13 REMOTE DATA COMMUNICATIONS
The HPB Integrated Protection Relay has the facility for connecting remote monitoring equipment. This
can be in the form of either the Remote Display Module or other peripheral equipment such as PLC’s.
For PLC applications the Ampcontrol DNET-IP2 Serial Communications System transfers data and
commands between the Host System and the modules using RS232, RS422, and RS485 protocols.
Each integrated protection relay is connected to a Serial Interface (IPSI), which has its output drop
connected to a DNET-IP2 Protocol Converter. The Protocol Converter provides the communications link
to a PLC (See User Manual 118262 for further details).
