The IDM T2 The IDM T4

The IDM T2 is a powerful, cost effective upgrade that extends
the life of existing DFRs providing all the functions of the IDM,
including GPS time synchronization, higher scan rates and
software sensors. The upgrade retains the signal conditioning of
the original DFR allowing an upgrade to be performed without
requiring any modification to protection wiring.
Appendices
The IDM T4 is an IDM T1 enclosed in a carrying case for
portable use. Access to the 10 analog and 16 event channels is
via 4mm safety connectors accessible at the rear of the case.
External VT boxes and CT clamps are used for monitoring
feeder circuits. These isolated signals are then fed to the 10
analog channels of the IDM.

IDM Installation Configurations

Introduction
In those installations where more than one IDM DAU is
installed at a given location then they communicate with LAN/WAN

each other using twisted pair or fibre-optic Ethernet. To PC

interconnect devices using Ethernet a hub is required and
some sample network topologies are shown below. Twisted
pair Ethernet communications , also known as 10Base-T,
HUB

has a maximum range of 100m (300 feet) under normal
conditions however care should be taken in substation 10Base-T or 10Base-FL network

installations to avoid induced transients from other

conductors. For this reason it is not normally recommended
to extend twisted pair Ethernet cables beyond an adjacent
cubicle in a substation environment. Fibre-optic Ethernet DAU 1 DAU 2 LSU Printer

Using NGTS with PPS

The NGTS standard, in addition to the serial time code packet,
defines a pulse per minute epoch marker. This pulse is too
infrequent and cannot be used by the DAU (the DAU requires a
pulse per second). Thus, connection of only the NGTS serial
time code packet to a DAU will prevent time errors due to drift,
as a NGTS serial time code packet is issued every minute, but
accuracy to absolute time may be deviant by up to half a second
worst case.

Introduction
A rear view picture of the LSU is shown below. A rear view picture of the Hub shelf is shown below. It is used
for Ethernet connections to a DAUs and LSUs.

The Hub shelf is equipped with the following:

# RJ45 Ethernet hub for LAN connections

# 1pps Converter board

Installation
The 1pps Converter board converts 1pps RS485, TTL or fibre
inputs to up to eight fibre 1pps outputs. It also provides
regulated DC power to the hub and integral modem (if fitted).

The LSU is equipped with the following:

# COM1 serial port

Appendices
# COM2 (dongle)
Hub Shelf Rear

1pps Converter Board

The 1pps Converter Board is located underneath the Hub shelf
internal plate. It provides facilities to receive a pps via fibre,
BNC (voltage pulse) or RS485, and then echo that input pps via
fibre outputs, enabling pps distribution over long distances.

Note:
Fibre type is 62.5/125:m multimode.

The board has several jumpers that configure its operation.

Access to these jumpers is provided through cut-outs in the Hub
shelf internal plate.

Typically, the 1pps Converter Board is used to facilitate

distribution of a pps signal between clusters of IDM DAUs. For
example, a Master IDM DAU with an internal GPS will output a
pps signal via RS485. This may be connected to a 1pps
Converter Board RS485 input and so provide fibre pps signals
for sending long distances to other IDM DAUs. The fibre pps
from the 1pps Converter Board may be connected directly to the
pps fibre input of remote IDM DAUs.
LSU Rear Connections
The 1pps Converter Board supports an external pps pulse via the
BNC connector. The external pulse must be normally 0Vdc

Note:
If JP1:2-3 is selected (source of pps input is

must be connected to the board, either the

The Access Database and File
Storage
About the Access Database
ReplayPlus uses a Microsoft Access database to store
information about IDM DAUs. The database is located in the
folder specified during the installation of ReplayPlus, by default
this is C:\ReplayPlus. The default name of this database is
Replayplus.mdb. If you use multiple databases they require
different names or should be placed in different folders.
Folder Structure
ReplayPlus creates working folders to store record data and the
default working directory is C:\ReplayPlus\WrkDir.
However, if a different directory is chosen for your database,
that directory should also be used for your working folder. For
example, if you choose to place a database called IDM.mdb in a
directory C:\hathaway then your working directory should also
be C:\hathaway.

4 Channel IDM DC Isolation Board
The DC Isolation board is mounted behind the front panel of the
CT Rack. The front panel of the CT Rack is hinged on the left
side and swings open to facilitate easy access to the board.
Each of the four identical independent channels has the
capability to accept inputs in the range 0V to 480Vdc. This is
achieved by pre-selecting a particular range for each channel, set
by placing a link in one of four possible positions for jumper
J101 to J104.

The board (Hathaway PCB 12-8303) consists of four AD210

Introduction
Calibration Procedure

Installation
Step 1 - Equipment Checklist
The following equipment is required for IDM calibration:

# 4-digit DVM
# AC injection test set
# PC running IDMCal software, version 2.12 or better

ReplayPlus
Caution!
Dangerous voltages may be present during testing.
Anti-static procedures must be followed.
IDMCal Startup Screen

Step 2 - Initial Tests
To calibrate an IDM VT/CT board, the following information is
required:
# Number of Voltage channels and their analog channel
numbers
# Selected Voltage range(s)
# Number of Current channels and their analog channel
numbers
# Selected Current range(s)
The IDM is calibrated to the customers requirement with the
CPU board, Analog board, Event board and VT/CT board 1 and
2 in place. All jumpers on the VT/CT and Analog boards will
have been configured as per customer requirements.
Appendices
Each analog channel can be assigned a Group Number (1 - 17),
where analog channels of the same FSD and units may be
assigned the same Group Number. All channels given the same
Group Number will contain the same FSD and Unit information
automatically.
Example DAU configuration as follows:
# Five 80V voltage channels (1 - 5)
# Six 20A current channels (6 - 11)
# Five 100A current channels (12 -16)
Select Group Number 1, Channel 1, type in the channel full
scale FSD and its units, i.e, 80 and V respectively. Now all
channels 1 - 17 in Group Number 1 contain this same
information.

Step 3 - Calibration Configuration
Run the IDMCal program. Click on Calibrate a DAU from
the startup screen. The Select Groups, then FSDs and Units
dialog allows the analog channel configuration of the DAU to
be set.
For the 20A current channels 6 - 11, go to the analog channel
numbers 6 , 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and change the corresponding Group
Number to 2. Now go to channel 6 and enter the FSD value as
20 and the Units value as A. Channels 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 are
automatically updated with this information as they are in the
same Group (2).

Click on Load to select a pre-formatted setup to be loaded. This

Boot Loader Mode

Boot Loader mode allows new binary files (Configuration,
DSP/FPGA or Application) to be sent to the IDM DAU via its
COM1 serial port. The Boot Loader will automatically install
such new files to the IDM DAU.

When in Boot Loader mode, the IDM DAU Recovery procedure

outlined in the previous section may be used.

If required, the IDM DAU may be put into Boot Loader mode
manually. On the IDM CPU board there are two small push
button switches which should be operated as described below to
force the IDM DAU into Boot Loader mode:

1. Press the Reset and Boot Loader buttons together.

2. Release the Reset button first then the Boot Loader button
