‘Dynanet’ PDH Telecom Spares

Continuing in Operation, Still Available for Supply

The ‘Dynanet’ product family is a range of PDH telecommunications products first launched by Nokia over 20 years ago. This equipment has proven to be incredibly reliable and dependable, extensively deployed by Operators, Utilities and Transport companies to provide resilient and highly available transmission networks.   

A continuing challenge for public and private network owners is the ongoing maintenance of infrastructure systems to support their business needs. In many cases, it makes sense to continue to operate legacy systems which are still fulfilling unchanged requirements, rather than contemplate costly and time-consuming change-outs and replacements. 

Keeping Customers Operational

@YellowsBestLtd seeks out new products and legacy equipment spares to assist with these aims. Recent enquiries have been fulfilled supplying refurbished and surplus stocks of equipment cards, as well as built-to-order cables and connectors to suit exact requirements.

There follows a few examples of items we have recently supplied. Also, our more extensive Definitive ‘Dynanet’ spares list here provides details of many items still available from surplus and refurbished stock. We would welcome any enquiries for the supply of similar or alternative parts, or support services to provide hardware repairs. Please get in touch; we look forward to hearing from you!

Support for new and legacy systems

Our mission is with “Keeping Customers Operational”. One of the ways we accomplish this aim is by supplying spare parts for infrastructure systems, which are typically established, long-standing and therefore proven and fit-for-purpose. It makes sense to maintain and extend the life of these systems, as wholesale replacements will be costly and disruptive. This is particularly applicable when the service requirements have not changed, so functionality upgrades are not necessary.

Sometimes new product spares can be sourced, either manufactured to order, or from surplus stocks. Often when product ranges have been discontinued, the items can still be supplied as refurbished, working and tested elements, having been extracted from decommissioned networks.

Requirements for spare parts vary across a wide range of technologies and are usually sourced to support ‘legacy’ networks, but we also receive requests for new products to supplement the scope and capacity of more recently deployed systems.

@Yellowsbestltd would be keen to hear from you should you have any spares requirements. We have various elements in stock, and anything we don’t have immediately available we can usually source very quickly. Please get in touch to let us know what you need.

By example, there follows a list of a few recent requests we have been able to assist with. We look forward to hearing from you with any feedback you may have.

Optical Teleprotection Signalling (TPSO) Equipment (C37.94)

Electrical power systems protection

Teleprotection for power systems protection has been deployed by utility companies for many years. It’s purpose is to monitor the condition of the Electricity Grid, isolate faults, disconnecting faulty parts from the rest of the network and thereby prevent damage to critical parts of the power infrastructure.

Teleprotection is a physical interface between the telecommunications equipment and the electrical grid protection relays. When a fault occurs, the protection system switches on circuit breakers or reclosers to avoid a fault rippling through the network. Also, in the event of an outage, teleprotection helps restart power to a part of the grid.

Early teleprotection systems used voice-frequency signalling technologies. These were replaced by digital electrical Tele-Protection Signalling (TPS) equipment using 4 or 8 command channels encoded into a 64kbit/s standard digital data channel, in accordance with the ITU-T G.703 recommendations. This brought dependability and interoperability of systems, meaning that dedicated channels were no longer required as any standard digital transmission network could be used, separate from the power system.

This was later enhanced by the development of Tele-Protection Systems with Optical (TPSO) interfaces, which allowed the direct fibre connection between the teleprotection device and the primary multiplexer. 

The IEEE C37.94 standard for TPSO interfaces

The IEEE C37.94 standard defines an optical fibre interface for use between teleprotection systems and digital multiplexer equipment, operating at a data rate of nx64kbit/s. 

This allows the interconnection of different vendors teleprotection equipment with different vendors multiplexer equipment, without any restriction on the content of the nx64kbps data, using up to 2km of 50μm or 62.5μm multimode (or up to 20 km of 9μm single-mode) optical fibre.

Critical Systems deployment 

Teleprotection systems are typically installed in high-voltage transmission grids where distances are usually greater than in distribution grids and play a critical role in preventing instability in the grid and damage to expensive substation equipment.

Teleprotection systems monitor conditions on transmission lines and coordinate tripping of the transmission lines to quickly isolate faults. 

A teleprotection system usually has two components: a protection relay, which executes the actual switching; and the teleprotection equipment itself, which is the interface to the mission-critical communications network. 

Typical Teleprotection Systems Network

To ensure that the power systems are properly protected, real-time exchange of status information messages and commands between teleprotection equipment must be reliably transferred with tightly-controlled latency over a deterministic mission-critical communications network, traditionally composed of TDM multiplexers and optical PDH or SDH equipment. 

Nokia ‘Dynanet’ TPSO 24204

An example of a vendor’s multiplexer is the Nokia ‘Dynanet’ equipment family. This utilises the TPSO 24204 interface unit for connecting the teleprotection devices directly to the primary multiplexer. This provides four IEEE C37.94 standard interfaces, with nx64kbit/s optical data channels (where n is 1 to 12).

TPSO – 24204

Because of the direct connection, there is no need for a separate converter to change the optical connection to electrical. This eliminates electrical interference and data corruption caused by disturbances from the high voltage power line.
