Communication Equipment
If this control uses a modem or radio, check that the communications device has
power. If a UtiliNet® Radio is installed with the control, the radio light should be blinking.
If it is not, check that the radio connector is plugged into the SCADA port on the back
of the control.
NOTE: Radio must be powered separately by its own ac source.
The S&C BankGuard Plus Control includes a remote communications access port.
When combined with suitable communications equipment and protocols, this permits
you to remotely monitor and control the BankGuard Plus installation.
S&C Electric Company supports the BankGuard Plus Control with a variety of communi-
cations hardware options:
• S&C SpeedNet™ Radio
• UtiliNet® Radio
• Cellnet® Radio
• Microwave Data Systems
• Modems (CDMA digital only, or Hayes™-compatible)
• Cellular transceivers
• Fiber optic transceivers
• Paging modules (for 1-way communications)
• Other (contact S&C)
DNP 3.0 is the standard protocol in the BankGuard Plus Control.
All 8-bit, asynchronous SCADA protocols (at up to 9600 BAUD) are handled directly
by control software.
Depending on the location of the control device, you may also need one or more relay
radios to enable communication between the BankGuard Plus and the SCADA master
station.
For more details, see the appropriate Communication Supplement, or contact S&C
Electric Company.
