CHAPTER 10 Capstone COMMUNICATIONS Connections to Third-Party Modems The following paragraphs present connection details between the microturbine and the third-party modems. Modem Power The modem can be powered from the power supply available in the UCB box (refer to Table 10-11, J16). Make sure the current rating of the modem does not exceed that of the power supply. Communications Cable The modem can be connected to the User Port or Maintenance Port of the microturbine. Typically, it is connected to the Maintenance Port. A straight-through serial cable is required in most cases for data connection between the modem and the microturbine. Modem and Microturbine Settings The microturbine port speed setting must be set to the same speed as the modem. The initial factory setting hardware configuration for the User and Maintenance Ports is 57,600 bits per second (maximum speed), 8-bit word length, no parity, one stop bit, and hardware handshake for flow control. It is recommended to use the highest speed available on the modem, not exceeding the maximum speed of the microturbine port. Upon initialization, the microturbine sends an AT&F command to restore the factory settings of the modem. If this affects the desired settings on the modem, the DSR and DCD pins can be jumpered in the serial cable connecting the modem to the microturbine. This will prevent the MT from sending the AT&F command. Some telemetry modems have different modes for data packet transmission. For the microturbine to communicate properly, the transmitted data packets should never be split. For example, some modems have a mode (for example DOX mode), by which the data packets are kept together during transmission. Some modems also offer a TCP/IP connection instead of a serial connection. These modems would require the use of Serial to Ethernet Converters, but would allow a single modem to be used to access multiple microturbines at the same site. Wireless Modems For remote microturbine installations where no landline telephone service is available, a radio or cellular modem is highly recommended for monitoring and troubleshooting the microturbine system. Several third-party cellular and radio modems have been successfully used with the Capstone microturbines. Resources for Wireless Modems A list of recommended modem vendors and model numbers that may be suitable for installation at your location is presented below. Contact your local cellular telephone service companies for a list of cell modems with coverage in your area. For telemetry and radio modems, be aware of local and FCC regulations, as well as permits required for using air radio frequencies. The usage of some radio frequencies may require special licenses. 410066 Rev C (June 2009) 10-22 Capstone reserves the right to change or modify, without notice, the design, specifications, and/or contents of this document without incurring any obligation either with respect to equipment previously sold or in the process of construction.PDF Image | CAPSTONE C200 MICROTURBINE TECHNICAL REFERENCE
