1 Remote end data communication
1.1 Application
The remote terminal communication modules can be used either for differential line protection
applications or for binary signal transfer of up to 32 signals in both directions between, for ex-
ample, distance protections. The following hardware modules are available:
• V35/36 contra-directional and co-directional
•X.21
• RS530/422 contra-directional and co-directional
•G.703
• Short-range galvanic module
• Fibre optical communication module
• Short-range fibre optical module

1.3 Fibre optical module
1.3.1 Application
The fibre optical communication module DCM-FOM can be used both with multi-mode and sin-
gle-mode fibres.The communication distance can typically be 40-60 km for single mode fibre
and typically 15-20 km for multi-mode fibre, and even further with high quality fibre. This in-
terface can also be used for direct connection with communication equipment of type FOX
512/515 from ABB.
