COOPER POWER
Legacy RTU
replacement solution
SERIES
Reliable, secure and cost effective legacy RTU upgrade
solution using Eaton’s SG-4250 SMP family of products
Eaton’s legacy RTU
replacement solution
provides utilities with
a cost-effective
answer to upgrading
legacy GE D20 I/O RTUs.
Based on the utility
hardened and proven
Eaton’s Cooper Power
series SMP family of
substation automation
products, the SMP
SG-4250 gateway and
SMP I/O units, our basic
hardware agnostic
replacement solution,
supports most of the GE
D20 RTU configurations.
SG-4250 gateway
Eaton’s Cooper Power™
series SMP SG-4250 is a
substation grade gateway
with a proven history in data
acquisition and distribution
automation applications, as a
protocol conversion device and
integration solution for secure
IED remote access. It has been
recognized as one of the most
efficient and reliable substation
gateways on the market
and is perfect for distributed
automation.
Eaton’s solution features
•
Eaton’s replacement solution
is easily adaptable according to any specific GE D20
deployments
•
Hardware-agnostic solution
adapted to various GE D20
configurations using the
legacy RTU allocated space
•
Flexible upgrade options using
Eaton’s SMP SG-4250, SMP
I/O units and RTU interface
board while keeping existing
wiring
SMP I/O
The SMP I/O unit is a scalable,
distributed I/O substation
grade RTU module. It is
designed to work with the SMP
SG-4250 gateway–simplifying
both system setup and
commissioning.
•
•
Not changing the field wiring
allows for great cost savings
on field installation man-hours
and service interruptions
Fast and efficient system
integration using the advanced
SMP gateway SG-4250 HMI’s
Commissioning Tool and
functionalities
•
Available function for
pre-loading GE D20 existing
configuration into the SMP
SG-4250 gateway prior to
installation
•
Use of open industry
protocols (standard DNP3 over
a TCP/IP or RS-485 link) with
over 80 protocols to integrate
other IEDs in the substation
•
Expansion capabilities
with distributed SMP I/O
modules
•
Available in rack-mount or
wall-mount configuration
Eaton’s replacement solution
•
With Eaton’s solution, the
GE20 main control and I/O
boards are removed and
replaced with:
•
•
•
Benefits of Eaton’s
replacement solution
•
70% labor cost reduction
compared to a traditional
RTU replacement solution
due to the use of existing
wiring
•
Minimum substation outage
time required for the
replacement
•
Helps meet NERC CIP
requirements by securing IED
remote access and enhancing
SCADA communication links
•
Advanced operational
and non-operational data
management capabilities
•
Seamless I/O integration
between the SMP SG-4250
gateway and SMP I/O units
•
Enhanced automation
capabilities using the IEC
61131-3 Soft PLC
One (1) SMP SG-4250 gateway
SMP I/Os to match the required
GE D20 I/O functionnality
RTU Interface Board
•
Interposing relays
are kept (when present)
•
GE D20 connectors are simply
transferred to Eaton’s RTU
interface board, allowing for
the use of existing terminal
cables and field wiring
This solution is adaptable to
various GE D20 RTU configurations and fits into the legacy
RTU allocated space, providing
seamless field integration of
the SMP I/O units and the
SMP SG-4250 gateway.

Capabilities gained with Eaton’s RTU replacement solution
Getting even more from
the SMP SG-4250 Gateway
Additional capabilities of the SMP Gateway with Visual T&D and IMS
When the SMP SG-4250
gateway is associated with
Eaton’s Cooper Power™ series
Visual T&D™ solution and IED
Manager Suite (IMS), utilities
benefit from an even more
powerful tool.
Visual T&D
An alternative to SCADA,
Visual T&D is an easy-to-use,
pre-configured and scalable
smart monitoring and control
application that continuously
monitors substation and
distribution equipment
operation and performance.
Visual T&D automatically imports
all SMP gateway data points and
supports redundant networks; it
brings:
•
Strong HMI features
•
Perfect synergy with the
SMP gateway
•
SCADA features (multiple
data source and encrypted
communication links)
•
•
Centralized authentication
and single sign-on
Possibility of exportation
to a Syslog server
•
Allows IED inventory
•
Provides secure remote
access (auto-login, command
filtering)
•
Manages device configuration
settings (monitoring changes)
•
Manages password updates
•
Manages firmware updates
for SMP gateways, CBC-8000
capacitor bank controllers and
GridAdvisor Series II smart
sensors (more devices are
to be integrated in the future)
•
Retrieves faults records,
SOE and oscillography
•
Manages communication
with substation and IEDs
IED Manager Suite
IED Manager Suite (IMS) is
the complement to the SMP
gateway and Visual T&D
systems. IMS takes care
of the non-operational data
management; it is used to
provide automated fleet
management and includes
the following features and
capabilities:
•
•
Provides authentication and
authorization services (active
directory)
Provides built-in reports (can
be customized) for operation
and compliance
