Figure 186: Example of LON communication structure for a substation
automation system
An optical network can be used within the substation automation system. This
enables communication with the IEDs through the LON bus from the operator's
workplace, from the control center and also from other IEDs via bay-to-bay
horizontal communication. For LON communication an SLM card should be
ordered for the IEDs.
The fibre optic LON bus is implemented using either glass core or plastic core fibre
optic cables.
