e-terragridcom T390 an answer to New Scada
feature/constraints
Modular equipment.
Basic 4 integrated modem RS 232 in analogue mode up
to a complete range of speed including V11.
LAN communication available (Digital Mode only).
Data rate from 1200 bit/s in FSK with RS 232 to 128
kbit/s with LAN communication or 64 kbit/s using
V11(Digital Mode only).
Very low latency even in digital mode to make it possible
to transit data over many hops.
Pooling mode ( point to multipoint ) allowed in traditional
analogue mode or digital mode for faster transit

mode or 8 or 16 kHz
Superimposed mode allowing to reduce by half
bandwidth requirement compare to analogue or
other competitor digital equipment
Paralleling of e-terragridcom T390 with other PLC
equipment analogue or digital possible due to IEC
60495 latest edition compliance.
Offer a smooth evolution to higher bit rate and new
service (IP) based with IEC 104 or future IEC 61850

Fully compliant with the requirement of the Cigr
committee recommending an analogue channel
dedicated to the teleprotection signals
Teleprotection signals are fully independent from the
digital channel. e-terragridcom T390 with its
standard 4wires interface can accommodate all
standard stand alone teleprotection
Boost mode / the Full PLC power is allocated to the
teleprotection signal in order to have the lowest Pmc
Possibility to use as low as 2+2 kHz for
teleprotection only application with stand alone
teleprotection like e-terragridcom DIP dual tone
functioning or integrated teleprotection TPI.

Operating Mode 1: Analog Single Tone Mode
Frequency coding in the 0 - 4
As part of this principle the standby state (all the contacts whose
kHz band
position is to be transmitted open) corresponds to the continuous
transmission of a Guard Frequency. If one or more contacts close,
transmission of the guard frequency stops and one or up to 4
command frequencies FC are transmitted (via closed contact or
transmitted command).

mode,

the 0 - the

bandtone or the command dual
tone is always transmitted.
When using PLC medium, at the reverse of single tone version,
using the signalling of PLC as guard tone (also called silent
mode) is impossible.
In dual tone mode, the Guard frequency is F8 and command
frequencies are coded
in a combination of 2 frequencies
between F1 and F7.
