CHAPTER 4: SETTING UP THE D.20 RIO
Configure time synchronization
The
Configure Time Sync
menu allows you set the D.20 RIO’s internal date and time as
well as modify options associated with time synchronization.
Set system clock
Enter the current calendar date and time of day. The value entered will be recorded in the
D.20 RIO.
Set system time zone
Enter the time zone of the D.20 RIO.
Time sync input
Configures the D.20 RIO to use SNTP to calibrate the system clock. Enter the IP address of
the SNTP server and select the polling Interval. Use a D400 as the SNTP source and the
default of 5 seconds to ensure accurate event timing.
NOTE
A D400 is the only recommended SNTP time source for a D.20 RIO since the D.20 RIO uses
custom SNTP communication with a D400 to achieve better system time accuracy. In
addition, to achieve better accuracy, there can be no more than 3 Ethernet switches, hubs
and/or routers between a D.20 RIO and D400; both the D.20 RIO and D400 must be
configured for VLAN.
Hardware
The
Hardware
menu allows you to view the serial number associated with your D.20 RIO
device.
Reset System Logs
The
Reset System Logs
menu allows you to check the size of, and delete archived and
current D.20 RIO logs.
Online HMI
The D.20 RIO includes a web-based HMI (human machine interface). The online HMI is your
window into the D.20 RIO. Through the HMI you can monitor the status of your substation
network, view data, configure peripheral devices, and change the device set-up.
Depending on how it is configured, the D.20 RIO is protected by a secure HTTPS or
standard HTTP connection that requires a user name and password.
For more information on the D.20 RIO HMI, refer to the online Help once you have logged
in.
The D.20 RIO HMI is based on the web-based programming language Java. The Web
browser must be equipped with a plug-in that supports Java. The D.20 RIO
is designed to
operate with version 6.0 (or later) of
Internet Explorer
®
. If you are using
Internet Explorer
,
version 6.0 or later you may need to install the J2SE
®
Runtime Environment (JRE). You must
have the JRE Version 6.0 (or later) installed and enabled on your PC to operate the D.20 RIO
HMI. When you log into the D.20 RIO, the device automatically detects if your Web browser
has the JRE installed. If not, the JVM Detection window gives choices for installing the JRE.
