ACE3600 System Overview The purpose of ACE3600 system is typically to provide some degree of automatic operation to a new or existing customer process. The process may be found in water pump stations, sewage lift stations, communication system monitoring, security, public notification control, electrical substation monitoring, distribution automation, demandside management, automated meter reading, or other applications. This automation is provided by a combination of hardware.
ACE3600 System Overview • The Front End Processor (FEP): The Front End Processor is used at the central site(s) to provide a two-way path to the communication system and the distant RTUs from the SCADA Manager hardware and software.
ACE3600 RTU Construction The ACE3600 RTU is a universal device that may serve as an RTU, a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), or as the system FEP. It is placed at the system’s field sites to collect data from on-site sensors, add data from off-site sources, and use this data aggregate to make decisions regarding how some process is operating.
ACE3600 RTU Construction Each RTU can include a number of options, including portable and mobile radios, and plastic boxes with interface card for communication, etc. Housing/Mounting Type Capacity/Options No I/O slot frame Basic (default) model. Can be installed on a wall. Power supply and CPU Can be ordered with metal chassis or housing options. 3 I/O slot frame Can be installed on a wall. Power supply and CPU, up to 3 I/Os Can be ordered with metal chassis or housing.
ACE3600 RTU Construction Housing/Mounting Type Capacity/Options Large painted metal chassis Enables installation of radio, backup battery and other accessories. Can be installed on a wall or in housing. Power supply and CPU, up to 7 I/Os, 1 plastic interface box, up to 2 mobile/portable radios, 6.5 or 10 Ah Lead-Acid backup battery Small NEMA 4/IP65 housing Enables installation of radio, backup battery and other accessories. Can be installed on a wall.
ACE3600 RTU Construction Power Supply Modules The ACE3600 power supply module provides the other modules in the RTU with their operating voltages via the motherboard bus. The following power supply options are available: DC power supply low-tier (10.8-16V) DC power supply (10.
ACE3600 RTU Construction Short circuit protection outputs PS located on the leftmost slot of the frame Overvoltage protection for CPU and I/Os Reverse voltage protection Power supply modules with a battery option support a 6.5 or 10 Ah Lead-Acid battery. The power supply automatically switches to the backup battery as a 12V DC power source for the RTU and communications when the main AC or DC power source fails.
CPU Modules The main element of the ACE3600 is the CPU module. It controls the I/O modules, processes the gathered data and communicates with the outside world. The core of the module is Freescale’s MPC8270 32-bit microprocessor which has extended communication capabilities, high speed core, DMA and floating point calculation support. The module includes on-board memory, communication ports, I/O bus interface and other circuits. The firmware is based on Wind River’s VxWorks operating system.
CPU Modules The CPU has a low drift RTC. The date and time are retained using an on-board rechargeable lithium battery. The CPU date and time can be set using the ACE3600 STS. The CPU can also be synchronized with other RTUs in the system, using the system clock. The CPU’s rechargeable lithium battery provides backup power and data retention for the SRAM and RTC. Typically, the battery will preserve the data stored in the SRAM and RTC for 60 continuous days without power.
I/O Modules The ACE3600 RTU can include up to eight I/O modules, depending on the frame size. A variety of I/O modules is available. The I/O modules can be positioned in the slots to the right of the CPU. As with all ACE3600 modules, the I/O modules can be replaced while the power is on (hot swap.) Each I/O module includes an ERR status LED, individual I/O status LEDs, an array of I/O connectors, and a coding mechanism for the terminal cable connector or TB holder option.

Digital Input Modules Low Voltage DI Modules: The ACE3600 low voltage Digital Input (DI) module can have 16 or 32 inputs. The following DI modules are available: 16 DI Fast 24V 32 DI Fast 24V 16 DI Fast 24V IEC TYPE 2 32 DI Fast 24V IEC TYPE 2 Two types of low voltage (“wet”) inputs are supported, IEC 61131-2 Type II compliant inputs and 24V “MOSCAD compatible” inputs. In the 32 DI modules, the first 20 inputs can function as fast counters.
Digital Input Modules When the DI module is in DC mode, each input has a HW input filter to make sure that the input reading is stable. The range of the HW DI filter is 0 to 50.8 millisecond (in 0.2 mS steps). The Fast Counter DI filter range is 0 to 12.75 millisecond (in 0.05 mS steps). The DI module features which can be configured are listed in the table below. Some parameters are per module and some are per input.
Digital Input Modules Each DI module can be switched by the user application program to Sleep Mode. In Sleep Mode, the module does not function and the power consumption is minimized. During Sleep mode, the user application program will get the predefined values (PDV) for each I/O. The DI module can be diagnosed and monitored using the STS Hardware Test utility. This test verifies that the module is operational, presents the module configuration and shows the actual value of each input.

Digital Output Relay Modules Low Voltage DO Relay Modules: The DO Relay modules have 8 or 16 outputs. There are two types of DO relays: Electrically Energized (EE) - the outputs return to the non-energized state in case of power off or module failure. Magnetic Latch (ML) - Relay outputs are magnetically latched, the outputs maintain their state in case of power off or module failure.
Digital Output Relay Modules between the required position and the back indication signal is reported to the CPU and is available to the user program. In some applications it is necessary to inhibit relay output operation when attending the site for safety reasons. In all DO relay modules, it is possible to inhibit all relays per DO module.
Digital Output Relay Modules DOs will keep the last value they had at the time they were frozen. Freeze mode enables testing the inputs and outputs while the user program is running. Note: In systems with I/O expansion, the power supplies on I/O expansion frames can be attached via DC cable to the power supply on the previous I/O expansion frame in a daisy-chain manner, or directly to the main power supply.

Analog Input Modules The Analog Input (AI) modules have 8 or 16 inputs. The modules sample and convert analog data into digital format and transfer the digital data to the CPU module. The following modules are available: 8 AI, ±20 mA (supports 4-20 mA) 16 AI, ±20 mA (supports 4-20 mA) 8 AI, ±5 V (supports 0-5 V and 1-5 V) 16 AI, ±5 V (supports 0-5 V and 1-5 V) The module’s analog-to-digital conversion resolution is 16 bit (including sign).
Analog Input Modules The AI Module Configuration includes: 50/60 Hz Filtering - This parameter enables the user to configure the module to use 50 or 60 Hz filter on all inputs. AI Filter (Smoothing) - This parameter enables the user to configure the level smoothing (averaging) on all inputs. It can be set to 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64,128 samples. Change Of State (COS) Delta - This parameter sets a delta value for each input.
Analog Input Modules In the event of AI Module failure, the I/O module ERR LED will be lit. The event is registered by the CPU in the Error Logger. AI Module failure status is also visible to the user application program. In addition to the ERR LED, the module includes an Underflow (UDF) and Overflow (OVF) LED for each input. When the UDF LED is lit, it indicates that the signal level in the corresponding input is below the nominal range.

Analog Input Modules I/O Connection Diagrams: There are two types of current sensors/transmitters, namely 2-wire and 4-wire. The 2wire transmitters require a serial power feed for the current loop, whereas 4-wire transmitters have a separate power supply connection. As a result, with 4-wire transmitters a single power supply may be used to provide power to several sensors; the diagram below describes the connection of the two types of current sensors to the analog input module.
Analog Output Modules The Analog Output (AO) modules have four optically-isolated analog output channels for controlling user devices (see Figure 1). Each channel has two possible outputs: 0-20 mA Interface industry standard current output and 0-5 V Interface industry standard voltage output. Only one of the outputs can be enabled in a particular channel - either current or voltage. The module’s digital to analog converter resolution is 14 bit.

Analog Output Modules To set the output value in the Hardware test, the user application program must be stopped or the AO module frozen. To calibrate the output in the Hardware test, the user application program must be stopped or the AO module frozen. In the Hardware Test utility, it is possible to set the AO module to Freeze Mode. In this mode, the AOs will keep the last value they had at the time they were frozen. Freeze mode enables testing the inputs and outputs while the user program is running.

Digital Output and Digital Input FET Modules The Digital Output/Digital Input (DO/DI) FET modules have 16 or 32 configurable user connections, organized in groups. Each group can be configured as an 8 DO group or as an 8 DI group. The outputs are optically isolated current sink FET type with back indication. The inputs are optically isolated Dry Contact type with internal “wetting” voltage.
Digital Output and Digital Input FET Modules Each DI can be set in the Application Programmer I/O link table to trigger recording of time tagged events upon any input change of state. The time tagged events are recorded in the CPU memory and can be retrieved for various purposes. Each input can be configured to KLV or to a PDV (0, 1) in the Application Programmer I/O link table. This value is shown to the user application program in the event of DI module failure.

I/O Expansion The ACE3600 RTU includes the option of expanding the number of I/O modules controlled by a single CPU module on the main frame. The I/O expansion frames can be co-located with RTU on the main frame (installed in the same 19” rack or cabinet) or distributed in the same site (up to 50 meters from the main frame.) I/O expansion is based on a 100 Base-T full duplex Ethernet connection between the CPU module and the expansion modules.
I/O Expansion the main frame. Accessories such as a mobile radio, battery, etc. are attached to a separate optional 19” chassis. Radio/Batt. Chassis Main Frame (optional) Main PS (AC/DC) CPU3640 DC Cable Expansion PS Expansion Module Crossed LAN Cable I/O Frame ACE3600 I/O Expansion – Single Frame Example The figure below provides a general view of an ACE3600 CPU with a single I/O expansion frame.
I/O Expansion Note: The number of expansion power supplies that can be cascaded to the power supply on the main frame is limited. When required, optional DC or AC power supplies should be installed on the expansion frames to meet the accumulated power consumption and voltage level requirements. In the maximal configuration, up to 110 I/Os can be connected to the ACE3600, by using two expansion Ethernet switches on the main frame and thirteen I/O expansion frames. See the figure below.
I/O Expansion I/O Expansion Frame An I/O expansion frame always includes an expansion module to enable the CPU in the main frame to communicate with and control the expansion frame and its I/O modules. The expansion module is provided with each expansion frame (model F7510). Like the ACE3600 main frame, the I/O expansion frame can contain 3, 5, 7 or 8 I/O slots. The expansion frame is compatible with the chassis and housing options.
Expansion Power Supply Module The expansion power supply module (10.8-16V DC) extends power from the power supply on the RTU’s main frame to the I/O expansion frame, or from one I/O expansion frame to another. Note that this module is provided as default power supply in each I/O expansion frame unless replaced with the other power supply options.
Expansion Module The expansion module provides an interface from the CPU module (either directly or via the expansion LAN switch) on the ACE3600 main frame to the I/O modules on the expansion frame. This enables the CPU on the main frame to control the I/O modules on the expansion frame and process the gathered data. This module is installed in the I/O expansion frame in the CPU slot, second slot from the left and is connected via dedicated LAN to the RTU’s main frame.
I/O Expansion the Ethernet ports (Eth2-Eth8) on the second switch. (The Eth2 port on the first switch is connected to the Eth1 (M) port on the second switch Ethernet LAN.) Expansion frames are provided without cables. For connection, use one of the cables listed below or use any other standard Category 5E shielded (FTP) LAN cable (up to 50 meter length). Three different Ethernet cables are available for this purpose. Choose the cable length based on the distance from the main frame to the expansion frame.
I/O Expansion no yes The Expansion module discovers the main CPU (MCPU) via UDP/IP (broadcast). no Expansion Loader Discovery succeededobtained self and MCPU IP address? yes 1. Loads the Firmware Image into RAM from the MCPU (using TCP). 2. Turns off all LEDs and runs the loaded Expansion Firmware Image. 3. Auto-recognizes actual I/O modules. Loads user files from the MCPU (using TCP) and saves in FLASH: 1. Configuration, if such exists 2. Application database, if such exists 3.
I/O Expansion Expansion Module Power-up and Restart The MCOM LED on the expansion module indicates the connection status between the expansion module and the main CPU and expansion frame initialization progress. The main CPU expects the expansion frames to complete the initialization within a configurable period of time (60 seconds default). After this period of time elapses, the main CPU will operate normally with the connected frames and their I/O modules.
Expansion LAN Switch The expansion Ethernet switch provides an interface from the ACE3600 CPU (on the master RTU frame) to up to seven expansion frames, or up to 13 expansion frames when two switches are used. This enables up to 110 I/O modules in a single RTU. The expansion modules can be co-located with the switch (installed in the same 19” frame or cabinet) or distributed in other locations. The switch is installed only in the RTU’s main frame, in either of the first two I/O module slots.
I/O Expansion One of three Ethernet cables can be used to connect an Ethernet port on the expansion LAN switch to an expansion module in an expansion frame. If the system includes one switch (for up to seven frames), ports Eth2-Eth8 are available. If the system includes two switches (for up to thirteen frames), ports Eth3-Eth8 are available on the first switch and ports Eth2-Eth8 are available on the second switch. Note: The Eth.
RTU I/O Expansion - Power Considerations When planning a co-located multi-I/O expansion frame configuration (where all frames are located in the same enclosure or 19” rack), it is possible to cascade the power supplies of the expansion frames to the power supply in the main frame.
I/O Expansion Each cascaded expansion power supply gets a lower input voltage from the preceding power supply. The voltage drop is a function of the expansion power cable resistance and the current flowing through the cable (which is the accumulated current of the expansion frame and all the following expansion frames cascaded to it.) The paragraph below shows how the input voltage of a cascaded expansion frame can be calculated. Below is a block diagram of cascaded power supplies.
I/O Expansion The general equation for Vx is: Vo depends on the power supply configuration. Vo should be 13 V DC when the backup battery option is not used. If the battery option is used with the main power supply, during power fail Vo depends on the battery voltage (which may be below 13 V DC). It is highly recommended to use at least 11 V DC for input voltage Vx. Consider the following example: An expanded RTU includes five expansion frames.

Communications The ACE3600 (as well as MOSCAD family RTUs) facilitates the establishment of a highly sophisticated hybrid data communication network for SCADA that utilizes a variety of radio and/or line communication links. Radio links may include conventional (VHF, UHF, 800 & 900 MHz), analog trunked, digital trunked, and both analog and digital microwave radio technologies.
Communications RTU to simultaneously run several kinds of communication applications, such as reporting alarms by contention, on-line monitoring, performing diagnostics checks, etc. The MDLC protocol is discussed below. MDLC Protocol The MDLC protocol is a Motorola SCADA protocol that is based on the Open System Interconnection (OSI) model recommended by the International Organization for Standardization. MDLC utilizes all seven layers of the OSI model.
Communications from the technical constraints and complexities of network operations thus allowing the intended application to be the item of focus. MDLC uses a semi-synchronous data format on two-way radio and an asynchronous format on wirelines. It is not correct to refer to message size in byte notation because of the 16-bit architecture; the data may not be sent in asynchronous format—no start and stop bits—but it is not true synchronous either because there is no single networkprovided clock signal.
Communications The lower three layers of the MDLC protocol stack are commonly known as Network Services. These layers only are used when communicating with intermediary sites which make it possible to pass any data through the system and not require the total system to know the details of the data. Each layer adds (removes) data to what was received and thereby communicates with equivalent layers in the destination (source) site—see figure above.
Communications MDLC Data Transfer Methods Three messaging methods are commonly used by the Motorola RTU: Contention (transmission upon change-of-state; also called burst), Polling (interrogation), and Report-by-Exception. The Contention method has the RTU report upon a change-of-state (COS) of conditions/values without waiting for a poll from the SCADA Manager.
Communications Communication Links The system may support a network comprised of a nearly unlimited number of links. The RTU supports a variety of communication media, protocols and data speeds, as detailed below: • Serial RS232 ports, up to 115.
Communications IP Ports). The RS232 ports may operate at data speeds up to 115.2 kbps (depending on the total wire length). RS485 Ports On ACE CPU modules, Serial Port 1 (SI1) can be configured as RS485 port. Additionally up to two RS485 Plug-in ports can be installed on the CPU module (on PI1 and PI2 plugin ports). The RS485 ports permits up to 32 2-wire RS485 devices to be parallel-connected (multidrop) onto one pair of wires for the exchange of data.
Communications • Cable characteristic impedance: Distributed capacitance and inductance slows edges, reducing noise margin and compromising the ‘eye pattern’. Distributed resistance attenuates the signal level directly. • Termination: A long cable can act like a transmission line. Terminating the cable with its characteristic impedance reduces reflections and increases the achievable data rate.
Communications IP Ports (MDLC over IP) ACE3600 RTUs can use IP (Internet Protocol) technology to interface to advanced radio infrastructure (e.g. TETRA or GPRS) and to standard private IP networks. Most benefits of the MDLC protocol are preserved. MDLC and IP networks can be integrated in the same system, as networking properties are preserved. MDLC applications need not be modified as the lower layers of the protocol support IP.
Communications 4. IP Gateway connected to LAN. An IP Gateway (IPGW) serves as a front-end for a TCP/IP-based SCADA central and enables it to communicate with remote RTUs. The IPGW uses a direct LAN connection to the radio infrastructure. It cannot be connected with a packet IP Ports (IP LAN/WAN ports) data modem/radio over PPP. For this purpose an RTU (with packet data radio/modem) is needed with RS232/RS485 to connect them.
Communications IP Conversion Table Enhancements An IP conversion table can be assigned to each RTU/FEP. It maps each site ID+link ID (port) to an IP address. The link ID column supports multiple MDLC over IP ports per RTU. Each link ID uniquely identifies the port/IP connection of that RTU. The table enables the MDLC over IP port to transmit MDLC packet to its destination based upon its site ID and link ID (port).
Communications Configuring NTP Servers An Ethernet or RS232 PPP port can be configured for NTP protocol (NTP is UDP port number 123.) In this case, the RTU will retrieve its time from a set of NTP servers specified by the user. The clock offset between the RTU and these servers depends on network delays, and may be up to 100 milliseconds in some wireless media. The clock offset on LAN in the same Ethernet network is approximately 1 millisecond.
Communications When one RTU transmits to another, the transmission will go through the FEP which will route it to its destination, without the need of a network configuration. Note: This feature can also be used in an FEP connected to the CEN of ASTRO IV&D, where it is required for one RTU connected to a radio to communicate with another RTU. MDLC over IP PPP Connections The ACE3600 RTU can include up to four RS232/PPP ports - two on-board (SI1 and SI2) and two plug-in RS232 ports (PI1 and PI2.
Communications • • Static IP address mode Dynamic (DHCP) With static IP address mode, the user is required to set the link ID, IP address, subnet mask and default gateway. If DNS or NTP servers are required, these must be defined as well. DNS servers are only required if this port is to be accessed via a host name rather than a numeric IP address. In this case the operator assigns a host domain name to the FEP or RTU. The IP conversion table must include the domain name well.
Communications MDLC over LAN/Ethernet The ACE3600 RTU can communicate over Ethernet media, via the onboard Ethernet port or 10/100BT plug-in ports.
Communications A number of connection methods are available when configuring an Ethernet-based RTU: 1. Static IP address – The user sets the IP address within the configuration of the device in the STS. To use this method, follow the instructions for configuring an RTU in the Operation chapter in the ACE3600 STS User Guide. All DHCP parameters will remain at default values. 2. DHCP-supplied reserved IP address – For every ACE3600 RTU, an IP address will be reserved within the DHCP server.
Communications Unlike other infrastructures (such as iDEN and TETRA), this IP address and radio unit ID cannot be retrieved for diagnostics from the radio. Instead a dummy IP Address is provided by the radio as it is configured using the CPS (Codeplug Programming Software).
Communications Certain configuration steps are performed on the radio itself using the CPS and in the infrastructure using the UCM tool. See the relevant radio documentation for more information. There are two types of hardware interface between the RTU and the radio: For a mobile radio such as the XTL5000, the interface is comprised of a radio data cable over RS232.

Tetra infrastructure and radio should support packet data. The connection to Tetra can be made via LAN or via radio.
Communications SCADA Central Ethernet IP Routing Net LINE 1 RS-232 IP Gateway STS Tetra Infrastructure SW MI LINE 1 STS RS-232 Tetra MTP700 radio Tetra MTP700 radio RTU-A RTU-B The STS can communicate with remote RTUs over IP using the Tetra infrastructure. The PC running the STS is connected to the Tetra radio (e.g. MTH500 radio) or to the RTU. For this purpose, the PC should have a Tetra PD installation (as specified in the CPS user manual).
Communications MDLC over IP - Standard Modem To avoid system setup for each modem/radio which supports packet data, a general concept has been introduced for, whereby IP can connect to any modem or radio supporting packet data. A standard modem supporting packet data is a modem which requires an AT command set to configure and PPP to initiate. It can connect to a PC using Microsoft Standard Modem and RAS setup.
Communications MDLC over GPRS Network An RTU can be connected to GPRS (GSM) network through a LAN or through a radio. An IP Gateway or an RTU with an Ethernet port can be connected to the LAN. In the figure below, the SCADA central and IP Gateway are connected via LAN to the GPRS infrastructure. Each RTU has a G18 GPRS/GSM modem connected to its MDLC over IP Port using PPP. A unique IP address is assigned to each RTU according to its modem identifier (IMSI).
Communications 1. Assign FEP need to have a fixed IP or host name. Make sure operator support UDP port 2002 from modem to FEP and vice versa. 2. Assign an IP conversion Table for RTUs having that FEP IP address or host name. 3. In application of RTUs transmit periodically to FEP, so it learns the recent address. Recommended time every 2 minutes. A better example is to wait for a timeout and if not getting anything from FEP send it a message.
Communications IP Conversion Tables The IP conversion table is created in the ACE3600 STS using the IP Conversion Table Manager. Note that unlike the network configuration, there is no default, and any IP conversion tables must be created manually. The IP conversion table maps sites in the system (site ID+link ID) to IP addresses or host names. Each site ID/link ID pair can have one unique entry in the table, though an IP address can appear in more than one row. A site ID of 0 is reserved for a group call.
Communications In the example above, two sets of IP conversion tables should be created and the FEP’s Table should be assigned to the RTUs: The following IP Conversion Table should be loaded to the RTUs: Site ID Link ID IP Address or Host name 100 LINE1 10.5.1.160 100 LINE2 155.9.1.17 The following IP Conversion Table should be loaded to the FEP: Site ID Link ID IP Address or Host name 1 LINE1 192.5.1.161 1 LINE2 155.9.1.18 2 LINE1 192.5.1.162 2 LINE2 155.9.1.
Communications Firewall The ACE3600 Firewall enables the user to define a variety of firewall protections. The firewall is configured and activated in the ACE3600 STS site configuration per site, for all IP ports in the site. The user can specify the list of IP addresses to accept, i.e. the list of IP addresses allowed to pass through this firewall. If no IP addresses are defined, then all addresses are allowed. When the firewall is active, all UDP/ TCP ports will be blocked (e.g.
Communications MDLC over Dialup Modem Configuration The ACE3600 can be connected to dial-up modem. The user can configure the modem from the RTU using the MDLC over Dialup port. A configuration modem string can be defined in the Physical Layer to configure the modem. The modem configuration file enables the user includes the configuration modem string and other AT commands. If no modem configuration file exists, the configuration modem string will be used.
Radio Communications The ACE3600 RTU is designed to operate with various Motorola conventional and trunked radio transceivers (see table below). Other Third Party conventional radios can be interfaced to the ACE3600 using the radio modem ports using DPSK 1.2 kbps modulation (for more information consult Motorola support).

Communications Conventional and Analog Trunked Radio Modulation Types The physical interface to the conventional or analog trunked radio is through a plug-in radio modem board on the CPU module; the characteristics programmed into the plug-in modem determine the emission characteristics of the radio. The data may directly modulate the FM transceiver’s oscillator to most effectively use the radio bandwidth. Motorola refers to this modulation technique as DFM; in the U.S.
Communications In the U.S. the FCC’s rules for Fixed Secondary Signaling and for Telemetry operations require data not to interfere with voice operations—the data message must wait until the voice message is finished. This is a practical matter also—if a data message were attempted simultaneously with any co-channel message, there is a high probability that the data would be corrupted and throughput would be zero. So why create the interference for no gain.
Communications Sum of the Highest Modulating Frequency plus Deviation shall not exceed a stated maximum. For most channels, that maximum is 2800 Hz but on two frequencies (173.2100 and 173.3900 MHz) the maximum is 1700 Hz. The splinters were exempt from all Refarming actions and still require a 5K60F2D emission designator. ACE3600, when using DPSK modulation, uses a 1200 Hz modulating tone; the legal allowable deviation on the “2800” channels is therefore 1.
Communications Analog Trunked Radio Systems In an analog trunked radio system, any unit that needs to send a message, requests, and is assigned to, a channel by the trunking system controller. The ACE3600 RTUs are typically clustered into a single trunked data group and are managed by the trunking system controller as a single entity.
Communications Digital Trunked Radio Systems In digital trunked radio systems such as ASTRO IV&D and TETRA (Dimetra), the ACE3600 uses the packet data capability of the system. The digital trunked radio system behaves as an IP network. The ACE3600 interfaces to the digital radio using an RS232 port configured to PPP protocol. For more information refer to the MDLC over ASTRO IV&D chapter in the ACE3600 STS Advanced Features Manual.
Communications Please note that this parameter should be the same in all the RTUs that reside on the same frequency channel and communicate with each other. When different radios reside on the same frequency channel, the parameter is determined by the radio that requires the longest Warm-up. For example, in a system which uses both 200 ms and 300 ms radios on the same channel, the First Warm-up parameter should be set to 300 ms in all the RTUs.
Communications Setting the Parameters in the MOSCAD/MOSCAD-L ToolBox The Channel Monitor Resolution and First Warm-up Delay parameters are set in the Site configuration -> Port 3 -> Advanced Physical Layer screen. Setting the Parameters in the ACE3600 STS The Channel Monitor Resolution and First Warm-up Delay parameters are set in the Site -> Port Tab -> Port X -> Advanced Configuration -> Physical Tab screen.
Communications Communication Network The ACE3600 system network consists of RTUs communicating with one or more computerized control centers and/or with other RTUs. Each control center is connected to the communication network. The system can be relatively simple, comprising several RTUs and one control center.
Communications communication with the central. It also can act as a communication node (an interconnection point between two or more different links) while performing its other tasks. The RTU network uses the MDLC protocol, which incorporates all seven layers of the OSI model adapted for SCADA. It supports multiple logical channels per physical port, enabling simultaneous central-to-RTU and RTU-to-RTU sessions.
Communications Network Configurations The ACE3600 system supports both simple and complex communication networks. The following sections describe various configurations from different aspects. Simple System A simple system, comprised of a central computer and RTUs connected over one communication link, is shown in the following figure: Central Computer IP / RS232 Media FEP RTU 3 RTU 2 RTU 1 RS232 STS STS The STS may be connected to any port of the RTU.
Communications The FEP in the system illustrated above serves as a network node between link RADIO 1 and link LINE 1. Configuring the FEP to have access to two different links enables it to serve as a node between these links. The MDLC protocol permits RTU-to-RTU communications without the intervention of the central computer. RTUs that are not on the same link communicate with each other via the network node (in this case, the FEP). A multi-link system is a network that uses several link types.
Communications RTU 9 (Site ID = 9) is configured as a Store & Forward repeater. It performs data exchange between units that operate on the same frequency but are unable to communicate directly for reasons of path and propagation. Any RTU in zone 1 may communicate with any RTU in zone 2 via this repeater. The figure below illustrates this system schematically. In this case, RTU 9 is a network node between the RADIO 1/1 and RADIO 1/2 links.
Communications The schematic representation of this system is shown below. The system assumes that the two nodes, RTU 15 and RTU 40, cannot “hear” each other. They communicate via the FEP, which is also a Store & Forward node. This system, therefore, consists of four zones and three nodes (RTU 15, RTU 40, and FIU). Any communication between RTUs in different zones passes through these three nodes.
Communications In this case, the two nodes do not communicate through the FEP. Therefore, the FEP does not serve as a node in the system. Note that the communication between RTUs in different zones passes only through two nodes. MDLC Encryption Overview Encryption prevents any non-authorized party to communicate on MDLC network. The level of protection provided by encryption is determined by an encryption algorithm.
Communications 136
Communications Both a non-encrypted RTU and an encrypted RTU can serve as an MDLC network node for encrypted or non-encrypted RTUs. Encryption Keys A set of Encryption Keys is defined for the system using the MDLC Encryption Tool. The Keys File (KF) is saved and then downloaded to the IP Gateway and to the RTUs using the MDLC Encryption Tool. The KF can be loaded to a local or a remote RTU. Each KF contains nine keys, indexed ‘1’ to ‘9’.
Communications When an RTU is first configured and stars up (cold start in MOSCAD and MOSCAD-L RTUs), the key index is set to ‘0’ (non-encrypted mode). Encryption is then activated by changing the Active Key index to a number other than ‘0’ (1-9). This is done using the MDLC Encryption Tool. The replacement of the encryption key is initiated by the MDLC Encryption tool. Successful replacement of the active key requires that all RTUs in the system be timesynchronized by the IP Gateway.
Communications Security Administration Tool The Security Administrator Tool, provided with the MDLC Encryption Option is used to control access to the MDLC Encryption Tool and files. Using this tool, the administrator can define users and groups, and grant permissions to authorized personnel as necessary. MDLC Encryption Implementation Considerations • Encryption Interoperability: Encrypted system requires using the following versions of firmware and tools in the same system.
Clock Functions and Synchronization RTU Clock The ACE3600 RTU has one time source, an internal system clock which is in microsecond resolution. This time source is updated using a backup source of the RTC hardware component - Real Time Clock (seconds accuracy). In addition, external clocks, such as GPS and NTP servers can be used as a time source. See NTP Clock Synchronization and Global Positioning System (GPS) below.
Clock Functions and Synchronization In ACE3600 RTUs, a new MLDC extended time synchronization can be enabled which includes the synchronizing RTU’s password. In this case, all RTUs in the system must use the same password. This extended time synchronization also enables synchronizing two RTUs in different time zones, and better accuracy than the MOSCAD MDLC legacy synchronization.
Clock Functions and Synchronization system table, it also changes the RTU time and date. For more information on the Time & Date database system table, see Appendix C: Database Tables and Data Types in the ACE3600 STS User Guide. The user can update the same Time & Date database system table (HH:MM:SS) using the Application Programmer database monitor function. In this case, synchronization is direct (no time zone aspect.
Clock Functions and Synchronization RTU (usually FEP) can act as a server. This enable setting its time via MDLC time sync, for example, and having other RTUs specify it as an NTP server and obtain their time from it. NTP synchronizes clock both in time and frequency. In time means it make its clock offset as close as possible to the server. In frequency means it learns the server drift (time between “ticks”) in order to avoid polling it every few seconds.
Clock Functions and Synchronization The accuracy of other clocks is judged according to how “close” a clock is to a reference clock (the stratum of the clock, the network latency to the clock, and the claimed accuracy of the clock. The accuracy of NTP thus depends on the network environment. Because NTP uses UDP packets, traffic congestion could temporarily prevent synchronization, but the client can still self-adjust, based on its historic drift.
SCADA System Components Control Center – SCADA Manager Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) originally described a monitor and control process wherein all intelligence resided in a central computer (the SCADA Manager). The human operators would manage the system by observing the data as presented on the computer’s terminal(s).
SCADA System Components All the M-OPC components run on a standard PC hardware platform that supports both MS Windows 2000 Pro and MS Windows XP Pro. The M-OPC solution uses a standard client/server architecture. The Control center components include Client(s) (SCADA software or other applications), M OPC server, MDLC driver and Field Interface Unit –FIU (ACE3600, MOSCAD or MOSCAD-L CPU). The FIU provides MDLC networking and various media connectivity to the RTUs.
SCADA System Components During the M-OPC Server operation, various operational data are collected and logged for user diagnostics purposes. IP Gateway TCP/IP is a protocol in common use on Ethernet data highways such as the World Wide Web and others. The MOSCAD IP Gateway (was MCP-T) supports this connectivity.
SCADA System Components has an equivalent ModBus address according to some very simple yet rigorous rules; therefore, the database in the MCP-M may easily be read, or written to, by the SCADA Manager. The MCP-M’s database is kept accurate by any combination of the communication modes discussed in the Communication chapter. If the SCADA Manager should change the contents of any database items defined as outbound (a control), that change will automatically be sent to the associated RTU.

Appendix B - FCC Information Spectrum and Regulatory Update The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has made a series of changes over the years to the rules and regulations that govern the use of frequencies that constitute the VHF and UHF bands. They affect in several ways how MOSCAD devices are used on traditional, conventional two-way radio channels. This update is a summary document and not intended as a complete licensing guide.
Appendix B - FCC Information Spectrum and Regulatory Update were channels licensed for data (or voice) use on a “secondary” basis; that is usage could not interfere with operations licenses on the primary channels. Through the adoption of the refarming decision, the low-power, secondary offset channels have been converted to primary channels with a maximum bandwidth of 12.5 kHz. Many of the old offset channels have been (or soon will be) converted to high power operations.
Appendix B - FCC Information Spectrum and Regulatory Update to be applied. In a subsequent decision, (FCC MO&O96-492) the FCC clarified their intent and restated the previous classes of data operations. Key to the issue of the type of operation is determining the actual path of the signaling through the radio. The FCC acknowledged a difference between signals that pass through a radio’s external microphone port and those that do not.
Appendix B - FCC Information Spectrum and Regulatory Update In February of 2003, the FCC asked for comments on its tentative conclusion that transition dates for 6.25 kHz conversion would have to be adopted. Many commenters said that it was too soon to establish a date for conversion to 6.25 kHz technologies; there is no interoperability standard for 6.25 kHz equivalent technologies and equipment has not been fielded and tested under real world conditions.

Appendix B - FCC Information Spectrum and Regulatory Update Other Part 90 Frequency Options There are several other options that could be used depending on the availability of frequencies or existing infrastructure. • Section 90.235 – Secondary fixed signaling UHF or VHF high power bands. The fixed operations are secondary to mobile voice or data operations and must be licensed as part of the voice system. No additional channels can be added to accommodate the fixed operations.
Appendix C: ACE3600 Maximum Power Ratings The tables below list the typical maximum power consumption (at room temperature) for each of the ACE3600 RTU building blocks (CPU, Power Supply, I/O modules, radios, etc.) and the maximum peak power allowed for a fully loaded RTU, based on the housing type.
