D400* Substation Data Manager

fact sheet
User configurable security levels/access Support for remote user authentication Built-in alarm Annunciator Support for Network Time Protocol (NTP) Supports multiple SCADA protocols for communications to multiple masters Built-in basic math/logic functions Event notification (e-mail, pager) Memory stick support for historical logs Internal SQL database Dual hot swappable power supplies

Product Overview
GE Energys D400* substation data manager is a secure, substation -hardened gateway that collects metering, status, event, and fault report data from serial or LAN based Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs). The D400 summarizes data from the IEDs and makes it available locally through a Keyboard-Video-Mouse (KVM) port or locally/remotely through a standard secure web browser (HTTPS). It supports serial and/or LAN connections to SCADA masters. TCP/IP network connections are supported over the built-in Ethernet and the modem interface.

Benefits and Strengths

Data concentration Ease of use/configuration Embedded substation HMI and alarming Non-operational data support Support for NERC CIP compliance Embedded security applications Legacy protocol support Expandable and upgradeable platform

Secure Substation HMI/Annunciator

The D400 supports a web based HMI/Annunciator feature, that is accessible using a standard Internet browser or through a VGA monitor and USB keyboard/mouse attached directly to the unit.

Non-operational Data
Using pass-through connections, the utility user can extract valuable non-operational data such as digital fault recording (DFR) records and event files. The user can also access the historical log files and upload the archived data for trending and analysis.

Features
Secure web server (128 bit encryption) Secure access using SSH (Secure Shell)/SCP (Secure Copy)/HTTPS Secure terminal server, gateway, and/or data concentrator using Secure Sockets Layer or Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS)

Hardware Overview
The D400 is built on a flexible, high performance, expandable diskless and fanless platform that is powered by a 650 MHz processor. The D400 supports various communication media typesSerial: RS-232, RS-485, Glass Fiber, and Plastic Fiber; and Ethernet: 10/100Base-T, 10Base-FL, and 100Base-SX. Two Ethernet networks are supported with separate multiport switches. An IRIG-B format time protocol input/distribution module is also supported. Serial port media is selected for each pair of ports.

Data Concentration
The D400 Substation Data Manager, when operating as a SCADA host, collects, filters and sorts data from a wide range of IEDs in the substation (RTUs, protection relays, meters). Data can be presented to multiple SCADA hosts.

Embedded Protocols
The D400 comes with a built-in suite of protocols and security applications to facilitate communication with various substation IEDs and SCADA hosts #. DNP serial and TCP/IP (client and server) IEC 61850 (client)

DPU/TPU 2000 GE modem Generic ASCII protocols SELFast Meter/SEL ASCII Hydran* LTC-Map*1525 IEC60870-5-101/103/104

Time Sync Support

The D400 has extensive support for various time sync methodologies and will accept time sync signals from SNTP/NTP Servers, IRIG-B (un-modulated/modulated), and SCADA protocols. The D400 can also distribute this time sync information through its built-in NTP Server, IRIG-B distribution interface, SCADA protocols, and/or through the RS232 ports directly (SEL compatibility).

Pass-through/Terminal Server
A built-in terminal server emulator allows pass-through connections to be initiated to any substation IED (relay, meter, RTU or other device). Once the connection is established, the local event records can be uploaded from the substation devices and viewed remotely. These connections can be secured using the D400s built-in TLS/SSL secure protocols.

Network/Security Protocols
HTTPS SSH/SCP DHCP NTP (client/server) CHAP
