MiCOM S30
Central Protection and Control Unit

MiCOM S30 is the up-to-date and cost-effective

Schneider Electric solution for substation control
and monitoring.
Besides local and remote monitoring and operation
MiCOM S30 provides communication, time
synchronization and access to intelligent protection and
control devices (IEDs). Factory built, pre-engineered
templates and an exhaustive support of a wide range
of MiCOM protection and control devices ensure
a quick and a reliable engineering and reduced
commissioning time.

Application
MiCOM S30, the central protection and control unit, enables acquisition
and logging of information and measured values, the automatic archiving of
disturbance fault records and status indication for a maximum of 127 IEDs
linked with the standardized serial communication interface according to IEC
60870-5-103.

For combined protection and control devices and bay units for control
and monitoring additional switchgear operation and status indications are
provided.

Overview, device and bay screens are generated by the integrated

configuration tool. Optionally a log archive is available. Additionally MiCOM
S30 is responsible for the time synchronization of the IEDs connected.
Customer benefits

EngineeringTools MiCOM S30
Using Schneider Electric latest Web-based
technology e-terra control, MiCOM S30 can be
integrated in a network-based distributed system
via an IEC 60870-5-101 / 104 communication link.
e-terra control’s full graphics user interface
simplifies the interaction with MiCOM S30 and
provides consistency across all Schneider Electric
applications.
Design
MiCOM S30 central protection and control unit
is built on a basic 19” rack system (6 U, 84 E) or a
wall-mounted unit with up to four communication
interfaces to the IEDs via star couplers or RS 485
interface modules.
The basic unit comprises a central processing unit
with a graphic and an Ethernet controller, a 12.1”
TFT color display, an alphanumeric keyboard, a
hard disk, a floppy drive and a CD-ROM drive as
well as a communication module.
A modem (19”, 2 U, 84 E) and a Web server are
integrated as well.

Functions
Status and information from the IEDs and for the
entire system are displayed on the integrated
local display.
The navigation through the screens is via 10
function keys (F1 … F10) of the integrated
membrane keyboard.
03
The screens are created menu-assisted by the
user with the integrated configuration tool and
the process data to be displayed can be selected
according to the application. Subsequently
devices may be added by the configuration tool.
The configuration tool provides a database of all
devices available for MiCOM S30.
These are a variety of Schneider Electric
protection devices, Schneider Electric combined
protection and control devices, Schneider Electric
bay units for control and monitoring as well as
the standard protection devices as defined in IEC
60870-5-103.
The database provides predefined templates and
bay screens for each of these IEDs, whereas the
bay screens correspond to the bay types of the
control devices. The database can be updated by
reloading.
Navigating through MiCOM S30 via the local
control panel, with each screen selected (overview
display, device of bay screen) a virtual keyboard
is shown at the bottom of the screen. The
functions available at the screen are assigned
to the function keys F1 ... F10. Thus apart from
stepping through the screens, the selection of
protection and/or control devices (e.g. automatic
reclosing enable/disable) or control commands
for switchgear devices like circuit-breakers or
disconnectors can be given.
Information from the IEDs are stored in a ring buffer
and displayed on the relevant screens.
These information events are filed as a daily log at
midnight on MiCOM S30’s hard disk. The ring buffer
can be viewed in the list of events on the local display.

EngineeringTools MiCOM S30
Disturbance fault data or long-term recordings being
recorded by the IEDs are transferred to the hard disk
as well. For the analysis of the fault data the external
viewer of the operating program MiCOM S1 can be
used.
Via the local serial interface the disturbance fault
data are transferred from MiCOM S30 hard disk to a
PC running the operating program MiCOM S1.
Furthermore IEDs selected for direct access can
be set from a central access point by the operating
program.
Using a modem link a PC running the operating
program communicates with MiCOM S30 via the
telephone network and the same functions are
available remotely as locally provided.
The PC with the operating program MiCOM S1
provides the function “Write daily log in a file
(updating)” via the local interface or remotely (via
modem). The daily logs generated on request and
the daily logs generated automatically at midnight
can be transferred via the local interface or remotely
(via modem) to the PC and viewed by an editor. For
the analysis in a spreadsheet program, the daily logs
are available in an appropriate file format.
The Web server of MiCOM S30 can be integrated
into to a LAN or WAN using the Ethernet interface or
may be addressed via the optional modem using a
Dial-up connection.
Accessing via TCP/IP protocol, the ‘homepage’ of
MiCOM S30 (HTML Web site) can be started by
a Web browser. Users with access privileges will
not require custom software to access data - the
Microsoft® Internet Explorer will suffice.
Disturbance fault data as well as the archived daily logs
stored in MiCOM S30 can be accessed via that page.
04
An actual daily log can be triggered from here.
After the file transfer to the PC running the browser
the data may be analyzed (e.g. by the fault record
viewer, a text viewer, a spreadsheet program or the
operationg program MiCOM S1)
The link to control centers (e.g. SCADA) is provided
by two optional serial communication interfaces
according to the international standard for Telecontrol
IEC 60870-5-101 as well as a communication
interface according to IEC 60870-5-104. Information
from the IEDs and the commands from the control
center are based on templates. A application specific
setting is supported by the configuration tool.
For the integration into a network-based distributed
system MiCOM S30 can be linked via a
IEC 60870-5-101 communication line to e-terracontrol.
e-terracontrol provides the following key features:
• Offering Web server functions
• Full graphics local HMI
• Sequence of events
• Event and alarm logging
• Historian data functions with trending
• Printing facilities
For the time synchronization of the IEDs the internal
clock of MiCOM S30 is used. Optionally time
synchronization is available with an integrated GPS /
DCF77 time signal receiver or the Net Time Protocol
(NTP).
LEDs at the front side of MiCOM S30 indicate the
status of power supply and the hard disk access.
Additionally at the 19” rack unit the status of
temperature and of the keyboard are indicated.
