The processing unit RPV311 and the acquisition modules RA331, RA332, and RA333
offer a distributed solution for Multifunction Digital Recording. The solution is
designed for the acquisition, monitoring and recording of electrical quantities
normally associated with electrical power generation, transmission or distribution
equipment. It is the solution for applications which require flexibility, allowing
installation of RPV311 Processing Unit in existing panels and the Acquisition Modules
RA331, RA332, and RA333 near to the plant seeing monitored the applications
installation.
The RPV311Solution is a multifunction equipment with fan-less and no rotating part
design. It has an acquisition system with 16-bit A/D D converters that provide an
acquisition rate of 256 points-per-cycle synchronized by the IRIG-B signal.
It has a high processing capability, which allows the acquisition of up to 64 analog
channels and 256 digital channels divided in up to 8 acquisition modules connected
by fiber-optic links. Additionally, it is able to detect IEC 61850 GOOSE messages.
It allows communication through the electrical Ethernet ports and optionally has a
double internal converter for optical Ethernet interfaces.
Monitoring and configuration are performed through a web interface; also, it has a
human-machine interface on the front panel for displaying information. It has a
MODBUS and DNP3 interface for SCADA integration.
The RA331 module allows data acquisition of up to 8 analogue channels (voltage,
current, or DC transducers) and up to 32 digital channels. The RA332 module allows
data acquisition of up to 16 analogue channels (voltage, current, or DC transducers)
and up to 32 digital channels. Both modules use 16-bit A/D converters providing an
acquisition rate of 256 points-per-cycle.
The RA333 module allows data acquisition of high-speed analog channels (voltage)
for one transmission line. This module allows the scheme to obtain traveling wave
records for fault locating. Additionally, the RA333 module allows data acquisition of
up to 8 analog channels (voltage, current, or DC transducers) and up to 16 digital
channels, using 16-bit A/D converters providing an acquisition rate of 256 points-per-
cycle.
Unpack the equipment carefully and make sure that all accessories and cables are
put away so they will not be lost.
Check the contents against the packing list. If any of the contents listed is missing,
please contact Alstom immediately (see contact information at the beginning of this
manual).
Examine the equipment for any shipping damage. If the unit is damaged or fails to
operate, notify the shipping company immediately. Only the consignee (the person or
