The SMP DA-3050 family

The SMP Distribution automation platform family includes the Linux-based SMP DA-3050 automation platform, a robust, powerful, and extremely flexible platform that is available in four (4) models.

All models share all software capabilities and security features, limited only by the factory installed I/O configurations, providing reduced learning time and a simplified migration path between models.  New protocols and features will be added in future releases.

The SMP DA-3050 automation platform is a new product. It does not support all described features yet.  We will include the missing features (*) in the foreseeable future.

Common key characteristics of all models (controller-based features):

• Compact shape, can be installed directly in relay enclosure or cabinet
• Rack-, DIN rail- and wall-mountable
• Power supply: Nominal voltages: 24, 48 Vdc
• Operate over a broad temperature range (-40 °F to +167 °F, -40 °C to 75 °C)
• No moving parts
• 2 serial ports: 2-wire RS 232/485 support (multidrop*)
• 3 Ethernet ports (1 SFP-based metallic or optical, 2 metallic behind switch)
• 1 x 24-48 Vdc DI (follows input supply voltage)
• 1 x +/- 48 Vdc AI
• 2 x Form C auxiliary relays, available for system applications or alarms
• Trip/Close pair, latch, pulse, pulse pair and pulse train support for binary outputs
• Standard protocols (IEC 61850 Ed.2*, IEC 61850 GOOSE, IEEE 1815-2012 DNP3, MODBUS, IEC 60870-5-101*/104, OPC UA*)
• Optional satellite-synchronized clock (GNSS)* with access to GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou and QZSS constellations (not field-upgradable)
• Optional cellular modem*: CAT-M1 / NB IoT with Worldwide coverage and 3FF Micro-SIM card (Interchangeable)
• IRIG-B* input/output (for time synchronization and distribution)
• Web-based and local* HMI for alarm management and much more

Key characteristics of the digital I/O module (8 DI, 4 DO):

(Included in the SMP DA-3051, SMP DA-3052 and SMP DA-3053 models)

Digital inputs:

• AC and DC inputs
• 24—48 V, 125 V (range selectable by software)
• Tolerance/intolerance filtering
• Chatter protection
• Fail safe circuit
• Digital points software polarity reversal
• Persisted counters, with deadband, scaling and roll over detection
• Freeze, clear, freeze and clear counter support

Digital outputs:

• Output protection against single component failure
• Trip/close pair, latch, pulse and pulse pair support
• Pulse train command support
• Persisted operation counter
• Digital points software polarity reversal
• Control queuing allows up to 10 parallel requests, sequentially processed when the same point is targeted

Key characteristics of the analog I/O module (4 AI, 4 AO):

(Included in the SMP DA-3052 model)

Analog inputs:

• Voltage and current inputs (±10 V, ±1 mA, ±2 mA, ±20 mA, selectable by software)
• Resolution of 16-bits+sign
• High/Low warning support
• Deadband, scaling and units
• User calibration at fixed ambient temperature

Analog outputs:

• Voltage and current outputs (±10 V, ±20 mA, selectable by software)
• Self-sourcing outputs (cannot be used in a loop-powered setup)
• High-impedance output for redundancy applications
• Resolution of 12 bits
