2.3 GARD 8000 ARCHITECTURE
The GARD 8000 System consists of a Base System, Interface Modules, Function Modules and
Optional Modules. The Base System is the minimum module complement that the GARD 8000 system
can have. One or more modules or module sets must be added to the base system to give it
“functionality”.
The Base System consists of the following modules:
Controller Module
Power Supply Module
Display With TPS Module*
Power Supply I/O Module
System I/O Module
* A display only Module is also available.
The Interface Modules consist of the following modules:
Input and Output Modules
Communication Modules
The following Function Modules are available and the system is equipped with these according to the
system application:
Additional TPS Module
Distance Protection Module (module set)
Current Differential Module (module set)
Digital Fault Recorder
Power Line Carrier (module set)
Ethernet TPS Module
The following Optional Modules are available:
Second Power Supply Module
TSD (Touch Screen Display)
GPS (Global Positioning System)
Second Controller Module (6U chassis only)
Metering Module
Telemetry Transmitter Module
Ethernet TPS Module
DNP3 Module
The Base System includes one RS-449/ X.21/ V.35 digital Interface, built into the Display with TPS
module. Access is through a 37-pin connector on the Power Supply I/O module. An optional G.703
digital interface utilizing a 15-pin connector is also available in place of the above. The user must
program which one of the interface types is desired for their system, RS-449, X.21, V.35 or G.703.
The Base System modules have fixed locations (slots) in the chassis. All Interface, Function and
Optional Modules can be located in any free slot.
Any Interface, Function or Optional Module may also be added to a GARD 8000 System in the field.
Note: All chassis illustrations are shown with the front cover removed.
