SFP
Small form-factor pluggable (abbreviation)
Optical Ethernet port (explanation)
SLM
Serial communication module.
SMA connector
Subminiature version A, A threaded connector with constant
impedance.
SMT
Signal matrix tool within PCM600
SMS
Station monitoring system
SNTP
Simple network time protocol – is used to synchronize
computer clocks on local area networks. This reduces the
requirement to have accurate hardware clocks in every
embedded system in a network. Each embedded node can
instead synchronize with a remote clock, providing the
required accuracy.
SOF
Status of fault
SPA
Strömberg Protection Acquisition (SPA), a serial master/slave
protocol for point-to-point and ring communication.
SRY
Switch for CB ready condition
ST
Switch or push button to trip
Starpoint
Neutral/Wye point of transformer or generator
SVC
Static VAr compensation
TC
Trip coil
TCS
Trip circuit supervision
TCP
Transmission control protocol. The most common transport
layer protocol used on Ethernet and the Internet.
TCP/IP
Transmission control protocol over Internet Protocol. The de
facto standard Ethernet protocols incorporated into 4.2BSD
Unix. TCP/IP was developed by DARPA for Internet working
and encompasses both network layer and transport layer
protocols. While TCP and IP specify two protocols at specific
protocol layers, TCP/IP is often used to refer to the entire US
Department of Defense protocol suite based upon these,
including Telnet, FTP, UDP and RDP.
TEF
Time delayed gound-fault protection function
TLS
Transport Layer Security
TM
Transmit (disturbance data)
