Supporting modern substation automation systems

The SMP automation platform built-in HMI function provides local and remote visualisation and control of all substation data points with no additional configuration effort. It also supports alarm processing and single-line diagrams, device front panel diagrams for local or remote substation operation and maintenance. The SMP automation platform built-in HMI eliminates the need for a substation PC with its expensive maintenance costs, software updates and monthly patches.

Direct access with the SMP automation platform integrated HMI

The SMP automation platform integrated HMI is at the core of the automation system. It has access to data from all connected devices. Its extensive processing power easily supports the implementation of the dashboards, single-line diagrams and device front panel diagrams required to operate the modern automation system, while performing SCADA communications.

Specifications

SMP automation platform HMI advanced features

System Dashboard

The integrated system dashboard is self-configuring and used for system health monitoring. It displays information such as processor load, internal temperature, clock synchronisation status, security status, firmware versions, installed hardware components and settings.

Communication Dashboard

This integrated dashboard is self-configuring and provides a quick overview of the status of all IED and control centre communication links.

Redundancy Dashboard (option)

This integrated dashboard is self-configuring and provides a quick overview of the redundancy statuses when two automation platforms are grouped in a redundant configuration.

Alarm Management

The integrated active alarm page displays all active alarms organised according to the user’s configuration. A configurable single alarm display appears at the bottom of most HMI pages and can be used to acknowledge alarms without having to leave the current page.

All alarms are logged to an alarm log file that can be viewed from the SMP automation platform HMI.

Diagrams

Create and load diagram pages using a dedicated PC-based application with automatic point mapping capability, a comprehensive library of power system display symbols including control objects and trends.

Device Front Panel diagrams

Create device front panel diagrams pages directly from the automation platform configuration file, SMP Config. The application allows access to the SMP Diagram Editor with automatic point mapping and animation and shape library.

Real-time data visualisation

Pre-configured points lists provide a fast and efficient means to view data values in real time, highlight changes, perform control operations and force values during commissioning. All data views provide advanced filtering and searching capabilities.

Non-operational data

In addition to real-time operational data, the SMP automation platform HMI also provides access to archive, statistics and log files with just one click. Data logs such as alarm history, sequence of events, clock synchronisation and distribution, security and many more can be securely accessed.

SMP automation platform HMI system requirements

Supported by

The SMP automation platform HMI is fully integrated into the following automation platforms: SMP 4/DP, SMP SG-4250 and
SMP SG-4260.

Web browser requirements

The web server requires a web browser, preferably Google Chrome.

Local display

If the SMP automation platform HMI is to be used locally, the selected touchscreen must support Elo TouchSystems’ drivers for Windows CE 4.2 or later, and can implement any touchscreen technology except for APR, Projected Capacitive and Multi-Touch. A standard display with a mouse is also supported.

Licence

A specific SMP automation platform licence must be purchased to use alarm management as well as diagrams and device front panel diagrams.
