1. INTRODUCTION
MiCOM C264 Ethernet switches are designed to address the needs of a wide range of
electric plant. Emphasis has been placed on strong compliance to standards, scalability,
modularity and open architecture.
These facilitate use in a range of applications from the most basic to the most demanding.
They also ensure interoperability with existing components.
AREVA T&D philosophy is to provide a range of Ethernet products like switch that match all
general requirements needed in electric substation: power supply, immunity to environmental
constraints.
It provides also solutions to specific requirement like for example network redundancy
management and high availability performances.
Each of these boards can be used in MiCOM C264 “standalone” application or can be
integrated to a Digital Control System (DCS) (as PACIS) or to various kind of systems and
SCADA architectures.
1.1 MiCOM C264 Ethernet Switch boards
Driven by the requirements around the world for advanced applications in SCADA, Digital
Control Systems, Automation, control and monitoring, AREVA T&D has designed and still
developing a complete range of products that communicate via Ethernet links.
Electric plant requirements leads to constraints that are rarely full-filled by standard Ethernet
products: environmental, power supply, redundancy, etc.
This new MiCOM range of Ethernet switch, the MiCOM Hxxx has been specially tailored for
the PACiS system. The MiCOM Hxxx range is designed to address the needs of a wide
range of installations, from small to large and customer applications.
1.2 Ethernet Switch names
Basically the naming of Ethernet switch boards depends on its facilities and its interface:
copper, optical single-Mode, optical Multi-Mode.
The existing devices are:
S0204ENa
Port MII
SHM N°
Failsafe Self healing ring
output relays manager
Primary Fiber
Secondary Fiber
Optical Ring
C0420ENa
• Watching the quality of transmission. Each frame (Ethernet packet or checking frame)
is controlled by the SHM. A detection of large error rate will eliminate the faulty link
and start automatically the self healing,
• Supervising the link same in the absence of traffic on the primary link (every 5 µs
checking frames are sending to test the link). The link is supervised permanently with
the real frame.

When the frame circulates on the ring it does not cross the switch the transit time is only tl.

2.1.6 Benefits
• Ultra fast ring redundant capability (< 1ms for network reconfiguration)
• Fast propagation on the ring (no transfer time (Store and forward mechanism ) with
the switch)
• Ring management
2.2 SNMP Management
Simple Network Management Protocol is the network protocol developed to manage devices
on an IP network. With SNMP the available information is defined by Management
Information Bases (MIB). The format of SNMP data takes the form of a tree structure, with
each node in the tree being identified by a numerical Object IDentifier (OID). Each OID
identifies a variable that can be read or set via SNMP with an appropriate software. The
information in the MIBs is standardised.
2.2.1 SWR21x - MIB Structure
The SNMP MIB consists in distinct OIDs; each of them refers to a defined collection of
specific information used to manage devices on the AREVA’ ring. The AREVA MIB uses
three types of OID.
