1 Introduction

1.1 Overview

The aim of this document is to describe the ICx DR Gateway required for extracting
Disturbance record data from DR data source and transferring DR files over Network
or Internet.

1.2 ICx DR Gateway Introduction

ICx DR Gateway is a flexible and most advanced solution for gathering DR data
using diverse and different communication standards protocols. The Gateway is a
smart customer driven solution which combines flexibility and technology providing
following features:

Reliable DR data extraction over the network from relays.
Local Storage / FTP of the extracted DR files to the configured FTP servers.
Easy and user friendly configuration of the Gateway.

The DR Gateway communicates with the relays over the network. It uses different
communication standards to communicate with different types of relays. The ICx DR
Gateway communicates with four different makes of relays:
GE
Siemens
Areva
ABB
SEL

The DR gateway keeps track of the fault numbers of disturbance records in the relays.
Upon creation of a new DR in the relay the fault number changes and the SMS & DR
gateway fetches the newly created disturbance record (.cfg & .dat files) in
COMTRADE format from the relay.

For different relays the DR gateway uses different technologies to fetch the DR data.
The DR gateway uses IEC 61850 protocol to fetch the DR files from Siemens, Areva
and ABB relays. For GE relay the DR Gateway fetches the DR files using Trivial
File Transfer Protocol (TFTP).

The SMS & DR Gateway then zips the extracted files and stores the files on Local
Disk or san FTP the files on Network or over Internet.
