P Queue handling When the radio channel is experiencing heavy traffic IP packets cannot always be sent immediately They are placed in a queue waiting for the radio channel to become free See RU user manual for more information Note that the radio queue should not be set to too large val ues because the TCP IP protocol will resend IP packets if it has not received a response in time Too long IP queue will in this case just cause more duplicate packets to be sent to no useful effect Also some real time or near real time applications typically those using the UDP protocol require packets to be at most a few seconds old therefore buffering them for tens of seconds is not useful Table 7 9 Routing Internet protocol settings SATEL OY SATELLAR MANUAL PARTII CENTRAL UNIT USER GUIDE V 1 5 57 7 Settings ip Address 0 10 10 32 2 19 Ethernet Current IP Address 192 168 2 1 Change Change Queue Max Packets fie Header Compression HE J on Change Change Figure 7 18 Routing IP by CU Graphical user interface GUI LCD 58 SATEL OY SATELLAR MANUAL PARTII CENTRAL UNIT USER GUIDE V 1 5 7 Settings 7 3 3 IP Routes This category allows adding modifying and removing IP routes For examples of typical routes see chapter 6 1 Route 0 0 0 0 0 0 10 10 32 1 IP Routes i i M Figure 7 19 Routing IP Routes by CU Graphical user in

UDP to send the messages over the radio That is generally recommended since UDP uses less radio resources than TCP and is also faster But if a slower but more secure connection is desired TCP can also be used to transport the messages over the radio That can be done by simply changing Transport Protocol For Substation Data to TCP in every SATELLAR Nothing else needs to be changed either in the SATELLARs or the other devices in the network Exactly the same example also works if every SATELLAR has Modbus RTU selected as the Application Protocol The SCADA and RTUs must naturally also use Modbus RTU in that case In the example above the RTUs are connected to their respective devices through the serial port But if they were also connected to the slave devices through Ethernet then both R2 and R3 would need to change the Application Transport Protocol to TCP and also set a port that the RTUs could use No other settings need to be changed 94 SATEL OY SATELLAR MANUAL PARTII CENTRAL UNIT USER GUIDE V 1 5 8 Applications 8 Applications This chapter explains the additional applications available in the CU 8 1 Diagnostics This application is used to view graphs of measured diagnostics The following Diagnostics graphs are available Diagnostic Explanation CU RAM Usage Memory used by all running processes and kernel in the CU CU CPU Load Shows the percentage of CU CPU MCU processing power used NMS Timeout
