5.4.1 Introduction
GUID-D02150FC-54F5-4CE4-8D3D-9F8796B6A527 v3
The galvanic X.21 line data communication module is used for connection to telecommunication
equipment, for example leased telephone lines. The module supports 64 kbit/s data communication
between IEDs.
Examples of applications:
• Line differential protection
• Binary signal transfer
