SEL Communications Processor and Relay 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).
Figure C.3 Enhancing Multidrop Networks With SEL Communications
Processors
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 by use of existing IEDs
with serial ports
