Telemetry Protocol Gateway
Solutions
Kalki Technologies Protocol Converters and
Gateway solutions address the expanding
requirements of utility customers for scaleable,
cost-effective and rugged converters and gateways
for their sub-station modernization requirements.
Kalki Protocol Converter and Gateway Solutions
are available in the following Models:
The standard version supports one network
channel, three serial channels, and a large
software library of RTU/IED communication
protocols. It provides cost-effective support for
a wide array of protocol and data transport
applications common in the SCADA industry. These
include operating as a data concentrator, SCADA
Front End Processor (FEP), translating Protocol
"A" to Protocol "B", adding dual-port capability
to an otherwise single-ported device, providing
network access to serial-only equipment, and
transporting legacy bit-protocols over an Ethernet
Network etc.,
Designed for operation in a substation
environment, the device does not contain disk
drives. It operates on input power of 24 to 160
VDC or 110/120 VAC. The serial communication
interface supports speeds up to 115.2 KB for byte
protocols. The Ethernet port supports 10 Base-T
for the Lite / 3P/1E model and 10/100 Base-T for
the other Models. Support is available for a large
number of serial protocols, including present-day
ones such as DNP3 and IEC 870-5-101, as well as
legacy "bit" protocols such as Conitel and CDC.
The Ethernet channel can be configured for DNP 3
LAN/WAN, Modbus/TCP, and IEC 870-5-104. Support of
both master/host and remote/slave operations are
available for all protocols. Each communication
port, serial or network, can be configured for a
different protocol as well as for master or remote
operations.
Kalki's software protocol translation "engine"
is a high speed conversion environment which
support many-to-many translations at the same time
in a real-time environment. The IEC/DNP stacks are
based on TMW's protocol library product, a set of
field-proven routines that process the protocol
unique aspects of data communication messages as
well as Kalki's translation architectures. The
hardware design is based on Industry proven
industrial grade hardware platforms and real-time
operating systems.
The Kalki Technologies protocol gateway, comes
with a set of configurable board offerings to
suite various custom protocol conversion
requirements. The Custom gateways and converters
can support upto 4 Ethernet ports as well as
support optional 64 RS-232 channels.
Configuration
The Kalki Protocol Gateway Configuration Editor
is a graphical based tool for easy and convenient
generation of configuration files used by the
converter application. Device, and point
configuration information is specified through
this Windows based utility program and downloaded
through the configuration and maintenance port, or
through a network connection.
The configuration editor employs standard
Windows procedures. An entire data base
configuration can be entered and running within a
few minutes. Changes to an active database can be
downloaded and activated in seconds to minimize
the entire configuration test and development
During on-line operation of the converter
application, the configuration utility can be used
to view diagnostic and program status information.
This is a valuable diagnostic tool during initial
installation and for on-going maintenance.
Protocol Support
In the following tables, Category "S" protocols
are those that are already supported in the Kalki
Converter. Category "C" protocols are those which
must be custom implemented on Kalki Conveter.
