Whats New
GE Energy is pleased to announce the following additions to the D20/D200 product family:
Seven serial ports, each of which can be configured as either RS-485 or RS-232, and
Each D20ME II RS-485 port can communicate with up to 32 devices and operate over distances up
to 4000 feet, without the use of repeaters (see note below). The D20ME II is backwards compatible
with VME and non-VME versions of the D20 chassis, and with the D200 chassis. For more
information, see section 2.2, Main Processor.
Note: The RS-485 port on the D20ME II provides no isolation and offers limited built-in
transient suppression. If you are using the D20ME II in an environment where longer cable runs
with larger transients are expected, installation of an external transient suppression device is
recommended to protect the RTU. In addition, GE recommends the installation of an external
transient suppression device when the RS-485 communication cable must be run to devices
located outside of the RTU cabinet containing the D20ME II. Error! Reference source not
found. for additional information.

The logic panel is housed in a metal enclosure, which plugs directly into the termination panel.
The logic panel enclosure is faced with a semi-transparent acrylic cover, which allows the user to
monitor LED displays for various peripheral functions and field I/O points.
If a unit fails, the operator unplugs the failed logic panel and replaces it with a working unit
while the power remains on. Once the new unit is installed, the D20/D200 automatically
downloads the appropriate operating software and database parameters to the module to make it
operational.
2.1.5 Environmental
Typical operating temperature range of -10C to +55C and a relative humidity range of 0 to
95%, non-condensing.
Note: At higher extremes of the temperature and humidity operating ranges (i.e., when
temperature and humidity are both high), occasional errors may be observed on RS485/D.20 links; however, packets with errors are detected and retransmitted by the data
communications protocol. The net result is error-free communications.
Storage conditions, with equipment de-energised: temperature range of -40C to +80C (0C to
+70C for Graphics Display) and relative humidity less than 95%, non-condensing.

In the following sections, references to the D20ME apply also to the D20ME II,
unless explicitly stated.
2.2.1 Hardware
The D20ME is an advanced, single board, VME-bus-compatible central processing unit. It uses a
real-time multi-tasking operating system that supports all standard SCADA/EMS related
functions and advanced custom applications. It features high-speed CMOS logic devices that
ensure low power consumption, noise immunity and reliability.

The D20ME consists of five distinct interacting circuit blocks, as shown in Figure 19.
CPU/Control performs data processing, device addressing and system control. The D20ME
uses an MC68030 32-bit microprocessor, which is capable of addressing up to four
megabytes of on-board memory or four gigabytes when used in conjunction with external
memory accessible via the VME bus interface. Also included in this block are address
decoding, clock and control signal generation, asynchronous control, power
monitor/watchdog timer/reset, status output port and diagnostic/debug facilities.
Memory consists of memory components and circuits. The D20ME uses boot EPROM and
three banks of four sets of memory devices (static RAM, non-volatile RAM, and flash)
providing up to 1.5 MB, 0.5 MB, and 2 MB respectively of on-board memory.
Interrupt Control consists of an interrupt handler designed specifically for the VME bus. It
operates in conjunction with a VME bus controller, and determines the importance of, and
controls, interrupts from the serial ports, the D.20 Link HDLC chip, and the real-time clock.
Serial I/O is the communications center of the D20ME. It consists of two D.20 HDLC
communications ports, one RS-232 9600 baud maintenance port and seven byte-oriented
asynchronous RS-232 communication ports. The seven serial ports, all of which are
programmable, are used for communication with SCADA/EMS master stations and/or other
serial devices, such as printers and IEDs. The HDLC port handles a bit-oriented D.20
protocol structure for communicating with the D20 I/O peripheral.
VME Bus Interface. The D20ME operates as the VME bus master to allow it to interface to,
control and arbitrate the VME bus.

2.2.3 Firmware
The D20ME contains two types of firmware: BootROM and flash applications. BootROM
contains the software needed to start up a D20 and diagnostic applications. Application software
consists of a base system that includes the operating system, hardware-dependent software, and
applications that are modular and hardware-independent so they can run on multiple platforms
(D20, D25 and iBOX, for example).
2.2.3.1 BootROM
BootROM firmware is stored on an EPROM chip. The following types of programs are stored as
BootROM firmware:
Operating system
Device drivers
Monitor functions
Root process
Watchdog task
Operating System
The D20ME operating system is pSOS. pSOS is a real-time, multi-tasking operating system
kernel, with the following features:
Priority scheduling of processes in coordination with other tasks. User applications are
partitioned into sets of processes

algorithm
Real-time clock control managed via a service call from an external time base. The real-time
clock:
Maintains calendar time
Performs time slicing, which allows processes to pause
Supplies a time-out option to other service calls
Boot-Up Code
The D20 system initializes from the BootROM. It checks and verifies the contents of the
BootROM, then initializes the system hardware and various I/O devices. If it finds any errors or
defects in the memory, the system either shuts down to a minimum running state or, in the event
of serious defects, shuts down completely.
After the initial diagnostic routines are run, the boot-up code downloads the operating system
code into RAM so that it can be accessed more quickly. From this point on, all resident firmware
and supplied custom applications run from either 32-bit wide RAM or 32-bit wide flash. The
system and application databases are stored in NVRAM.
Device Drivers
The D20 uses two communication device drivers:
Octart serial I/O chip, which manages input and output through eight serial ports.
HDLC controller chip (dual-port), which forms part of the high-speed D.20 Link between
the D20ME and the D20 I/O peripherals.

Base applications, which are stored in flash memory, can be classified as one of the following:
Data Processing Applications (DPAs), which request and process data required by a
host/master computer.
Data Translation Applications (DTAs), which manipulate data inside the RTU to generate
new information, translate data to different formats, or take action when certain events occur.

One of the D20ME/ME II serial ports is connected to the demodulated IRIG B port (IRIG,
InterRange Instrumentation Group) of a GPS receiver (or other device), as illustrated in Figure
20. The D20ME/ME II obtains accurate time information from the GPS receiver then regularly
distributes this information to the connected substation devices that require it. For example, the
D20ME/ME II can operate as an SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) server, distributing
time information to devices that are equipped with SNTP clients.

The IRIG B format supports the time of day (hours, minutes, seconds) and the day of the year.
The day of the year is the elapsed day starting from January 1st, and is reported as a number from
1 to 365 (366 for leap years). Year information is not provided by the IRIG B signal. Accuracy to
milliseconds is obtained by tagging the leading edge of the pulse train to the time defined by the
pulse train.
The D20EME allows VME-based D20 and D200 systems to be connected directly to any
10 Mbps Ethernet-based network. Available configurations of the D20EME module include:
Ethernet only
Memory only
Memory configurations come equipped with 8 MB of battery-backed static RAM. This additional
memory increases the amount of historical data, and the size of the database, that can be
maintained by the D20/D200. Memory capacity can be upgraded to 16 MB, through the
installation of an additional memory module.
Ethernet configurations are equipped with two independent 10 Mbps Ethernet channels. A Media
Interface Card provides the physical Ethernet interface. Several versions of the MIC are
available, depending on the Ethernet format.

There are two main types of peripheral I/O software: common code and base-application code.
Similar to the D20 main processor software, peripheral software is installed as firmware on the
modules. Common code is resident in the peripheral modules, and device-specific base
applications are stored in the D20 main processor then downloaded to the peripheral modules at
boot-up.

Library resources.
Real-Time Executive
The operating system of the peripheral units is a real-time executive, which controls process
scheduling, and resource and interrupt management. The real-time executive controls three basic
processes: watchdog, diagnostics and maintenance facility. It also controls some application
processes downloaded from the D20/D200.
The real-time executive supports pausing, time-outs and suspension of the maintenance process
while maintenance port operations are in progress. A limited number of monitor (debugging)
functions are available as development tools for creating new code for peripherals.
Watchdog and Reset Code
The 68HC11 microcomputer chip on the peripherals includes a built-in watchdog to help protect
against software failures. The reset code also performs the initialization in the peripherals.
Diagnostics
The diagnostic processes, governed by the real-time executive, include a sub-routine that
performs checks specific to the peripheral type.
Device Drivers
Peripheral modules have two device drivers:
Serial Port, a serial communications interface which allows the connection of a VT100
terminal or PC for running maintenance facilities.
HDLC drives the HDLC protocol controller for the D.20 Link between the D20 main
processor and I/O peripherals.
Peripheral Communications
The resident peripheral communication process functions continuously, requesting and receiving
data from the I/O peripherals, then forwarding these over the HDLC link to the D20 main
processor. Module-specific applications and configurations are downloaded to the D20 I/O
peripherals as required. Communication failures between the D20 main processor and D20 I/O
peripherals are logged and reported to the master if required.
Common Code Interface
The Common Code Interface provides quick and easy access to various programs making up the
peripheral common code. This interface reduces the size of the application code that is
downloaded from the D20/D200 by using a jump-table at a fixed address in the peripheral
module. The jump-table accesses the peripheral module library resources, executive entry points,
display functions and keyboard input/output for the maintenance port.
Promaint
Similar to WESMAINT on the D20 main processor, Promaint is the maintenance facility for the
peripheral modules. Promaint combines maintenance and monitor functions. The maintenance
42
PRPI-019-3.00-6

portion is used to view data, or to verify that the module is functioning correctly by, for example,
forcing a control point and then checking to see whether the control operation took effect.
The monitor facility is designed to interpret commands from the maintenance port, such as
storing data to memory. It can also execute various application-dependent commands once an
application program has been downloaded from the D20/D200.
Library Resources
The peripheral module library resources contain several general-purpose conversion routines.
Diagnostics
Application-specific maintenance
These functions are initiated by a separate clock source or hardware-driven IRQ rather than by
the real-time executive.
The base-application code is stored in the EPROM (labeled pcommon) on the D20 main
processor and downloaded to the peripheral modules, where it is stored in RAM, along with a
checksum for verification purposes. A base-application database (unique to each peripheral type)
is downloaded to the peripherals at the same time. Peripheral base applications communicate
with the D20 main processor through the common code communications process, then over the
D.20 Link.

The D20S Digital Input Peripheral, illustrated above, obtains and processes digital input states
from field devices. Changes of state in the digital inputs are reported to the D20 main processor
for further processing, over the high-speed D.20 Link.
Note: D20C peripherals are also able to process digital inputs. Digital input processing on the
D20C is the same as that on the D20 S. More information on the D20C is provided in
section 2.4.10 , D20C Combination I/O Peripheral.
The D20S logic module plugs directly into a D20S termination panel equipped with screw
compression type terminals for field terminations. The D20S termination panel is jumper
configurable, so that contact wetting can be supplied from either the D20S power source or from
an external source. Wetting voltage is fused and monitored.
The D20S can accept up to 64 digital inputs, each of which can be configured from a
downloaded database to be processed as one of the following:
44
PRPI-019-3.00-6
GE Information
GE Digital Energy
The 64 digital inputs are organized in eight groups of eight electrically isolated inputs, each
group with a common return. Each input is photo coupled and can accept inputs of 24, 48 or 130
V DC of any polarity. The microprocessor scans each input at one millisecond intervals and
provides selectable debounce of 4 to 255 ms. Changes are time-tagged to a resolution of one
millisecond and placed in a first in - first out (FIFO) buffer for transmission to the D20 main
processor. Refer to Figure 29.
Time-tagged changes are reported in chronological order. Non-time-tagged changes are placed in
a separate FIFO buffer and reported upon request. An anti-chatter filter function prevents one or
more chattering points from filling the FIFO buffer. Each COS and SOE FIFO buffer is 256
events long.

Software Debouncing: Used to verify that a digital input point has actually changed state.
Two levels of software debouncing are provided:
First-level debouncing, which can be provided on a per-point basis, is used to filter
glitches and contact bounce. The first-level debounce period can be configured, on a perpoint basis, to any value between 0 and 255 ms, in 1 ms increments.
Second-level debouncing is used to qualify data that has been first-level debounced. The
input state must remain stable through the second-level debounce period, configurable on
an individual point basis, before a valid change will be reported.
Chatter Filtering: A digital input is disabled if the number of state changes encountered
during a defined time interval is excessively high. While the chatter filter is ON, all state
transitions are ignored. While it is OFF, state transitions are gated through. Reports are
issued whenever the chatter filter state changes from ON to OFF, or from OFF to ON. The
filter period is programmable, on a per-system basis, from 6 to 65535 ms, in increments of 1
ms. The lock-out period, which defines the minimum number of filter periods during which
the chatter filter is ON, is programmable on a per-point basis, from 0 to 65535, in increments
of 1 ms. The maximum expected number of state transitions is programmable, on a per-point
basis, from 0 to 255, in increments of 1 ms.
Report Limiting: You can specify the minimum number of state transitions that must occur
before a report is sent. The minimum number of state transitions can be programmed, on a
per-point basis, to any value between 0 and 255 ms, in increments of 1 ms. If it is set to 0, a
report will be issued every time a state transition occurs.
Field Input Scanning collects data about the status of various field points, records debounce
changes, controls filtering, time-tags various changes, and queues them in a change-of-state
queue for processing. The input scan period is 1 millisecond, and the state of all 64 points is
recorded during each scan.
Field Input Processing processes the changes of state (recorded during the scan process)
that are queued. The results of processing are either buffered COS, SOE or transition counts
for accumulator inputs.
Communication Interface, with the D20 main processor, consists of a set of interfacefunction address tables that are downloaded with the base-application code. The addressed
functions are application controls and data transfer functions.

Analog Inputs
The D20A analog input module is capable of handling 32 differential analog inputs. The
conversion process is performed using a +/- 5 V full scale voltage only, with a software
controlled programmable gain amplifier providing full-scale input voltage ranges of +/- 1.0 V,
+/- 5.0 V and +/- 10 V on any input. Any required current input is accommodated using precision
shunt-resistor analog-scaling networks on each input. Adaptors at the input of each analog point
convert current and unusual voltage inputs to the required 1, 5 or 10 V full-scale input. Refer to
the Index for a list of available analog input adapters.
Conversion
After the input has been appropriately scaled, it is fed into a voltage-to-frequency converter. To
reject line noise (NMR), the output frequency is counted over a 50 or 60 Hz period (user
configurable). This value is compared to the microprocessor count over the same period to obtain
a raw analog count. It is this raw analog value that is converted to a 14-bit (plus sign) number
(the digitized raw analog value) representing the input voltage. The microprocessor can convert
all of the 32 inputs within a scan period of 550 ms (60 Hz) to 656 ms (50 Hz.)
Voltage References
The D20A uses a high-precision voltage reference chip to provide seven on-board references for
auto-calibration. After a specified number of scans (user configurable), the microprocessor
converts each of the references. The new calculated reference values are then stored over the
previously converted values in the reference data table. If the new values are within a certain
range (user configurable) of the old values, they are kept. If they are out of this range, an error is
reported.
Auto Zero
Eight internal references, which include a temperature reference, provide auto zero and auto
calibration functions. This results in an accuracy and temperature stability of the module equal to
the internal precision voltage reference.
The calculation used to obtain the digitized raw analog value (during the conversion process)
would normally be based on a linear curve like Line A shown in Figure 33. Due to temperature,
gain and offset inaccuracies, the curve may be slightly non-linear (Line B, exaggerated for
demonstration purposes). The D20 minimizes this error by a technique called three-point
linearity correction. By separately calculating the linearity difference (slope m) of the 0 to +5 V
and 0 to -5 V ranges, the software can use a different equation for either positive or negative
values.

Deadbanding maps the set of all possible measured values to a smaller set of reported values.
The number of bits removed from the analog input values is configurable, on a per-point
basis, from 0 to 13.
Analog Multiplexing and Inputting: Field inputs and reference points are multiplexed.
Inputs are scaled by a programmable gain amplifier then fed into a voltage-to-frequency
converter that is part of the analog-to-digital conversion circuitry. From the output of this
converter, a digitized analog input is derived.
Analog Processing of the raw analog input data, using two different methods, depending on
whether the data comes from a field point or a reference point. There are full-scale voltage
range reference points for every group of 32 analog inputs.
If the data comes from a reference point, it is compared to a reference value stored in
EEPROM of the microprocessor. If it is too far out of range, it is stored in a reference table
and marked as an error. If the data is within range, it is stored as the new reference table.
If the data comes from a field point, it is compared against its corresponding full-scale
reference value. If it is over range, it is noted as such and is set to a value of 16383. If it is
under range, it is noted as such and is set to a value of -16383.

D20AZ 32 channel, high voltage termination board with separable compression blocks.
The D20K is a 32-point control output interface module. The 32 output drivers can be arranged
in several hardware/software configurations, depending on the system requirements. The D20K
ensures secure operation of the control output interface. All control actions requested by the
D20/D200 are initiated, timed, reset and validated by the D20K.
The D20K logic module plugs directly into a D20K termination panel, which is equipped with
field terminations. The D20K termination panel consists of 32 momentary control relays plus
two Master Trip and Close relays. The Master Trip and Close relay contacts are wired in series
with the point-select relay contacts controlling the output power for each point.
The D20K also provides a Local/Remote switch and control output fusing. The Local/Remote
switch is a manually operated switch used to disable D20K relay coil power during maintenance.
An off-line indication is passed to the D20 main processor, which is available as a pseudo status
to the host.

32 Trip/Close pairs

Hardware and software can also be configured to provide a wide range of control output
schemes, including parallel, pulse duration, pulse trains, and latched-output applications.
Control output duration is software-adjustable from 1 to 215 ms in one-millisecond increments,
on a per-point basis (protocol dependent). The D20K software also supports discrete timed/latch
relay functionality.
Hardware Control Security: Several levels of hardware control security are supported:
Single relay control
Master trip or master close relay, used in conjunction with the select relay (higher
hardware security)
Interposer relay protection, used in conjunction with the master and select relays (highest
hardware security)

Control Rules:
If two requests are destined for the same digital output point, they will not be applied
concurrently; instead, they will be applied sequentially. (Control requests can be
conducted concurrently, but only if one of the requests requires a master relay.).
If two requests requiring master relays are destined for different digital output points,
they can be conducted concurrently, as long as each request is associated with a different
set of master relays.
Request Queuing: Control operations can be queued, where this is required by the
application.
Request Repetition: Control pulse trains can be generated, where this is required by the
application.
Control Block Processor makes the control blocks active, sets a timer if, required, and sets
bits in the relay driver to activate the relay on the next pass of the relay driver.
Relay Driver is an interrupt-driven routine that runs every 500 s to check the status of the
relay coils. The Local/Remote switch physically cuts driver power to control relays,
preventing operations in the local position. Once the switch is placed back in remote mode,
normal operations resume. The relay driver also writes to the two relay-state tables, and reads
back and verifies what has been written to the tables.
Timer System is a linked-list timer that looks after the timing functions required by this
application (e.g. timing of arm messages).
Failure Detection detects loss of relay drive power, interposing power loss, and failure of an
output driver.

Using a D.20 Link, the D20 main processor can support up to 31 D20 I/O peripheral modules in
a standard configuration. Repeater/extension modules may be used to expand beyond this limit to
a maximum of 120 (D20) or 480 (D200) peripheral I/O modules.
The D20/D200 can be equipped to provide D.20 Link redundancy, as described in section 2.9.2 ,
D.20 Link Redundancy.
Generally, an RS-485 serial link is used for short distances, such as between D20 modules
located close together on a rack or mounted in a group, and a fiber optic link is used to extend
the D.20 Link to remotely located modules or in electrically noisy environments. When the D.20
Link is installed outside the substation control house, GE Digital Energy highly recommends the
use of a fiber optic cable.
For more information on planning a D.20 Link, refer to Appendix G, D.20 Link Installation.
D20 modules are configurable in star- or daisy-chain networks. Refer to Figure 38 for an
example of a D.20 Link configuration.

2.9 Redundancy
The D20/D200 supports the following fault-tolerant system configurations:
GE Information
PRPI-019-3.00-6
75
GE Digital Energy
Each D20/D200 contains identical hardware and software. The connection to field equipment is
made through an RS-232 Switch Panel. The position of the RS-232 Switch Panel, set either
automatically or manually, determines which D20/D200 is active.
On power up, the active D20/D200 initializes to an Active Polling state, acquiring data from
all substation devices and any local peripheral I/O reporting to it. Controls are executed as
directed by the master host system.
The standby D20/D200 monitors the state of the active D20/D200 via the inter-CCU
communications circuit. The standby D20/D200 operates in a warm standby mode; it does not
actively poll for data or execute controls. Some data may therefore be lost during a fail-over,
depending on the timing of the fail-over with respect to polling activity (i.e., the system is not hot
standby).
76
PRPI-019-3.00-6
GE Information
GE Digital Energy
If detected, the following hardware failures will result in a fail-over from the active to the
standby D20/D200:
Power failure
Bus error
When a failure of the active D20/D200 is detected, the standby D20/D200 is switched to an
active state, at which point it will initiate data collection and control functionality. The standby
D20/D200 completes a full update of its databases at this time. The originally active D20/D200
is disabled, with no fail-back operation. The standby D20/D200 system remains in the Active
Polling state, until manually restored to its original configuration.
A switchover can be manually forced from the RS-232 Switch Panel, or through the
WESMAINT maintenance interface.

communicate with some peripherals through D.20 Link A, and others through D.20 Link B.
Full D.20 Link Redundancy can be implemented, as shown in Figure 46:

This method requires the installation of a D.20 Link interface card (GE part number 540-0207)
on each I/O peripheral WESDAC board. As shown in Figure 46, each D.20 port in the D20/D200
is physically connected to each I/O peripheral. This connection could be implemented in a single
set of cables; however, this would limit the benefit of D.20 Link Redundancy since a cable cut
could damage both links. Instead, it would be more beneficial to implement LAN redundancy
using separate cables and cable routing. A D20 Adapter (GE part number 540-0313), installed at
each I/O peripheral, allows both D.20 Link A and D.20 Link B cabling to be connected to the
peripheral.
In the case of Failure Scenario 3, the D20/D200 will still be able to communicate with the I/O
peripherals through D.20 Link B. In the case of Failure Scenario 4, the D20/D200 will
communicate with some peripherals alternately through D.20 Link A and D.20 Link B, and with
others solely through D.20 Link B.

3.2 LogicLinx
The LogicLinx application is a powerful tool that allows the user to program PLC-like logic
functions in the D200 environment. LogicLinx consists of an executor, running in the remote
device firmware and an editor, running in a Windows PC environment, which is used to create
the desired programs. LogicLinx is compliant with all five programming languages defined in
the IEC 61131-3 standard.
3.3 WESMAINT
WESMAINT is a maintenance facility that resides on the D20 and D200. It uses a series of
menus and screens displayed on a PC or VT100 terminal to create a simple interface.
WESMAINT presets a window through which field technicians and programmers can look
directly into the equipment to view collected data and system status and, for some applications,
make changes to the configuration.

3.4 PROMAINT
Similar to WESMAINT, PROMAINT is the maintenance facility for the I/O peripheral modules.
PROMAINT combines maintenance and monitor functions. The maintenance portion is used to
view data, or to verify that the board is functioning correctly by, for example, forcing a control
point and then checking to see whether the control operation took effect.
This monitor facility is intended for advanced users to interpret commands from the maintenance
port, such as storing data to memory. It can also execute various application-dependent
commands once an application program has been downloaded from the D20/D200.

5.2 What is the difference between the D20 and the D200?
The D200, which uses the same hardware modules as those used in the D20, has a much higher
capacity than the D20. The D200s larger chassis can support up to seven vertically mounted
D20ME II processors, which, in turn, are each capable of supporting two D.20 and seven RS232/485 ports. GE recommends that our customers consult with us when using more that four
D20ME or D20ME II processors to ensure proper system performance.
Where a D20 can support two D.20 and seven RS-232 or RS-485 ports, the D200 can be
equipped with up to:
Two redundant D.20 channels, supporting up to 240 I/O peripherals (120 per redundant
pair)
49 RS-232 or RS-485 ports (seven per D20ME II Main Processor)

The maximum distance, for the communication portion (i.e. TX and RX), of the D.20 Link,
from the D20 termination panel to the Termination Resistor, is 1000 ft (300 m).
Repeater modules may be used to extend the D.20 Link beyond the maximum distance. The
DCI can extend this limit by 1000 ft.
The limit for the power supply portion (+DC & -DC) of the D.20 Link depends on the
loading. This, in turn, is determined by the following factors:
Number of peripherals per remote location
Maximum load of each peripheral (see D. Power Consumption D20 Modules)
IR drop on the cable
WESDAC Power Converters, rated at 20 W/125 V in, 24 or 48 V out, may be used for a
maximum of two peripheral modules.
To minimize the IR drop of the cable, a higher supply voltage (i.e. 48 V) for peripherals is
recommended. An auxiliary power supply, rated at 100 W/125 V DC in, 48 V DC out, may
be used.
At the start of the fiber optic cable (D20 end), the following items are required:
D20 fiber optic transceiver, either a 1:1 (DCI) or a 1:4 (DFS), depending on the number
of peripheral locations
Glass (GFO) or plastic (PFO) fiber optic adaptors, as required

Example:
Assume you are installing three D20A and two D20S modules on an RS-485 D.20 Link using
wire gauge #22 and a peripheral supply of 48 V. Calculate the maximum distance of the D.20
Link as follows:
PTotal
= nAA + nSS
=3xA+2xS
=3x5W+2x3W
= 21 W
= PTotal / Vp
= 21 W / 48 V
= 0.44 A
