Section 1
Introduction and Specifications
Introduction
The SEL-2032 Communications Processor provides many special features
needed in today’s substations to communicate with a variety of
microprocessor-based devices. The SEL-2032 can function as a simple, but
intelligent, port switch; or it can provide sophisticated communication and
data handling capability required for advanced substation integration projects.
This section provides the following:
➤Introduction to the SEL-2032 and information on features,
applications, and specifications.
➤Introduction to the terminology, concepts, and operation of
integrated substations and communications processors.
Applications
The functions of the SEL-2032 make it extremely versatile and powerful. You
can combine basic functions of the SEL-2032 to meet the requirements of
your application. Often the cost of the SEL-2032 is justified based on a single
major function, and other features add additional value to your application.
Several of the most popular applications are listed below.
Substation
Integrator
The communication processing and database capability of the SEL-2032 are
designed to collect and store data from numerous devices, parse it into useful
pieces, and distribute just the needed data to other devices or systems. This is
the fundamental purpose of substation integration, making the SEL-2032 a
natural choice for this application. Its networking capabilities allow it to be the
communication network for small substation integration projects, or it can
serve as a subnetwork integrator with one or more ties to a larger substation
network.
SCADA and
HMI Interface
The SEL-2032 can be interfaced with a variety of devices, including RTUs
and HMIs. The SEL-2032 can serve as a data concentrator, to be polled by a
local RTU, or it can be connected to a dedicated SCADA communication
circuit and polled by a central device.

SEL-2032 Communications Processor Instruction Manual Date Code 20120126
Introduction and Specifications
Substation Integration
Intelligent
Port Switch
Flexible communications parameters make the SEL-2032 a great choice for
almost any port switching application. The multitasking/multiuser capability
and data handling capability make the SEL-2032 more of a self-contained
network hub than a port switch, but it is still an economical choice for port
switching applications. The time synchronization capabilities of the SEL-2032
add to its value in this application.
Time
Synchronization
Source
The SEL-2032 transmits a demodulated IRIG-B signal on Ports 1–16. You can
connect this signal to SEL and non-SEL devices. The SEL-2810 multiplexes
the IRIG-B signal on the single fiber pair along with other communications.
The source for the transmitted IRIG-B signal is either the IRIG-B input to the
SEL-2032 or the SEL-2032 internal clock. You can time synchronize the
SEL-2032 clock in several different ways.
You can set the SEL-2032 clock using the TIME and DATE commands. A
battery maintains the clock operation during loss of power to the SEL-2032.
You can also synchronize the SEL-2032 via a modulated or demodulated
IRIG-B signal input on the BNC connector labeled IRIG-B IN. There is also a
jumper that allows you to configure the IRIG-B pins on Port 15 as a
demodulated IRIG-B input (see Jumper Settings on page 2.1).
You can also use time synchronization through serial protocols such as DNP3
and hardware protocol cards (see Section 9: Protocols) or the instruction
manual for your protocol card for more information.
Substation Integration
The term integration is defined as the process of blending disparate parts into
a unified whole. In a substation environment this means providing
communications pathways so that the individual IEDs (Intelligent Electronic
Devices) function as a single substation monitoring, control, protection, and
automation system.
Since SEL introduced the first microprocessor-based protective relay as a
standard product to substation engineers, devices within the substation have
become more and more intelligent. Substation IEDs include protective relays,
battery chargers, equipment monitors, weather stations, and many other
devices. IEDs now perform multiple functions and can contain measurement
data, status, control, settings, historical information, and alarms. Each IED
often performs the functions of several devices within a substation, but for a
portion of the substation associated with a single bay or circuit breaker. A
function that is performed by many devices each working on a small part of
the whole is called a distributed function.
Substation integration is the process of providing communication and other
connections between IEDs to take advantage of distributed functions that the
IEDs offer. The paragraphs below describe distributed functions that are
common in integrated substations. Figure 1.1 is a diagram of a typical
integrated substation. The IEDs are integrated into a system by the SEL-2032.

Distributed
Functions
Before microprocessor-based IEDs, engineers used large single-function
devices to perform specific substation monitoring, control, and data collection
tasks for the entire substation. For example, if you wanted to collect fault
event records (oscillography of fault conditions observed from the substation),
you installed a fault recorder with many analog input channels. The fault
recorder required additional input wiring and added significantly to the
expense of the protection system.
The expense of dedicated fault recorders made it prohibitive to record faults in
typical distribution substations. While fault recorders are still used in very
demanding transmission substation applications, the fault recording
capabilities of microprocessor-based protective relays are rapidly approaching
those of separate fault recorders. Fault recording in inexpensive distribution
relays allows a new level of fault analysis capability throughout the utility.
Another example of a distributed function is the collection of status and
measurement data from remote control or SCADA (Supervisory
Communications and Data Acquisition). SCADA systems in the past have
been constructed as shown in Figure 1.2 using an MTU (Master Terminal
Unit) and many RTUs (Remote Terminal Units).

Introduction and Specifications
Substation Integration
Figure 1.2 Traditional SCADA System
The RTU is the data collection and control interface for the local station.
Traditionally, data collection and control were performed by connecting
inputs and outputs on the RTU to station equipment. This wiring is complex,
expensive, and makes substations more expensive to build and test and less
reliable.
Multifunction IEDs require inputs and outputs in order to perform their
primary function. For example, relays require connections to PTs (potential
transformers) and CTs (current transformers) to observe the power system and
perform protection functions. The RTU requires the same voltages and
currents in order to display analog measurements to system operators. The
RTU also must collect status data for the circuit breaker and other substation
equipment monitored by the relays.
It is possible to replace the input and output wiring to the RTU with data
communications to the IEDs as shown in Figure 1.3.
Figure 1.3 IEDs Communicating With RTU
One might be tempted to describe the system in Figure 1.3 as an integrated
substation, but it is only an example of a distributed RTU system. There are
more distributed functions that can be integrated as well as other functions that
integrated substations perform.
