1 Introduction
The OSM 15 and 27 reclosers are supplied with an RC Control Cubicle. Inside the cubicle is
the Main Processing Module (MPM) which provides the microprocessor control and operator
interface. Two versions of MPM are available:
These ports can be used for connection to SCADA systems using either DNP3, IEC60870-5-
101 or MODBUS protocols. Basic port settings can be made directly from the RC cubicle.
Some advanced settings, however, can only be configured using NOJA Power’s TELUS
software. This manual describes the wiring interfaces and setup information required to
successfully configure a remote connection using these ports.
This document should be read in conjunction with the user manual supplied with the
automatic circuit recloser and the relevant protocol definition document. Protocol documents
are available from NOJA Power on request. A reasonable level of SCADA interface
knowledge is required including a basic understanding of RS-232, RS-485 and
communication protocols.

2 Communication Ports
2.1 RS-232 Port
The RS-232 port consists of a DB9M connector located behind the escutcheon panel inside
the RC Cubicle. The RS-232 port is only available in MPM version 3E or higher. Pinout
configuration is shown below.
Note: An RS-485 to RS232/485 repeater (as appropriate) must be installed where wiring exits the cubicle to
provide impulse immunity for the RC electronics.
The RS-485 port can be wired for half-duplex or full-duplex operation. The wiring diagram
used depends on which model MPM is used in the RC Cubicle. The MPM version can be
checked from the MMI panel by navigating through the menu structure as shown below:

Outgoing calls
A typical process handling outgoing calls is as follows:
1. MPM sends the Initialization string (“Init String”). If necessary, MPM will use flow
control or the break out command “+++” to enter command mode before sending
the string.
2. MPM configures auto answer “Auto Answer On”.
3. MPM sends Off-hook command “Off Hook Command”. Not required if using GSM-
modem (leave empty in MPM SCADA settings).
4. MPM sends the dialling commands ”Pre-Dial String” and dials the first phone
number in the list.
5. After communication between modems has been established, the MPM monitors
the DCD line to determine the connection state.
6. If the call is not answered or fails, MPM dials the next configured number, cycling
to the top of the list at the end. If a single number is configured, MPM redials that
number. The retry time out is specified by “Autodial Interval”.
7. After a connection is established and no data transfer takes place for the duration
of “Inactivity Time” or the “Maximum Call Duration” timer expires (see Port
settings), the MPM issues a hang up command “Hang Up Command”.
8. Communication process is completed.
Note 1: The MPM resends the initialization string to the modem every 30 minutes while no
communication is taking place.
Note 2: The initialisation string is sent to the modem when it is powered up if the MPM detects the
DSR line has been asserted.
Many modems do not use DSR by default. In this case the initialisation string will be sent
when the 30 minute timer has expired (see note 1).
If it is required to send the initialisation string on power up – and DSR is not enabled by default
– DSR can usually be turned on by using the AT command “&S0”. For example, “AT&S0&W”
will turn DSR on and writes the command into the modem’s non-volatile memory.
Incoming calls
Modem handling for incoming calls is implemented in the MPM as follows:
If the MPM is configured to ignore DCD line, the MPM waits for a “CONNECT” string from the
modem.
If the MPM is configured to monitor DCD line, the MPM waits for DCD to be asserted before
establishing a connection.

NOJA-520
The external load power source connections are on pins 1 and 2 of the RS-485 connector
located inside the RC cubicle. See section 2.2.
The external load time is set from the “System Settings” dialog box.
To set the external load time, enter a value in minutes from 1 – 720 into the “External Load
Time (T_ext), min” text box under the UPS Settings section.
The external load can also be cycled off and back on again at regular intervals if the
connected equipment requires a regular reset.
To set the reset time enter a value in hours from 0 – 720 into the “External Load Reset Time,
hrs” text box at the bottom of the UPS Settings section.
Note: External Load Time will only work if a Modem or Radio is configured. It will not work when
using a direct connection.
Note: The “Modem is powered from external load” setting must be enabled for External Load Time
to work.

5 Protocol Setup
The OSM recloser is supplied with Modbus, DNP3 and IEC60870-5-101 communications
protocols.
The DNP3 and IEC protocols are supplied in separate MPM firmware versions. MODBUS is
available in all cases. The protocol variant is normally specified when ordering the OSM. The
firmware can be upgraded to change between IEC60870-5-101 or DNP3 if required.
Protocols are described in detail in the relevant protocol definition document. Protocol
documents are available from NOJA Power on request. Please read this section in
conjunction with the relevant document:
SCADA time is set using the drop down box at the bottom of the SCADA settings screen.
The default setting is Local. When GMT is selected the “Zone hours” box is enabled allowing
the user to select their time zone as an offset of GMT time.
Note: This feature is only available with MPM software version S02.03.05 Build 6069 and later.
5.2 Modbus
To activate the Modbus protocol select “Modbus” from the Protocol Type drop-down box.
The only setting available for modification is the network address identification of the device.
Enter the address number into the “Address” text box under the MODBUS Settings section.

NOJA-520
5.3 DNP3
To activate the DNP3 protocol select “DNP3” from the Protocol Type drop-down box.
TELUS allows the user to modify a wide range of settings including the actual DNP3
mapping using a built in tool. To configure DNP3 click the “DNP3 Settings…” button.
Link Layer, Application Layer and Unsolicited Response settings are configured on the
“General” tab. These settings are described in the DNP3 protocol implementation manual.
DNP3 mappings are configured on all the other tabs. Refer to the DNP3 protocol
implementation manual for more information.
The “Test” button checks all the DNP3 mappings on each tab (except for General) and
reports any conflicts.

NOJA-520
5.4 IEC60870-5-101
To activate the IEC60870-5-101 protocol select “IEC” from the Protocol Type drop-down box.
TELUS allows the user to modify a wide range of settings including the actual point mapping
using a built in tool. To configure IEC60870-5-101 click the “IEC Settings…” button.
Link Layer and Application Layer settings are configured on the “General settings” tab.
These settings are described in the IEC60870-5-101 protocol implementation manual.
Point mappings are configured on all the other tabs. Refer to the IEC60870-5-101 protocol
implementation manual for more information.
The “Test” button checks all the point mappings on each tab (except for General) and reports
any conflicts.
Note: The IEC60870-5-101 protocol is not available in the same MPM firmware as the DNP3 protocol. If
IEC60870-5-101 is required then a firmware upgrade is required.

In this example we will be powering the modem from the External Load power connection
located on the RS-485 port connector inside the cubicle. Using this power source permits
configuration of the time the modem continues to operate after loss of auxiliary power. See
section 3.6.

An antenna must be connected to the SMA connector on the Fastrack modem from an
antenna mounted external to the RC cubicle.
Note 1: The Modem will require a SIM card before it will work.
Note 2: The SIM card will need to have a non-transparent data number for 9600 baud. This is not the same as a
voice number. Check the type of number with your telecommunications supplier if connection difficulties are
experienced.
Note 3: The Wavecom Supreme Modem has a new feature which powers down the RS232 serial port to save
power. This must be disabled so the MPM can connect and initialise the modem correctly. Connect to the modem
using a computer and terminal program, then use the AT command “AT+WASR=0” to disable auto shutdown
mode on the RS232 port.

The Paknet PAD is supplied with a 25 way D type Comms connection. A 25 pin to 9 pin null
modem cable will be required to connect the Paknet PAD to the MPM SCADA port.
In order to configure the Paknet for the required communications settings a connection will
have to be established with a terminal using the above settings. The settings can then be
changed to match those used in the MPM configuration.
For example, to change the Paknet PAD Port configuration to 2400 baud, 8 data bits, no
parity and set the port to accept AT commands, issue the following command using a
terminal:
The Paknet PAD can now be connected to the RS232 SCADA port inside the RC Control
Cubicle.
Note 1: Please refer to the Paknet PAD manual for a detailed description of settings for this device. The example
below may not suit your application.
