High processing power
3
The processing power of the central con-
trol unit has been enormously increased
by the introduction of the 32-bit µP tech-
nology. This permits, on the one hand, a
more compact design and provides, on the
other hand, sufficient processing reserve 4
for the future introduction of additional
functions. Fig. 136: Digital substation control, operator desk. Control of a 400 kV substation (double control unit)
Static memories
A decisive step in the direction of user
friendliness has been made with the imple-
5
mentation of large nonvolatile Flash EPROM
memories. The system parameters can be
loaded via a serial port at the front panel of
the central unit. Bay level parameters are
automatically downloaded. 6
Analog value processing
The further processing of raw measured
data, such as the calculation of maximum,
minimum or effective values, with as-
signed real time, is contained as standard 7
function.
A Flash EPROM mass storage can option-
ally be provided to record measured values,
fault events or fault oscillograms.The stored
information can be read out locally or re-
motely by a telephone modem connection. 8
Further data evaluation (harmonic analysis,
etc.) is then possible by means of a special
PC program (LSA PROCESS).

and expansion frame for each expansion frame, i.e. totally

The 6MB551 station control unit can
therefore be expanded from having simple
telecontrol data processing functions to
assuming the complex functionality of a
7 substation control system.
The same applies to the process signal
capacity. In one unit, more than 4 000 data
points can be addressed and, by means of
serial interfacing of subsystems, this figure
can be increased even further.
8 The 6MB551 station control unit simplifies
the incorporation of extensions to the sub-
station by using the decentralized 6MB52*
bay control units for the additional substa-
tion bays.

RTU interfaces
The described RTUs are connected to the
switchgear via interposing relays and meas-
8 uring transducers (± 2.5 to ± 20 mA DC)
(Fig. 173). Serial connection of numerical
protection relays and control I/O units is
possible with the compact RTU type
6MB552.
9 The communication protocols for the serial
connection to system control centers can
be IEC standard 870-5-101 or the Siemens
proprietary protocols 8FW.
For the communication with protection
relays, the IEC standard 870-5-103 is im-
10 plemented.
Besides these standard protocols, more
than 100 legacy protocols including deriva-
tives are implemented for remote control
links up to system control centers and
down to remote substations (see table
overleaf).
