Micrapac 92xx - Ethernet 10BaseT Interface |
| Horton Automation is pleased to
announce the availability of Ethernet (10baseT) TCP/IP interface to both
our MPac 9200 and MPac 925 Remote Terminal units. At this time HAI has
implemented DNP3.0 as the application layer. top |
Micrapac 925i - Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) Interface |
| Horton Automation is pleased to
announce the availability of the Micrapac 925i - IED Interface unit. The
MP925i can be equipped with 1 or 2 of the new 8-port Fiber Optic
Communication modules and when install the unit can support up to 16 Fiber
optic ports for communication with IED devices. The standard protocol
supported for IED communication is DNP3.0. Other protocols are available
including MCP2, Modbus, and L&G 8979. The MP925i IED Interface unit was developed as part of the Western Farmers Electric Co-op project whereby the MP925i unit acts as a Data Concentrator and communicates with multiple SEL351R Recloser Controllers, Beckwith M-2001A Tap Changer Controllers, and Transdata Mark V meters. All the data from the IED units is collected within the MP925i, where it is organized for subsequent communication to the WFEC SCADA master station via the 950Mhz radio system. The MP925i IED Interface unit is the perfect front end processing (FEP) unit for all Substation Automation requirements. top |
Micrapac 925e - Distribution Automation |
| The Micrapac 925e product was
specifically designed for use in the emerging Electric Utility -
Distribution Automation marketplace. The all inclusive unit c/w 120/220Vac
power supply, 8DI/4SBO/4AI(dc) and 6PT/6CT (120Vac/5A) I/O module options
allow the MP925e unit to support all Electric Utility DA requirements
(other I/O configurations are available). The
MP925e unit can be used for poletop switching, recloser and capacitor bank
telemetry & control. top |
Micrapac 925e - Substation Automation |
| Horton Automation's Micrapac 925
product line is the perfect fit for use in the Electric Utility Substation
Automation environment. The Micrapac 925i IED Interface unit acts as the
FEP for the substation and multiple MP925e units are then installed close
to the field devices. This system scheme decreases the requirement for one
single large RTU device with miles of instrumentation cabling within the
substation. In this approach, locating smaller RTU devices close to the
instrumentation and only requiring communication cabling back to the
MP925i unit greatly decreases the cabling cost for a particular station.
Other key benefits include maintainability and reliability. top |
Micrapac RTUs support DNP3.0 protocol |
| Horton Automation's Micrapac RTU
products support communication with SCADA master station systems, SubRTUs
and other IED devices using DNP3.0 protocol. DNP, the Distributed Network Protocol, is a standards-based communications protocol developed to achieve interoperability among systems in the electric utility, oil & gas, water/waste water and security industries. This robust, flexible non-proprietary protocol is based on existing open standards to work within a variety of networks. The IEEE* has recommended DNP for remote terminal unit to intelligent electronic device messaging. DNP can also be implemented in any SCADA system for efficient and reliable communications between substation computers, RTUs, IEDs and master stations; over serial or LAN-based systems. DNP offers flexibility and functionality that go far beyond conventional communications protocols. Among its robust and flexible features DNP 3.0 includes:
DNP 3.0 was originally designed based on three layers of the OSI seven-layer model: application layer, data link layer and physical layer. The application layer is object-based with objects provided for most generic data formats. The data link layer provides for several methods of retrieving data such as polling for classes and object variations. The physical layer defines most commonly a simple RS-232 or RS-485 interface. DNP 3.0 is very efficient for a layered protocol while
ensuring high data integrity. |
Micrapac RTUs support IEC870-5-101 protocol |
| Horton Automation's Micrapac RTU
products support communication with SCADA master station systems, SubRTUs
and other IED devices using the international protocol standard
IEC870-5-101. top |
Micrapac 925g - Well Head Monitoring Unit |
| The MICRAPAC 925g RTU can be
provided with Natural Gas applications and can support the following
functionality: The MICRAPAC 925g RTU, when equipped with the appropriate I/O,
can perform several AGA calculations along with local PID control.
Parameters for PIDs and AGAs can be downloaded from the master or input
locally through the MICRATAP-RTU test set and stored in the RTUs battery
backed-up memory. |
