Section 2: Physical Connection
The relay range provides one ‘Front’ USB communication interface (Com2) located on the fascia and one RS485
(Com1) located on the ‘Rear’. Access to the communication settings for the USB port is only available from the
relay front fascia via the key pad setting menu
COMMUNICATIONS MENU.
The communication settings for the
RS485 port are available from the relay front fascia via the key pad setting menu or through Reydisp via the USB
connection.
1. Com2-USB: this port is used for IEC60870-5-103 (default setting) communication with the Reydisp
software. An ASCII protocol, the main use of which is to allow firmware to be updated from the front
connection, is also available through this port.
2. Com1-RS485: this port can be used for IEC60870-5-103 or MODBUS RTU or DNP 3.0 communications
to a substation SCADA or integrated control system or engineer remote access.
The ports can be independently mapped to the IEC60870-5-103 or MODBUS RTU or DNP3.0 protocol or
switched OFF in the relay settings.. The same protocol can be used simultaneously on both ports.
SPDL. can provide a range of interface devices, please refer to product portfolio catalogue.
Full details of the interface devices can be found by referring to the webs

Communication ports
2.1.1 USB Interface
The USB communication port is connected using a standard USB cable with a type B connection to the relay and
type A to the PC.
The PC will require a suitable USB driver to be installed, this will be carried out automatically when the Reydisp
software is installed. When the Reydisp software is running with the USB cable connected to a device an
additional connection is shown in the Reydisp connection window, connections to the USB port are not shown
when they are not connected.
The USB communication interface on the relay is labelled Com 2 and its associated settings are located in the
Data communications menu. When connecting to Reydisp using this connection the default settings can be used
without the need to first change any settings, otherwise the Com 2 port must be set to IEC60870-5-103 (the relay
address and baud rate do not need to be set).

2.1.2 RS485 Interface
The RS485 communication port is located on the rear of the relay and can be connected using a suitable RS485
120 ohm screened twisted pair cable.
