ADR200A

Station Controller
ASHIDA ARTU is based designed around ASHIDA Station Controller ADR200A. This intelligent device communicates
with a number of slave devices (DI, DO Cards, Numerical Relays, etc.) & compiles this information which serves as a
single database of the entire sub-station. This compiled information can then be communicated simultaneously with
Local / Remote Substation as well as Load Dispatch Centre using standard open protocol

Station Controller gathers information from digital input, digital output & analog input cards. It has a combination of five
communication ports. Two RS 232 ports can be used for SCADA PC communication on IEC 60870-5-101 or SPORT
protocol. One Ethernet port can be used for communication on IEC 60870-5-104 protocol. One RS 485 port is used for
communication with Numerical Relays on IEC 60870-5-103 protocol. One more RS 485 port is used for communication
with Energy Meters on MODBUS.

Station Controller performs the following tasks

l Continuous scanning of all DI/DO/AI cards & Numeric relays for updated parameter values & events.
l Sending control operation command to numeric relays or digital output cards.
l Display all acquired information locally on LCD.
l Provide all information to control room via communication link on demand.
l Sending updated parameters values to RCC as response to commands.

ASHIDA Remote Terminal Unit

ASHIDA Sub-station Automation System (ASCADA-SAS) for Utilities is complete solution for remote control & Monitoring of
switching / feeding station. The system consists of SCADA Software on servers at Remote Control Center (RCC Equipment),
Communication Media and ARTUs at the remote stations.

The ARTU in turn acquires most of the status / alarm information from communicable protection relays. Main parts of ASHIDA
RTU are a Station Controller, DI / DO & AI Cards and other accessories. The design is different from conventional ARTUs in that it
interfaces with AI, DI & DO cards using communication link rather using hard-wired communication. Although this necessitates
that all cards have a separate controller of its own, it has been so designed that ARTU can interface with communicable
protection relays & communicable Multi-function electrical meters. Thus making the ARTU virtually future-proof.

The ASHIDA RTU is a single unit for the entire substation for monitoring & controlling all bays in the substation. The ARTU has a
redundant power supply. The ARTU can communicate with the Numerical Relays and Energy Meters and can be interlinked with
these through Fiber Optic cable / copper cable in ring /star network. The ARTU can be time-synchronized from remote.

The ARTU features:

l Robust power supplies capable of withstanding surges and operate at +/- 20% of rated voltage.
l Compliance to internationally accepted IEC standards for Isolation, Impulse, Fast Transient, HF Disturbance,
Electromagnetic Disturbance, Electrostatic Discharge, EMC, EMI and other relevant type tests as applicable to unprotected
equipment in substation environment.
l Digital outputs (including 1 trip & 1 close signal), for trip and close functions (i.e. the command from SCADA) is routed
through separate auxiliary relays.
l All the alarms and status inputs are monitored with a resolution of 1 msec. Time stamping of each input is provided. Chatter-
filtering of digital inputs is provided to suppress unwanted alarms.
l The ARTU supports time synchronization from SCADA through protocol or directly from the GPS clock.
l The ARTU extracts the data from the Multifunction Energy Meters or ABT meters provided on each control panel and transfer
the same on MODBUS protocol to the SCADA system

ASCADA-SAS Software
ASHIDA-SAS functions:
(ASHIDA Substation Automation System)
l Data acquisition from IEDs/RTUs, etc.
l Data processing.
l Online mimic display
l Control operations
l Event Sequence recording.
l Alarm display and annunciations.
l Data analysis and reports

ASHIDA-SAS modules:
l SCADA-Server: Server controls all the communication servers, processes the field objects
and contains all online parameters, inputs, output objects. Sever handles control
operations, interlocks, events, alarms, time synchronization, data logging, etc. It broadcast
the objects data to SCADA-Clients and also receives the requests from them.

l SCADA-Client: These provides and HMI for SCADA system. Used to view
online mimic, events, annunciations, perform control operations, etc.

l Communication-Servers: These are the Active-X EXEs, create field objects

such as parameters, Dins and controls, etc. Communication server acquires
data from the field devices and updates their objects.

l SCADA-Standby-Server: This is a hot standby for SCADA-Server.

When SCADA-Server, stops functioning, SCADA-Standby-Server
takes over and starts functioning as SCADA-Server.

l SCADA-Standby-Server-Monitor: This controls the switching

between SCADA-Server and SCADA-Standby-Server.

l SAS-Analysis: This is a data analysis utility used for customized

and standard report generation.

l SAS-Configuration: Provides an offline configuration for SCADA-

Server. Mimic-configuration utility for Mimic/SLD display.
 The sample scheme shown is a typical application of ASHIDA
SCADA System. At sub-station (remote end, controlled) level there
are many Electronic Devices like Numerical Protection Relays, Bay
Controller Units, Multifunction / ABT meters of various makes and on
different protocols. In ASHIDA
SCADA system, we integrate all
different protocols using various
data-concentrators, gateways &
Station-controller. The station
controller in the Smart-RTU, collects

ASHIDA SAS Layout

data from MFM on MODBUS protocol & from Numerical Relays,
Bay-control-units & FCCM cards on IEC60870-5-103 & IEC61850
protocol & sends all this data on IEC101/ 104/ SPORT protocol to
SCADA master. It is possible to send this information to two masters'
simultaneously. (eg. Zonal control & Load Dispatch Centre).

The ASHIDA SCADA supports communication through different

media such as Ethernet, Radio VHF, Fiber Optic, GSM, GPRS, VSAT,
HMIs
P&T Line, PLCC Communication, ADSS Communication, etc.

At Central control station, the Main SCADA Server, communicates

with the Smart-RTU on IEC101/104. It is possible to communicate
with multiple Smart-RTUs from a central location. The scalable
software can serve as HMI or can separate multiple HMIs. Similarly
the database may be stored locally in a file
