Communication Capabilities
Extensive communications capabilities allow the
SCOUT-S to connect to IEDs either on multiple ports
with multi-drop configurations or over three Ethernet
ports. Communication to the master(s) can be
configured to occur via serial ports or Ethernet ports.
When connected to an Ethernet LAN, one or more
serial ports can be configured to act as terminal
server ports. This allows a remote device (the master
or other appropriate computer on the LAN) to access
this port and exchange data with an external device.
As an example, this feature can be used to remotely
configure IEDs or upload historical data files.
The SCOUT-S has a dedicated serial port for
configuration, point monitoring and diagnostics.
A simple terminal connected to this port will act
as the human interface.
Station Controllers not only combine the functions
of a traditional RTU with the functionality of a Data
Concentrator, but also includes a Terminal Sever
and a Web Server.
Extensive communications capabilities are available
over both serial and Ethernet networks. Modular I/O
architecture allows the SCOUT-S to be scaled to the
desired point size up to256 I/O points of each type per
SCOUT-S module up to a database size of 16,000 points.
This innovative architecture allows the SCOUT-S to
monitor and control points connected directly to the RTU.
The modular I/O boards are compatible with those used
on previous Survalent RTUs, ensuring that the SCOUT-S
unit can replace the main electronic circuits in previous
RTUs such as the XPPB.
This capability also enables a customer to upgrade
to a more feature-rich RTU while leaving the external
wiring untouched. This upgrade capability also applies
to the older 6CPP4 and 6CPP6 RTU models.
When connected to an Ethernet LAN, the same
configuration and diagnostic operations can be
performed remotely on the RTU via Telnet or a
web browser.
A powerful web server is also integrated
within the SCOUT-S, allowing operation,
maintenance, and configuration of the
RTU without the need of proprietary
software. Any standard web browser
allows direct access to the web server
built-in within the SCOUT-S.
Simple configuration is provided by the Points Mapping
Wizard which allows points mapping of third party IEDs
and I/O cards in a graphical environment. An extensive
library of point maps is available for the most common
IEDs available on the market, making IED point mapping
a few clicks of the mouse.
