19.2.15 Galvanic RS485 communication module
19.2.15.1 Introduction
The Galvanic RS485 communication module (RS485) is used for DNP3.0
communication. The module has one RS485 communication port. The RS485 is a
balanced serial communication that can be used either in 2-wire or 4-wire connections.
A 2-wire connection uses the same signal for RX and TX and is a multidrop
communication with no dedicated Master or slave. This variant requires however a
control of the output. The 4-wire connection has separated signals for RX and TX
multidrop communication with a dedicated Master and the rest are slaves. No special
control signal is needed in this case.
19.2.15.2 Design
The RS485 is a PMC card and it is factory mounted as a mezzanine card on the NUM
module. The internal structure of the RS485 can be seen in figure
