Communication Applications Of The Plug-In Modules - Siemens SIPROTEC 5 Series Hardware Description

Plug-In Modules
4.2 Communication Modules
•
Ethernet Modules
Application: Ethernet-based communication to the substation automation technology via substation-
control protocols (for example, IEC 61850 and DNP3)
– Secure communication to DIGSI 5
– Communication between the devices (IEC 61850-GOOSE)
– Synchrophasor protocol
The modules can be operated with or without an integrated switch.
•
Long-distance modules
Application: Direct protection interface communication over long distances using multimode or single-
mode optical fibers.
The designation of the modules corresponds to the following scheme, which is typically explained with the
module USART-AB-1EL. The module designation consists of 3 blocks.
1st block
2nd block
3rd block
