7SR21 & 7SR22 Data Communications
Section 1: Introduction
The relay can communicate with control and automation systems, or with PCs running Reydisp Evolution
software, to provide operational information, post-fault analysis, settings, interrogation and editing facilities. This
section describes how to use the Communication Interface with a control system or interrogating computer.
Appropriate software within the control system or on the interrogating computer (e.g. Reydisp Evolution) is
required to access the interface.
This section specifies connection details and lists the events, commands and measurands provided in each
product as detailed in the Diagrams and Parameters section. For further information regarding the IEC60870-5-
103 interface, reference should be made to the separate Informative Communications Interface manual
(reference 434/TM/5 available from www.siemens.com/energy).
The Communications Interface for dialogue communications by the Protection Engineer is provided by the
Reydisp Evolution software package, also available from the website, using the IEC60870-5-103 protocol.
