Data communication
• Report of analog service values (measurements)
• Fault location
• Command handling
- Autorecloser ON/OFF
- Teleprotection ON/OFF
- Protection ON/OFF
- LED reset
- Characteristics 1 - 4 (Setting groups)
• File transfer (disturbance files)
• Time synchronization
The events created in the terminal available for the IEC protocol are based on the event function
blocks EV01 - EV06 and disturbance function blocks DRP1 - DRP3. The commands are repre-
sented in a dedicated function block ICOM. This block has output signals according to the IEC
protocol for all commands.

2.4 Serial communication, SPA
2.4.1 Application
This communication bus is mainly used for SMS. It can include different numerical relays/ter-
minals with remote communication possibilities. Connection to a personal computer (PC) can
be made directly (if the PC is located in the substation) or by telephone modem through a tele-
phone network with ITU (former CCITT) characteristics.
2.4.2 Design
When communicating with a PC, using the rear SPA port, the only hardware needed for a station
monitoring system is:
• Optical fibres
• Opto/electrical converter for the PC
•PC
or
• An RS485 network installation according to EIA
•PC
