SEL Communications Processor and Meter Architecture
Enhancing
Multidrop Networks
You can also use an SEL communications processor to enhance a multidrop
architecture similar to the one shown in Figure C.3. In this example, the SEL
communications processor enhances a system that uses the SEL-2701 with an
Ethernet HMI multidrop network. In the example, there are two Ethernet
networks, the SCADA LAN and the Engineering LAN. The SCADA LAN
provides real-time data directly to the SCADA Control Center via a protocol
gateway and to the HMI (Human Machine Interface).
In this example, the SEL communications processor provides the following
enhancements when compared to a system that employs only the multidrop
network:
➤ Ethernet access for IEDs with serial ports
➤ Backup engineering access through the dial-in modem
➤ IRIG-B time signal distribution to all station IEDs
➤ Integration of IEDs without Ethernet
➤ Single point of access for real-time data for SCADA, HMI, and
other uses
➤ Significant cost savings through use of existing IEDs with
serial ports
