Protocols
Figure. 4.6 - 39. View of the Protocols submenu.
The
Protocols submenu offers access to the various communication protocol configuration menus.
Some of the communication protocols use serial communication and some use Ethernet
communication. Serial communication protocols can be used either with the RS-485 port that is always
equipped in AQ-200 series units or with serial communication option card. Ethernet communication
protocols can be used either with the RJ-45 port in the back of the unit or with an ethernet
communication option card.
The communication protocols are:
• NTP: this protocol is used for time synchronization over Ethernet, and can be used
simultaneously with the ethernet based communication protocols.
• IEC 61850: Ethernet based communication protocol.
• Modbus/TCP: Ethernet communication protocol.
• Modbus/RTU: Serial communication protocol.
• IEC103: Serial communication protocol.
• IEC101/104: The standards IEC 60870-5-101 and IEC 60870-5-104 are closely related. On
the physical layer the IEC 101 protocol uses serial communication whereas the IEC 104
protocol uses Ethernet communication.
• SPA: Serial communication protocol.
• DNP3: Supports serial and Ethernet communication.
• ModbusIO: Used for connecting external devices like ADAM RTD measurement units.
