuit)
conducts if the polarity is reversed, blowing one or both fuses. Varistor VR1 (VR2 for redundant circuit)
absorbs input surges. Switch SW1 serves as the main power switch to the entire unit. Common
Mode transformers L1 and L4 and capacitors C1 and C2 (C7 and C8 for redundant circuit) filter
transients.
Once the station battery voltage is conditioned, it is passed to DC converter PS1 (PS2 for redundant
circuit).
The DC converter converts the station battery voltage (24, 48, 125, or 250 VDC) to +5 V. It is then
passed through F3 (F4 for the redundant circuit) and is filtered by inductor L2 (L5 for the redundant
circuit) and capacitors C3, C4, and C11 (C5, C6, and C12 for the redundant circuit), then distributed to
all the modules in the PDR-2000.
The dual DC/DC module over voltage and under voltage detectors disable the faulty supply while
providing notification to the processor board, deactivating the corresponding power fail status relay (K1
or K2), and turning off the LED (DS1 or DS2) of the disabled supply. Under voltage disables the circuits
on the Trip Out module and Status Relay module. An under voltage condition causes the DC/DC
module to turn off the DC converter until the voltage is back above 4.2 V. The DC converter will shut
down if it senses its output is above 5.5 V.

Section 13 STATUS RELAY MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The Status Relay module contains eight relays (Alarm, Block, 2 Loss of Communications, 2
programmable, Microprocessor Fail, and Unit ID Off) and eight relay driver circuits. The status relays
drives external equipment when a change in system operation status is detected. Six of the relays are
programmable for delay using the GUI or the keypad and display. All eight relays have jumpers to
change the contact wiring from form A to form B.
13-1
RELAYS
ALARM: This relay is a general alarm. If any condition exists that would activate the other Status relays
(other then the Unit ID Off alarm, Power Fail, or the Programmable alarms), the Alarm relay is energized.
The Alarm relay is programmable for delay in 1.0 second intervals, see Section 5, Installation for
programming details. The programmable delay for Alarm also delays the Event Recorder logging the
alarm event by the same amount of time, see Section 7, Event Recording for more information.
BLOCK: When a condition occurs that causes a loss of data, the Block relay is energized. A loss of
data occurs when expected packets have ceased or there are any blocks on an output logic setting.
The Block alarm will not work properly for this function if Unit ID is turned Off. The Block alarm can also
be triggered by an extended stream of bit errors (greater then 160 ms of bad packets), or internal
power being out of range. Minor blocks, such as partial communications fail or timeout ID that will
cause a B to appear on the front screen will also cause a Block alarm. It is possible to have a loss of
communications on one port and not receive a Block alarm if redundant paths are used and all applicable
packets for the programmed logic are still being received by the alternate path. In such a case the LOC
relay would be activated. The Block relay is programmable for delay in 1.0 second intervals, see
Section 5, Installation for programming details. The programmable delay for Block also delays the
Event Recorder logging the Block alarm by the same amount of time, see Section 7, Event Recording
for more information.
LOSS OF COMMUNICATIONS 1 and 2 (LOC 1, LOC 2): If no digital signal is received on Com port 1
(LOC 1) or Com port 2 (LOC 2), or BIT error is detected on one of the Com ports for more then 160 ms,
the LOC relay is energized. Turning off the Com port using the GUI or keypad and display deactivates
the corresponding relay. The LOC relays are programmable for delay in 0.5 sec intervals, see Section
5, Installation for programming details concerning relay delays and Com port On/Off.
PROGRAMMABLE ALARM 1 and 2 (Prog 1, Prog 2): These two alarms are independently programmed
to activate when one of seven events is written by the Event Recorder. These events are BIT Error 1
and 2, Timeout ID, Invalid ID, Trip In, Ping Test Fail, and Trip Out. Since the relay is triggered by an
event, it is a single pulse command that has no duration unless extended using the alarms’ latching
timers. Whatever duration the latch is set for will be the amount of time the relay and LED are activated
for, regardless the duration of the event. When using the manual reset setting for the latching timer, if
the condition that caused the alarm is still present (i.e. a steady Trip input for a Trip input alarm) when
an operator resets the alarm, the relay and LED will alarm again until the condition is cleared.
BIT Error: This event is written when one packet is detected to have an error BIT. After 1000
packets has been counted by the uP, the event is written and the relay is activated. Bit Error 1
corrisponds with Com port 1 and Bit Error 2 corrisponds with Com port 2.
Timeout ID: If the receive logic for any of the Trip outputs is programmed with an Unit ID number
whose packet is not received in the programmed period of time, the relay is activated. If the
alarm is not programmed, the default time for the Event Recorder is 500 ms. Once a timeout
has been detected for a particular unit ID number, it will not alarm again until the packets have
been received from the timed out unit and then timed out again.
Invalid ID: When the Unit ID feature is turned On and Packet Forwarding is turned Off, the relay
is activated when a packet is received with an Unit ID number that does not match any of the
Unit ID numbers programmed in the receive logic. The Invalid ID alarm will not reset until
packets with the invalid unit ID number stops being received.
Trip In: If any of the Trip input circuits are activated, the relay is activated.
13-2
Ping Test Fail: If a Ping test is generated either automatically or manually, and if it is not received
by the originating unit in less time then the time programmed, the test is considered a failure
and the relay is activated. The programmed time must allow for a round trip of the Ping test.
Ping tests take longer then normal protection communication because of the lower priority Ping
test packets have compared to Trip/Guard packets.
Trip Out: If any of the Trip output circuits are activated, the relay is activated.
MICROPROCESSOR FAIL (uP Fail): When a PDR-2000 is equipped with two uP modules, the uP
Fail alarm indicates when one of the modules has stopped functioning. If the unit is only equipped with
one uP module and it fails, all the relays will drop out. Typically a microprocessor failure with a single
uP module will cause a flashing of all the alarms as the unit attempts to reinitialize itself. If all the relays
stay on, the uP module will not reinitialize. The uP Fail relay is not programmable for delay.
UNIT ID OFF (Unit ID): When the Unit ID feature is turned Off, the alarm is activated. When Unit ID is
turned On, the alarm is deactivated.
THEORY OF OPERATION
All eight relays are form C. The jumpers (JP1-JP8) allow the corresponding relays (RL1-RL8) to act as
a normally open form A (jumper in the A-B position) or normally closed form B (jumper in the B-C
position).
For normal system operation, all status relays are energized (pulled in). If a fault is detected, the uP
module will command one or more of the relays to become de-energized (drop out). The status relays
can not be pulled in unless the +5 V is within tolerance. If microprocessing ceases or a complete loss
of power occurs, all the relays drop out.
The status relays are controlled by the uP module (Section 9, uP Module). Signals are fed to the input
gates U1 - U4. When these input lines are pulled low, the gate output goes high, dropping out the relay
it is controlling. An input of each gate is tied to a common bus. When this bus is pulled low, all status
relays will drop out. When a status relay drops out, the corresponding front panel indicator (LED)
illuminates, indicating the condition.
The circuit associated with Alarm relay K1 will be used as an example. Logic low on the Alarm input
line would force the output of gate U1A high. This will place a high on both sides of K1’s coil, causing
it to drop out. When the relay drops out, the output of inverter U5A will go low, lighting Alarm indicator
DS1.

Section 14 TRIP IN MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The Trip In module contains eight optically isolated Trip input circuits.
NOTE: One of the eight Trip In circuits is described below. The description applies to all eight,
individually.
THEORY OF OPERATION
Trip Inputs are passed through series resistor R1, which limits the input current applied to optical
isolator U1. Zener diode D1 protects the input of U1 against excess or inverted voltages. The R1 value
must be selected to correspond to the Trip In voltage. When shorted, JP1 enables U1 to output a Trip
input signal to the microprocessor module. When a Trip is received, phototransistor U1 conducts. The
output of U1 goes low creating the Trip input signal for the microprocessor module. When a Trip input
command is received, indicator DS# (the # depends on which Trip In circuit is energized) on the front
panel will illuminate.
When the optional Cut-Out Switch module (CC2256) is supplied, JP1 is in the open position, allowing
the air-gap switch to prevent U1 to output a Trip input signal to the microprocessor.

Section 15 TRIP OUT MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The Trip Out module contains eight solid state relays for driving Trip output circuits (devices) external
to the unit or optional dry contact relays in the unit. Up to two Trip Out modules can be installed in a
chassis.
NOTE: One of the eight Trip Out circuits is described below. The description applies to all eight,
individually.
THEORY OF OPERATION
Trip output instructions from the uP module are applied to the input of U9A pin 2. If supply voltages are
within limits, +5 V are applied to U9A pin 1. U9A will pass the Trip output instruction to U1, an optical
isolator, which drives transistor Q1. Q1 drives diode bridge CR1 which directs the current for Q1.
Varistor VR1 protects against high voltage transients. Front panel LED DS1 will light when a Trip
output instruction from the uP module is present. The LED’s on the front panel of the Trip Out module
only indicates the Trip output. It is possible to receive a Trip and not have it output if the logic scheme
prevents it in the uP module, i.e. Guard before Trip.
There are two Trip Out module slots available in the PDR-2000 as shown on Figure 8-1. The outputs
of the Primary Trip Out slot are connected directly to terminal blocks TB1-TB4 on the rear of
15-1
the chassis, see the Wiring Diagram located in Section 5, Installation for the exact terminal locations.
The outputs of a Trip Out module in the Secondary Trip Out slot are sent to the Option slots. If a dry
contact relay module is in an Option slot, the outputs of the Trip out module drive the relay coils. If the
solid state outputs of the Secondary Trip Out module are to be passed to terminal blocks TB1 and TB2,
a module needs to be inserted in the option slots to route the outputs. If the unit is supplied with dry
contact relay modules or a Secondary Trip Out module, see Section 17, Options for more details.

Section 16 CHASSIS
The chassis is the 19 inch rack that houses the individual modules, and the three boards on the back
of the unit . The circuit modules are inserted into the chassis in a bookshelf arrangement. The modules
interface directly with the MOTHER BOARD. The MOTHER BOARD is connected to the INTERFACE
BOARD which in turn is connected to the TERMINAL BLOCK BOARD. The three back boards use a
series of connectors and screws to install to the rack and are not designed to be disassembled by the
user. Please contact INIVEN if any assistance is required regarding these boards.
The chassis complies with EIA dimensional standards and occupies three rack units (5.25 inches) of
vertical space in a 19 inch rack or cabinet. Its overall dimensions are as follows:
Height: 5.25 inches (13.3 cm) Width: 19 inches (48.3 cm) Depth: 12.20 inches (31 cm)
Figure 8-2 shows all dimensions. Schematics for the MOTHER BOARD, INTERFACE BOARD, and
TERMINAL BLOCK BOARD are found at the end of this section. For installation and wiring diagrams
see Section 5, Installation.
MOTHER BOARD
The Mother board interconnects power, control bus, and logic to all modules. The physical interface for
all modules inserted from the front of the chassis are on this board.
INTERFACE BOARD
The Interface board interconnects the Terminal Block board to the Mother board. The Com ports
located on the rear of the chassis connect directly, through an opening on the Terminal Block board, to
a connector on the Interface board.
There are two versions of the Interface board. The CC2252-01 is the standard Interface board. The
CC2252-02 is used only for applications that require the Cut-Out Switch (CC2256) option module. A
PDR-2000 supplied with CC2252-02 will not operate correctly without the Cut-Out Switch module
installed in the two option slots, see Section 8, Figure 8-1 for module locations. The standard Interface
board (CC2252-01) will work with any or no option modules but will not work with the Cut-Out Switch
module.
The Terminal Block board has all the user connections located on the rear of the chassis. The terminal
blocks are used to wire all Trip/Guard and Status relay inputs and outputs, see Section 5, Installation
for a Wiring Diagram. A BNC for the GPS clock signal and the 9 pin DTE RS-232 port are located
above the Com Port module on the Terminal Block board. The Com Port module connects to the
Interface board but mounts to the Terminal Block board.

Figure 16-1. Terminal Block Board
CHANGING MODULES
Every part of the PDR-2000, with the exception of the back boards, has been designed to be easily
replaced or modified by the user in the field.
CAUTION: Care should always be taken when handling individual modules to avoid electrical shock
and static discharge. Always turn off the Power switch on the DC/DC module before removing any
components.
REPLACING MODULES
DC Converter(s): If the a DC converter should need to be replace due to failure, turn off the power first.
It is also recommended that the power also be disconnected from the station battery. Remove the DC
module by unscrewing the captive screws on the faceplate and pull the module straight out of the
chassis by its handle. Confirm which converter is to be replaced and match the number with the
marking on the DC module. Completely remove the two screws that hold the DC converter to the
standoffs. Carefully pull the converter out of the sockets mounted on the Terminal Block board.
To replace the DC converter, snap the pins into the sockets mounted on the DC module and use the
screws to fasten the module to the standoffs. The sockets will not hold the DC converter without the
screws. Insert the DC module completely and screw in the captive screws. Reconnect and turn on
the power.
Com Ports: A Com port may be easily replaced or changed to another type of port. On the Terminal
Block board, unscrew the two screws holding the board the Communication connectors in place. Pull
the board straight out.
To replace the Com port board, carefully line up the connector with the connector on the Interface
board and insert as straight as possible. Fasten the two screws into the standoffs. If a different type of
Com port board was replaced, make sure the Com module matches the type of port (64 Kbps, G.703,
fiber optic, etc.).
Front Panel Modules: To replace a module that has an attached faceplate (all modules other then uP
modules and Com modules), unscrew the top and bottom captive screws on the faceplate and pull the
module straight out of the chassis by its handle.
To replace the module, line the board up with the grooves of the card guides and slide the module until
it is firmly seated and the faceplate is flush with the front of the chassis. Screw down both captive
16-2
screws completely. These are grounding screws and must be screwed in. If option modules are being
added, refer to the literature that is supplied with the option modules for instructions.
To replace one of the modules behind the Keypad and Display, unscrew both captive screws of the
faceplate and swing the panel to the left. To pull the module out, pull on the board’s handle while
pressing down on the red board retainer. After the board has started to come out, the retainer may be
let go.
If the primary uP module is being removed, unplug the ribbon cables from the module after it has been
removed.
When reinstalling the primary uP module, attach the ribbon cables before inserting it into the chassis,
see Section 5, Installation for pin alignment. If a redundant uP module is being installed or replaced,
remove the primary uP module and insert the redundant uP module in the primary slot. Program the
redundant uP module using the GUI. Turn off the power, remove the redundant uP module, insert a
jumper across pins 1 and 3 of the keypad connector on the redundant uP module and install in the
redundant slot. See Section 9, uP module for more details. If a different type of Com module is being
installed, make sure the Com port board on the rear of the chassis matches the new Com module.
To install a uP or Com module, hold down the red board retainer, line the board up with the grooves of
the card guides and slide the module until it is firmly seated and the retainer snaps up in front of the
board. Close the door holding the Keypad and Display, being careful of the ribbon cables, and fasten
both captive screws for grounding.
Keypad and Display: If a keypad or Display needs to be replaced, replace just the component and not
the whole assembly. Each component has four nuts that hold it to the panel. Remove the ribbon cable
and then unscrew the component. The Display has an antiglare screen that is not attached to the
Display. After the module has been replaced connect the ribbon cable, carefully close the panel, and
fasten the two thumb screws completely, see Section 5, Installation for pin alignment.

UNIVERSAL RELAY MODULE (OPTION)
DESCRIPTION
The Universal Relay Module is an option for the PDR-2000. Each module contains four dry contact
relays that can be used for Trip outputs. Each relay is a form C relay that can be used as a form A
or form B relay depending on jumper position. The relays have a contact rating of 10A at 24VDC or
3A at 125VDC (see Wiring Diagram at the end of Section 5, Installation for connections). The Uni-
versal Relay Module may also be supplied without relays. In this form it is reffered to as the Solid
State Pass Through Module. If a Trip out module is placed in the optional slot (see Figure. 8.1) and
the solid state relays are not being used to drive the dry contacts then the pass through module al-
lows the solid states to be wired to the terminal blocks.
THEORY OF OPERATION
Each relay is fed from the connector directly or in parallel via the Interconnect board should multiple
relays be required for a particular application.
Note: The following description refers to Relay 1 (RL1) and is applicable to all four relays if
equipped.
The station battery or the voltage controlling the relay coil is connected to J1-1A and J1-1C. The
negative side is connected to one side of each of the relay coils. The solid state output of the Multi-
Trip module connects the positive voltage from J1-4C to J1-4A and to the other side of the relay coil
via C1 and R1. The station battery will be applied to the RL1’s coil through C1 which shortens the
relay pull in time. After a few milliseconds, C1 charges and current is limited by resistor R1, placing
the correct holding voltage across the relay coil.
Note: The Universal Relay module is designed to work at 24VDC, 48VDC, 125VDC or
250VDC and is marked on the top of the faceplate handle with the correct voltage. Please
consult the factory for changing the rated voltage in the field.
JUMPERS
JP1-4
Jumpers JP1-4 are used when the module is being used as a pass through module. If the relay is
not supplied or if the intention is to by-pass the relay and use the solid state output from the optional
Trip out module, the jumper must be strapped. If the relay is to be used, the jumper must be open.
Jumper 1 is for relay 1 which is driven by optional Trip out 1.
JP5-8
Jumpers JP5-8 are also used to bypass the dry contact relay. The jumper in the A B position is
used to activate the dry contact relay. Position B C is used to bypass the relay for a solid state out-
put. Jumper 5 controls relay 1 and the rest of the jumpers follow in order.
JP9-12
Jumpers JP9-12 are used only for the dry contact relays. The A B position of the jumper creates a
NO form A circuit and the B C position creates a NC form B circuit. Jumper JP9 controls relay 1 and
the rest of the jumpers follow in order.
CUT-OUT SWITCH MODULE (Option)
SW1 Switch, Air Gap Changes Trip I/O's from normal to isolated
DESCRIPTION
The Cut-Out Switch module is used to provide an air gap isolation between the Trip inputs and outputs
and the terminal blocks on the back of the chassis. When the switch is changed from normal operation
to the cut-out position, the uP module receives an indication of the event and records it. A contact on
the switch also acts as a status relay and may be configured as normally open or normally closed.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The Cut-Out Switch module consists of an air gap switch (SW1) that passes all Trip output circuits
from the Trip Out module to the terminal blocks on the rear of the chassis. When the switch position is
moved from IN (service) to OUT (of service), an air gap prevents any Trips that are received by the unit
from being output. The 5 V power used by the Trip In module also passes through the switch. When
the switch is in the OUT position the power is cut to the Trip input circuits preventing the unit from
transmitting any Trip inputs received. As a extra measure of security, the Cut-Out Switch also sends
an indication to the uP module that it is in the OUT position and the unit’s Firmware prevents Trip inputs
and Trip outputs from being acted upon. If a Trip is received from another unit while the switch is in the
OUT position, the display will show the channels that are being tripped but the uP module will not
instruct the Trip Out module to Trip. The Trip In module must have jumper JP1 in the open position
for the Cut-Out Switch module to function properly.
The Cut-Out Switch module also has two outputs for the status of the switch position. The uP input
used to block the Trip I/O’s is also used to record the change of the switch’s position in the event
recorder. A separate contact on the switch is used to indicate whether it is in the IN or OUT position.
When JP1 is in the A-B position the contact is normally closed and in the B-C position, it is normally
open. The contact closure is connected to Terminal Block 5 positions 1 and 2, see Section 5 for the
wiring diagram.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
The PDR-2000 is designed for trouble free service. It is not necessary to perform preventive
maintenance. This statement is not intended to replace preventive maintenance procedures in place
within any particular organization.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The uP module contains a battery used to maintain the internal clock in case of power failure. The
clock is only used for time/date stamping of events and the PDR-2000 will work normally even with a
dead battery but will need to have the clock reset if the power is turned off. All other information is
stored in Flash. When the main power is on the battery is not in use. The battery should be replaced
every ten years for a unit that is in service (a unit that is powered ON for the majority of the ten years).
If the battery is left in a unit that is not in service the battery should be replaced every five years.
Always turn off the main power switch on the front of the DC/DC module before removing any
modules.
To replace the battery, turn off the unit, remove the uP module (see Section 16 for module removal
instructions), and use a screwdriver to remove the battery from it’s holder. Carefully replace the battery
with another 3 V coin type lithium battery (Eveready part number, CR2032). Replace the uP module
and power the unit back on. Remember to set the time and date, see Section 3, On-Board Programming.
FUSE REPLACEMENT
If the PDR-2000 has power being applied to the terminal blocks and the power switch on the front of the
DC module is in the On or I position yet there are no green LED’s lit on the front of the DC/DC Module,
then a fuse may be blown.
When replacing a faulty fuse, turn the power switch on the front of the DC/DC module to the Off or O
position. Remove the DC module (see Section 16 for module removal instructions). Use a flat blade
screwdriver or fuse puller to remove the faulty fuse from the clips. Be careful not to shatter the glass.
Eye protection should be worn. Replace the fuse with one of the same physical and electrical
characteristics, see Section 12 for fuse location and replacement part number. Replace the DC/DC
module, see Section 16 for replacement procedure, and turn the power switch on. If the green main
power LED is illuminated then the problem has been corrected. If the LED does not light or if the fuse
blows again, further troubleshooting is required and INIVEN should be contacted at 800-526-3984 or
908-722-3770 for assistance, repair or replacement of the faulty module.
Redundant power supplies each have their own green power LED and status relay. If the green main
power LED is illuminated but the LED corresponding with the fuse does not illuminate (PWR 1 ON or
18-1
PWR 2 ON) or if the fuse blows again, further troubleshooting is required and INIVEN should be contacted
at 800-526-3984 or 908-722-3770 for assistance, repair or replacement of the faulty module.
FIRMWARE CHANGE
If a change of the PDR-2000’s firmware is required, a new flash.bin file will be used. This file can be
received one of two ways. Either a new GUI will be used that has the flash.bin file incorporated into it or
the flash.bin file will be a separate file. Instructions for installing the file will be included with the firmware
file and may differ slightly from the procedure described below.
If a new GUI is being used, load the GUI onto the PC normally. When the GUI is created on the PC, a
folder called INIVEN will be created including the flash.bin file. Attach the unit to be upgraded to the PC
and open the GUI. The unit must be offline during a firmware upgrade.
2. Click Download Firmware. The default for the flash.bin Open command is the INIVEN folder.
3. Select the flash.bin file and click OK. The files’s properties can be used to determine the date of the
firmware file.
4. Follow the instructions of PDR-2000’s display screen. Depending on the version of the firmware the
unit will have to be turned Off and On once or twice. When the default screen returns the unit has
successfully loaded the new firmware. Check the settings to confirm no changes have occurred due
to the firmware upgrade.
If the file is used separately and not part of the GUI, select the location of the file instead of the INIVEN
folder from step 3 above and click on the flash.bin file and click OK.
If a change of the PDR-2000’s Programmable Logic Device (PLD) is required, a new standard.pof file
will be used. This file can be received one of two ways. Either a new GUI will be used that has the
standard.pof file incorporated into it or the standard.pof file will be a separate file. Instructions for
installing the file will be included with the PLD file and may differ slightly from the procedure described
below.
2. Click Download Firmware. The default for the standard.pof Open command is the INIVEN folder.
3. Use the down arrow for file type to select .pof. Select the standard.pof file and click OK. The files’s
properties can be used to determine the date of the PLD file.
4. Follow the instructions of PDR-2000’s display screen. Depending on the version of the PLD file the
unit will have to be turned Off and On once or twice. When the default screen returns the unit has
successfully loaded the new PLD code. Check the settings to confirm no changes have occurred due
to the PLD upgrade.
If the file is used separately and not part of the GUI, select the location of the file instead of the INIVEN
folder from step 3 above and click on the standard.pof file and click OK.

Section 19 GLOSSARY
AND A logic statement where both inputs to the gate must both be present or “On” for
the output of the logic to be present or “On”
BIT The digital communications used by the PDR-2000 are made up of bits. A bit is
either a 1 or 0. A group of bits with a beginning and an ending make a packet.
BLOCK This is a state that can affect a single channel or multiple receive channels. A
Block occurs when communication or electrical requirements are out of
tolerance. This causes the Block alarm to energize and a B to appear on the
display for the effected channels.
CHANNEL This is a sub-channel within a single packet. The channels are referred to as
A through H. These are represented as 1’s and 0’s in the digital packet. The
channel is the form a Trip input takes while it is being communicated.
COM PORT A connector located on the chassis’ back panel is used to communicate Trip
and Guard (along with other information) over the protection communication
path.
COMMUNICATION This refers to the path used by the PDR-2000 for the digital packets. The packets
are passed over a synchronous or asynchronous path to their destination, another
unit or a PC, as opposed to the electrical inputs used by the Trip, alarm and
power circuits.
DEPENDABILITY The ability of teleprotection equipment to Trip out a valid Trip in the presence of
communication interference.
EVENT Any activity that occurs within a PDR-2000 that is recorded in memory.

Section 20 TROUBLESHOOTING
This section is designed to help users solve common issues they may encounter while using the
PDR-2000.
GUI
ISSUE: The GUI has locked up and does not respond to user input.
POSSIBLE CAUSES:
1. The cable is not connected from the PC to the PDR-2000.
2. The wrong Unit ID number was entered when downloading settings or firmware.
3. If a Unit ID number was selected other then the local unit, the communications may have
been lost. To Confirm the communications link is working, perform a Ping test as described
in Section 6, System Tests.
SOLUTION: Confirm that the GUI is not performing a task such as downloading new settings. To do
this, look at the space between the Download Firmware and Download Settings buttons on the GUI
and check if the blue progress bar is moving.
Allow the GUI one minute to clear itself and issue a pop-up message. If this is not the case and the GUI
seems unresponsive in all other ways, press the CTRL, ALT and DELETE keys simultaneously and
end the task when prompted. Restart the GUI.
ISSUE: New settings were downloaded and a confirmation was received but the unit did not make the
changes to the settings:
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The password was entered into the Display module locking out changes made by
a PC.
SOLUTION: Make sure the Display is on the default screen and try downloading the settings again.
ISSUE: The PC is connected to the unit, but there does not seem to be any communications between
the two.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The serial comm port on the computer is not comm 1 (the default) or the comm
port was set to another comm port for a modem connection.
SOLUTION: Go to the Set Connection button on the GUI and change the comm port to the proper port
on the computer and click the SET COMM PORT button. Close the window and try again.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: A null modem cable was used to connect the front RS-232 port.
SOLUTION: Use the supplied serial cable or use an extension cable (i.e. keyboard/mouse extension
cable) not a null modem cable.
20-1
DISPLAY
ISSUE: A setting has been changed but the unit does not seem to accept it.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The F1 (or OK) button was not pressed when the change was made.
SOLUTION: Go back to same menu and confirm that the setting change has been made. If the setting
is still in it’s original state, make the change again and press the F1 button for OK.
COMMUNICATIONS
ISSUE: The units seem to be working properly but one of the LOC lights is on.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: Both Com Ports are active but only one is being used for communications.
SOLUTION: Turn off the unused Com Port using either the GUI or the Display module.
ISSUE: One of the remote units does not seem to be able to Trip the local unit.
POSSIBLE CAUSES:
1. Both Com Ports are being used for communication but the Unit ID feature is not turned on.
2. The Unit ID numbers in the Receive logic table were not filled in properly.
3. The remote unit is communicating through another unit but one of the units in the string or
loop does not have Packet Forwarding turned on.
4. The communications line is plugged into the wrong Com Port.
ISSUE: A RS-449 interface is being used and all connections seem to be correct but the unit has
intermittent communications and is receiving large amounts of bit errors.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The timing signal on the RS-449 input is for the rising edge or falling edge and the
unit is set the opposite way.
SOLUTION: Change the Invert Clock setting using the GUI or front panel.
ISSUE: An Audio Communications module is being used and all connections seem to be correct but
the unit has intermittent communications and is receiving large amounts of bit errors.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Invert Clock stting is not On and must be so for this interface module.
SOLUTION: Turn the Invert Clock setting using the GUI or front panel to On or Invert Clock.
20-2
ISSUE: The unit logs a bit error event when I am requesting information from a remote unit.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Ping Test is active and the communications priority gives Ping Tests a higher
value then data transfer (but not Trip/Guard packets). This may cause a data packet to be cut off in
order to accelerate the Ping Test packet. When a data packet is cut off, the receiving unit requests the
transmitting unit to send the packet again.
SOLUTION: No action need be taken. The Ping Test and data transfer will be completed. The bit error
event is indicating that one of the data packets came in incomplete and needed to be resent.
ISSUE: When using a Audio Communications module the trip times are much longer then expected.
POSSIBLE CAUSE:
1. Packet Forwarding is turned On.
2. Auto Ping Test is turned On and set for a high repeat rate.
3. The transmit output level is set too high.
4. A noisy line.
SOLUTION:
1. Turn off Packet Forwarding.
2. Turn off Auto Ping Test or increase repeat rates to greater then 1 hour.
3. Lower the transmit output level.
4. Check the event recorder for bit errors. If none or few are found this is not the problem. If
noise is the issue, try increasing the transmitter output level.
