Do’s and Follow these practices at all times:


Don’ts 1. Surge and noise suppression components used on the D20 and D200 are
designed to conduct during transients to prevent nuisance operation or damage to
internal components. To ensure shunting of transients from line to ground, the
D20’s and D200’s earth ground stud must be connected to a low impedance
ground using braided cable or heavy solid copper conductor (16 or 12 AWG
supplied with chassis). When making ground connections, ensure that all
surfaces that are used for grounding are free of dirt, residue and corrosion. A
coating such as glyptol can be used to protect these connections from oxidation
and dirt deposits.
2. Ensure that cable shields are grounded at either the D20 or D200 auxiliary
ground stud or at the field equipment. Do not ground the shields at more than
one point because a potential difference may exist between grounds causing
ground loops and undesirable noise sources.
3. Ensure that all nuts and screws are tightened to the torque specifications listed in
this guide.
4. Always replace fuses with the same type and rating used by GE Energy. For fuse
types and ratings, see Servicing, page 107.
5. When using communications equipment such as modems or radios, always use
appropriate surge protectors to protect the communication ports.
6. To prevent interference with communications, route all communication cables
away from power carrying cables.
7. Always fuse protect field sources.
8. Always configure the jumpers in your D20 or D200 prior to connecting field I/O.
9. Follow all instructions in this guide as they are presented.
10. Do not operate the D20 or D200 if it has been dropped or damaged. Return it to
GE Energy for inspections and repair.
11. The D20 and D200 power supplies use a switching topology. For proper
operation, the input voltage must be within specified limits prior to turning on
the D20’s or D200’s power switch.
12. Do not apply voltages outside the range of the product specifications. Voltages
outside the specified range may lead to premature product failure.
13. Do not modify the D20 or D200 without prior written authorization form GE
Energy.

Make sure that the D20 or D200 is grounded using the protective ground stud.

! Connection must be provided with separate green/yellow wire connected


between the D20 or D200 and the protective earth system of the facility.
Minimum 14 AWG is recommended.

Familiarization

Introduction Use this section to become familiar with the various components that make up
a D20 or D200 system.

What are the The D20 is a standalone remote terminal unit (RTU). It consists of one or
D20 and D200? more main processor boards, WESDAC and WESTERM peripheral I/O
modules, termination panels, power supply, and communication equipment.
These components combine with software applications to form the D20
Substation System.
The D20 acts as a data concentrator and central processor. Field data gathered
through the peripheral modules and external Intelligent Electronic Devices
(IEDs) are stored in the system database and can be accessed by the
application programs loaded into the D20.
The D20 design has a shallow chassis with horizontally mounted processor
boards, with multiple boards in some versions.
The D200 shares the same overall design concept as the D20 but it has a
deeper chassis with vertically mounted processor boards. The D200 can use
multiple D20ME processor boards, up to a maximum of eight nodes.
The D20 and D200 are available in a Kit form for self-assembly and as
factory assembled RTUs.

Separate Peripheral I/O boards operate independently of the main chassis and main
Peripherals processors. This means that:
• You can use a D20 or a D200 without direct connection to peripheral boards so
that it acts as a Master Data Concentrator to other RTUs.
• You can hot-swap the peripherals without powering down the main processor.

Assembling a Many add-on options are available for the D20 & D200 systems to provide
D20 different operational performance and functions. The typical basic D20 or
D200 system consists of a Main Chassis with required Peripheral I/O boards.

D20 Non-VME The D20 can have Versa-bus Module Eurocard (VME) compatible or non-
and VME VME compatible main boards.
versions
If the board is VME compatible:
• There is one D20ME main board in the bottom horizontal slot and additional
boards are possible.
• The Termination Panel or Backplane is the WESTERM D20M VME.
If the main board is non-VME:
• There is only one main board in the bottom horizontal slot
• The Termination Panel or Backplane is the WESTERM D20M+ SS.

D20 Chassis The D20 Chassis is available in two versions:


• Standard single slot with one horizontal Eurocard slot for mounting the D20ME
board for the non-VME compatible version.
• Full VME equipped with five horizontal expansion slots for VME compatible
printed circuit boards.

Table The D20 has a 3U horizontal slot chassis for 19” rack mounting. There are
two types of chassis:

Chassis Type Part # Description

Other To complete a basic D20 implementation, several other components are


Components required:
• Peripheral I/O modules
• D.20 Link for communication between the main board and the peripherals
• Interposing Relay Panels: the need for these depends upon the load
characteristics of the device that is controlled by the D20K & D20C control
peripherals. If this rating exceeds the contact rating of the D20K & D20C control
peripheral boards, then an Interposing Relay Panel is required. See Interposing
Relays page 33.
• When using bit-based synchronous protocols a Universal Protocol Converter
(UPC) board is required to convert from byte to bit and back. The D20/D200
communicates asynchronously over RS-232 on its serial ports.
Note: The jumper settings on the UPC are protocol-specific. See Universal
Protocol Converter page 33.

Other System • If you are building a redundant system, you will need additional cables to link
Configurations the active and standby units. See D20/D200 Redundancy, page 38
• If you are building an extended system with multiple peripherals or with
peripherals sited remotely, then you will need D.20 Interface modules. See

Pinouts page 83.

I/O Peripherals Peripheral I/O modules are intelligent modules containing an on-board
microprocessor and are configured as slaves to the D20ME main processor. In
this way, specific I/O processing is distributed throughout the RTU to the
appropriate I/O module. There are five types:
• D20A analog input
• D20S digital inputs
• D20K digital output
• D20C combination input/output
• D20AC alternating current analog input

I/O Peripheral Each D20 peripheral I/O module consists of two separate assemblies:
Module • WESDAC logic panel, for Data Acquisition and Control
Assembly
• WESTERM panel, for field Termination
The logic panel contains the logic circuitry and active components. The
termination panel provides terminations for all field I/O, power, the local
WESMAINT port, and HDLC port for the D.20 Link.

The logic board sits in a metal enclosure and plugs directly into the
termination panel. The termination panel sits on a 5.25" wide metal panel
designed for flat or rack mounting. The logic panel enclosure is faced with
semi-transparent Plexiglas, which permits the user to monitor LED displays
for various peripheral functions and all field I/O points.

Hot-swap The WESDAC board can be hot-swapped off the WESTERM board without
Peripherals disconnecting the power.
A module failure is indicated on the LED displays. If a unit fails, you can
unplug the failed WESDAC unit and replace it with a working unit while the
power remains on. Once the new unit is installed, the D20ME automatically
downloads the appropriate database parameters to the module to make it
operational.
Note: This can be done without removing power from the peripheral,
hence “hot-swap”.

D20EME The D20 Ethernet/Memory Expansion (EME) product is a set of components


that can be installed in a D20 MX or D200 to add expanded (Global) memory
and/or Ethernet capability.
D20EME kits are offered in a variety of options to address common
requirements for D20 and D200 systems, including:
• Ethernet only systems
• Expanded (or Global) memory only applications
• Combined Ethernet and Global memory systems

Applications of The D20EME product can be used in two main applications:


the D20EME • New installations
• Upgrade or replacement applications.

Upgrades and • When upgrading a D20 VME or D200 from a GreenSpring Ethernet card to an
Replacements Ethernet EME card, you need to install re-integrated software into the D20ME
processor.
• Upgrading a D200 to use a memory-only EME does not require new firmware,
but may require a new configuration.
• If you are adding Ethernet capability to an existing D20 VME, first verify that
the D20’s power supply is capable of handling the additional load. For further
advice, contact GE for assistance.
• The interconnect cable that links the EME main board to the MIC card must be
routed inside the D20 or D200 chassis. Routing the cable outside the chassis may
cause excessive EMI radiation and/or interfere with operation.

WESTERM Jumper Z1 on each of the four WESTERM boards is used to set the module
Addressing: address. A valid module address consists of a two-part hexadecimal value.
jumper Z1
Jumper Z1 has eight pairings:

The two-part hexadecimal number is expressed via binary using the eight
pairings on the jumper according to the schema:

Example: Suppose you want a Hex address of 0A, which is decimal 10. Then
you need to install jumpers to express 0 for the first Hex digit and A
for the second Hex digit. You do this by jumpering for decimal 10
in binary, which is 00001010 for an eight-bit number:

WESTERM The Hex address for a board is derived from two parameters:
Addressing: • Peripheral slot number
jumper Z1
(continued) • Odd parity address setting for the board
The odd parity address setting is made in Config Pro. This setting configures
the peripheral for either odd or even parity data integrity checking for
communications. In an eight-bit binary peripheral address, the last bit is the
parity bit and Config Pro automatically adds it. If you select even, 1 is added.
If you select odd, 0 is added.
Example: Peripheral slot 1 has binary 0000001 address for a seven-bit
number. If even parity has been selected for the peripheral, the
address becomes 00000011, which is 03 Hex. If odd parity has been
selected for the peripheral, the address becomes 00000010, which is
02 Hex.

Redundant On multi-node systems, one D20ME board is designated as the Master and
System: any additional D20ME boards are designated Slaves.
D20/D200 VME
Multi-node Typically, D20 multi-node systems are designed to run serial communications
from one or more of the slave boards. This means that all seven of the serial
ports on slave Termination panels can be used for serial communications.
Use the seven serial ports on slave WESTERM D20M+ or WESTERM
D20M++ Termination panels to connect serial communications to the two
rows of serial ports on the RS-232 panel.

Multi-node If your D20/D200 multi-node system uses more than one slave board to run
systems with more that seven serial communication links, then you will have to use a
additional RS- second RS-232 panel to carry any extra serial links. This is because the
232 Panels WESTERM D20M+ or WESTERM D20M++ Termination panels have only
seven serial connection ports.
Example: You have seven serial links running on the first D20/D200 slave
node and four serial links running on the second slave node, for a
total of eleven serial links. In this case, you need two RS-232
Switch panels. One RS-232 Switch Panel is designated the Master
and the second the Slave.
Master RS-232 Panel:
Connected for Watchdog to the Master CCUs on the Primary and
Secondary multi-node system.
Connected for seven serial links from the first slave node
Termination panel.
Slave RS-232 Panel:
Connected for four serial links from the second slave node
Termination panel.

test the have completed the necessary hardware configuration, the next step is to
D20/D200 power-up the D20/D200 and verify that it is functioning properly.
Use this section of the guide to prepare for powering-up and learn how to
correctly perform the power-up and other tests:
• What is needed to test: WESMAINT II+ facility, 68K Monitor and Config Pro
• How to power-up the D20/D200 and conduct the BOOT Test: Power On Self-
Test
• How to carry out a redundant system test

Note Before any of the tests and procedures in this section can be performed, a
valid configuration file must be loaded into the D20/D200’s NVRAM.
If you have replaced the main board of the D20/D200, then you will need to
restore the configuration file so that diagnostic tests can be performed.
If this power-up and test procedure reveals that your D20/D200 is not
functioning properly due to software malfunction, then you need to download
code and configuration files.
See: D20/D200 Software Configuration, page 94 and refer to the Config Pro

Required for The system components that are required for configuring and testing the
Testing D20/D200 are:
• WESMAINT II+ facility
• 68K Monitor
• Config Pro system

To prevent burning out the main processor board, make two important checks
! before switching on the D20 or D200:
• Check that the external power supply input level is correct for the Power Supply
Important fitted to the chassis. See Standard Power Supplies, page 26
Checks • If you have 125VDC or 110VAC input, then jumpers Z22 and Z23 on the

D20/D200 Software Configuration

This Section Use this section as a guide for:


• An introduction to the software components used in the D20ME module
• How to identify the type of Base software installed on your D20ME module
• An overview of the software tools you will use
• How to download code and configuration files to the Flash memory on your
D20ME module or modules on your system using a serial connection

D20 and D200 The D20ME has Base software installed at manufacture, which resides in the
Software: BootROM.
Introduction
When the D20ME is first powered up, the Base system builds a default
configuration header file in the NVRAM memory. The default configuration
allows the D20ME to start and run the 68K Monitor. You use the 68K
Monitor to perform the necessary software download to the D20ME.
The D20/D200 is factory tested. The level of software testing that is
performed on the D20 or D200 before it leaves the factory depends upon the
type of delivery and system:
• If you have not ordered software, then the D20ME has been powered-up in the
factory and checked to see that the 68K Monitor login comes up
• If you have ordered software, then your project-specific code and configuration
files have been downloaded
• For multi-node systems, a default code and configuration file has been loaded to
carry out further tests.
To meet the full operational requirements of a specific RTU system, the
D20ME main processor board requires two valid files to be loaded:
• A code file, which resides in the EPROM or Flash memory
• A configuration file, which consist of applications and which resides in the
NVRAM
Use this section to load the project-specific code and configuration files that
have been built for the specific operational needs of your RTU system.

When to Other circumstances when you may need to download code and configuration
Download files to your D20/D200:
• If the D20 or D200 has performed self-diagnostics and determined that the
FLASH memory is either erased or corrupted
• When other test messages indicate that the FLASH memory has been erased or
corrupted or that a valid configuration file header cannot be found in the
NVRAM
• After maintenance or replacement work which has deleted the FLASH code files

Base Types There are two types of Base system software: D20 Base and CCU Base.

Identification of The D20ME module Base Type is determined by the version of BootROM
Base Type installed, which identifies how the module will be used. Since the download
method depends on which BootROM is installed, the Base type of the module
must be known before downloading flash code. The BootROM label indicates
which type you have:

Module Base Type BootROM Label

D20ME D20 Base SBU0000/xx


D20ME CCU Base SBU0001/xx

Note The /xx suffix in the BootROM Label is the revision number of the software

Alternate If the D20ME module is already installed into a device and difficult to
Identification remove, you can identify the Base Type through the WESMAINT monitor
Method See Procedure: Identify Base.

Prerequisites The items following must be available before a flash code file can be loaded
for Code into a D20ME:
Download
• Windows PC with terminal emulation communication software loaded.
• The code file, in the Motorola S-record format, preferably located on a local hard
drive.
− If the file is located on a network or floppy drive, the download may be
significantly slower.
− This file typically will be named: down.shx or salxxxx.shx
• A WESMAINT cable for connecting the PC to the D20ME WESMAINT port on
the front-panel.
• The D20ME module must:
− have its hardware option jumpers set
− be installed into a D20 or D200 chassis, ready to power-up

Note: If you are upgrading from a D20M++ board to a D20ME board, you must use
the .shx file for the ME board, not the .bin file.

Batteries The D20ME Main board has two lithium batteries located near the front of
the board. These maintain the contents of the NVRAM in the event that
power is removed from the module. See D20ME Main Module: Board Layout
page 42.
Battery life should exceed five years:
• If the D20ME is never powered down, or
• If the batteries are disconnected, by removing jumper JP8
Battery life is shortened if they are left connected while the D20ME is
powered down for extended periods.

Battery To check battery voltage, use a meter or other measuring device that has high
Checking input impedance. (10MΩ or higher)
The batteries have a nominal voltage of 3.6 volts. Batteries with a voltage of
3.0 volts or less should be changed.

• If you remove one or both of the batteries from the D20ME, configuration data

Notes 1. Not all non-VME backplanes pass: use 517-0224-05A, 517-0254-02 or newer.
The VME D20ME, 526-2005, does NOT work with non-VME backplanes. You
must use the non-VME D20ME, 526-2004
2. Not all SIO communication panels pass: use 517-0225-09 or newer. The non-
VME D20ME, 526-2004, does NOT work with VME backplanes. You must use
the VME D20ME, 526-2005
3. Ethernet cards should only be installed in the new D20 MX Chassis, or a D200
chassis. Older D20 horizontal chassis have no place for the interface cable
between the D20EME and the MIC to run inside the chassis. Although you can
physically bring this cable out the back of the chassis between the metalwork
and the PCB, it invalidates the compliance to industrial emissions standards.
4. Do not use 16MB Micro Memory cards with the D20ME. Use 8MB card(s) as
required. 16MB Micro Memory cards can be used with D20M++ cards.
5. D20 M++ cards cannot be used with D20ME or D20EME cards in systems with
more than three processor boards. Occasional crashes can occur in these systems.
6. There are some limitations to the number of nodes you can have in a D20 VME
Chassis:
− Due to the mounting arrangement of the Serial I/O communications
interface panel on a D20 chassis, it is not always practical to have more
than one node. On the 500-0280 MX Chassis you can have one rack
mounted com panel (517-0225) and one rear mounted com panel (571-
0230), supplying physical com channels for two processor nodes.
Additional nodes could be dedicated to Ethernet and automation
applications if desired.
− The D20 Power Supply +5V output can supply up to 5A. Each D20ME
requires 1A, and the D20EME requires 110mA. The remaining power
can be used to line power 5V devices on the RS-232 communication
ports. This means the D20 Power Supply can power up to 4 D20ME
cards and 1 D20EME.
− The D20 Power Supply +12V output can supply a maximum of 1A. The
D20EME requires 0.6A. The remaining power can be used to line power
12V devices on the RS-232 communication ports. In practice, this means
that the D20 Power Supply can power either a D20EME, or a few
modems. If both Ethernet and modems, or several modems, are required
then an external 12V power supply is generally required.
Common Power Consumption Ratings:
• D20EME w/ MIC 0.60A @ +12V
• D20ME 0.10A @ +12V
• WESDAC 202 Modem 0.10A @ +12V
• Telenetics Modem 0.35A @ +12V
Example: 1 D20ME, 1 D20EME w/ 10BaseT, and 1 Telenetics Modem
exceeds the available +12V Capacity

they are not 100% backward compatible.
• Special arrangements need to be made with GE manufacturing to obtain
PERFPAL V1.5, which are not kept in stock.
The communication statistics on the D.20 link will never be as good as they
are with new peripherals, but they should not be any worse than they were in
the existing system.
PCOMMONs should match the version of base software being used.

Appendix B: 68K Monitor Commands

Introduction This appendix outlines some of the 68K Monitor commands that can be used
when working with D20ME. Instructions in this chapter are excerpts from the
68K Monitor User's Guide.
Refer to the P136-0UG.DOC, 68K Monitor User's Guide for information
about other commands not listed here.

Changing the The D20ME Monitor has the ability to change the communication speed of
Baud Rate the WESMAINT port. This is useful when downloading large files.
Example: A 1 MB code file may take upwards of 40 minutes to download at
9600 bps (the default). At 38400 bps, the transfer is only 10 – 15
minutes.
Note: Most PCs cannot exceed 115,200 bps, and some terminal programs
(Windows Terminal for example) may have other restrictions. Check
the program's User's Guide for help.

SET BAUD The SET BAUD RATE command changes the data rate of the WESMAINT
RATE port to a user-supplied value.
command

Command BAUD baud_rate


Format
Variables None
Parameters baud_rate = the new data rate for the port, in bps.
Example Type BAUD 4800 and press ENTER.
Results: The monitor switches to communicate at 4800
bps.
Special See warning above.
Considerations

WARNING: Speed change made using the SET BAUD RATE command are not saved in
NVRAM; the monitor will return to 9600 bps after a restart. It is
recommended that this command be only used to speed up a serial download,
and not to redefine the operational state.
