Product Overview
The D400 Substation Data Manager is a secure, substation hardened and CE Marked
communications gateway that polls metering, status, event and fault report data from
intelligent electronic devices (IEDs). It summarizes the data from IEDs and makes it
available to a master station or host computer over standard SCADA protocols. TCP/IP
network connections are supported over the built-in 10/100 MB Ethernet interface and a
dedicated Modem port (external modem required).
The D400 comes with a built-in human machine interface (HMI)/annunciator as part of
the base software - no external software or licensing is required to operate the D400. The
substation HMI can be accessed locally through the Keyboard, Video, Monitor interface,
or remotely over a standard secure Web browser (HTTPS) connection.

Changing Card Settings
The communication cards are factory installed with default settings. You may want to
adjust individual card settings to work with your specific system set up. The
communication cards are hot swappable -- this means you do not have to power down
the D400 unit to remove and install the communication cards.
» To change the settings on a communication card:
1. At the rear panel of the D400, using a flathead or Phillips screwdriver loosen (but
don’t completely remove) the two screws from the top and bottom of the
communication card.
2. Using the flathead screwdriver, gently pry the top of the card from the slot and
remove it from the chassis.
3. Refer to the instructions in the following sections to make any required changes to
the switch settings on the card.
Tip: Use a small flathead screwdriver (same as used to remove the communication
card screws) to change switch positions.
4. Slide the card into the same slot you removed it from, and tighten the two screws.
CAUTION: For proper transient protection, the recommended tool torque settings for
communication card screws are 2.6 in-lb [0.294 Nm].

RS-485 Connections
The D400 accepts connections to RS-485 2-wire and 4-wire type devices through the RS-
485 Adapter. The RS-485 Adapter (GE Part No. 520-0208) plugs into any serial
communication slot (slots 1 through 8) on the D400. It contains two independently
isolated RS-485 channels on a single terminal block: Channel 1 on terminals TB1-1
through TB1-5 and Channel 2 on terminals TB1-6 through TB1-10.
Cabling Requirements
The recommended total maximum length for RS-485 cables is 4000 ft [1300 m] when
operating at 115 kbps. Refer to the manual of the connecting device for its recommended
maximum cable length.
The cables must be shielded and the shield of each RS-485 cable section should be
grounded at one end only. This prevents circulating currents and can reduce surge-
induced current on long communication lines.
2-Wire Connections
» To connect RS-485 2-wire type devices to the RS-485 Adapter, use the
following wiring connection:
Note: Before wiring devices, ensure that the RS-485 Adapter is configured to 2-wire
mode (see section “3.4 RS-485 Adapter”).
