Serial communication ports and drivers

Depending on the hardware configuration, the protection relay can be equipped with one
or several UART-based serial communication ports. The communication ports can be
either galvanic (RS-485, RS-232) or fiber optic. The protection relay uses serial ports and
drivers as different types of serial communication protocol links.
Serial ports are called COM1, COM2 and so on, depending on the number of serial ports
in the relay hardware configuration. Each COM port driver has its own setting parameters
found via the LHMI in Configuration/Communication/COMn (n= 1,2,...).
Since the same protection relay usually supports a variety of different communication
hardware options, all COM port driver setting parameters are not relevant for every
communication hardware type.

Used in the fiber optic mode only.
Note that "No fiber " mode is the same as
the galvanic mode.
For galvanic modes. RS-type depends
on the communication card used.
