Hadron Xtorm Series
Hadron Xtorm Series is the state-of-the-art solution regarding the Remote Terminal Units (RTUs).
The series presents an ideal set of high performance features, ease of use, accurate and complete
diagnostics, modern and robust design, as well as several innovative features. Hadron Xtorm features
an intelligent and versatile architecture, offering modularity in inputs/outputs points (I/O),
redundancy options, high-speed communication protocols such as IEC 61850, and logic
implementation in accordance with IEC 61131- 3 standard. As a result, it is an ideal RTU for all
supervisory applications and control of generation, transmission and distribution of electricity
systems such as hydroelectric power plants (HPPs) and power substations.
Hadron Xtorm Series holds an advanced technology on its bus. Due to a high-speed Ethernet
interface it enables the sharing of inputs/outputs and data information within multiple controllers in
the same system. The system can be easily divided and distributed throughout the field, enabling the
use of expansion racks providing the same performance as local module. Therefore, all types of
modules can be used both on the local rack and on its expansions without restrictions. In order to
interconnect the rack expansions the user may use a simple Ethernet cable.

Innovative Features
Hadron Xtorm Series brings several innovations in system usage, supervision and maintenance.
These features were developed focusing on a new concept in automation of hydroelectric power
plants, substations and other applications of this segment. The list below shows some new features
that users will find in the Hadron Xtorm Series:
Battery Free Operation: Hadron Xtorm Series does not require any kind of
battery for memory maintenance and real time clock operation. This feature is
extremely important because it reduces the system maintenance needs and
allows the use in remote locations where maintenance can be difficult to be
performed. Besides, this feature is environmentally friendly.
Multiple Block Storage: Several kinds of memories (volatile and non-volatile
memories) are available in Hadron Xtorm Series CPUs, offering the best option for
any needs. Hadron Xtorm Series CPUs offer addressable input (%I), addressable
output (%Q), data memory and symbolic variables. For applications that require
non-volatile memory functionality, Hadron Xtorm Series bring retain addressable
memory (%Q), retain data memory, symbolic variables, persistent data memory,
program memory, source code memory, CPU file system (DOC, PDF, images, data,
among others) and memory card interface.
One Touch Diag: One Touch Diag is an exclusive feature of Hadron Xtorm Series.
With this new concept, the user can check diagnostic information of any module
present in the system directly on CPU’s graphic display with one single press in the
diagnostic switch of the respective module. OTD is a powerful diagnostic tool that
can be used offline (without supervisor or programmer), reducing maintenance and
commissioning times.
OFD –On Board Full Documentation: Hadron Xtorm Series CPUs are capable of storing the
complete project documentation in its own memory. This feature can be very convenient for backup
purposes and maintenance, since the complete information is stored in a single and reliable place.
ETD –Electronic Tag on Display: Another exclusive feature that Hadron Xtorm Series presents is
the ETD. This new functionality brings the process of checking the tag names of any I/O point or
module used in the system directly to the CPU’s graphic display. Along with this information, the
user can check the description, as well. This feature is extremely useful during maintenance and
troubleshooting procedures.

1. Introduction

Main Features
CPUs
The CPUs have several built-in functions, online programming, high memory capacity and serial
channels. These devices have a modern 32-bit processor that delivers excellent performance as well
as the integration of various functions. The CPU has Ethernet ports for programming, used in
MODBUS, DNP3 networks and embedded web server. In addition, they provide two serial interfaces
for connecting local HMIs and MODBUS networks. The CPUs have a memory card position for
hosting web pages, application source code, and firmware update among other features.
Modules
The modules present high density I/Os. Each I/O module has a display for local diagnostics, which
shows the status of I/O each point. There are also multi-functional diagnostics on the status of the
modules. All diagnostic information can also be accessed remotely by the CPU, communication
protocols or through the MasterTool Xtorm configuration tool.
High Speed Bus
Hadron Xtorm Series architecture features a state-of-the art bus based on Ethernet 100 Mbps. The
high throughput allows the updating of large amounts of inputs in a short period of time. The
modules are automatically addressed and identified avoiding eventual errors during the application
configuration and field maintenance. The bus provides special features that allow CPU redundancy in
the same rack, among other features.
Automatic addressing and identification module
Hot swapping
Serial Bus based on Ethernet 100 Mbps
Time synchronization for I/O updating or precise time stamp
Single chip hardware solution
Hot Swapping
The hot-swap feature allows the modules replacement without the system powering off. The CPU
tracks the whole process and the modules can be replaced whenever necessary.
High Availability
Hadron Xtorm Series offers several different redundancy architectures, where CPUs, Power Supplies
and Network Interfaces can be mounted in a redundant application. Through this flexibility, the
system can be adjusted from simple systems with no redundancy to complex and critical applications
where high availability is essential.
Enhanced Diagnostics
Each module contains its own diagnostics. CPUs, Network Interfaces, Power Supplies and I/O
modules show several diagnostics. Each module has a multifunctional display to report its status. In
addition, each module offers a button on its front to provide different diagnostic information for
maintenance staff. These diagnostics can be monitored through displays or via configuration tool.
Examples:
Module placed in the wrong position in the rack
No power supply
Short circuit in the outputs
No need for configuration for modules in normal operation
Tag view and I/O descriptions of the IO
IP address view

1. Introduction

Capacities
In Hadron Xtorm Series, the largest rack can hold up to 18 modules. The combination between the
chosen modules must not exceed the current limit of the rack power supply. The current consumed
by each Hadron Xtorm Series module from the bus is found in the Technical Characteristics’
document. The user may check the MasterTool Xtorm “Configuration and Consumption”
functionality in order to get information about the following items: architecture assembly with the
desired modules, current consumption of each module, total current required for the selected modules
and the value provided by the power supply. With this architecture, a single CPU can control up to
512 I/O points through only one rack. The user can expand up to 16 racks (main rack + 15 expansion
racks) using the bus expansion functionality. In this case, the maximum recorded modules of all the
expansion racks cannot exceed 80 modules.
CPU Programming & Firmware Updating
Hadron Xtorm Series allows CPU programming and firmware updating via CPU's Ethernet port. This
approach offers some features such as:
Multifunctional Ethernet port used for program share, peer to peer data exchange, third-party
device protocol at the application layer, network variable data exchange, etc.
Direct access to CPU local variables
Remote access via Ethernet interface
Firmware update via Ethernet interface

The figure above shows the graphical display placed at the upper part of the front panel. The display
indicates the whole system’s status and diagnostics, including the specific diagnostic of each module.
The graphical display also features a friendly menu that offers the user an agile way to read or set
some parameters such as internal temperature (read only), graphic display contrast, IP address for
each network interface (read only) and local time (read only).
The Hadron Xtorm Series features a graphic display notifying the status and useful information, such
as application states (Run/Stop), miniSD card status, activity on serial interfaces (RX and TX) among
others. Additionally, the Hadron Xtorm Series CPUs provide a bi-colored LED, which informs the
status and diagnostics. For more information about diagnostic LED status, see CPU Technical
Characteristics –CE123100.
The front panel displays the connection interfaces of the Hadrom Xtorm Series CPU. Table 2-1
presents the possible interface types (Ethernet, serial, memory card interface and time

Notes:
Types of tasks: Task is an object used to call POUs. A Task can be triggered by period, events or
can run in freewheeling mode. Each task can call one or more POUs.
Real Time Clock (RTC): The retention time, which is the time that the real time clock keeps
updating the date and time after the CPU goes off, is 15 days considering environments with
temperature of 25 °C. Up to the maximum product operation temperature, retain time is reduced to 10
days.
One Touch Diag (OTD): This option is available to the user only when the module is in operational
mode.
Isolation: Logic is the name for the internal circuits such as processors, memories and interfaces
with backplane rack.

Table 2-3. Specific Features
Notes:
Addressable input variables memory (%I): It is the area where all the direct addressable input
variables are assigned. An addressable variable means that the variable can be accessed directly in
the memory using the desired address. For example: %IB0, %IW100. Addressable input variables
can be used for mapping analogic or digital input points. As a reference, 8 digital input points can be
represented by one byte and 1 analogic input point can be represented by two bytes.
The Hadron Xtorm Series HX3040 CPU defines all the area of addressable input variables memory
(%I) as redundant variables, which means that the user does not need to select this area.
Addressable output variables memory (%Q): It is the area where all the addressable output
variables are assigned. An addressable variable means that the variable can be accessed directly in
the memory using the desired address. For example: %QB0, %QW100. Addressable output variables
can be used for mapping analogic or digital output points. As a reference, 8 digital output points can
be represented by one byte and 1 analogic output point can be represented by two bytes.
The Hadron Xtorm Series HX3040 CPU defines all the addressable output variables memory (%Q)
as redundant variables, which means that the user does not need to select this area.
Symbolic variables memory: It is the area where the symbolic variables are assigned. Symbolic
variables are IEC variables created in POUs and GVLs during the application development, not
addressed directly in memory. Symbolic variables can be defined as retain or persistent. In this case
the retain symbolic variables memory or the persistent symbolic variables memory area will be used,
respectively. The RTU system allocates system variables in this area, so that the available space for
the allocation of variables user-created is lower than those reported in the table. The amount of
memory occupied by these system variables depends on the project characteristics (number of
modules, drivers, etc. ...), so it is recommended to observe the available space in the MasterTool
Xtorm compilation messages.
Retain symbolic variables memory: It is the area where the retain symbolic variables are assigned.
Retain data keep their respective values even after a power on/power off cycle of the CPU. The
complete list of when retain variables keep their values and when the value is lost can be found on
the table below.

2. Technical Description
17
Persistent symbolic variable memory: It is the area where the persistent symbolic variables are
assigned. Persistent data keep their respective values even after a download of a new application into
CPU.
ATTENTION:
The declaration and use of persistent variables should be performed exclusively through the
Persistent Vars object, which may be included in the project through the tree view in Application ->
Add Object -> Persistent Variables. Do not use the expression VAR PERSISTENT in the
declaration field of POUs variables.
Besides the persistent area size displayed in the table above, these 44 bytes are reserved to store
information about the persistent variables (not available for use). The table below shows the
situations in which the persistent variables maintain or lose their values, as well as the behavior of
retain persistent and symbolic variables in given situations. “-” means that the value is lost and “X”
that the value is kept.

Table 2-4. Non-volatile Variables Behavior
As informed by MasterTool at download, the Clean All command modifies the application. If the
application is changed in a way that persistent variables had beem placed on the top of the list or had
changed their type, the value of those variables will be lost. Thus, it is recommended that any
changes to the persistent variables GVL only include adding new variables on the end of the list.
Redundant Variable Memory: Only applied to projects with CPU redundancy. It refers to the
variables that are synchronized between the redundant CPUs –addressable variables (% I and % Q)
used for I/O modules, and symbolic variables of the user program, declared in GVLs or redundant
POUs.
Program memory: It refers to the memory area that corresponds to the maximum size that can be
used to store the user application. This area is shared with the source code memory, thus the total
area is the sum of the “program memory” plus the “source code memory”.
Source code memory (backup): It is the memory area available to store a backup from the project.
In case the user decides to import the project, the MasterTool Xtorm software will search the
required information in this area. It is important to ensure that the backup project is updated to avoid
the loss of critical information. This area is shared with the program memory, thus the total area is
the sum of the “program memory” plus the “source code memory”.
User files memory: This area of the memory is designed to store files, such as doc, pdf, images, etc.,
that is, it allows data recording like a memory card.
Redundancy support (same rack): The HX3040 supports CPU redundancy when placed ate the
same rack. More information can be found in chapter 6. HX3040 Redundancy.
