Vendor shall ensure that equipment and required practices conform to Quality Assurance
Standards ISO 9001. Adhere to Modem standard BELL CCITT.
The RTU shall not be affected by operation of microwave and mobile radio equipment per
RFI/EMI Radiation Specification FCC Part 15. Nor should RTU emit radio interference
contrary to Department of Communication Standards as pertaining to digital apparatus
(ICES-003-1991).
Adhere to Standards for SCADA system ANSI C37.1-1979.
Adheres to Surge Withstand Capability (SWC) ANSI C37.90a-1974/78 and IEEE 4721974/78; and SWC Fast Transient ANSI C37 90 1-1989; and IEC -255 - 4.
Adhere to Communication Equipment Interface and handshaking standard EIA RS232, 422
and 485; Definition, Specification, and Analysis of Systems used for Supervisory Control,
Data Acquisition, and Automatic Control.
Qualifying Requirements:
2.1
2.2
Vendor is required to submit all the relevant test reports carried out for
RTU and should submit its copy, which is duly approved by nominated testing
agencies.
Technically accepted vendor will have to give demonstration of their RTU
product with the GE SCADA system at our control center for all the features as
desired.
Other Requirements:
As the RTU communication involves Radio Link it should comply communication
standards and the frequency used in the Radio Link is from the free band allocated by
Wireless Planning and Coordination Wing, Ministry of Communications and
Information Technology, Govt. Of India, for the equipments used in the Radio Link
and must be exempted from the licensing requirement, i.e. no operating license will be
required.

Each input shall have protection and filtering to provide protection against voltage spikes
and residual current at 50 Hz, 0.1 ma (peak-to-peak). Overload of up to 50% of the input
shall not sustain any failures to the input.
The RTU shall make all appropriate signal level conversion and conditioning to allow full
utilization of Analog inputs and meaningful reasonability checking. Including signal
conditioning components, the input impedance shall not be greater than 250. Input scaling
shall allow for 20% over range.
4.0
The digital status input interface shall be capable of accepting isolated wet or dry contact
status inputs. The Contractor shall supply necessary sensing voltage, current limiting,
optical isolation, and debounce filtering independently for each digital status input. The
Contractor supplied sensing volt shall not exceed 48 Vdc. The sensing voltage source shall
be isolated from that of the RTUs logic power such that any noise or a short circuit across
the sensing supplys output terminals would not disrupt the RTU operation other than the
shorted digital status input.1 ms resolution for time tagged messages is required for fault
analysis.
The RTU shall store all status changed for retrieval by the master stations. For
communication delays or short-term failure of communication with a master station, the
RTU shall store a minimum of 2000 status of change events. The RTU shall report any
overflow of this status-changed buffer to the master stations.
It shall be possible to configure each status input for one of the following functions:
1. Single status input
2. Change of state
3. Sequence of event (SOE) time tagging with resolution of 1 ms.
4. The SOE buffer capability to store 1024 events.
5. Three-level programmable software filtering for debounces and chatters.
6. Pulse accumulator; one of Form A, B, or C at 50 Hz maximum input rate 16 bit binary
counter)
7. Alarm input
8. Trip/block protection signaling.
9. Hysteresis to prevent false state changes due to noise or other conditions.
4.0.1 Two-State Devices
All switching devices (breakers) shall be supported by a dual-contact status indication.
Breakers with reclosing capability shall also be supported with momentary change
detection (MCD). All other status indications shall be two-stage single-contact inputs
without MCD. Single-contact two-state status point inputs will be from a single normally
open (NO) or normally closed (NC) contact. Dual-contact two-state status point inputs will
be from two complementary contacts (one NO and one NC). A switching device status is
valid only when one contact is closed and the other contact is open. Invalid states shall be
reported when both contacts are open or both contacts are closed.
Over voltage and under voltage protection shall be provided within the RTU power supply
to prevent the RTU internal logic from being damaged as a result of a component failure in
the power supply and to prevent the RTU internal logic from becoming unstable and
causing mal-operation as a result of voltage fluctuations.
GENERAL TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
6.0
Noise Level
The audible nose generated by the RTU equipment shall not exceed 50 dbA one meter from
the enclosure.
7.0 Climatic / Environmental Requirements
The RTUs will be installed in control buildings without temperature or humidity control. The
RTUs shall be capable of operating in ambient temperatures from 5 to + 55 0 C and
relative humidity from 5 to 95%, non-condensing with rate of temperature change of 200
C/hour.
8.0
Maintainability
The RTU design shall facilitate isolation and correction of all failures. The features which
promote rapid problem detection, isolation and replacement of failed components, shall be
provided as following:
(a) Self-diagnostic capabilities within each RTU, which can be initiated at the RTU site.
(b) On-line error detection capabilities within the RTU and detailed reporting to the
connected master stations of detected errors.
(c) Local indication of major RTU failures.
9.0
