Annexure-A
A.0.0 Overview This Document completely details out all the communication
methods in wired and wireless media and protocols involved in the data
logger as per RDSO SPN 99/2006. This methods and protocols are totally
independent of the hardware of the data logger. The communication method
and protocols have been designed to bring out the maximum throughput
from the network.
A.0.1 Networking in Wired media A.0.1.1 Topology
Ring Network topology has been adopted in this network. In Ring
configuration the Data loggers are connected serially one to another. If ‘n’
number of Data loggers are in network then the first Data logger is connected
to the second Data logger and second Data logger to third Data logger so on
up to the ‘nth ‘ Data logger. Then the first and ‘nth ‘ Data loggers will be
connected to the Front End Processor ( FEP ) individually to make the network
as closed ring. Each Data logger is connected with other Data loggers in either
direction with 4 wire leased line modems. FEP is also connected through the
modems to the first and last Data loggers. Since this type of configuration
gives individual one to one communication between Data loggers, so event
data can be placed into network immediately and simultaneously by all the
Data loggers.

Direction II
Send event ‘x’

A.0.4 Event Packets Communication:
The event packets created in the DL will be sent immediately in both the
directions. The event packets received from one direction is retransmitted to
the other direction. These event packets maintained in the buffer till it is
acknowledged.
On failure of acknowledgement the event packets are tried again for
transmission after the time out of 3 Seconds. This is repeated and tried for
three times with the same time-out of 3 Seconds. If acknowledgment is not
received even after three trials, record will be revalidated, if validation is OK,
then it will transmits again with timeout of 3seconds and follows above
process again until acknowledgement is received. If validation of the packet is
failed, it will be discarded.
The acknowledgement for the event packets are sent for every three event
packets received or if the time between received packet crosses 300
milliseconds.
On receiving any event packet it is validated for CRC. If validity fails, no action

performed. For valid packets Data Logger will check for any duplication within
the last 100 packets. If it is a duplicate packet then acknowledgement will be
given but it will not be transmitted in the other direction. If it is a new packet
then it will be placed in the buffer, if space is available and acknowledge is
sent back. If space is not available then buffer full command is sent back.
Once the space is available then buffer free command is sent to reinitiate the
packets transmission.
Once buffer full command is received back for packet transmission then the
Data logger will set itself buffer full status and wait for a time lapse of 60
Seconds. On receiving the status of buffer free, the Data Logger will clear the
buffer full status and time lapses counts to initiate the transmission of
packets.
At FEP, the received event packets from both the directions are buffered.
These data will be sent to CMU whenever request received from CMU. Till
then it is stored in buffer.
These processes are illustrated with flow diagrams given below.

A.0.8 Networking in Wireless media:
Networking with GSM data channels or GPRS on mobile network is
recommended in the sections where OFC/Quad cable is not available. In this
type of communication all data loggers or RTUs will directly interact with
FEP/CMU in Central place.
A.0.8.1 GPRS connectivity from DL/RTU to CMU:
Typical Data loggers network through GPRS is as shown below figure.
Fig : Data logger network connectivity using GPRS modems
In this type of communication, each data logger is connected to a GPRS
modem (with GPRS activated SIM card). At central place CMU software (with
GPRS feature) is connected to internet through a Static IP.

through standard AT commands, event and command communication will be
as explained in Networking in Wired media. All data loggers can send its data
at time using GPRS, because it is multipoint communication. If
acknowledgement for transmitted event is not received within 10sec data
logger retransmits the same record again, this time period is 3seconds in
wired communication. Due to network delays involved in GPRS
communication retransmission period is increased to 10sec instead of
3seconds.
A.0.8.2 GSM connectivity from DL/RTU to CMU:
Typical Data loggers’ network through GSM is as shown below figure.
Fig : Data logger network connectivity using GSM modems
In this type of communication, a GSM modem is placed at FEP and at each
data logger, they establish connection through standard AT commands. By
using GSM data call they transfer data. Since GSM data call is point to point

communication, only one data logger shall able to transfer its data to FEP. FEP
establishes connection with one data logger and receives data over a fixed
time period or upto all available data at data logger is transferred (which one
is earlier). Once communication is established, data transmission and
receiving process is similar to wired communication. After that, disconnects
the connection with that data logger and connects to another data logger.
This process continues in cycle.
A.0.9 Commands Communication:
Commands always originated from the CMU to facilitate control actions on
any one or all the Data Logger/s in the network. Buffer full and Buffer free
commands are the only commands originated by Data Loggers for control of
event packets flow. The commands always work in the Request and Response
style.

Event packet consists of 3 blocks as shown above.
1. Block 0.
2. Block 1.
3. Block 2.
1.1.i. BLOCK 0: The size of the BLOCK 0 is 11 bytes. The structure of Block 0
iscommon for any type of event packet and it is having the following fivefields.
START:AAH and 66H are the start of the event packet. Here the Header second byte
is changed to 66 H from 55 h, and acknowledgement header second byte is changed
to 99 H from 33 h. To identify the old units connected to this data logger and also to
provide the backward compatibility [To support data logger common protocol].
ID NO: This is used for the identification of various devices like FEP, Data logger and
RTU etc.
Serial Number: It is the sequence number of packet. With this CMU will identify that
it is receiving all the packets or not. Serial no will start from 0000H, whenever a
packet is created count will be incremented by one, and will roll over to 0000H after
reaching FFFFH.

Time will be stored in the Packed Form. This is a long word size and time will be
calculated in multiples of 1/64 second. This long word will hold time for one year. The
equation to build packed time from the real time is given below.
Packed time = (Days x 24 x 60 x 60 x 64) + (Hr x 60 x 60 x 64)+(Mt x 60 x 64) + (Sec x
64). Here Days = Number of completed days till present date
Hr = Hours
Mt = Minutes
Sec = Seconds
PACKED YEAR LSB: It will represent the YEAR LSB of the packet in which year it was
created. Here year LSB means in 2012 year 12 will be the LSB and it will be stored as
0C H.
1.1. ii. BLOCK 1: Block 1 size is 9 bytes. The values in the BLOCK 1 will vary depending
upon the type of event packet. BLOCK1 is having the following fields.
0 TYPE IDENTIFIER (1 bytes).
1 DATA (8 bytes).
2 a). TYPE IDENTIFIER (TI):
This is a byte-sized value and it indicates packet type. Each packet will have a
unique type identifier. The Event records are classified into two types.
