1 Overview
A SCADAPack 350 controller, comprising a 5209 controller board, is a low power RTU, complete
with an integrated power supply, analog and digital I/O, serial communications, 10/100 Mb/s
Ethernet, 12Mb/s USB A and USB B ports and turbine flow meter counter inputs. Application
programs can be written in Relay Ladder Logic, IEC 61131-3 and the C language.
Several power saving features are included in the SCADAPack 350. These power saving features
include Sleep Mode, 24V-power shutdown, Ethernet port shutdown, communication port power
control, and SCADAPack Vision power down, USB disable and a reduced power mode that lowers
the CPU clock.
The SCADAPack 350 has six analog input channels. Five analog inputs are user configurable for
either 10V or 20mA operation and one is a 32V analog input. Two optional 20mA analog outputs are
available.
Eight digital I/O points, each capable of sinking 1A or monitoring a dry contact closure, provide
flexible digital input and output configurations.
Three counter inputs, two of which are designed for direct connection to the millivolt output of
turbine meter transducers, provide for a variety of connections to metering elements.
The I/O capacity of the SCADAPack 350 can be expanded using 5000 Series I/O modules. A
maximum of forty 5000 Series I/O modules may be used for a total expansion capacity of 512 digital
inputs, 512 digital outputs, 128 analog inputs, 64 analog outputs and 64 counter inputs.
This controller board can be combined with a 5606 Integrated I/O module, forming a SCADAPack
357. For information on the 5606 I/O module, refer to the
5606 User Manual.
Three serial communication ports are provided. An RS-485 port is designed for use with
multivariable transmitters. One of the two RS-232 ports is designed for use with the SCADAPack
Vision operator interface. The SCADAPack 350 supports direct wired, telephone and radio
communication. One of the RS-232 ports can be configured as a 2-wire RS-485 port.
A 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet port is provided. Power to the Ethernet port can be controlled to minimize
power consumption in power-sensitive application.
The USB interface features one USB host and one USB peripheral port, for maximum flexibility.
They can be used simultaneously, allowing connection to either upstream or downstream USB
devices, or both.
The primary microcontroller memory contains 16MB of flash ROM and 4MB of RAM. The CMOS
RAM is non-volatile (battery backed). A 4Kb EEPROM stores configuration parameters.
A real time clock/ calendar provides for time of day operations and alarms. A hardware watchdog
timer protects against application program failures.
