Overview SCD6000 Controller

Overview
The Foxboro SCD6000 architecture is designed with the flexibility to allow users to
configure Foxboro Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) as needed to meet the various
Control System requirements. The same equipment, software, and networks are used
as building blocks to produce a fully integrated system consisting of:.
• Analog, digital, or fiber-optic communications using multiple communication ports
with each port using different communication protocols
• Intelligent I/O modules for high performance processing
• High speed peer-to-peer distributed automation over a ring optical network
• Integration of Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) within the local control network
• Data and Control Interface Unit (DCIU) capability for coordination of controls
between RTUs
• “Check-before-operate” mechanism on all controls
• Applications Software Library for a wide range of control system applications
SCD6000 is a multi-nodal RTU with advanced data integration, time synchronization,
and programming capabilities. Its primary Slave interfaces are provided with DNP3
Slave (TCP/IP and Serial) and IEC 61850 Client.
The SCD6000 Controller inherits the functionality of the compact SCD5200 and
provides a large RAM for a higher concentration of IEC 61850 IEDs.
The SCD6000 Controller module inherits the functionality of the compact Foxboro
SCD5200 module. The SCD6000 Main Processor module can be used as plug-in
replacement for the existing SCD5200 installed base with regenerated configuration
file.
Each SCD6000 rack mounted card file can support power, CPU, communications,
and IO modules. The range of IO modules is extensive, covering all aspects of IO at a
wide range of input voltage level. Each IO processor is intelligent, provides on-board
pre-processing, and captures information on the Sequence of Events.
Apart from handling IO modules, the SCD6000 also works as an embedded
computing and networking platform, which serves as a distributed Station Computing
Device (SCD).
As shown in the SCD6000 Controller figure, the architecture provides continuous
support for OptoNet and includes additional support for the high speed internet
protocols that are needed to integrate IEC 61850 Station LANs. OptoNet is
transparent to the user and it provides a user programming environment with access
to IO or communications information on any node at any time. Up to 63 SCD6000s
can be interconnected on the OptoNet ring. IEC 61850 Station LANs can be
introduced into any node on either of the dual SFP based Ethernet ports.
Backward compatibility of the OptoNet is maintained with the Foxboro Remote
Terminal Unit RTU50/SCD5200. This allows older RTU50/SCD5200 cardfiles to be
mixed with the newer SCD6000 card.
SCD6000 supports both half and full duplex Ethernet communications. Dual SFP
ports support either 100Base-FX or 10/100Base-T and provide a cost effective and
versatile optical, and wired Ethernet interface.
The SCD6000 can be password protected on any TCP/IP or Serial ports to restrict
end user access. Passwords can be assigned for individual users with roles such as
Maintainer, Browser, and Superuser. Each configuration file is node locked.
The SCD6000 Controller includes both IEC 61850 Client and Server services and
data structures. These data structures are created by importing a standard .SCD file
included with the configuration file. Either the IEC 61850 Client or Server, or both can
be configured for use on any node.

Real-time Database and Environment SCD6000 Controller

Real-time Database and Environment

The figure shows the SCD6000 Controller environment, which consists of a central
real-time database that is kept up-to-date by a variety of independent processes. The
embedded Operating System executive supports these processes.
• Intrinsic Data Functions (IDF) – Event driven preconfigured functionality is very
fast and often used for implicit conversions of IO information
• Calculations – Up to 3 calculation tasks can be programmed. Each task is written
as a State Machine or a Procedural Logic using the dedicated State And Logic
Language (SALL)
• IEC 61850 Client – A separate process is maintained to allow the IEC 61850
Client services to operate
• IEC 61850 Server – A separate process is maintained to allow the IEC 61850
Server services to operate
• IO/COMMS/OptoNet – The Electrobus interface supports the IO and
Communications modules and the OptoNet functionality supports the transparent
transmission of the real-time database from node to node
• IO Time Sync – The real-time clock on each processor is used to synchronize the
clocks on all intelligent IO modules
The real-time database accepts incoming data and records changes in any of the
change-driven protocol stacks with a time-based comparison.
Diagnostic interfaces are provided to allow both remote and local diagnostic tools to
establish a connection with the unit at any time. The on-board flash file workspace
allows for multiple files to be downloaded and used as current, past, or potential future
running configurations. The diagnostic interface allows the SCD6000 to be reset
remotely and re-started with a new or test configuration.
The Foxboro SCD6000 controller has the ability to update online parameters
communication protocols, so that the user need not restart the RTU if certain
parameters such as delays and timeouts are changed.
Control Points will now have the last five control events with Request Time, Operate
Time, Value, and CE Flag.

SCD6000 Controller Multi-Slot Cardfile Formats

Multi-Slot Cardfile Formats

The SCD6000 is provided with a passive parallel backplane that makes it possible to
provide a number of formats with varying number of IO slots. Each format allows one
CPU. The popular card file format for the SCD6000 is a 19 inch rack file, which
includes a wide range power supply, a COE [CPU, OptoNet, and Ethernet] variant of
the CPU module, and space to accommodate up to 10 standard width IO modules.
Use OptoNet cables to interconnect each rack to allow a scalable solution involving
multiple computing nodes. Use the 5-slot cardfile to accommodate higher
communications densities. In this case, a COPE [variant of the CPU module] supplies
backplane power, which avoids the need for a separate wide range power supply. Use
the 5 slot file for smaller spaces where a 19 inch rack solution might not be feasible.

File Power Supply SCD6000 Controller

File Power Supply

In smaller file formats (up to 5 I/O modules), the COPE's integral 40 W wide input
voltage supply powers the system.

Optional Power Supply

A standalone power supply module needs to power the I/O modules and provide the
field supply in the 10 I/O module file format. These power supplies operate from 19.2
to 148VDC.

NOTE:
• Performance database contains 40K database points in a single Modbus
TCP Slave on a standalone SCD6000 configuration.
• Only Modbus TCP Slave Protocol is configured.
• The maximum number of Modbus TCP Slaves can be configured on single
SCD6000 is 139.
• The SCD6000 configured with two Modbus TCP Slaves with same database
points can communicate with two Modbus Master.
