1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 OVERVIEW
1 INTRODUCTION 1.1OVERVIEW
The CCU1000 provides a simple and technically complete solution to the integration and automation of electrical
substations as well as industrial plants. When IEDs in a substation or industrial plant are linked to a CCU1000 unit using
ENERVISTA substation automation software, the protection and control capabilities are extended to the whole system, as it
provides tools that can completely manage any substation/plant from the dispatch center.
The system formed by the CCU1000 controller and the protection relays is fully distributed, as every unit receives all
signals coming from its operation area, and it is able to perform associated functions, as well as to retrieve all necessary
states, measurements, events and records. The CCU1000 retrieves and manages all this information, making it accessible
both to the local operator and the remote control center. The system is scalable, as the user can define anytime the desired
level of integration, at a plant level or integrated with a SCADA or DCS master. The CCU1000 architecture and the
communication networks are designed to be easily adapted to any size, reliability and redundancy level requirement.
Besides, there are architecture solutions available for single/multiple system concentrators, HMIs and communication
channels at any level.
The CCU1000 is accessible in many different ways, including graphical screens of the substation/plant, single-line
diagrams, programmable screens, IED status, integrated alarms and event records, metering and oscillography records.
Besides, the CCU1000 incorporates software tools that allow the user to access any IED from a networked PC, or using a
monitor, keypad and mouse directly connected to the unit. The Enervista application software, running on the CCU1000,
allows to extract the plant/substation databases, so that it is possible to obtain all the required information, making it very
easy to analyze the system operation and the associated records at any engineering center.
The system can be remotely accessed by using a remote network access software. This access can be restricted to limited
personnel and it incorporates safety measures to prevent unauthorized access.
The SCADA functionality provided by Enervista software offers the possibility to connect to a remote SCADA or DCS in the
plant or to any dispatch center. This connection will be enabled using IEC 60870-5-101, IEC 60870-5-104, OPC or
MODBUS RTU communication protocols. External protocol converters can also be used if required.

2.1 MODULE DESCRIPTION 2 HARDWARE
2.1.1 POWER SUPPLY
CCU1000 can incorporate a simple or redundant power supply.

These modules work in parallel continuously, distributing the 50% of the load for each of them, thus ensuring greater
reliability, and an instantaneous load transfer from the failed power supply to the other one, without loss of time or module
reset.
The three contact terminals, normally open, common, and normally closed, are available at the external connector
2 terminals.
This is a fly-back type power supply, providing high efficiency, stability and reliability thanks to the maturity of this
technology. There are two available ranges, HI and LO, in order to optimize efficiency and general performance, including
the capability to tolerate auxiliary voltage interruptions (dips).
Oversized components highly resistant to temperature are used. For example, all capacitors are specified to stand up to
105C, transformer components are specially designed to stand up to 180C, the used MOSFET transistor is of very low
resistance, supports high voltage and it is refrigerated by an oversized heat sink. This allows to support temperatures over
the 60C shown in the Technical Characteristics section, and prolonged overloads such as the ones occurring at batteries
in deep charge mode (much higher than +15% voltage shown in the Technical Characteristics section).
High capacitance capacitors are also used, providing high tolerance to prolonged dips, 100ms, even in the most
unfavorable consumption conditions. This allows the unit to continue with normal operation without undesired resets, which
would cause a long time of protection unavailability.
2.1.2 CPU
CCU1000 incorporate a low consumption CPU. The microprocessor is Intel. The board format is ETX, and it holds a static
unit of heat dissipation via heat sink (there are not moving parts such as fans).
There are two storage modes:
2 Gbyte DOM (Disk On Module). It is protected against writing, contains the operative system and application software,
configuration databases, etc.
8 Gbyte compressed Compact flash; this partition will contain the trending information.
CCU1000 operates with Windows XP embedded operating system. The main software includes two parts: one of them runs
under embedded Windows XP and the other at real time. The graphic part is provided by Enervista.
CCU1000 CPU includes a SD RAM of 1024Mb.
2.1.3 FRONT MODULE
Front module with 16 status and 16 serial communication status leds.

The CCU1000 front plate includes a push button to set the substation/plant management in local or remote mode. When
the local mode is selected all remote operations will be forbidden. On the other hand, when the remote mode is selected,
only commands originated on Level 3 will be executed.
The CCU1000 incorporates 16 status LED indicators,15 programmable (5 red, 5 green & 5 yellow), they have memory and
blinking capabilities. The default configuration is as follows:
1. READY. The CCU1000 is on and communicating with the protection relays. Once the unit is powered, this LED will
remain red until the internal application of CCU1000 takes control of the unit. In this moment, the LED will turn green.
This LED can not be configured.
2. ALARMS. There is an active or not acknowledged alarm in the substation/plant.
3. MAINTENANCE. The CCU1000 is running in maintenance mode. In this mode, the unit configuration can be modified.
For accessing this operation mode it is necessary to connect the CCU1000 to a monitor, keypad and mouse, and
modify it when the unit is powered.
4. PLC BLOQ. The PLC software is internally blocked. Automatisms are blocked.
5. BUSY. The CCU1000 is busy sending commands to protection relays.

settings can be accessed and modified.
15. VISUAL MODE. The CCU1000 is in viewing mode, execnting commands and changing settings is not allowed.
16. WATCHDOG. The internal watchdog that monitors all the tasks inside the CCU1000 has been activated.
A mode selection button is also included with two associated LEDs that indicate the active mode.There is also one reset
push button that resets the latched LEDs.
The local & remote LEDs indicate which of the two modes is active. If the first one is activated, it means that the CCU1000
is in local mode (no remote actions can take place) and if the second one is active, the CCU1000 is remote mode, the
switchgears can only be executed from a remote device.

3.2 REDUNDANCY 3 APPLICATIONS
3.2REDUNDANCY
The CCU1000 capability for redundant connection guarantees the continuous system operation in case of component
failure and offers system availability of 100%. The following Figure 36 shows a typical redundant architecture diagram with
CCU1000. The proposed system is designed to ensure safe and continuous system operation even in case of a failure
inside the protection and control system.
There are two main types of redundant configuration: Hot-Standby and in parallel.
Hot-Standby Operation
In this first case, one of the CCU1000 relay masters is active and operates as master, maintaining communication
with protection relays, while the second CCU1000 is in standby mode, i.e. it is ready to activate communication with
the relays. Both units are communicated via a redundant RS-232 link. If any of the two CCU1000 fails, the second
unit will retake communications and become master unit of the system, while the failed unit would switch to standby
mode. This operation is automatic and managed by both CCU1000.
3 Parallel Operation
In this operation mode, both CCU1000 are in service simultaneously communicating with protection relays and the
remote control. If one of the units fails, the second CCU1000 would continue communicating with the rest of units in
the system. In this type of configuration, protection relays need to incorporate two communication ports, one for
each master device, or a networked port that allows simultaneous access from several master devices, as in the
case of UR and F650 relays. In the case of protection relays that provide only one port, an external converter can
be used to allow access from both master devices.
The two types of redundancy configuration are shown in the following Figure 36

each source) it passes to internal synchronization. Synchronizations between 23:55 y 0:05 are inhibited.
4.1.4.2 SNTP
Network time protocols use a client/server architecture. The client configuration requires the name of one or more ntp time
servers. To determine the current configuration of the client, use the following command from a command prompt:
C:\>net time /querysntp

This computer is not currently configured to use a specific SNTP server.
For example, if the ntp time server IP address is 192.168.1.1, to configure the client to use this time server, use the
following command:
C:\>net time /setsntp: 192.168.1.1
It may be necessary to restart the w32time service. To do this from the command line, use the following two commands:
net stop w32time

net start w32time

4.1.5 CONFIGURATION OF THE NETWORK
The CCU1000 includes an Ethernet connection and optionally an Ethernet extension card.
Figure 42 : ETHERNET & REDUNDANT ETHERNET PORTS

This extension card includes two extra network interfaces that can be configured as redundant to provide with fail over
capabilities. It uses two adapters to take over for the primary adapter should the first adapter, its cabling or the link partner
fail. Designed to ensure server availability to the network.
The default configuration for both cards is:
Main Ethernet Link DHCP enabled

Optional Ethernet Link DHCP enabled
Switch Fault Tolerance mode(SFT)
Uses two adapters connected to two switches to provide a fault tolerant
network connection in the event that the first adapter, its cabling or the
switch fail. This is determined by a link failure.

4.2 CCU1000 FILESYSTEM LAYOUT 4 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
4.2CCU1000 FILESYSTEM LAYOUT

The storage in the CCU1000 is based on Solid State Disks (SSD). Solid-state storage technology offers major benefits over
rotating disk drives, such as added security and unmatched ruggedness.
There are two different physical SSD disk devices in the CCU1000.
IDE ATA Flash disk. There are two partitions:
The first partition is a write-protected disk, which holds the operating system and the applications in the CCU1000. It
4 boots up identically each time, with any changes made to a protected drive being lost on power down. It is the C:\ drive.
Figure 424 : FLASH DISK

The second partition is mounted on D:\ and it is not write-protected. It holds the applications and configuration
databases of the CCU1000
Compact Flash. Used for mounting a writable partition which holds application data, including reports, events and
waveforms. It is the E:\ drive of the CCU1000. It can be easily replaced.It is the permanent storage of the CCU1000.
Figure 425 : COMPACT FLASH

Both disks hold a single compressed NTFS partition.
4.2.1 ENABLE AND DISABLE THE WRITE PROTECTION OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM IN CCU1000
CCU1000 uses the Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) that re-routes selected disk I/O to memory, thus providing the appearance
to the operating system that the read-only storage is writable.
Moreover, EWF is designed to protect the boot volume so effectively it's write protected and boots up identically each time,
with any changes made to a protected drive being lost on power down. If changes need to be saved, EWF API calls are
needed followed by a reboot to actually update the protected drive. Nevertheless, it is provided a command line utility called
EWFMGR.EXE that reports any protected volumes and provides various commands that will be processed on the next
restart of the PC.
There is an icon on the system tray showing the current state of the write filter. If the write filter is enabled that means that
all the changes made will dissapear after rebooting the system:

4 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 4.2 CCU1000 FILESYSTEM LAYOUT

Figure 426 : WRITE FILTER ON
And if the write filter is disabled it will show this other icon. If the write filter is disable, the changes made in the system will
be permanent:
Figure 427 : WRITE FILTER OFF
4.2.1.1 DISABLE THE WRITE PROTECTION OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM

From the Start menu, click Run, and type cmd in Run text box:
Figure 428 : RUN WINDOW

To check the current state of the protection see if the state is enable or disabled
Figure 429 : CHECKING THE STATE OF THE WRITE PROTECTION

If the state is ENABLED please disable the protection to make any change permanent.
The command ewfmgr c: -commitanddisable writes all changes that were made while the device is protected and disables
it for the next reboot. The DISABLED state indicates that the disk is not protected so any change will be permanent.
Figure 430 : COMAND FOR DISABLING THE PROTECTION

Then reboot the CCU1000. It is important to reboot rather than switch off and on which does not disable the protection. Use
the xpepm -restart command.
Figure 431 : COMAND FOR RESTARTING

Next time the system is booted the Write Filter should be disabled.

Figure 433 : ENABLING THE PROTECTION

Then reboot the CCU1000. Next time the system is booted the Write Filter should be enabled. It can be checked again by
means of the ewfmgr command:

Figure 434 : CHECKING THE STATE OF THE PROTECTION
4.2.1.3 TEST WRITE FILTER

To easily test EWF, follow these steps:
1. Enable EWF: run the ewfmgr c: -enable command.
2. Restart the CCU1000.
3. Modify something in the OS image.
4. Restart the computer again.
5. Verify that the modifications that you made in step 3 do not persist.

After setting up an FTP server, you need to create a folder structure for the CCU1000. By default, the FTP server will have
a root folder with the following path: D:\GE_NESIS.

4.3 CONFIGURING AN FTP SERVER 4 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
Figure 437 : DEFAULT FTP SITE PROPERTIES

Then you must create the physical folders where the files will reside. This can either be a subfolder of the FTP root or
another folder elsewhere on the computer. Moreover, you can also create a virtual root, or alias, that the FTP server will use
to point to the physical directory in which files will reside.
1. Create a new folder to hold files. You can name the folder anything you like. For example, name the new folder Files,
so that the path of the folder is e:\files.
2. In the Virtual Directory Creation Wizard, specify an alias (or name) that users can use to get to the FTP folder that you
created in step 1. The name can be anything you like. It is often least confusing to use the directory name as the alias
name, so that the virtual directory might be called Files.
3. For Access Permissions, specify Read, and then click Next to finish with the wizard.
When a FTP client connects to the CCU1000 FTP server will be automatically located in the root path (default is
d:\ge_nesis). Then it will see any virtual directory as if it was created there, no matter where they are actually located.

4.7.4 REMOTE DESKTOP CONNECTION USING INTERNET EXPLORER
The Remote Desktop Web Connection is a Win32-based ActiveX control (COM object) that can be used to run Remote
Desktop sessions from within Internet Explorer.
The Remote Desktop Web Connection is a high-encryption, Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) 5.0 client and uses RSA
Security's RC4 cipher with a key strength of 40-, 56-, or 128-bit, as determined by the computer to which it is connecting.
The Remote Desktop Web Connection uses the well-known RDP TCP port (3389) to communicate to the host. Unlike some
other display protocols, which send data over the network using clear text or with an easily decodable "scrambling"
algorithm, Remote Desktop Web Connection's built-in encryption makes it safe to use over any network-including the
Internet-as the protocol cannot be easily sniffed to discover passwords and other sensitive data.
To connect to the CCU1000 follow the next steps.
1. Open Internet Explorer, and enter the URL http://ipaddress/tsweb/. For example, if the IP address of the CCU1000 is
192.168.1.120, you would enter the URL http://192.168.1.120/tsweb/.
2. If you're prompted to install the Remote Desktop ActiveX control, click Yes.
3. On the CCU100 Remote Desktop Web Connection click Connect. You don't need to fill in the Server field. If you leave
the Size field set to Full-screen, the remote desktop will take over your local desktop.

open standard that permits a consistent method of accessing field data from plant floor devices. This method remains the
same regardless of the type and source of data.
OPC servers provide a method for many different software packages to access data from a process control device, such as
a PLC or DCS. Traditionally, any time a package needed access to data from a device, a custom interface, or driver, had to
4 be written. The purpose of OPC is to define a common interface that is written once and then reused by any business,
SCADA, HMI, or custom software packages.
Once an OPC server is written for a particular device, it can be reused by any application that is able to act as an OPC
client. OPC servers use Microsofts OLE technology (also known as the Component Object Model, or COM) to
communicate with clients. COM technology permits a standard for real-time information exchange between software
applications and process hardware to be defined.
Set the specific settings for the OPC server.

Make sure that the power cord is properly connected to both the back of the monitor and the wall outlet.
Make sure that the video cable is securely connected to the back of the CCU1000.
Make sure that the monitor is turned on.
If the power LED of the monitor is amber or blinking amber:
Make sure that the CCU1000 is turned on.
Move the mouse or press any key on the keyboard to bring the monitor out of Active Off mode.
Check the video port and the end of the video cable for any pins that might be bent or pushed in.
Make sure that the video cable is not damaged.
Restart the CCU1000 with the monitor turned on.
Perform a monitor self-test by turning off your monitor and unplugging the video cable from the back of the computer.
Turn the monitor back on and wait for ten seconds. If the monitor is functioning properly, a self-diagnostic screen
appears.
The maximum resolution is QXGA 2048x1536. Ensure that your monitor meets the current configuration. To boot in
VGA and mode and change the resolution follow the next steps:
1.Plug a keyboard on any free USB port.
2.Switch it off and on.
3.Press and hold F8.
4.It should bring up the Windows Advanced Options Menu as shown below. Use your arrow keys to move to Enable

If none of the above corrects the problem, consider reinstalling the video drivers. Restart in VGA mode as it is
explained before and install the latest version of Intel Embedded Graphics Drivers.

5.2.2 NETWORKING PROBLEMS
Verify the physical connection between devices. The back of each network adapter in most devices has visible lights.
These lights indicate a good connection. If you are using a hub or a switch to connect them, make sure that the hub or
the switch is turned on and that the lights are on for each client connection. This indicates a good link.
Disable XP's Internet Connection Firewall on all local area network connections including CCU1000, and remove all
firewall programs on the network. Improperly configured firewalls are the most common cause of TCP/IP problems.
Figure 55 : WINDOWS FIREWALL

Use the ping command to test connectivity with another device on the network. From the Start menu, click Run, and
type cmd in Run the text box.
Figure 56 : RUN>CMD

And then in the command line type ping <ip_address> where the ip address is any other known ip on the network.
