USER MANUAL

The stand alone PC program PTS is used for development and test of user defined LAF programs

The RTU211 system design is based on the former RTU210 concept, but several new features and
enhancements are included :

• Addition of I/O module directly connected to the CPU board ( 6 AI 8 DO 16 DI )

• Significant reduction in physical size

• Reduced system costs

• New concept for program loading and basic parameter configuration

• New concept for AC supply and battery charger

• Fiber optical interface for Remote I/O ( in addition to RS485 bus )

A Local Display and Control Unit ( LDCU ) is available as an option. This unit has a 2 X 40 character
LCD display and a set of function keys for easy operation.

2. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The RTU211 minimum system configuration is now included in one very compact module as shown in
figure 1 below. This module contains a power supply, I/O interface, CPU board and a V23 modem

The power supply is delivered in two versions, one for fixed 24 VDC and one for 24-110 VDC.

The I/O interface has 6 analog inputs, 16 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs. In addition a
measurement circuit for 1 of N control of digital outputs is included as standard.

The V23 modem, 23WT63 is connected directly to the CPU board by means of a short ribbon cable.
In Dial Up applications the V23 modem can be replaced by a DIN rail mounted Dial up modem.

The CPU board has 4 serial ports, a solid state alarm relay, monitoring inputs for power supply and
expansion plug for external I/O.

The size of the module is only 385 X 110 X 100 ( L X W X H )

The HW configuration of RTU211 is very flexible and the system can be expanded in several steps.

The I/O system is divided in racks , modules and boards and the following rules are applied :

RTU211 is typically designed for remote control of small to medium sized areas with an input/output
requirement ranging from a handful up to 3-400 data points.

In addition to normal tele-control functions RTU 211 can also be programmed with "Local Automation
Functions (LAF)", i.e. sequential programmes based on the principles of programmable logic
controllers (PLC). LAF programs can be used in a variety of ways, e.g. to implement :

• Compound messages or calculated measurements.

• Sequential or analog control of a water or gas pump station.
• Sequential control of a hydro power station.
• Sequential algorithms for operation of circuit breakers to increase safety.

The system concept allows for modular expansion following the current need for process signals.
Such expansion can be accomplished at any time by adding further input/output modules.

USER MANUAL

The key feature of RTU211 is the combination of the main CPU board, 23CP61 and the integrated I/O
board, 23IO96 in the same module. This module can also be equipped with the V23 modem 23WT63.
The 23CP61 board is always plugged into 23IO96 from which it gets power supply and other system
signals.

This concept gives a complete working RTU in one compact module without sacrificing the possibility
to expand the system of same size as the former RTU211.

The 80C186 is running at 8 Mhz and has access to a total of 768 kb of memory. The memory is
organised as shown in the diagram below :

SURVIVAL SEGMENT
64 kb LAF program /
I/O configuration files
256 kb RAM
192 kb work RAM

Figure 4 23CP61 Memory map

23CP61 use FLASH memory for both program and data storage, and a new concept for program
loading is introduced. By means of a 'plug in' board called 23FL60, the program is loaded into the 256
kb program code area in the FLASH chip. This is a very convenient way for the users to upgrade to a
new program version since no removal and insertion of traditional EPROM's is required.
A detailed description of the program load function is given in the chapter describing 23FL60.

All non-volatile data is also stored in the FLASH memory. This is achieved by using a FLASH chip
which is divided in individually erasable and writeable sectors :

MAIN BLOCK 1 128 kb Program code

MAIN BLOCK 2 128 kb Program code
MAIN BLOCK 3 128 kb Configuration files and LAF program files
MAIN BLOCK 4 96 kb Configuration files and LAF program files
PARAMETER BLOCK 1 8 kb Diagnostic buffer and other power down survival data
PARAMETER BLOCK 2 8 kb Copy of basic terminal configuration data
BOOT BLOCK 16 kb Basic terminal configuration data

RTU211 PART 1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION page 10
USER MANUAL

MAIN BLOCK 3 and 4 are two memory blocks holding configuration files, whereby one is active and
the other is passive at any time during normal operation. When a new file ( or files ) is downloaded
from a local PC or received as FTAB's from Central Station (CS), it is written to the passive block
together with a copy of the non changed files from the active block. When this operation is
successfully terminated the status of the passive block change to active. The former active block is
erased and changed to the passive mode.

All functions of 23CP61 are configured either by means of a PC connected to the MM. port or by
means of the configuration program on the 23FL60 board. No DIL switches are present on the board.

The integrated I/O on 23IO96 is read and written through an 8 bit internal bus between the two boards
( board to board contact ). However, the I/O on 23IO96 is treated by the main CPU as the external I/O
boards. This is achieved by driver routines that emulates the interface between the main CPU and the
internal bus processor ( IBP ) for these I/O signals.

23CP61 is only available in one version.

The most important SW functions are :

• Maintenance of a database for all I/O channels.

• Receive and transmit telegrams from / to the

central station according to the RP570 / 571 protocol.

• Run a Local Automation Program (LAF) at the same time as the

RTU is online connected to the central station.

• Advanced system diagnostic functions

The IBP is polling all I/O boards continuously , so the database and the event queues are always kept
up to date.

2.1.1.1 Power monitoring inputs

23CP61 has two optically isolated inputs for monitoring of system power failures.

One circuit is used for monitoring of the internal 24 V process voltage ( PVF ) and the other is used for
monitoring of the AC supply and the battery condition ( ACF ).

RTU211 PART 1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION page 11
USER MANUAL

The monitoring inputs are floating opto-coupler inputs and can therefore be connected to any voltage
source in the range 18 - 40 VDC. Normally the internal 24V process voltage is connected directly to
the Process Voltage Fail ( PVF ) monitoring input. However, in large systems there might be several
process voltage sources. In this case the monitoring can be done by connecting one aux. relay to
each process voltage and then connect all the contacts in series. The 24V internal supply can then be
used to supply the PVF optocoupler through this loop. See drawing below.

24V PROCESS VOLTAGE

PVF
INPUT

PROCESS VOLTAGE 1 PROCESS VOLTAGE 3

PROCESS VOLTAGE 2

Figure 6 Principle connection for process voltage fail signal

The ACF monitoring input is normally connected to the 23BC60 AC supply and battery charger. This
signal is a time multiplexed signal with 4 different states :

• Normal operation
• AC FAIL
• BATTERY FAIL
• Open circuit ( ERROR )

The detailed functions for this signal is described in the chapter describing the 23BC60 battery
charger.

2.1.1.2 Alarm relay

23CP61 has an solid state alarm relay that is controlled by the application SW. The relay is normally
activated ( no internal errors in the RTU ), whereby the output terminals are short circuited. The
internal alarm relay is intended for control of an external interposing relay or as a switch in external
logic system. The alarm relay signal should normally not be distributed outside the RTU211 cubicle. If
this is done care must be taken so that the wiring is not exposed to EMC. Use a screened cable.

NOTE : The relay is polarised and might be damage if the external voltage is reversed.

The deactivation of the alarm-relay indicates a serious fault in the RTU211 and action must
immediately be taken to find the cause of the problem. See USER MANUAL INSTALLATION /
COMMISSIONING / TROUBLESHOOTING for details.

2.1.1.3 Brief description of LAF option.

The LAF program ( option ) works in the same way as Programmable Logic Controllers ( PLC ) and
the LAF programs for RTU211 are developed with a special PC based tool, called Programming and
Test System ( PTS ).

LAF programs can either be developed and tested by the customer or the RTU211 can be ordered as
a completely tested system with the LAF program included from the ABB supplier. In the latter case a
clear specification must be provided for the required functions.

LAF is an integral part of the main CPU SW, and is used for local control and monitoring of the
connected I/O signals. This concept allows control functions to be carried out automatically, without
operator actions. This is especially useful when the communication between the control station and
the RTU is broken. The LAF program has transparent access to the RTU 210 database and can
therefore operate in 'parallel' with the control station.

Compared to a dedicated PLC system there are some limitations that must be outlined :

• LAF program execution is relatively slow. The time resolution is approx. 100 mS.

• Dynamic input signals with duration shorter than 100 ms will not be detected.

• Only I/O signals are controlled and monitored by LAF programs. Communication features and
system functions are not reachable from LAF programs.

ABB KRAFT A/S NORWAY

ABB Network Partner 9BEU355115 Rev.B

RTU211 PART 1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION page 13
USER MANUAL

The RTU211 LAF program has also several advantages compared to dedicated PLC systems :

• Control parameters can be modified on-line from a remote control station.

• Information to / from other RTU's and other LAF programs can be interchanged via the central
station.

• A complete local and remote SCADA system can be ordered from one supplier.

2.1.1.4 Description of LED indicators.

23CP61 has 10 status LED's. 6 are used to show activity on the serial ports ( MMI, NFK and CPA )
and 4 are controlled by the main CPU to indicate either system status or internal errors,

All LED's are green except the system ERROR LED, which is red.

The highlighted names in the text below are shown on the 23CM61 module drawing and the 23CP61
board outline drawing.

The red LED marked ERROR is lit when internal errors are present in the system. The cause of the
error can be found by activating the <RTUTIL> diagnostic program and examine the terminal status bit
masks or even more detailed information can be achieved by looking into the diagnostic buffer.

A flashing ERROR LED means a dynamic processing error, a permanently lit ERROR LED indicates a
serious internal error.

The green LED marked KON is flashing during the I/O configuration cycle. For each configured I/O
point the LED is toggled. The KON led is also flashing rapidly during FLASH memory updates after
downloading of configuration or LAF files.

The green LED marked RUN is lit during normal system operation. The RUN LED is flashing under
two conditions :

• When the internal MONITOR program is active. The MONITOR program is an integral part of the
main CPU SW and is only intended for internal system tests and program debugging. However,
some useful system debug functions are described in the USER MANUAL PART 3
INSTALLATION / COMMISSIONING / TROUBLESHOOTING.

• When a LAF program debug session is active ( PTS PC program running on MMI port )

The green LED marked SIM is lit a short moment after restart and thereafter during the I/O
configuration cycle, If no valid configuration files for the actual station address is found the SIM LED
stays lit in addition to the RUN led. The SIM LED is also flashing rapidly when a new program is
downloaded from the 23FL60 program loader board.

2.1.1.5 Communication ports

23CP61 has four RS232 communication ports :

• NFK Main communication port to Central Station ( CS )

• MMI Port for configuration, test and connection of Local Display and Control Unit ( LDCU )
• CPA Secondary communication port to CS ( redundant line )
• PRN Local printer port

Each port is connected through a 10 pole ribbon cable contact on 23CP61. A special RS232 adapter
called 23RS61 is used for connection of PC or external equipment to the serial ports. 23RS61 is
described in detail in the U.M. PART 3 INSTALLATION / COMMISSIONING / TROUBLESHOOTING
chapter 2.6.1.

Internal connections to the 23WT63 modem and the fiber optical adapter 23AD63 are made by means
of standard 10 pole ribbon cables.

2.1.2 23FL60, Program load and configuration

The 23FL60 board is designed to serve two purposes :

• Load program code from EPROM on 23FL60 to FLASH memory on the 23CP61 CPU board.

• Check and / or change basic configuration data.

Loading of program code is done the first time at the factory and thereafter each time a new revision
of the program needs to be updated.

Change of configuration data can also be done by means of a PC connected to the MMI port on
23CP61. However, it is a lot easier and quicker to check and change configuration data by means of
the 23FL60 board.

The 23FL60 board is plugged vertically into a board to board contact on 23CP61. When mounted a
LED display and a row of three push buttons are visible and accessible from the 23FL60 front as
shown below.

• Display , change and store basic configuration parameters

• HW test-program ( mainly for use in factory )

It is recommended that each customer using RTU211 has at least one 23FL60 board available. Even
if the basic system parameters can be changed and read by means of a portable PC running the
RTUTIL utility program, the 23FL60 solution has several practical advantages.

• Small size and little weight

• No power supply or cables needed .
• Quick connection, operation and disconnection to RTU211 system

If a new program version needs to be updated, the 23FL60 board is required ( not possible from PC
).

2.1.2.1 Operation of 23FL60 functions

2.1.2.1.1 Upgrade to new program version

The following steps are required :

• Switch the system power supply OFF

• Plug the 23FL60 program loader board into the 23CP61 CPU board

• Switch the system power supply ON

• After approximately 10 seconds the LED display on 23FL60 will show the following messages in
sequence :

ABB RTU 211

RUNNING PROGRAM VERSION X.XX
NEW PROGRAM VERSION Y.YY

If the version number for < NEW PROGRAM > is higher than the version number for
< RUNNING PROGRAM > the program load process can start. If not the user needs an upgrade of
the EPROM's on the 23FL60 board to the newest available program version.

• Now the program is ready to be loaded. Press the UP and ENTER push-buttons ( see Figure 8 )
simultaneously for at least 2 sec. The message sequence < CONFIRM PROGRAM UPDATE >
should come up. Then press ENTER to start program transfer. When the program load process is
started the following messages will be displayed : ERASE OK PROGRAM FL PROGRAM OK.
When the message PROGRAM OK is shown the new program code is written to the FLASH code
memory segment on 23CP61 and the system is ready to be restarted.

• Switch the system power supply OFF

• Remove the 23FL60 board from 23CP61
• Switch the system power supply ON. The system should now start up with the new program and
resume normal operation

The following procedure should be followed to enter the parameter check /change mode :

• Switch the system power supply OFF

• Plug the 23FL60 program loader board into the 23CP61 CPU board

• Switch the system power supply ON

• After approximately 10 seconds the LED display on 23FL60 will show the following messages in
sequence :

RUNNING PROGRAM VERSION X.XX

NEW PROGRAM VERSION Y.YY

• Press one of the three push buttons on 23FL60 and the parameter list mode is entered.
The display will show STATION XXX. By pressing either the UP or DOWN push-buttons all
parameter values can be examined. If it is required to change a parameter, ENTER is pressed
whereby the parameter value starts flashing Now a new parameter value can be selected by
means of the UP and DOWN push-buttons. When the value selection is finished ENTER is
pressed again and the flashing stops. Two types of parameters are used <list selections> and
<numeric values> . The <numeric value> parameters are changed differently compared to the
<list selection> described above. When edit mode is entered the following push-button
combinations are used :

UP Increment value by 1
DOWN Increment value by 10
UP & DOWN Increment value by 50

The first time UP & DOWN is pressed the value is reset to 0. In the first release of the
configuration program only seven parameters are included. Only one of these are of type
<numeric value>, the RTU211 station address.

When all parameters are set as required by the system, the DOWN and ENTER push-buttons are
pressed simultaneously and the message CONFIRM NEW SET-UP is shown on the display. By
pressing ENTER again the parameters are saved in the FLASH parameter block that is common to
the configuration program and the RTU211 application program.

2.1.2.1.3 Basic parameter storage concept

The basic parameters can either be downloaded to the RTU211 as a configuration file with extension
RTU_XXX.ED1 or by means of the 23FL60 board as described above. Since both the configuration
program on 23FL60 and the RTU211 application program are using the same parameter block, the
start address, length and format is defined equally in each program. Therefore the parameters are
stored in then 23CP61 FLASH memory chip at the address 80000H, which is the start of a segment
called BOOT BLOCK with length 8 kb. The principle for storage is simple :

The last parameter set entered is used , independent of source.

If no valid parameters are present ( first start-up after factory test or parameter checksum is wrong )
both the configuration program and the RTU211 application program will initialise the parameter block
with the following default value :

STATION ADDRESS 1

2.1.3 23WT63, V23 modem

23WT63 is the standard communication interface for RTU211. It can be used for point to point or
multi-drop lines, 2 wire half duplex or 4 wire full duplex operation. It can also be used to control an
external radio set for wireless communication.

The board has screw terminals for connections of the line and the control signals are routed through a
10 pole ribbon cable connected to the Main CPU board 23CP61. Several LED's , jumpers and
switches are provided for status control and configuration.

The maximum communication speed is 1200 baud.

23WT63 has 8 programming jumpers, X5 - X12. The possible positions for each jumper are described
in the text below.

2.1.3.1.1 Half or full duplex selection.

X6 is used to select either half duplex ( HDX ) operation or full duplex operation ( FDX ).
( See also description of 2 / 4 wire selection, X5 and X9 ) When mounted in the leftmost position ,
half duplex is selected. In the HDX mode the receiver function is blocked automatically when the
RTS signal is switched on for transmission. The receiver is also blocked for some ms after the RTS
signal is switched off.

2.1.3.1.2 Receive level selection.

The receiver circuit of 23WT63 has 2 selectable receive levels, -43 dbm or -27 dbm. When the jumper
X7 is in the leftmost position -27 dbm is selected. As a guideline the -27 dbm level should be

selected whenever possible , since this gives the best noise suppression. Only when the received
signal is to weak to operate at -27 dbm the -43 dbm range should be selected.

2.1.3.1.3 600 ohm line load connection.

The jumpers X8 and X10 are used to connect a 600 ohm load across the line. In 2 wire mode only
X10 is used. Load is connected with the following jumper positions:

X10 Upper position X8 Upper position.

When multiple 23WT63 modems are connected to a 2 wire multi-drop line jumper X10 should be
connected in the upper position for only one of the connected 23WT63,s. In this case neither the line
itself nor the modem at the control station must use line termination. In a 4 wire system the only
difference is that the jumper X8 also must be mounted in the leftmost position. ( On the same 23WT63
that has X10 in its upper position ) When the line itself is terminated or the modem at the control
station terminates the line , the jumpers X8 and X10 on all the 23WT63 modems must be mounted in
the no load positions.

2.1.3.1.4 2 or 4 wire line selection.

Jumper X5 and X9 is used for this selection.

Leftmost position 2 wire , Rightmost position 4 wire.

The user can select either 2 or 4 wire communication modes for 23WT63. 4 wire mode gives better
performance regarding signal / noise ratio and better suppression of own transmitted signal in full
duplex mode. However , 4 wire lines are more expensive to lease and install. In most cases a 2 wire
line will be sufficient.

2.1.3.1.5 Transmit level selections.

Three transmit levels are selectable by means of the jumpers X11 and X12 as shown on the assembly
drawing above. The possible selections are -13 dbm, -10 dbm and -6 dbm. All jumper positions are
shown on the 23WT63 assembly drawing above. The 23WT63 module is a modem for remote data
transfer using audio frequencies via private or leased non switched lines.

2.1.3.1.6 Description of LED indicators.

When the communication to the central station is OK, the DCD and RXD LED’s will be lit every time a
telegram is received. When the RTU answers back to the central station the RTS and the TXD LED’s
will be lit. When multiple RTU’s are connected on a multidrop line the DCD and RXD LED’s will be
flashing continuously while the intervals between each time the RTS and TXD signals are active will
depend on the number of RTU’s connected and the polling strategy of the central station.

2.1.4.1 Digital inputs

The digital inputs are divided in two groups of 8 channels, each having a common return terminal. The
inputs can take voltages in the range 18 - 45 VDC. The two groups are isolated from each other and
from the electronics by means of opto-couplers.

The 16 input channels can be configured in the same way as the 23BI60 / 23BI61 peripheral boards.
The following signal types can be used :

• Digital measured value ( Two groups of 8 bit or one group of 16 bits )

• Single indications
• Double indications
• Pulse counters

The time resolution for detection of state changes is 10 ms.

A green LED indicator is provided for each input to show signal status. These LED's are placed on the
power supply board in order to be visible when the boards are mounted together.

2.1.4.2 Digital outputs

Eight mechanical relays are provided for digital outputs. In addition two transistor outputs are included
for control of an external 'GO' relay and an external 'MEASURE' relay. The latter is used with the
1 of N control function.

A 10 pole ribbon cable contact is available on the 23PU62 / 63 power supply boards for connection to
the relay interposing module 23RL60.

The 8 outputs can be configured two the same command types as 23BO60 / 23BO61
peripheral boards :

• General output message ( 8 bit )

• General output message ( single )
• Set-point message with strobe ( 8 bit )
• Pulse command 1 pole
• Pulse command 1.5 pole ( with 'GO' relay )
• Pulse command 2 pole ( with or without 'GO' relay )
• Regulation command

A green LED indicator is provided for each output to show actual status.

Figure 11 Principle connection for 1.5 pole command with 1 OF N control

The drawing above shows the external connection for a 1.5 pole pulse command with 1 of N control.
The measure relay k3 is optional and may be omitted. The use of k3 prevents the voltage across the 1
of N control circuit to be permanently connected to the external relay circuits.

The 1 of N control measurement circuit is adjusted by means of potentiometer R3 ( see Figure 10 ).

R3 is used for gain control and is normally adjusted and sealed from factory.

2.1.4.2.2 Selection of permanent or pulsed outputs

23IO96 has a jumper X2 which is used to select either permanent outputs ( position 1-2 ) or internal
1.5 pole connection ( position 2-3 ). When all outputs are configured as pulse commands, the internal
1.5 pole connection provides additional security without using external relays. This mode can only be
used if all the 8 outputs are configured as pulse commands.

2.1.4.2.3 Command security

The outputs are secured against unwanted activation at power up. A delay function blocks all the relay
driver circuits approximately 5 seconds after power up. In addition the SYSTEM RESET signal is
connected to the output latch. This means that no outputs can be activated before the main CPU SW
has started. One of the first actions in the application program is to reset the command output latch.

RTU211 PART 1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION page 24
USER MANUAL

2.1.4.3 Analog inputs

The analog input section of 23IO96 has 6 differential unipolar / bipolar channels for current and
voltage signals.

The inputs channels are not optically isolated from the internal power supply, but they are well
protected against dynamic transients and can withstand permanent DC voltages up to 150 V.
( Between one input terminal and ground ).

Each input has a dual pole connection and can take wires up to 2.5 mm2. The signals are connected
to a removable terminal block for easy installation and maintenance.

The following measurement ranges are implemented :

Current: 0 - 2.5 mA, +/- 2.5 mA

0 - 5 mA, +/- 5 mA
0 - 10 mA, +/- 10 mA
0 - 20 mA, +/- 20 mA
4 - 20 mA

Voltage: 0 - 1.00 V, +/- 1.00 V

0 - 10.00 V, +/- 10.00 V

All current ranges are automatically selected by firmware according to the downloaded parameters.

The channel multiplexer and the A/D converter are both controlled by the main CPU SW over an
8 bit parallel bus ( between 23IO96 and 23CP61 ).

A voltage to frequency converter ( VFC ) is used for analog to digital conversion. The pulses from the
VFC are counted by a 16 bit HW counter and the counting period ( sample time ) is set according to
the mains frequency used in the external process ( 50,60 or 16 2/3 Hz). This principle gives good
filtering of mains frequency noise superimposed on the DC levels of the input signals.

Two internal channels are used for auto-calibration of the measurement system, whereby errors
caused by long term drift in components are compensated. Initial gain deviations due to component
tolerances are also compensated.

The full scale representation for all analog measurands are +/- 2000 counts ( decimal ). For all
ranges except 4 - 20 mA, both unipolar and bipolar signals can be connected.

The 4 - 20 mA range takes only unipolar positive signals. The measured value is scaled by FW to get
rid of the offset value represented by 4 mA. The resolution for the active range is thereby reduced by
approx. 20%. The advantage is that broken wires in the external current loop from the transmitter is
detected by FW and an alarm is generated ( When the current falls below 2 mA ). This occurs also if
the transducer itself is damaged and generates a current signal below or above the defined range.
This operational mode is also called 'Live zero' supervision.

ABB KRAFT A/S NORWAY

ABB Network Partner 9BEU355115 Rev.B

RTU211 PART 1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION page 25
USER MANUAL

The analog channels have a FW selectable integration time for analog to digital ( ADC ) conversion.
This parameter should be selected in accordance with the AC voltages used in the external process.

Three integration times are supported :

20.00 ms ( 50Hz ), 16.67 ms ( 60Hz ) and 66.67 ms ( 16 2/3 Hz )

A complete scan cycle means the time it takes to get a complete set of analog values for all
configured channels.

The total scan cycle is calculated as follows : n*(t+k)

Where n is the number of configured channels, t is the selected integration time and k is the time it
takes to stabilise the channel multiplexer ( approx. 5 ms ).

ex)

The total scan cycle for 6 channels and 20 ms integration time is : 6 * ( 20 + 5 ) = 150 ms

The total scan cycle for 6 channels and 67 ms integration time is : 6 * ( 67 + 5 ) = 432 ms

The total scan cycle for 2 channels and 20 ms integration time is : 2 * ( 20 + 5 ) = 50 ms

At a predefined interval ( once pr. minute ) the two internal channels are sampled and converted to
calibration values.

2.1.4.3.1 Calibration and jumper settings

When the 1.00 V range is used for one or more channels the corresponding input shunt resistor
must be removed.

When the 10.00 V range is used, the jumper X1 and all shunt resistors must be removed.

The potentiometers R1 ( offset ) and R2 ( gain ) are normally adjusted and sealed from the factory.
However, if the 10.00 V range is selected ( and the current shunt resistors are removed ) the gain
potentiometer needs to be re-calibrated. This is done by means of the TTC utility program ( included in
RTUTIL ) which is displaying analog values in the range 0 - 2000 count. Correct calibration is
achieved by connecting a 10 V precision voltage source to the input of channel 1 and adjust the gain
potentiometer R2 until the TTC value is 2000.

23PU63 is the standard internal power supply for RTU211. It can deliver up to 25 W with the input
voltage ranging from 24 - 110 VDC. The following output voltages are generated

• +5V 1.0 A
• +15V 0.2 A
• -15V 0.2 A
• +18V 1.0 A
• +24V 0.5 A

The values for output current is only indicated to see the maximum value that can be drawn from each
individual output. The total consumption is always limited to the 25 W value. One 23PU63 board can
feed a system that is configured with up to 16 I/O boards in any combination within 4 I/O modules ( in
addition to the basic system consisting of 23IO96, 23CP61 and 23WT63 ).

23PU63 is also used as supply for REMOTE I/O systems as shown in Figure 2. In this case the

2.1.7.1.2 Test and monitoring functions

To ensure that the battery is in good condition and that the battery fuses and wiring are OK, a cyclic
test is performed every 10 minutes. A test circuit loads the battery with 2.5 A for approximately 500
ms. During this test the battery voltage is measured and if it is above a pre-set limit of approx. 22 V no
action occur. If the voltage falls below the limit an alarm is generated both locally and to the remote
control station. The test gives alarm both for broken fuse, open wire or low battery capacity.

The alarm signal is connected as shown in Figure 15 and four signal conditions are possible :

• Normal operation Test circuit closed

• AC FAIL Test circuit switching with 0.5 Hz
• BATTERY FAIL Test circuit switching with 2.0 Hz
• Connection error Test circuit open

If the 23BC60 board is not used, the ACF / BF monitoring input on 23CP61 must be connected to a
fixed 24 VDC source ( main supply or process voltage ).

If 23BC60 is used without battery backup, the jumper X1 must be removed. This means that the cyclic
battery test is disabled and no alarms will occur.

2.2 Electronic boards , I/O

All I/O boards ( except the adapters 23AD6X and the 23RL60 ) are intelligent boards with its own
micro-controller (µC) and memory. The various features described below are mainly implemented in
the µC firmware , and can be changed by sending parameters from EDU211 or as function tables in
the RP 570 protocol. When the parameters are received and accepted by the main CPU ( 23CP61 )
they are sent over the serial I/O bus to the selected I/O board.

2.2.1 I/O board addressing concept

An I/O rack is a logical group of up to 16 I/O boards organised as 1 - 4 I/O modules. An I/O module
is a physical unit that consist of an adapter board connected to from one to four I/O boards in any
combination.

The I/O that is directly connected to the 23CP61 CPU board has the fixed rack address 0.
In this rack the three I/O sections are given the following board addresses :

• 16 digital inputs 1
• 8 digital outputs 3
• 6 analog inputs 2

The I/O modules that are connected to the expansion contact of the CPU board are automatically
included in rack 1. Additional expansion racks can be configured by means of DIL switches ( on the
23AD64 adapter board ) to rack addresses from 2 - 7. The I/O address concept described above gives
the following I/O capacity for RTU211 :

16 board X 7 racks = 112 boards + 16 DI, 8 DO and 6 AI in rack 0.

The maximum number of I/O channels for one specified system is therefore dependent on the type of
boards that are used. The logical address for one I/O board is built as follows :

RTU211 PART 1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION page 31
USER MANUAL

The table below shows the relationship between the logical board address ( hexadecimal ) and
physical board position within the rack and module. The 4 rows in the table represents the I/O
module positions. The rightmost column within each rack represents the boards I/O boards connected
to the 23AD62, 23AD63 or 23AD64 adapter boards.

The address disorder in both horisontal direction ( x1-x2-x4-x3 ) and in vertical direction
( y1-y5-yD-y9 ) is caused by the HW implementation for automatic address generation.

When the EDU211 configuration program is used, the board addresses are also generated
automatically. However, users that are building configuration tables in central control systems as
S.P.I.D.E.R, MINISCADA and MicroSCADA might need the information in the tables below.

USER MANUAL

2.2.4.1 Detailed description of 23AD64 functions

2.2.4.1.1 Power supply

23AD64 can use either 23PU62 or 23PU63 as power supply for internal circuits and I/O boards.
However, when using 23PU62, the following limitations apply :

• Maximum 4 I/O boards can be used

• The 23BO60 and 23AO60 boards can not be used

A 23AD64 board with power supply 23PU63 can feed up to 16 I/O boards in any combinations.

For standardisation purpose the 23PU62 and 23PU63 boards are the same versions that are plugged
into the 23IO96 board in the basic system ( even if the status LED's for digital inputs and outputs and
the expansion contact for 23RL60 are not used ).

The main supply is connected to the terminals X6:1 (+) and X6:2 (-). The 24 V process supply output
can be taken from terminals X6:4 (+) and X4:5 (-).

The terminal block X7 gives access to all the internal supply voltages from 23PU62 / 23PU63. These
terminals are primarily intended for test purpose, but in cases where supply is needed for external
equipment it can be connected here as long as the power supply specifications are not violated.
It is the users own responsibility to calculate the available capacity depending on the I/O configuration.

2.2.4.1.2 RS485 interface

23AD64 has two sets of RS485 connection terminal blocks, X1 and X2. No electrical buffering is
included and the signals TA,TB and GND are connected directly in parallell.

2.2.4.1.3 Fiber cable interface

Two sets of duplex fiber cable transceivers are mounted on 23AD64.

One set ( X3 ) is used for connection to 'higher system' which means to an 23AD63 board in the basic
system or another 23AD64 board higher up in the 'daisy chain' ( closer to the main CPU ).

The other set ( X4 ) is used to extend the fiber optical bus to the next ( lower ) REMOTE I/O location.

There is no physical limit to the number of 23AD64 boards that are included in the 'daisy chain' since
each unit has its own power supply. However, the total number of available I/O board addresses
dictates the logical maximum to 7 X 16 boards = 112.

2.2.4.1.4 LED description

4 LED's are provided for monitoring of I/O bus communication as follows

• H1 is flashing data is received from 'higher system' either on fiber cable or through the RS485 bus.

• H2 is flashing whenever I/O boards within the same module are responding

• H3 is flashing when I/O boards within same module or other module on same local I/O bus is
responding

• H4 is flashing when data is received from lower fiber optical system ( through X4 )

2.2.4.1.5 Rack and board address

23AD64 has two 4 pole DIL switches, one for selection of rack address ( S1 ) and one for selection of
I/O board start address within module ( S2 ).

For REMOTE I/O modules the rack address can be selected in the range 2....7.

In DIL switch S1 only the three lowest switches ( 1,2 and 3 ) are used.
The following switch positions are valid for rack selection :

RACK NO. SW1 SW2 SW3

2 ON OFF OFF
3 OFF ON OFF
4 ON ON OFF
5 OFF OFF ON
6 ON OFF ON
7 OFF ON ON

Normally S1 (rack address ) is the only switch that needs to be programmed in a REMOTE I/O
system. If all switches in S2 are in the OFF position the board address selection is automatic as
described in chapter 2.2.1 I/O board addressing concept.

However, if more than six 23AD64 boards ( REMOTE I/O modules ) are present in one system all
the rack addresses are used. In this situation it is possible to use free addresses in
rack 2- 7 by selecting a board start address by means of DIL switch S2 as shown in the table below .

2.2.5.1 Board description

The binary input board has 16 channels for monitoring of active voltage signals from the process.

Each input is isolated from the electronics and from the neighbour channels by means of
optocouplers.

23BI60 is available in 2 versions, 24-48 V and 60-110 V.

Each input has a dual pole connection and can take wires up to 2.5 mm2. The signals are connected
by means of screw terminals to removable terminal blocks for easy installation and maintenance.

23BI60 is an intelligent board with its own micro-controller ( µC ) and memory. The various features
described below are mainly implemented in the µC firmware , and can be changed by sending
parameters from EDU211 or as function tables in the RP 570 protocol. When the parameters are
received and accepted by the main CPU (23CP61) they are sent over the serial I/O bus to the
selected 23BI60 board.

The input channels are scanned with a time resolution of 1 ms.

23BI60 can process the following signal types :

• 16 single indications with absolute time ( SI ).

• 8 double indications with absolute time ( DI )
• 2 digital measured values each with 8 bit ( DM8 )
• 1 digital measured value with 16 bit ( DM16 )
• 8 pulse counters, one channel pr. counter ( PC )

A status LED is provided for each of the 16 input channels. The LED is lit when an accepted voltage
level is applied to the corresponding input terminal.

Single indications are represented by only one bit characterising two determined states of the input
signal. Whenever a signal transition occurs, an event message is generated and sent over the serial
bus to the main CPU.

Double indications are represented by two bits characterising four determined states of the input
signal.

• 10 normal operation (OFF)

• 01 normal operation (ON)
• 00 intermediate state
• 11 error state

23BO60 has 8 command output channels for control of external process functions. Each output is
isolated from the electronics and from its neighbour channels. 1 pole , 1.5 pole and 2 pole pulse
commands are supported. In addition an 8 bit general message or setpoint message can be
configured.

1.5 pole commands are always performed by using an additional 2 pole control relay with changeover
contacts for switching the process voltage to the external circuit , whereby improved security is
achieved. 2 pole commands can be used with or without this control relay.

Each output has a dual pole connection and can take wires up to 2.5 mm2. The signals are connected
to screw terminals on removable terminal blocks for easy installation and maintenance.
23BO60 can process the following command types:

• Pulse commands.
• Regulation commands
• General output message ( 8 bit or 1 bit).
• Set-point command with strobe ( 8 bit ).

ABB KRAFT A/S NORWAY

RTU211 PART 1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION page 41
USER MANUAL

One yellow LED is available for each output channel. When the LED is lit , the corresponding
command relay is activated.

A separate yellow LED is provided for the command control relay used for 1.5 pole, 2 pole commands
and set-point strobe signal.

Two red LED's are also included . One is used for indication of internal errors in the 23BO60 firmware.
The other is used for indication of errors in the output relay control circuits or to indicate that the
control voltage from the main CPU board is missing.

2.2.7.1.1 Pulse Commands.

Pulse commands are commands that are active for a time period from 0.1 to 25.5 seconds.

Four pulse command output types can be configured through RP570 / 571 function tables or the
EDU211 :

These are 1 pole , 1.5 pole, 2 pole and LAF commands.

Commands of type 1 / 1.5 pole and 2 pole can not be mixed within the same 23BO60 board.

Pulse commands occupy two output channels for 1 pole and four output channels for 2 pole
configurations.

When increased security is required for process commands, a special function called 'Select before
operate' can be used. In this mode the command is carried out in two steps. In the first step the
operational status of the 23BO60 board corresponding to the selected channel is checked. If the
board and the selected channel are OK, a positive acknowledge telegram is sent back to the central
station. In the case of error a negative acknowledge telegram is sent. After positive acknowledge the
system enters an intermediate state where an execute command is expected from the operator.

This state is terminated by one of the following events :

• The command is executed by the operator ( step two )

• A 'deselect' command is executed by the operator
• After a time-out of approx. 22 seconds

2.2.7.1.2 Regulation commands.

Regulation commands are basically similar to pulse commands, but offer the possibility for varying
output pulse duration through re-triggering of a currently active output.

Possible command output types are as for pulse commands except 1.5 pole , which is not possible.

Regulation commands occupy two output channels for 1 pole and four output channels for 2 pole
configurations.

2.2.7.1.3 Set-point command.

Set-point commands results in a pulsed output of the command value. Only 8 bit output is possible
for set-point commands.

Set-point values are qualified by means of a strobe signal from a separate command output called the
'GO' relay.

The set-point value Q1 - Q8 is set up approx. 30 mS before the start of the strobe signal, which has a
fixed length of 500 mS. The set-point value and the strobe signal are switched off at the same time.

2.2.7.1.4 General output message ( GOM ).

GOM commands result in persistent output of the command value, which can be changed
(overwritten) by another GOM with a new value for the same object at any time. Two output types are
available, single and 8 bit.

The single GOM's can be mixed with 1 and 1.5 pole pulse commands and 1 pole regulation
commands within the same 23BO60 board.

2.2.7.1.5 1 of N control.

The binary output board 23BO60 has a special function, called 1 of N control. This function is
implemented to improve security when commands are executed.

Before a pulse command is executed the resistance of the external process relay is measured. If the
result of the measurement is inside the limits given as parameters, the command is executed. If not,
an error message is generated and the command is aborted. The measurement circuit can measure
external coil resistance's between 10 and 10000 ohms.

• Reduced power consumption
• Ribbon cable contact for direct connection to the 23RL60 relay interposing board
• Reduced wiring to external circuits, due to internal common return wire
• Solid state outputs have better switching performance when connected to logic

In principle the 23BO61 / 23RL60 board combination have the same basic function as the 23BO60.
However, for some applications the new boards has superior functionality compared to 23BO60 and in
the list below a guideline for selection is given :

When should the 23BO60 be used :

• For pulse commands when only one closing contact is required

• When the contact switching capacity of 23BO60 is sufficient
• When interposing relays are not used ( required )
• When one of N control function is required

When should the 23BO61 be used :

• For control of lamps and LED's

• For control of logic inputs to external devices ( TTL, CMOS ... )
• For compact cubicle arrangements
• When more than 16 outputs will be activated at the same time
( the internal supply for relays is limited to approx. 0.3 A )
• In small systems that needs only 1...4 outputs

When should 23BO61 and 23RL60 be used :

• When double contact sets or change over contacts are required

In systems where interposing relays are required
• When the 23BO60 switching capacity is to low
• In very hostile process environments
• For compact cubicle solutions where 23RL60 cards can be placed on cubicle side plate
or in other cubicle
• In systems where many outputs can be activated at the same time
• In systems that needs 110V DC and / or 220V AC on the contact side
In systems that needs relays to be mounted in sockets.

2.2.8.1 Board description

23BO61 has 8 command output channels for control of external process functions. The outputs are
isolated from the electronics by means of opto-coupled solid state relays and they have a common
return connection. This means that they are not individually isolated. An additional output channel (
GO relay ) is provided for switching the control voltage in 1.5 or 2 pole connections . This output is
also used as strobe signal for commands of type ' 8 bit Set-point Message'.

The output circuits are protected against wrong polarity connections and connection of external supply
direct to an open relay ( solid state switch ). The board needs a 24 VDC auxiliary voltage as supply for
the short circuit protection circuits. When a 23RL60 board is connected, the same voltage is used as
supply for the relays on this board. Normally the process voltage from 23PU63 is used as supply. The
required supply capacity is dependent of the number of connected 23RL60 boards and the number of
simultaneously activated relays. Each relay needs 0.02 A , which means that approximately 30 relays
can be activated at the same time. When the relays are configured as pulse commands there is no
limit to the number of connected 23RL60 boards.

Each of the 8 command outputs have a yellow LED for indication of status. The LED is lit when the
output is activated. The control output ( GO relay ) has a green LED. A red LED is provided for
indication of board errors. The signals are connected to screw terminals on a removable terminal
block for easy installation and maintenance. The terminals can take wires with a cross section up to
2.5 mm2.

ABB KRAFT A/S NORWAY

USER MANUAL

23BO61 can process the following command types:

• Pulse commands.
• Regulation commands
• General output message ( 8 bit or 1 bit).
• Set-point command with strobe ( 8 bit ).

The functionality for 23BO61 is identical to 23BO60 ( described above ).

However, one difference is that the 1 of N control function is not supported by 23BO61.

2.2.8.1.1 Short circuit protection

Solid state relays are generally more sensible to over voltage and short circuit current than
mechanical relays. Therefore the 23BO61 is board equipped with protection circuits to prevent
damage from abnormal external events.

Voltage transient protection is implemented with bipolar transorbs that cuts any voltage outside
the limit of +/- 60 V.

The principle for load current monitoring is as follows :

Each output stage ( solid state switch ) has a sense resistor of 2.2 ohms and a voltage comparator.
When the load current exceeds the limit set by the comparator reference voltage, a signal sets a flip /
flop on the electronic side of the board ( over an opto-coupler ). When this occurs all the outputs are
switched off immediately. The status of the flip / flop is sampled by the micro controller each
millisecond and when the FW detects that it has been set a reset sequence is started. This sequence
generates 10 short reset pulses ( 2 microsec. ) with an interval of 1 millisec. If the duration of the
overload situation last longer than the reset pulse train, the outputs will be blocked and the board is
out of service. However, at intervals of approx. 3 seconds the reset pulse train is repeated endlessly.
This means that if the short circuit / overload condition is removed the flip / flop will be reset and the
board resumes normal operation.
When the overload has been present for approx. 10 seconds a diagnostic error message is generated
to the main CPU. When the overload condition is removed a corresponding OK message is
generated.

The load current monitoring circuit handles both a overload condition and short circuit caused by a low
impedance voltage source being connected directly to an activated output. ( Switch ON ).
The latter case will often occur during installation and commissioning due to errors in connection
diagrams or fault by the electricians.

2.2.9.1 Board description

The analog input board has 6 differential unipolar / bipolar channels for current and voltage signals.

The inputs channels are not potentially isolated from the internal power supply, but they are well
protected against dynamic transients and can withstand permanent DC voltages up to 150 V.
(Between one input terminal and ground).

Each input has a dual pole connection and can take wires up to 2.5 mm2. The signals are connected
to a removable terminal block for easy installation and maintenance.

23AI60 uses a voltage to frequency converter ( VFC ) for analog to digital conversion. The pulses from
the VFC are counted by an internal counter in the µC and the counting period is set according to the
mains frequency used in the external process ( 50,60 or 16 2/3 Hz). This principle gives good filtering
of mains frequency noise superimposed on the DC levels of the input signals.

Two internal channels are used for auto-calibration of the measurement system, whereby errors
caused by long term drift in components are compensated. Initial gain deviations due to component
tolerances are also compensated. ( No trimming needed)

23AI60 has the following measurement ranges :

Current: 0 - 2.5 mA, +/- 2.5 mA

0 - 5 mA, +/- 5 mA
0 - 10 mA, +/- 10 mA
0 - 20 mA, +/- 20 mA
4 - 20 mA

Voltage: 0 - 1.00 V, +/- 1.00 V

0 - 10.00 V, +/- 10.00 V

All current ranges are automatically selected by Firmware according to the downloaded parameters.

When the 1.00 V range is used for one or more channels the corresponding input shunt resistor
must be removed. When the 10.00 V range is used, the jumper X4 and all shunt resistors must
be removed.

The full scale representation for all analog measurands are +/- 2000 counts ( decimal ). For all
ranges except 4 - 20 mA, both unipolar and bipolar signals can be connected.

The 4 - 20 mA range takes only unipolar positive signals. The measured value is scaled by FW to get
rid of the offset value represented by 4 mA. The resolution for the active range is thereby reduced by
approx. 20%. The advantage is that broken wires in the external current loop from the transmitter is
detected by FW and an alarm is generated ( When the current falls below 2 mA ). This occurs also if
the transducer itself is damaged and generates a current signal below or above the defined range.
This operational mode is also called 'Live zero'.

23AI60 has a firmware selectable integration time for analog to digital ( ADC ) conversion. This
parameter should be selected in accordance with the AC voltages used in the external process.

Three integration times are supported :

20.00 ms ( 50Hz ), 16.67 ms ( 60Hz ) and 66.67 ms ( 16 2/3 Hz )

The total scan cycle for 23AI60 is affected as shown in the table below :

50 Hz : (20 * N ) * CH = 480 ms
60 Hz : (16.67 * N ) * CH = 400 ms
16 2/3 Hz : (66.67 * N ) * CH = 1600 ms

N=3 1 period used for ADC conversion.

1 idle period for RTU 200 compatibility.
1 period used for calculations and to stabilise the channel multiplexer.

CH = 8 No. of channels pr. scan cycle.

( 6 process channels + 2 internal calibration ch.)

2.2.10.1 Board description

23PT60 is a 6 channel analog input board for temperature measurements. It uses a 4 wire
connection for each channel. The principle is that a precision current signal is fed through the PT 100
element in two wires and the voltage across the PT100 is measured with the other two wires. This
concept removes the error in measurement caused by wire resistance.

23PT60 use the same Firmware as 23AI60 and therefore the general description of the board is not
repeated here. The principle HW design is also the same. However , some differences are outlined
below :

• Only one measurement range can be configured, +/- 20 mA.

• The board length is 140 mm ( 23AI60 is 70 mm )

• The input signal is a variable resistance value rather than a current signal.

• 23PT60 has a total measurement range from -200 C to +200 C.

( Specified accuracy from - 25 to +150 C )
The resolution is 0.1 C pr. bit.

23AO60 has two analog output channels which are isolated from the electronics by means of opto-
couplers. However, there is no individual isolation between the two channels. If this is required,
two separate 23AO60 boards must be used. The output channels can be configured for current or
voltage signals by means of jumpers.

For current output 5 ranges are selectable :

+/- 2.5 mA, +/- 5.0 mA, +/- 10.0 mA, +/- 20.0 mA, 4 - 20.0 mA

For voltage output 4 ranges are selectable :

RTU211 PART 1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION page 50
USER MANUAL

All ranges except 4 - 20 mA are bipolar with resolution 11 bit plus sign-bit.
( Value range 0 -> +/- 2000 )

The signals are connected to removable screw terminals which can take wires up to 2.5 mm2.

23AO60 is an intelligent board with its own micro controller ( µC ) and memory. The various features
described below are mainly implemented in the µC firmware , and can be changed by sending
parameters from EDU211 or as function tables in the RP 570 protocol. When the parameters are
received and accepted by the main CPU ( 23CP61 ) they are sent over the serial RS485 bus to the
selected 23AO60 board.

23AO60 supports two output command types , General Output Message ( GOM ) and Set Point
Message ( SPM ). The difference between the GOM and SPM is that the latter generates a strobe
signal in addition to sending out the output value. For SPM only one parameter is available. This
parameter can be selected to LINEAR or LIVE ZERO ( 4-20 mA ). When LINEAR is selected the
output is automatically bipolar. GOM has the same parameter but in addition another parameter can
select either UNIPOLAR or BIPOLAR output value.

The resolution for the output signal is 11 bit ( 2048 ). Since 20 mA is represented by the value 2000 a
small over-range is possible.

The electronic circuits on the process side are supplied with +/- 15V from an internal DC/DC
converter. This converter is normally fed from the internal supply +15V REL, which is also used as
supply for relays on the binary output boards 23BO60. ( Selectable by means of jumpers on the
23AO60 board )

The screw terminal labelled GND is an internal ground connection and must be connected to the
mounting plate with as short wire as possible. The purpose of this connection is decoupling of
incoming voltage transients to the ground plane.

The table below shows the various voltage and current ranges that can be selected by means of the
DIL switch S1.

2.2.12.1 Board description

The relay board has 8 high capacity relays mounted on sockets for easy test and troubleshooting.
The 8 jumpers S1 .. S8 are included to allow mixing of permanent and pulsed outputs.

The board is available in three versions :

23RL60 R1 Standard version with two change-over contacts

23RL60 R2 Special version for switching of high DC voltage and current
23RL60 R3 Same as version R1 but with screw terminals for connection to the relay coils.

ABB KRAFT A/S NORWAY

ABB Network Partner 9BEU355115 Rev.B

RTU211 PART 1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION page 52
USER MANUAL

23RL60 R1 has the following features :

• 8 relays with 2 changeover contacts ( 6 connection terminals pr. relay )

Relays are mounted in sockets with hold down clips
• 10 pole ribbon cable contact for connection to 23BO61
• Flexible mounting in cubicle
• High contact switching capacity
• Status LED for each output
• Very good EMC performance and high isolation level

23RL60 R2 is a special version with two sets of normally open contacts. By connecting these contacts
in series, a very high switching capacity for DC voltage and current is achieved. However, with this
connection ( loop between terminal 2 and 5 and signal between 1 and 6 ) only one normally open
contact can be used for each relay.

23RL60 R3 has the same relay as version R1 but the ribbon cable for connection of the coil signals is
replaced by screw terminals, meaning that this version can be used as a general purpose interposing
relay module.

2.3 Remote I/O

The RTU211 system concept is well suited for REMOTE I/O applications and decentralised installation
of I/O modules. The choice between fiber optical cable or a three wire RS485 bus ( or combinations
of the two ) as interconnection media, provides for large flexibility regarding physical placement and
building of various system structures. REMOTE I/O modules can be connected either in a 'daisy
chain' or in a star configuration.

The standard fiber optical interface is designed for use of low cost plastic fiber cable and has a
maximum transmission distance of approximately 100 m.

The REMOTE I/O interface adapters 23AD63 and 23AD64 are also available with transceivers for
glass fiber cable with a maximum transmission distance of up to 2 km. However, customers who
want to use this option are kindly requested to contact the ABB KRAFT sales department to clarify
some technical matters regarding fiber cable type and terminating connectors. In many cases the
customer does already have a fiber cable available for the RTU211 REMOTE I/O application and in
this case it is important to terminate the cable with connector types that matches the connectors on
the 23AD63 and 23AD64 interface boards.

Technical specifications for fiber cable and connectors are given in chapter 3 TECHNICAL DATA

The transmission speed for REMOTE I/O is 19200 baud both for RS485 and fiber optical bus.

REMOTE I/O is completely transparent to local I/O seen from the main CPU, 23CP61 and from the I/O
configuration tool EDU211.

Figure 29 below shows a typical REMOTE I/O application in which both fiber optical cable and RS485
wired bus is used.

The example below shows a typical REMOTE I/O application in star configuration. Up to four
23AD63 adapters in the basic system can be connected in parallel by means of a 'daisy chain' ribbon
cable. The advantage by using the star configuration is that if the communication in one branch fails
the others will still operate. The disadvantage is that it for some systems require a lot more fiber cable.
However, this depends very much of the physical placement ( topology ) of the REMOTE I/O modules
( some guidelines for REMOTE I/O configurations are given below ).

Figure 30 Remote I/O system ( example 2 )

Figure 31 and Figure 32 below illustrates various combinations of physical location for REMOTE I/O
modules and interconnection method ( star or 'daisy chain' ). For systems that can only perform
useful operation when all I/O modules are in order, the 'daisy chain' method should be used for
interconnection, In this case the cost of fiber cable and fiber cable adapters is significantly reduced
compared to the star configured systems ( b and d ). Since the system itself ( LAF program or
SCADA functions ) cannot tolerate partial loss of I/O, it is no point in keeping a part of the I/O
subsystem 'alive'.

If the RTU211 is configured for REMOTE I/O locations with autonom monitoring and control functions,
such as several equal power generators, pump stations i.e., the star configuration should be used. If
the bus communication fails in one branch the remaining I/O locations will continue to operate without
any disturbance.
