6. DESIGN AND STRUCTURE OF THE
u REG
SYSTEM
u REG
system is modular. The modular design applies both to electronic hardware, used to
assemble a specific device, but also to its enclosure and functional software. The device
software has separate layers which carry out distinctly distinguished tasks.
u REG
is fully reprogrammable (also remotely); the user is not required to interfere in device
internals.
6.1. HARDWARE
Electronic circuits in the
u REG
system are divided into 3 groups:

motherboard ( MB ) placed in the device enclosure;

module boards arranged in slots on the motherboard;

operator panel board (integrated, in remote configuration or optional).

Fig. 6.1.1. Structure of u REG hardware.
The enclosure and the motherboard ( MB ) are equipped with 7 slots numbered from 0 to 6 for
module boards. In special design versions of the
u REG
unit, the mother board ( MB ) can be
developed using an expander by 3 or 7 additional slots .
Module slots on the motherboard are coded (and cannot be mistaken), i.e. their positions and
sized determine their dedicated modules.
Mounting arrangement (mounted behind or in front of the panel) envisages 3 enclosure
versions to be installed horizontally (H) or vertically (V). Small dimensions of the enclosure
make it possible to place
u REG
modules practically in all commonly used chambers in MV and
HV substations. Dimensions and installation data for all versions are shown in the figure in
section
“Installation data” .
