Introduction | 13 2. Introduction About This Manual What It Covers This user manual describes how to install and configure an Aprisa SR point-to-multipoint digital radio network. It specifically documents an Aprisa SR radio running system software version 1.3.4. It is recommended that you read the relevant sections of this manual before installing or operating the radios.
14 | Introduction Aprisa SR Accessory Kit The accessory kit contains the following items: Aprisa SR Quick Start Guide Aprisa SR CD Management Cable USB Cable USB A to USB micro B, 1m Aprisa SR CD Contents The Aprisa SR CD contains the following: Software The latest version of the radio software (see ‘Radio Software Upgrade’ on page 140). USB Serial Driver. Web browsers - Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer are included for your convenience.
About the Radio | 15 3. About the Radio The 4RF Aprisa SR Radio The 4RF Aprisa SR is a point-to-multipoint digital radio providing secure narrowband wireless data connectivity for SCADA, infrastructure and telemetry applications. The radios carry a combination of serial packet data and Ethernet data between the Base Station, Repeater Stations and Remote Stations. The Aprisa SR is configurable as a point-to-multipoint Base Station, a Remote Station or a Repeater Station.
16 | About the Radio Product Overview Network Coverage and Capacity In a simple point-to-multipoint network, an Aprisa SR, configured as a Base Station, will communicate with multiple remote units in a given coverage area. With a link range of up to 60 km a typical deployment will have 30 – 50 Remote Stations attached to the Base Station. However, geographic features, such as hills, mountains, trees and foliage, or other path obstructions, such as buildings, tend to limit radio coverage.
About the Radio | 17 Repeater Messaging The Aprisa SR uses a routed protocol throughout the network whereby messages contain source and destination addresses. Upon registration, the radios populate an internal neighbor table to identify the radios in the network. The Remote Stations will register with a Base Station, or a repeater, and the repeater registers with a Base Station. In networks with a repeater, the repeater must register with the Base Station before the remotes can register with the repeater.
18 | About the Radio Product Features Functions Point-to-Point (PTP) or Point-to-Multipoint (PMP) operation half duplex. Licensed frequency bands: VHF 136-174 MHz UHF 400-470 MHz Channel sizes: 12.5 kHz 25 kHz Typical deployment of 30 Remote Stations from one Base Station with a practical limit of a few hundred Remote Stations. Dual antenna port option for external duplexers or filters (half duplex operation) Ethernet data interface plus RS-232 asynchronous data interface.
About the Radio | 19 Architecture Product Operation There are three components to the wireless interface: the Physical Layer (PHY), the Data Link Layer (DLL) and the Network Layer. These three layers are required to transport data across the wireless channel in the Point-to-Multipoint (PMP) configuration. The Aprisa SR DLL is largely based on the 802.15.4 MAC layer using a proprietary implementation.
20 | About the Radio Access Request This scheme is particularly suited to digital SCADA systems where all data flows through the base station. In this case it is important that the base station has contention-free access as it is involved in every transaction. The channel access scheme assigns the base station as the channel access arbitrator and therefore inherently it has contention-free access to the channel.
About the Radio | 21 Network Layer Packet Routing Packet routing is realized in the Aprisa SR by adding a network address header to the packet. This contains source and destination addresses. For the Network Layer, there are 2 addresses, the address of the originating radio and the address of the terminating radio (i.e. end to end network). This is required for routing packets across multiple hops e.g. PMP with repeaters.
22 | About the Radio Security The Aprisa SR provides security features to implement the key recommendations for industrial control systems. The security provided builds upon the best in class from multiple standards bodies, including: IEC/TR 62443 (TC65) ‘Industrial Communications Networks – Network and System Security’. IEC/TS 62351 (TC57) ‘Power System Control and Associated Communications – Data and Communication Security’.
About the Radio | 23 Interfaces Antenna Interface Single Antenna Option 1 x TNC, 50 ohm, female connector Dual Antenna Port Option 2 x TNC, 50 ohm, female connectors Ethernet Interface 2 x ports 10/100 base-T Ethernet layer 2 switch using RJ-45. Used for Ethernet user traffic and product management. USB Interfaces 1 x Management Port using USB micro type B connector. Used for product configuration with the Command Line Interface (CLI). 1 x Host Port using USB standard type A connector.
24 | About the Radio Front Panel Connections All connections to the radio are made on the front panel. The functions of the connectors are (from left to right): Designator Description A1 / A2 The A1, A2 are alarm connections are used in the Protected Station. 10 - 30 VDC; 3A +10 to +30 VDC (negative ground) DC power input using Phoenix Contact 4 pin male screw fitting connector. AC/DC and DC/DC power supplies are available as accessories (see ‘External Power Supplies’ on page 54).
About the Radio | 25 LED Display Panel The Aprisa SR has an LED Display panel which provides on-site alarms / diagnostics without the need for PC.
26 | About the Radio Test Mode Remote Station and Repeater Station radios have a Test Mode which presents a real time visual display of the RSSI on the LED Display panel. This can be used to adjust the antenna for optimum signal strength (see ‘Maintenance > Test Mode’ on page 115 for Test Mode options). To enter Test Mode, press and hold the ENTER button on the radio LED panel until all the LEDs flash green (about 3 - 5 seconds). Note: The response time is variable and can be up to 5 seconds.
Product Options | 27 4. Product Options Dual Antenna Port The standard Aprisa SR uses a one or two frequency ½ duplex transmission mode which eliminates the need for a duplexer. However, a dual antenna port option is available for separate transmit and receive antenna connection to support external duplexers or filters. The transmission remains half duplex.
28 | Product Options Protected Station The Aprisa SR Protected Station provides radio and user interface protection for Aprisa SR radios when configured as a Base Station. The RF ports and interface ports from two standard Aprisa SR Radios are switched to the standby radio if there is a failure in the active radio.
Product Options | 29 Configuration Management The active and standby radios are separately managed by SuperVisor via the Local and Partner IP addresses. Changes to the configuration in one radio must be reflected in the partner radio. Changes to the Network Table are automatically synchronized from the active radio to the standby radio but the Network Table is only visible on the active radio. This synchronization does not occur if the Hardware Manual Lock is active.
30 | Product Options Hardware Manual Lock The Hardware Manual Lock switch on the Protection Switch provides a manual override of the active / standby radio. When this lock is activated, the selected radio (A or B) becomes the active radio regardless of the Software Manual Lock and the current switching or block criteria. When the lock is deactivated (set to the Auto position), the protection will become automatic and switching will be governed by normal switching and blocking criteria.
Product Options | 31 Installation Mounting The Aprisa SR Protected Station is designed to mount in a standard 19 inch rack. Cabling The Aprisa SR Protected Station is delivered pre-cabled with power, interface, management and RF cables. The set of interconnect cables is available as a spare part (see ‘Spares’ on page 34). Power A +10.5 to +30 V DC external power source must be connected to both the A and B Phoenix Contact 2 pin male power connectors. The maximum combined power consumption is 35 Watts.
32 | Product Options Maintenance Changing the Protected Station IP Addresses To change the IP address of a Protected Station radio: 1. Using the Hardware Manual Lock switch, force the primary radio to active. 2. Change the IP address of either or both radios. 3. Change the Partner IP address of either or both radios. 4. Set the Hardware Manual Lock switch to the Auto position. Protected Station Software Upgrade The Protected Station software upgrade can be achieved without disruption to traffic.
Product Options | 33 Replacing a Protected Station Faulty Radio Replacing a faulty radio in a Protected Station can be achieved without disruption to traffic. Assuming that the primary radio is active and the secondary radio is faulty and needs replacement: 1. Ensure the replacement radio has the same version of software installed as the primary radio. If necessary, upgrade the software in the replacement radio. 2. Set the RF Interface MAC Address (see ‘Maintenance > Advanced’ on page 121).
34 | Product Options Spares The Aprisa SR Protection Switch is available as a spare part. This spare includes the protection switch and 2 sets of Protection Switch interconnect cables (one set is 7 cables). Part Number Part Description APSP-SPSW 4RF Spare, Aprisa SR, Protection Switch The set of interconnect cables is available as a spare part (set of 7 cables).
Product Options | 35 Data Driven Protected Station The Aprisa SR Data Driven Protected Station provides radio and RS-232 serial port user interface protection for Aprisa SR radios when configured as a Base Station.
36 | Product Options Switch Over The active radio is determined explicitly by which radio receives data on its RS-232 serial port. The switching and blocking criteria used for the standard Protected Station do not apply. This means that events and alarms on the unit are not used as switching criteria. Configuration Management The active and standby radios are separately managed by SuperVisor via the Local and Partner IP addresses.
Product Options | 37 Installation Mounting The Aprisa SR Data Driven Protected Station is designed to mount in a standard 19” rack on two 1U rack mounting shelves.
