3.6.1 EnerVista communication overview

The EnerVista UR Setup software communicates to the relay via the faceplate RS232 port or the rear panel RS485 /
Ethernet ports.
To communicate via the faceplate RS232 port, use a standard straight-through serial cable. Connect the DB-9 male end to
the relay and the DB-9 or DB-25 female end to the computer COM2 port as described in the CPU Communication Ports
section earlier in this chapter.
To communicate through the N60 rear RS485 port from a computer RS232 port, the GE Digital Energy RS232/RS485
converter box is required. This device (catalog number F485) connects to the computer using a straight-through serial
cable. A shielded twisted-pair (20, 22, or 24 AWG) connects the F485 converter to the N60 rear communications port. The
converter terminals (+, –, GND) are connected to the N60 communication module (+, –, COM) terminals. See the CPU
Communication Ports section in chapter 3 for details. The line is terminated with an R-C network (that is, 120 , 1 nF) as
described in this chapter.
