Test Modes

IEC 61850 edition 2.1 provides standard mechanisms for testing

purposes, reducing commissioning complexity and allowing new bay

installations without affecting substation operation.

With the test modes in MU360 users can independently configure

mode and behavior of each logical devices allowing then to operate

as: On, Test, Blocked, Test/Blocked and Off.

A Safer and Cybersecure Substation

Transmitting the instrument transformers´ measurements digitally

through optical fibers eliminates the risk of inadvertent mishandling

of the current and voltage circuits and makes the relay room a safer

work environment, eliminating hazards and reducing the risk of

personnel injury.

To ensure MU360 have all this connectivity in a cybersecure way, it

has been designed according to IEC 62443 and have all capabilities

described by SL2 of this standard, including RBAC, secure boot and

signed firmware.

Reduce the Engineering Effort and Cost

The use of Process Bus with the MU360 drastically reduces the

need for trenches, ducts, glands, cable trays and copper hardwiring,

as the information is exchanged among IEDs using fiber optic cables

and ethernet switches.

Fewer cables to manage also means reduced engineering complexity

as extensive wiring schematics are replaced by standardized

version-controlled configuration files. Future reconfigurations are

automatically documented by the IED configuration tool.

Flexibility

By integrating binary inputs, outputs, and analogue connections into

one box, the MU360 offers a cost-effective solution for a multitude of

bay configurations. Up to two buses and two lines may be monitored

per box with a flexible configuration of up to 224 binary inputs or 140

binary outputs.

Reliable, Interoperable and Future Proof

The MU360 complies with the main standards for digital

substation IEC 61869-9. IEC 61850 edition 2.1 and IEC 61869

13. which guarantees its interoperability and compliance to the

requirements for being the physical to digital interface of modern

digital substations. Furthermore, measurements of each CT/VT

set may be broadcasted in protection and power quality profiles,

allowing multiple Protection, Automation and Control applications

to consume the data without needing extra footprint for acquisition.

Your bridge from physical to digital worlds:

Process Interface Unit for Digital Substations

MU360 is the Process Interface Unit (PIU) with analog and binary interfaces for full

switchyard modelling, control and digitization using IEC 61850 and IEC 61869 standards and

protocols such as Sampled Values (SV), GOOSE, MMS and PTP.

The MU360 unlocks the full value of a completely digital substation, capable to be a single

I/O interface for Protection, Automation and Control applications to bay IEDs. Limiting the

field wiring just up to the MU360 reduces project complexity by reducing cabling, terminals,

and physical connections, which combined with a complete set of logical nodes allows

design standardization on the yard. Bay level IEDs can use data from redundant MU360

units, increasing system availability. Bay level IEDs can also be quickly replaced or added

using IEC 61850 test modes as no field wiring is involved. The MU360 has the additional

benefit of improving CT performance and cost through a lower connected burden and a

reduction in the number of CT cores required for an application.

Hardware Tips and Specifications

The sole piece of information retrievable from original, manufacturer-issued manual

materials concerning this product specifically only defines this PCB’s status

as a WEMA and BPPS board assembly.

This defined name, however, does provide several clues to the knowledgeable Mark VIe drive

administrator.

The IS215 tag at the beginning of the individualized IS215WEMAH1A

product number indicates that this PCB has a special assembly version.

This is more likely than not due to this assembly’s incorporation of

the previously mentioned BPPB option board, along with the WEMA board itself

The IS215 tag present at the beginning of this part number actually has dual naming functionality

additionally asserting the IS215WEMAH1A assembly’s domestically-manufactured status

The WEMA functional acronym makes an appearance in the IS215WEMAH1A part number,

following its IS215 series tag was created with the intention of use as a convenient industry shorthand

is immediately followed by the “H1” series grouping tag in the IS215WEMAH1A product number

The H1 series grouping tag, similarly to the IS215 series tag, has dual naming functionality;

classifying the WEMA and BPPS Board Assembly as a Mark VIe board with group

one series grouping that is protected by a conformal style of PCB protective coating.

General Shipping and Revision Information

This IS215WEMAH1A printed circuit board is one that has been shrouded in relative mystery,

given its allegiance to the less-documented Mark VIe Wind Turbine Control System Series.

The Mark VIe Wind Turbine Series, while relatively new compared to many similar

General Electric legacy series printed circuit board available here at AX Control;

is quite the specialized series. The Mark VIe Wind Turbine Series was manufactured

by General Electric alternative energy shell company GE Energy,

which may be to blame for the lack of original, factory-printed instructional

materials for the IS215WEMAH1A PCB on the internet.

Unfortunately, this IS215WEMAH1A is known too for its generally-limited industrial

automation market availability, so a visual inspection of the hardware components

affixed to the base board of the IS215WEMAH1A is impossible at this time.

With that being said, a thorough, guided IS215WEMAH1A part number breakdown

can still yield quite a bit of valuable information to the prospective PCB buyer.

BENEFITS & FEATURES

• Avoid unbalanced grid loads and resulting penalties to grid operators

• Provide reactive power control on grid and traction networks

• Increase of efficiency e.g. by reduced power consumption in railway system

• Reduce complexity for rail operator by eliminating the neutral section in overhead

catenary lines

• Flexibility to connect rail grid to power grids of different providers and to grids of reduced

voltage or short-circuit capacity

• Facilitate management of brake energy by sending back braking energy from catenary

to the grid

• Increase distance between substations

An SFC provides multiple features, including independent reactive power control for both grids

and the capability to supply the railway from a weak three-phase grid with low short circuit

power, ensuring perfect voltage balancing between phases.

It synchronizes the SFC along the line using the Phasor Management Unit (PMU), such as the

GE Vernova Multilin N60. which assists in balancing power across substations. The system is

protected by protection and control relays like the GE Vernova Multilin Agile. Additionally, it

supervises and manages the entire traction power supply to optimize availability. Faults along the

line are located using Travel Wave Form Localization (TWFL) technology, enabling faster recovery

of line supply.
