RTU560 integration

All products of the EDS500 series - FSK modems are also available as plugin modules for
RTU560.

Network structures

Devices of the EDS500 series allow you to realize a wide variation of network structures like
point-to-point connections, lines, stars and branches. The following small examples should
give an overview of possible network variants.
3.3.1

Line topology

A line topology usually follows the physical path of an infrastructure installation, e.g.
an energy line or pipeline. 500FSD analog modems realize a line topology by physically
connecting all modems to the same copper cable via two or four wires. In this so called
partyline or multidrop configuration the application protocol provides a polling scheme to
query and control the different stations.

Point-to-point topology

Point-to-point connections can be used if possible by the physical environment or if high
throughput is required. The point-to-point connection can utilize either two or four wires.
In four wire mode the connection can be operated full-duplex allowing symmetric protocols
to be used (e.g. symmetric IEC 60870-5-101). If two wires are used, full-duplex operation can
be achieved by using 500FSD20 and frequency-separated channels in transmit and receive
direction.
