Application of Neuron chip in substation automation system
Yan Liu · Telecommunications for Electric Power System · 2005
In the net of hierarchy and distributed substation synthetic automatic system, between the field bus and the nodes monitoring data must pass through the network transceiver used to drive channel media and the Neuron chip used as interfaces. Neuron chip is the kernel of LonWorks technique, it includes 3 CPU systems, and they take on the function of Open System Interconnection protocol of seven layers prescribed by ISO. The function and characteristic of the Neuron chip produced by American company are introduced in this paper. The framework of substation automation system based on field bus of LonWorks and the linking circuit of Neuron chip are described.
