Communication Interfaces

1.1

Electrical and Optical Ethernet

This chapter provides detailed information about the communication options and
how to configure them
The RPV311 has the following communication interfaces:
Two 10/100BaseT Ethernet interfaces using RJ45 connectors (ETH 1 and ETH 2);
One 100 Mbps Ethernet interface using RJ45 connectors (Process Bus)
Two optical Ethernet interfaces (100BaseFX), using ST connectors for use with
multimode fiber-optic, of an internal electric-optical Ethernet converter (optional);
A serial interface in RS232C level, using DB-9 female connector, DTE standard
(Modem). This interface can be used only to communicate by Modem.
The RPV311 has 2 electrical 10 / 100 Mbps Ethernet interfaces for configuration,
monitoring and GOOSE reading and one electrical 100 Mbps Ethernet interface for
Process Bus (IEC 61850-9-2LE Sampled Values and GOOSE)
Optionally it is possible to use the double internal converter for optical Ethernet
interface, making the connection between the RJ45 connector of the electrical
Ethernet interface and the RJ45 connector of the internal optical Ethernet converter
by using a jumper cable, and connecting the fiber-optic pair with the appropriate ST
connectors.
Figure 98 shows the electrical and optical Ethernet interfaces. On the left are the
interfaces for configuration, monitoring and GOOSE. On the right is the interface for
Sampled Values and GOOSE reading.
