5.17 Ethernet Port (Optional)
When the EasyGrid is ordered with an Ethernet
communication protocol (IEC61850, Modbus TCP/IP,
DNP 3.0 or IEC60870-5-104) to be used over a copper
network, the bottom plate will be fitted with an
Ethernet port (RJ-45) above the analog output terminal
block. The port is dedicated to the selected
communication protocol.
When Ethernet is to be used over a fiber optic network,
then the TX & RX optical connectors will be located in
the bottom right corner of the front connector panel.
