Product overview
The D400 Substation Gateway is a secure, substation hardened and CE Marked
communications gateway that collects metering, status, event and fault report data from
intelligent electronic devices (IEDs). It summarizes the data from devices and makes it
available to a master station or host computer over standard SCADA protocols. TCP/IP
network connections are supported over the built-in 10/100 MB Ethernet interface and
dial-up (external modem required).
The D400 comes with a built-in human machine interface (HMI)/annunciator as part of the
base software. A Local HMI can be accessed through the Keyboard, Video, Mouse
interface. A full featured substation HMI is accessed using a standard Web browser (HTTP/
HTTPS) network connection. The D400 is configured "online" through a standard Web
browser.
Hardware overview
The D400 is built on a flexible, high-performance, expandable platform powered by a
650 MHz or 1.0 GHz processor. It is distinguished by the noticeable lack of a hard drive and
fan, employing instead the rugged and reliable CompactFlash mass storage and
engineered heat sink and ventilation.
The D400 supports various communication media types through a choice of input/output
(I/0) adapter cards:
• Serial(upto 8configurable 2-portadaptercards):RS-232,RS-485, Fiber Optic (Glass or
Plastic)
• Ethernet: 10/100BaseT, 100BaseFX, or 10BaseFL/100BaseSX

D400 unit to be upgraded is equipped with the secondnetwork card option.
Product identification number
The D400 comes with an ID number that identifies the supplied options and hardware
configuration of the unit. This ID number is composed of * followed by 6 alphanumeric
characters. The ID number is listed on a label located next to Slot 1 on the rear panel of the
D400.
