Gridstream SCADA/DA S4SBR 98-1138 Rev AD 29
NOTE: The S4SBR onboard VDC regulator is not capable of supplying power to additional devices
beyond the S4SBR.
Digital Input
Digital input to Gridstream S4SBR can be tested by toggling the two switches on the test board that
correspond to D1 for DIGITAL_IO1 and D2 for DIGITAL_IO2. The switch will toggle between 0V
and supply VDC.
Analog Input
Analog input to the Gridstream S4SBR can be tested by tuning the two potentiometers on the test
board that correspond to A1 for ANALOG_IN1 and A2 for ANALOG_IN2. The input voltage
should lie between 0 VDC and 2.5 VDC.
NOTE: With an on-board reference of 2.5 VDC, the highest analog input the Gridstream S4SBR may
sense is limited to 2.5 VDC. Although the processor on the Gridstream S4SBR may withstand
supply VDC analog input, users are advised not to exceed 2.5 VDC.
General Usage Instruction
Depending on the desired method used to establish communication, connect a USB cable to either
the Transparent Packet Port (TPP), the LAN Packet Port (LPP) connection, or both.
NOTE: To provide power to the Gridstream S4SBR test Platform, the power input must be supplied
externally (as shown) because the USB cable, when connected to the TPP or LPP connector, does
not provide power for the test board.
Set the USB power input to an appropriate level by toggling the switch (P) controlling the
*PWR_DN signal (pin 9) to OFF position.
Connect the Gridstream S4SBR to the test board through the board-to-board I/O connector (located
under the SRB).
Toggle the switch (P) controlling the signal (pin 9) *PWR_DN to the ON position to turn the
Gridstream S4SBR ON.
The switch (LP) controlling *LOW_RF_POWER may be toggled to set (pin 8) the transmit level of
the Gridstream S4SBR under test. This switch will control whether to transmit with limited or full
power.
Gridstream S4SBR Logic
Developers planning to use the Gridstream SCADA/DA Series 4 Single Board Radio (Gridstream
S4SBR) in their SCADA equipment as a monitoring device should be aware of the logic of the
setting when writing a DCW program. The following describes the logic for reading and writing
