21.2.13 Galvanic RS485 communication module
21.2.13.1 Introduction
The Galvanic RS485 communication module (RS485) is used for DNP3.0 and IEC
60870-5-103 communication. The module has one RS485 communication port. The
RS485 is a balanced serial communication that can be used either in 2-wire or 4-wire
connections. A 2-wire connection uses the same signal for RX and TX and is a
multidrop communication with no dedicated Master or slave. This variant requires
however a control of the output. The 4-wire connection has separated signals for RX
and TX multidrop communication with a dedicated Master and the rest are slaves. No
special control signal is needed in this case.
21.2.13.2 Design
The RS485 is a PMC card and it is factory mounted as a mezzanine card on the NUM
module.
