Applications
The fully digital ETL500 Power Line Carrier set is amultipurpose equipment designed for the transmis-sion of speech, data and protection signals overpower lines or cables. The equipment can be usedon power lines of any voltage level or length.Moreover, with the considerably enhanced transmis-sion capacity provided by the digital add-on facilityAMX500, several new applications can be identified.
■ The frequency congestion problem is considerablyrelieved, as several times more information can bepacked into the same carrier frequency band, therefore fewer RF carrier channels are needed.
■ With 64 kbps transmission rate, a cost-efficientinterconnection between digital wideband net-works can be established.
■ High-capacity PLC link is also best suited to serveas a back-up path for vital information conveyedthrough fibre-optic or microwave links.

Solution to frequency congestionBecause of the limitation of the availablePLC frequency spectrum, the extension of existing networks often becomes very difficult. An ETL500 equipped with theAMX500 may replace 2 to 4 existing ana-logue PLC links and therefore provides asolution to bottlenecks in the existingPLC network. For a given number of services, the number of PLC channels needed can be reduced significantly andtherefore frequency allocation becomeseasier. The example beside illustrates howthe frequency allocation scheme can be

made less dense if analogue carrier sets are replacedby their digital counterparts. This provides frequencyspace for the new carrier channels to be allocated.
Back-up of wideband communication linksWith the standard serial data interface according toITU-T X.21 provided by the AMX500, the system isprepared for being connected to a PDH (Plesiochro-nous Digital Hierarchy) multiplexer. This opens up avariety of options for accessing to a digital widebandnetwork.
At the outskirts of a power system communicationsnetwork there is usually low-density traffic whichdoes not justify the investment for a high-capacityfibre installation. With digital PLC equipment, a low-cost tributary link to the wideband backbone systemmay be installed as an alternative.
Digital PLC is also a favourable alternative whenthere is a need to establish stand-by routes for criti-cal services in high-capacity networks, i.e. fibre-opticlinks and microwave links.
Customer benefits
Robust designThe ETL500 concept is based on ABB’s long experi-ence in the field of power line carrier equipment.The electrical and the mechanical design make use ofthe most advanced technologies. Design principlesproven in the area of power system communicationenable the ETL500 equipment to withstand harshenvironmental conditions.
Whilst using latest processor technology, the numberof modules could be greatly reduced. The shrinkingof the hardware to a bare minimum ensures maxi-mum reliability. Furthermore, the reduced numberof different spare parts results in considerable costsavings.
The ETL505 with 5 watt power outputconsists of one 19” subrack, 6 units high,comprising the complete set of functionalmodules. Application of this type ofequipment is adequate for medium voltagepower lines of short to moderate distance.For the ETL540 / ETL580 versions, one re-spectively two more subracks of 3 unitshigh, comprising the power modules, haveto be added. The 40 watt or 80 watt poweroutput is needed for applications on lon-ger high-voltage power lines. The front picture displays the tier blockcomplement of the ETL540 together withAMX500.
Enhanced transmission capacity■ The use of a new type, adaptive, digital transmis-
sion procedure permits maximum utilization ofthe transmission capacity of a PLC channel. Thehigh-efficiency transmission is achieved by thefunctional unit AMX500, comprising signal con-verter, multiplexer and additional modules for thespeech compression.

Back-up systems for backbone channels
Investment protection■ Any PLC equipment can be retrofitted with
the AMX500 to increase capacity. This enablesexisting communication infrastructure to be usedmore efficiently without the need for high rein-vestment. For example, one AMX500 is often sufficient for the additional transfer of a fewspeech and data services; the requirement forcostly wideband equipment is dispensed with.
■ The concept allows for a seamless transition froman ETL500 equipment working in standard mode to a PLC set operated in high-capacitymode by adding the AMX500 unit housed in itsown subrack.
■ Retrofitting and upgrading an ETL500 equipmentinto one working in high-capacity mode is pos-sible any time on site.
■ Frequency allocation in an existing network willremain unaffected, i.e. there is no need to changeline traps and coupling filters.
Operational flexibility, modes of operation Unique features, such as single-step digital frequencyconversion, automatic channel equalization, con-figurable AF options, event recorder, built-in testfacilities, to name just a few, add to the operationalflexibility.
The Direct Digital Synthesis method, which is usedto generate the RF signal, results in excellent qualityand stability of the AF to RF and RF to AF conver-sions. The carrier frequency parameters detailedbelow are easily configured by means of the user-friendly MMI500.
■ Carrier frequency: Can be set in steps of 500 Hzin the frequency range from 24 to 500 kHz
■ Number of channels: 1 or 2■ Channel-bandwidth: 4 or 8 kHz■ Position of the individual sidebands: Can be
configured individually to be in the upright orinverted position
The ETL500 design is unique as it combines robustness and transparency of analogue equipmentwith the advantage of increased transmission capa-city provided by digital transmission equipment.This feature makes the equipment compatible withexisting analogue PLC systems and results in out-standing flexibility with regard to the applications.
The system may be used in various modes of opera-tion depending on the requirements, type of ser-vices, line conditions, etc. Three examples illustratepossible ways of using a given frequency band anddemonstrate the versatility of the ETL500 system.
Example 1:When using ETL500 single channel equipment thecapacity can considerably be enhanced by adding the AMX500 unit. A possible configuration is illustrated below. This arrangement permits a datachannel with a transmission rate of 4800 bps to be superimposed above the speech channel, withinwhich the tones for protection signalling are allo-cated.

Example 2:The illustration above depicts an ETL500 doublechannel equipment, occupying 8 kHz bandwidth.With this configuration one channel may be ex-ploited for operational speech combined with tele-protection and low-speed data for SCADA applica-tion, whilst the other channel may convey high-speed data and several compressed speech channels.
Example 3:The illustration above on the right side shows anETL500 single channel equipment requiring 8 kHzband, but configured to work in high-speed modeusing the entire bandwidth. With this configurationa transmission rate up to 64 kHz may be obtainedunder favourable line conditions. A possible sub-division of the available capacity among differentservices may be as follows:
2 speech channels1 data channels 19.2 kbps synchronous3 data channels 2.4 kbps asynchronous.
Optimum performance of the teleprotection serviceis ensured by the NSD550 which operates entirelyindependent of the AMX500 unit.
Easy commissioning, testing, supervision, and maintenanceAll operating states are monitored, recorded, and evaluated by the CPU module P4LQ, which alsotakes care of the frequency up-and-down conversion.The ETL500 comes with the software MMI500,which is a Windows® based program running onany standard PC.
When a serial port of the PC is connected to theSUB-D connector on the frontplate of the moduleP4LQ, the MMI500 implements a man-machine-interface (MMI) for the ETL500, supporting com-missioning, testing, troubleshooting, supervision,and maintenance.
In addition to the alarms displayed by the MMI500,LEDs on the front panel light up when an alarm isactivated. Appropriate actions on the module arestarted and there are three switchover relay contactsavailable for issuing an alarm. Eight more relaycontacts can be provided with the optional alarmrelay module R1BC. Two alarm criteria which can beassociated with these contacts may be specified and

Where required, the modemNSK5 is available for transferring low-speed data for SCADA applications. Also required is the lineinterface via which the signal exchange takes placefrom and to the coupling unit.
The degree of utilization of the channel capacity canbe considerably increased by using the digital multi-plexer / signal converter AMX500.
An essential feature is the fact that mission criticalservices can be conducted via modules operatedseparately from the AMX500 unit. The rigorousdemands of these critical services with respect totransmission time and interference can be satisfiedexcellently by this separation.
The configuration and monitoring of the systemtakes place by PC via the diagnostic interface.

channel equalizing■ Serial interface for PC connection for the equip-
ment configuration and monitoring

Application of this type of equipment is adequatefor medium voltage power lines of short tomoderate distance.
■ ETL540 / ETL580 with 40 watt and 80 watt output power 40 watt or 80 watt output power is needed forapplications on long high-voltage power lines.

Integrated teleprotection equipment NSD550
GeneralThe NSD550 teleprotection equipment is used forthe transmission of protection commands in high-voltage networks.
The equipment is used exclusively together withtype ETL500 PLC equipment. It is always assignedto the first channel in case of a dual-channel PLC.The NSD550 signals are processed completely digi-tally on the RF-converter module P4LQ of the basicETL500 equipment.
The NSD550 comprises at least one relay inter-face module type G4AI for command transmission.As contact multipliers or to exploit all possible NSD550 functions, 1 or 2 additional interface modules can be plugged in the channel subrack.
Optimized algorithms for PLC channelsUsing digital signal processing technologies, theNSD550 meets the stringent requirements for com-mand transmission over PLC links even under themost adverse channel conditions. Algorithms opti-mized for PLC channels ensure dependable andsecure operation and short transmission delays.
Remote Supervision & ConfigurationConfiguration, supervision and adapting to the specific requirements is effected by means of the MMI500 user interface.
Event recorder and trip counterIntegrated trip counters for each command and anevent recorder which stores more than 2000 com-mand start/stop and alarm events support trouble-shooting and investigations in case of faults or abnormal conditions in the high-voltage network. The events are stored with time stamp in a non-volatile memory. The event recorder can be synchro-nized to an external GPS receiver for accurate time
stamping. The display of events is possible in textand graphic views on the MMI500.
ApplicationsNSD550 meets all requirements for blocking, permissive and direct tripping.
Depending on the application requirements, NSD550 can transmit up to four commands withtwo different modes of operation, i.e. either 2 per-missive + 2 direct trip, or 3 permissive + 1 directtrip commands. Four commands permit, for exam-ple, the protection of dual-circuit lines and directtripping for reactor or breaker failure protection.
NSD550 requires no extra bandwidth because ituses the pilot of the PLC as a guard signal and thespeech band as command channel.
Integrated data modem NSK5
GeneralThe integrated data modem NSK5 is used mainlyfor the transfer of low-speed data with SCADAsystems. The module is plugged in to the channelsubrack like any other AF-interface card.
All functions are incorporated on a single card. Thispermits especially low-cost solutions when buildingup telecontrol networks. Several modems can beplugged in where necessary.
Principal features■ Full programmability; baud rate, transmit and
receive frequencies, also Tx/Rx levels are simpleto set via switches and jumpers.
■ All channels and baud rates corresponding toITU-T R.35, R.37. R.38A and R.38B are supported.
■ Operation is also possible with the followingchannels: maximum three 600 baud channels,
9
one 1200 baud channel for frequencies above 2000 Hz (speech) or in combination with otherlow-speed data channels; one 1200 baud channel corresponding to ITU-T V.23 or one 2400 baudchannel.
■ Distortion of the characteristic is minimized by ahelp module for synchronization, a data regenera-tor and equalizer.
■ A serial data interface corresponding to ITU-TV.24, V.28, and V.10 is available with front accessfor test purposes.
■ The modem is electrically isolated from the ETL500 modules.
■ A local loop test is possible. It can be initializedeither via the test switch on the front panel or thecorresponding interface line.
■ The bit error rate can be tested over the total linelength.
Multiplexer/converter unit AMX500
In an endeavour to enhance the transmission capacity of the available PLC frequency spectrum, a great deal of effort has been spent investigatingmore efficient signalling methods for power line carrier application.
PLC equipment ETL500 with theoptional add-on unit AMX500using techniques such as low bit-rate speech coding combinedwith time domain multiplexingand digital modulation can pro-vide several times the transmis-sion capacity per link under good line conditions, comparedto traditional PLC circuits.
Principal features■ Transmission speed is automatically adjusted to
the prevailing channel conditions in order toensure maximum system availability, e.g. if datatransmission at a set speed suffers from insuffi-cient quality because of poor line conditions, fall-back to an appropriate lower transmission ratewill restore the quality of service to the levelrequired.
■ Robust, bandwidth-efficient digital modulation■ Adaptive adjustment to the channel characteristics■ Adjustable bandwidth
The bandwidth of the transmission system can be individually set between 1000 and 7300 Hz for each application. 8 different bandwidths areavailable.
■ Flexible data rate programmingThe data rate of the AMX500 is programmableover the range 1200 bps to 64 kbps. The fineadjustment facility of the transmission rate per-mits optimal capacity utilization of the presentlyavailable bandwidth. The illustration below showsan example of bit rate utilization possibilities with 4 kHz gross bandwidth of the transmissionchannel.

The following diagram is for supporting the planning of PLC links with digital transmission, i.e. when using the AMX500. Represented is therelation between bit rate and necessary signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for a given maximum bit errorrate and bandwidth. The bit rates shown are for thenet bandwidths 1.4 / 1.7 / 2.1 / 3.3 and 7.0 kHz andfor a bit error rate (BER) of 10 -6.
The curves are based on a large number of field andsimulation tests.
